*Nitter mirror. Don’t link directly to that shit stain of a site
We need to appropriate this image and post it every time an airplane crashes or eggs go up 0.25.
Every time they fire a critical public safety team then scramble to try to rehire them.
This needs to be our image now.
Like this? Would look better if the crown was replaced with a jester hat
You know the Biden “I did that stickers”? Im so very very tempted to print those but with elon hitting the heil and cover each old one up.
America is wild man. You’ve got a dictator doing what ever he wants and then you’ve got states suing, I don’t even know who they’re suing (Trump?), judges blocking orders and stuff.
seperation of powers would do wonders there, although the elites would argue it suppresses the rights of the people or whatever jargon they have left.
Yaa like Trump has ever been on or near public transit. He doesn’t believe in it either
To be fair public transit would be a lot less appealing if you would meet people like Trump or Musk on there.
Americans bow to no king.
Some Americans bow to the king, actually quite a lot of them.
I think I’m gonna do shrooms since I cannot do this bullshit anymore. Where the fuck is the world heading… :(
If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what’s happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?
Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you’re subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn’t something that heals you, it’s the changes you make after the trip that matter.
Also, I’m kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don’t.
Yeah, just do pot. It’s safe and should get your mind off things pretty effectively.
The words hell in a handbasket come to mind.
So is it time for 1788 France now?
Yes
On i’ll fait comme le français!!!
LOL
Just to check, because I’m no longer sure:
Is this real?
Yes. Satire sites are obsolete these days.
If I had a time machine, the first thing I would tell our past selves is exactly that.
Click the link. Absurdly, it is real.
Kill the king, feed the people. Death to the American monarchy.
In the old times the king bore the failures of his kingdom. They chopped him up and put the parts around the borders for protection and watered the crops with his blood. Just sayin.
Actually good that Trump put that in the world. It might be the last facet of reality that people can share. Red Caps would not believe anybody else characterizing the US as a monarchy but maybe this enables a debate as there is not longer the (or rather as easy of a) possibility to just say “no your initial issue is already not true”.
But then Red Caps often don’t even believe trump has said the things he said, delusion and projection on another level. So eeeeh… shit is probably fucked either way 🙃🤷♂️
You can have a democratically elected king. It’s only not a democracy when the king decides who takes the throne after them, instead of having an election. We have a Democratic Kingdom, say it with me phonetically -Dema-kratik-king-dumb-. Did we want this? I dont fuckin know… a majority kept voting for it so we the people must have fuckin wanted it. What is dead however, is the republic. Ain’t no one representing you, you just vote people into a throne.
Something something taxation without representation something revosuiton something
Great, so the Cheeto declared himself King now. I’m trying to remember what people did to resolve the problems with kings in the past…
Something in French.
Who called 249 years til they get a king again?
Why does he even have a say in whatever congestion pricing is for a specific city?
He’s arguing that it’s because federally funded highways go into the city.
Okay… so in less than a day, any plausible deniability that Trump thinks himself the dictator of the USA has completely evaporated.
You would think so, wouldn’t you? I have had the distinct displeasure of viewing Reddit’s r/conservative subreddit though, and to them this is just Trump “trolling.”
What’s that narcissist’s prayer again? “He didn’t say that. And if he did, it wasnt that bad. And if it was, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, that isn’t his fault. And if it was, he didn’t mean it. And if he did, America deserved it.”
I legitimately cannot get out of this country fast enough. I already have a plan in motion to escape, as a minority I can’t escape the constant anxiety that something terrible is going to happen to me here…
That’s been every day since well before he was elected.
There was a lot of humming and hawing about what Trump “really meant” about “dictator for a day”.
He already said that’s what he wanted. He said it before voting even happened. There was no reason to doubt that’s what he wanted.
And the people voted for him (or didn’t bother to vote) anyway. America as a whole deserves the shit that we’ve brought down on ourselves, which is really too bad considering how the people that are most actively anti-fascist are going to bear the brunt of the consequences.
Is there a reason conservatives dislike congestion pricing other than spite?
Gods, they’re just the worst fucking people.
Same reason congestion pricing is hated everywhere until it’s implemented and people start seeing the benefits, people are cheap. Coincidentally also the reason congestion pricing works so well at regulating demand for a road and improving conditions.
The stupidest part to me is that toll roads work this way and are wildly popular with conservatives. They’re just angry it’s a public thing and that it’s for public transportation support and not to make some private company money.
They’re just angry it’s a public thing […] and not to make some private company money.
This is always the case
Money they dont get? Lol make sure they lick the toes
Thing is…this is just another toll. It bills you the same as all the other tolls in the city. They just gave it a different name. That’s it. In the first days, people were bitching because they took the trains and the busses, but everyone who isn’t an asshole (those of us who don’t drive) didn’t even realize it took effect and everyone was like “woah, what’s going on? Is it a holiday? It was so quiet on my way to work. It was awesome.”
But these motherfuckers
Cars checks all the boxes to them - helps with segregation, creates demand for oil, multiple vectors for environmental destruction, weird nostalgia and culture war fodder, another subsidy for rural/suburban voters, and it’s the embodiment of not giving a shit about anyone else’s and being a big boy. But yeah each of the individual factors boils down to spite.
They also make people a lot angrier. Angrier people are easier to manipulate
Fun Fact: The Roman Republic viewed regicide as a virtue. As I understand it, “he was trying to become king” was grounds for a justifiable homicide defense.
Yeah, even when they had Emperors the idea was so ground in that they never claimed the title of Rex.
Partly because Imperator was seen as better anyways but it was absolutely a thing.
Fun East Rome Best and Worst Rome Fact: the ERE Emperor claimed the title Basilieus basically the moment Western Rome fell. Guess what it means?
Basil eater?
