Already preparing to put people with psychological disorders into camps..

Looks like we're in the "degenerate" stage of fascism now.

He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.

Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:

"If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you'll be able to tell what they're going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric".

"They'll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts."

(e.g.) "If they start talking about able-bodied people, it's Medicaid."

I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!

He doesn't need evidence he has "common sense"

Actual quote from the press conference

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

Due to his barren mental landscape, he can only rant about two or three things in a given month.

Its like he goes out of his way to project.

Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?

I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That might indicate that he recently was informed that he has dementia and that it's incurable.

Or maybe he wants all his political opponents and critics declared insane so he can have them tortured with outdated treatments like lobotomies and endless rounds of ECT.

You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago (4 children)

A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.

[–] amon 65 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Holy hell it's only been 10 days

[–] spankmonkey 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

These 10 days have been the longest decade of my life.

He doesn't actually care who or what is responsible as long as he can tell people it isn't him.

If he had half a brain he would just say investigations are ongoing whenever asked.

severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions

So trump is confirming his numerous physical and mental deficiencies?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Projection is always a confession with Trump.

[–] AliasAKA 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.
