He never stopped speaking to Putin.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

He spoke with Putin, or only got orders?

Where do you think he gets his instructions on how to destabilize the U.S.?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Yup, on speaker, with Musk close to him.

The fact that you guys couldn't put an end to this guy's career is astounding.

We tried, but education in this country is a failure (among basically everything else)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not a matter of education. It's morality. This nation has sold its soul for the Dow.

More like the wealthy, who have always been in charge, decided to take their masks off for the last decade to see what would happen. The people didn't balk so it is game on.

You have heard of regulatory capture. This is cultural capture where all media is working together to keep people complacent and distracted while the rich rob the fuck out of everything.

When asked if he would cut all aid to Ukraine if a peace deal can't be brokered he said:

The reason that I don’t like to tell you this is that, as a negotiator, when I sit down and talk to some very brilliant young people: young, young, young, young. Compared to me, you’re very young. But when I talk to people—when I start I think I have a very good plan to help, but when I start exposing that plan, it becomes almost a worthless plan.

There are almost too many wtf's in this quote to tackle lol. What the hell is this answer.

"If I tell you my plan, you'll just say it's a stupid plan, so I'm not telling you my plan."

He’s senile.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't see why he doesn't just admit to everything he's ever done.

It is not like there are going to be any consequences.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Habitual liar, so it just comes naturally.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hard to talk when your mouth is full.

I was thinking the vibrating buttplug for communication, like that chess player

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

He choked a little. Frosting lip, if ya know what I mean. Mouth down on the brown frown.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Failed to end the war so he can't admit it?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

He absolutely has

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Narrator: He did.

He surely has taken at least SOME instructions?
