    Exactly as I’ve been predicting.

    & it took 1 month, to-the-day, for Trump to resolve to that position, too.

    There’s 44 MORE months until the purported “election” which Trump would have, to elect his-replacement, right?

    The Trump/Putin/Orban/Millei/LePen/AfD/Farage/etc. global-alliance is going to be OWNING this world’s-determination, shortly, unless SOMEBODY among the various “political parties” grows some SPINE, immediately.

    What “Interesting Times” to be living-in…

    ( yes, that refers to the Chinese curse: “may you live in interesting-times”. )

      When are americans using the second amendment to overthrow this dictator? I mean its what they sacrificed all these children for right? To be able to “defend” their democracy. I always called it bs, now they have a chance to proof it

        The Venn diagram of people who are all over 2A rights and people who are trump supporters has significant overlap.

          Pro tip: if someone says something is anything based on race or regional group, they are likely lying to you. Double if group is asian. Double again if china. “Ancient Chinese wisdom” is actually, by some mathematical quirks, 103.7% likely to not be from china.

            The whole “well shit” portion is because I usually don’t buy into that stuff, and this was legit an eye opener for me. I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment. But I’m lazy.

              But I got the opportunity to make a dumb joke about math that you seemingly got mildly butthurt about, so really it all works out.

                I read my reply a few times now, and I’m not seeing what makes you think my feeling was hurt? I was by no means offended, thought we were just talking?
                If I had been offended, believe you me, you would know.
                Regardless, wasn’t offended before, and certainly not offended now. I work construction, have my whole adult life, being delicate doesn’t do one any favours.
                Enjoy your day.

                  Since you asked the part that stood out was very small

                  I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment.

                  Feels a little: ugh sure I guessss I could have explained more, so tedious

                  Clearly this was a misinterpretation.

      44 months is simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic.

      He’ll either extend his tenure to a 3rd term or get himself and/or the entire U.S. killed.
