    “The president uses social media to make a point,” Johnson told reporters Monday. “He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole.”

    – Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.

      My favourite thing about this is that … he’ll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).

      Think about it … JFK had famous speeches and lines like ‘We choose to go to the moon’ … Eisenhower is thought of to his line ‘the Military Industrial complex’ … Roosevelt for his ‘Day of infamy’ speech … even Reagan is remembered for his ‘Tear down this wall’ speech

      Trump? … he’ll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.

      … and it isn’t just representative of Trump … no matter how the country feels about it … his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.

        His legacy will be that of a cautionary tale on how not to be the most embarrassing footnote in American history.

        His grave should be the only location where public dedication is legalized.

          If only.

          Should America one day go back to something resembling a functioning democracy, his legacy will be “who could have seen it coming” “no-one I know voted for him” “voter fraud” “we were too afraid” “at least the trains ran on time” “it was China/Russia’s fault”. I’ve heard most of those already.

          Variations on all these lies and more were peddled by the Germans after the war and believed by the world. Even by American judges right after WWII who acquitted the overwhelming majority of Nazi War Criminals tried at Nuremberg despite mountains of evidence.

          Anything but a society, culture, and individuals holding themselves accountable for easily predictable and predicted failures to govern.

        he’ll be remembered

        That’s what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.

        In a way, that’s one nice thing about how he’s destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.

          In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven’t forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always “remember” Trump in that way when he’s gone.

            Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.

          He doesn’t care about being remembered per se, just getting his ego stroked now. And all his shitty juvenile impulses fulfilled.

          some other country

          Yeah, because anyone who’s attempting to control this country is doing such a great job in their own that it’s something we should look forward to.

          How do you think all this shit got started? Trump didn’t really have the friends or influence domestically.

      To the people like me who are confused, this is the actual video the US president posted. I figured this was too far even for that guy.

    They do because they have no choice. Their ability to think for themselves has been compromised. Think of them like Ophiocordyceps fungi: basically, they have zero control over their own behavior outside of their servitude to Tantrumus Maximus. If he wills it, they see it done- without question and without consciousness.

    Is this … about the “pee tape”? An attempt to make it look like a nothingburger? To innoculate the public against the outcry that would happen if it was released? “Look, you all laughed at it when I shit from a fighter, this pee thing is boring next to that”.

    I’m reminded about when he broke up a protest against police brutality to get a photo op in front of a church in 2020. I guess that sort of thing is just another tuesday

      I never forgot about that. But the problem is that every fucking day Trump does something insane. It is actually really, REALLY hard to keep up. When anti-Trumpers do something wrong, it is often the biggest thing they did and people will not shut up about it.

      I mean imagine if this a crime like burglary. A guy who did a single burglary years ago has obviously done something wrong, but what if you got a second person who provably did hundreds? I’m sorry, but you can’t just focus on the latest shit. Trump has been doing this basically his entire life. He has no redeeming virtues whatsoever. Even during his ‘business’ days in the 80s and 90s when he was going from failure to failure, he would insult his investors that he didn’t screw them up even more… and they would still give him more money for his next failed scheme. I don’t get it.
