This level of projection usually requires lasers and a special backdrop screen.

He concluded with, "Worthless orange lumps can't even score with their own gorgeous daughters!"

So much projection it's a damn Pink Floyd show. Complete with pig.

I just came here to say 'Fuck Donald Drumpf'

Weird how right-wing radio isn't freaking out about how Trump 'hates America' when he makes comments like this.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That goes against the key tenant of being right-wing: no introspection

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

That's his campaign promise.

Why would I vote for someone that thinks my country is a hellhole? He thinks our (and his) country is so bad that the country goes to shit with less than one presidential term following his own? That sounds to me like either he’s the one who did a shit job before or everything he says is bullshit - likely both.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only time Trump says something correct - and even then, he probably has the wrong idea on who those “thugs” and “perverts” are, because it’s sure as hell not just the Democratic Party.

He is the pervert and the thug.

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

If he hates it so much he's welcome to leave. I hear Russia is taking rich new citizens.

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

Maybe he can just move somewhere else.

[–] InternetCitizen2 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmmm, I wonder what they will do with their 'love it or leave it' mentality?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They will excuse it because he said it.

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

If Republicans didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Projecting much?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Look, Trump didn't do anything to improve things for the working person. I ain't about to give him four more years to come up with stuff in which I could have come up with on my own.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember when even being mildly critical of America was seen as anti American. How the narrative changes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's critical of those people.

"Ran by perverts and thugs"

Someone tell this stupid asshole that he didn't win in 2020.

[–] btaf45 5 points 1 year ago

Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is a pervert and a thug. It is pure projection.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Fuck him. I'm living just fine.

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

He threatened to “reclaim colleges” and “choke off the money” to universities that he claims are leading a “Marxist assault” on “Western civilization itself.” He also pledged to revive an even wider ban on people from majority Muslim countries from entering the US, along with mass deportations of people living in the country and ending birthright citizenship for the children of people who are in the US without legal permission.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

He's right about the fascism thing, but for the wrong reasons.

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

For once Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump did not tell a lie. Voting for Treason Trump would indeed be voting for the end of democracy.

We all know that this will be the choice at the ballot box:

(D) Democracy

(R-) Russia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So he really still thinks he's running this country, huh?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

He's about 3 years late but hey, better late than never.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Takes one to know one.
