Trump announces a new King's decree that toilets shall now be 75% larger after trying to fit his fat fucking ass on a regular toilet.

He doesn't want it rebuilt or modernized in any way. The more medieval the better. A spot to dump undesirables and forget them.

Alcatraz was a ridiculously expensive prison. That is why it closed down. Meanwhile as a museum it is actually generating millions of dollars every year in revenue.

Unrelated but his stupid ass grin pmo so fucking much. Like Nigel Farage's but worse.

The good thing about this is that everyone who saw the rock movie knows the timing for the boiler room doors so they can easily escape

Aww, how cute, he wants to choose the prison he will rot in while awaiting his execution.

Good lord, no, keep him far away from California!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

If him being in California is torture to him, I say do it.

Consider how stupid Donald Trump is, then consider how stupid one would have to be to vote for him, then consider that those people are all around you, all the time.

Don't do that. Consider how intelligent and belligerent all humans you interacted with are. Consider the few rotten eggs. Consider that they are lost and need guidance. Stop being an asshole if you don't want to be subjected to asshole. The golden rule and karma are concepts that arise naturally as an objective truth that we collectively don't understand yet can easily observe in personal trials everywhere

Consider the few rotten eggs.

The majority of voting Americans aren't "a few rotten eggs".

Consider that they are lost and need guidance.

It's 2025. This has been going on for a decade. We already went through one term with this dumbfuck as a trial run. There are no excuses now.

The golden rule and karma

Karma does not exist. The golden rule is only a rule if it is followed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's not true, and I can notice that you never tried the golden rule. The majority of voters in the US is an extremely small group of hateful people, and they are a few rotten eggs. They are misguided by foul mistreatment by the profit incentives and they are lured into rage by corrupt media. Without education in a first world country you arrive at this automatically if you employ hyper capitalist policy.
