This manchild is going after Ann Selzer for her Iowa poll that showed him behind,He is one Twitter Golf insult away from asking Leon for their names and addresses,

Preparing for dictatorship? Oh US, what have you done…………?

theyootopian.bsky.social•101 days ago

Excellent!

chrisgibbons.bsky.social•102 days ago

Hmm, purge of the military to remove future problems. Where have I previously heard that happen??

afmell.bsky.social•102 days ago

Has he compromised military courts? Seems this could explode in his face if all the cases get thrown out as meritless. And refocus on the fact Trump put them in the position that they needed to make a hasty withdrawal in the first place.

Can the commander in chief be prosecuted under the same charge, or would presidential immunity apply?

sindalott.bsky.social•102 days ago

Probably

ellydavis.bsky.social•102 days ago

Plenty of military personnel voted for him after he called them losers and suckers and all the rest of it. They'll be absolutely fine with this because it's all about him, not the country and they're happy to serve him. So f**k 'em.

cheshiredoglady.bsky.social•102 days ago

Apparently, record numbers of Americans are planning to emigrate. I can't remember where I read it, but it was in the last few days.

sindalott.bsky.social•102 days ago

Why would they come here?

cheshiredoglady.bsky.social•102 days ago

I don't actually know where they're heading. Canada?

mrgtan121.bsky.social•101 days ago

Mexico?

sindalott.bsky.social•101 days ago

Maybe I’d choose Mexico.

thebathlandlady.bsky.social•102 days ago

Anyone else get the feeling a lot of Americans may choose to come and live over here soon?

nanavupnorth.bsky.social•102 days ago

That would be a good thing, might stop our own incremental slide towards the same thing here.

thebathlandlady.bsky.social•102 days ago

Well, quite.

sindalott.bsky.social•102 days ago

Like the return of the Titanic?

canazin.bsky.social•102 days ago

It’s common knowledge that the 🍊🤡 is a bitter grudge holder.

He’ll have lists….

jaylionel.bsky.social•102 days ago

This is the weirdest reality.

viviennesoton.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m surprised by the number of people still trying to tell me that Trump isn’t serious about any of this and will govern like a proper President after January. He’s actually laying out his plans and there are people who still think everything is going to be fine! Reminds me of Brexit 2016-20.

nanavupnorth.bsky.social•102 days ago

Reminds me of 2016 but on speed dial😬

djt1million.bsky.social•102 days ago

Brexit & Boris Johnson too & it will all end in a mess.

What I think may happen is that Trump will waste all his & his administrations energies on petty vendettas & payback, that will bog them down in a mass of lawsuits, protests & targets fighting back. None of this will be pretty.

sindalott.bsky.social•102 days ago

Does feel a bit the same.

mrgtan121.bsky.social•101 days ago

He is going to show everyone how to embed the "fuck" into "cluster." It's going to be downhill all the way.

drkimshepherd.bsky.social•102 days ago

This has less to do with Afghanistan and more to do with the military preventing Trump from firing nuclear weapons the last time

Nukes are on Trump's Bucket List. A power he was prevented from using. By the very Generals he's trying to remove

Authoritarianism only works if the military complies

anniedorset.bsky.social•102 days ago

Who in their right mind would sign up in future.

jezparton.bsky.social•102 days ago

That was my first thought

jodami.bsky.social•102 days ago

Someone must have told him this could get very embarrassing for him when the truth comes out.

Oh yeah, embarrassment is something that happens to other people.

ambinthelakes.bsky.social•102 days ago

Truly unhinged 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

connolly-lg.bsky.social•101 days ago

I think if you needed proof that the Oliver Stone JFK military industrial complex conspiracies were nonsense, then this ongoing farce with no CIA intervention would surely be enough?

karmaunc.bsky.social•102 days ago

I have a hunch we'll soon be seeing an influx of Americans claiming asylum.

heppy111.bsky.social•101 days ago

Military trials would seem a necessary step towards cowing the military as full-blown authoritarianism takes hold. And, once the trump team get a taste for such things, and especially for the baying crowds they will generate, the door is then open to the worst type of witchhunting.

leftiewokesue.bsky.social•102 days ago

Looking for scapegoats to soothe the Trump ego... how very Hitleresque

les-spaceman.bsky.social•102 days ago

I suspect he may use this as an excuse to quash a possible revolt by the military.

thebestoption85.bsky.social•102 days ago

He and Biden should go first then since they’re both to blame. This crybaby really looks at the presidency as 4 seasons of his failed tv show. One of his many failures.

shaneod.bsky.social•102 days ago

That’s normal … 🙄

arj0.bsky.social•102 days ago

There is going to be a lot of ‘lists’

darthwabbitt.bsky.social•102 days ago

Madness. How to take over a democracy.

dextercrisp.bsky.social•102 days ago

I'm not usually the sort to advocate a military coup, but in this case I'm prepared to make an exception.

mistermajestik.bsky.social•102 days ago

It's going to be far worse under Trump than we all imagined.

wohyeahwohyeah.bsky.social•102 days ago

I cannot work out his angle here... is he just going to pick people he knows won't be loyal to him and add them to this list? What's even the reason for the charge?

grumpybb.bsky.social•102 days ago

Will we see some members and former members of the US military claiming political asylum soon?

djt1million.bsky.social•102 days ago

More & more I think that Trump's administration is going to run into big trouble very quickly indeed.

marilan22.bsky.social•102 days ago

God I hope you are right.

djt1million.bsky.social•102 days ago

I think it is inevitable though that does not mean there won't be a lot of damage caused by Trump, sadly. They are already fighting like rats in a sack & he has not even been inaugurated yet. Next up I expect Musk to be dumped due to a clash of 2 massive egos then the worm will turn.

dylaninbelfast.bsky.social•102 days ago

Trump's plots and schemes, especially his batshit economic plans, are giving me big Liz Truss vibes. The wheels will come off sooner rather than later.

djt1million.bsky.social•102 days ago

He is like Truss & Johnson rolled into one stinky package. There's talk of the UK going the same way which completely ignores the reality that the UK went the same way, we've been there, done that & rejected that! We're now in recovery.

dylaninbelfast.bsky.social•102 days ago

Indeed. Maybe the US needs the coming disaster to finally purge the MAGA poison from its system, who knows?
That's if there's anything left afterwards, of course 😕
