Nah, he is the most human of it all. Greedy, callous, totally void of empathy, and filled with hate.
He's human. Don't elevate him into a (negative) godlike status, see his humanity, and defeat him
Myanmar hasn't grovelled to the King. No aid will henceforth be provided to any country guilty of insufficient fealty or tribute to maga and its Dear Leader. Perhaps if they have some desirable beachfront that could be opened to development by the Trump Org, we could talk about disaster relief.
Infuriating😡. Just a 3 man team & the tfg white house won't allow it. I used to be proud of the way the US took the lead in responding to international disasters. Now, I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.
There is no excuse or explanation for this, except incompetence at every level of this administration, is no one exempt from this madness. This is dangerous and it will get more people killed. Make no mistake hundreds have already died or will die.
Over the span of the USA's history the postwar settlement, GI Bill, civil rights era etc was the exception. Trump style government and policies was the norm right up to FDR. MAGA is simply America back on cruise control.
I worked in aid centers in Port Au Prince. People would walk across the island when they heard the Americans were there. They knew we’d help, and we did.
We’ve done plenty to be ashamed of, but there’s had been an era when America meant relief to the world’s most downtrodden.
have you heard of iran contra? or the crack cocaine being targeted at black communities to undermine american black communities? you just don't know your american history. you believed the apple pie lie. that were good and innocent. we are not.
reality does not help the fascists. reality helps us make corrections. reality isn't always pretty. but truth is truth and we need to stand in self-honesty to correct the past. america has been a terrorist state for 100yrs. own it so we can fix it.
Myanmar and everybody else around the world, will be BETTER OFF, WITHOUT "help" from USA. All USA wants to do is assassinate their leaders. They will be safer with a friend in China.
"The problem is they fired most of the 500 people that make up the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance, so obviously there are no people [from the bureau] to be on the Dart team to be sent..."
I know but 3 people? Trump personally said he would send help! I figured he wouldn’t but 3 people is just insulting! We must get Trump out of office! We must! 🤬
Sounds like Elon and his baby bro friends in action. I just hope they get a painful disease. Could wish it upon their loved ones, but they don’t loved anyone.
I try to avoid stepping on them. I also dodge the little frogs that cross our road in droves in the spring. Their hatching ground (wet weather ponds) are across the other side from the big permanent ponds. 😭
When Independence gets its floods, and the fields are inundated, the roads get overrun with turtles. It's a slalom weaving in and out, trying not to crush the shell-backs. I'd feel guilty if I had run any over 😔
Yep, my son and I both stop and get turtles out of the road. I hate to see dead animals on the side of the road knowing that if it was that close to the shoulder someone deliberately hit it. 🤬🤬🤬
I actually do attempt, however lamely, to avoid stepping on insects that aren't in a position to do me harm. I'm not indifferent, just practical. But there comes a point where excess indifference itself becomes cruelty. Sadism requires pleasure and intent on the part of the sadist, cruelty does not.
Where's the line btwn cruelty and indifference? It's not intent or purpose. To knowingly and indifferently observe suffering while having plausible means to easily alleviate it is cruelty, not indifference. Those who can remain indifferent to suffering are cruel, even sadistic, not just indifferent.
Malicious indifference is just another form of cruelty. Sometimes, it's the worst form, as in the current case, because it not the indifference that arises from a subconscious attempt at self-defense through denial, but rather it's a manifestation of general inhumanity and an utter lack of empathy.
The felon does all his damage on a Friday. That has always been his M.O. The cruelty he exhibits needs to be thrown right back at him every single day of his life!
When you are so delusional to perceive yourself in a godly kinglike manner who surrounds yourself with lackies you have no empathy or soul. Your only desire is to be adored and subjugate everyone. It is indeed mental madness. He has NO redeeming qualities.
This is depravity. Send people overseas to a disaster area and then fire them. Quite frankly they keep proving over and over they have no idea what they are doing. trump and the oligarch minions are heartless and have no empathy. No empathy elon, you must be so proud.
All of the above, but I really do believe its due to poor education. Look at education standards in the state & compare voting. Lower standards, don't teach critical thinking skills, bombard them with propaganda (FOX, Truth Social). repeat until lies become truth, control the people. Sound familiar
All true, and too familiar. And only 50 percent of the electorate voted last November. With public education being intentionally undermined, what do any of us have to look forward to? The uneducated simply scorn the life of the mind without realizing it's what makes life worth living.
In all honesty it could come down to people helping children to learn. You know teachers are going to be pushed to the max. Maybe folks will have to volunteer to teach kids to read and write. You know the old skills. It is literally going to take a village as they say. Its like going back in time
I think so. I’m lucky to have had a good education in school. But I also had one at home. My parents were intelligent, educated, experienced, and informed. (And older) Parents will now have to take the lead if they haven’t before in making sure their kids learn.
This 'administration' is out of control, and the GOP members of Congress voted against all of the amendments proposed last night to end this nightmare.
They are all complicit and without moral compasses.
LOL, I LOVE posts like this. When has a single repuglican ever shown they have any moral compass? WHEN? Imagine a government with ONLY democrats? How wonderful would the world be?
They will abandon employees in a disaster zone. They will deport legal residents to a foreign concentration camp. They will come after citizens. Don’t believe for one second that you’re safe, even if you voted for him three times.
If we had a military that honored their oaths they’d remove the entire GOP from their offices for violating their oaths to protect the Constitution
Republicans are a russian backed lawless cabal NOT Civil Servants
Start treating them all like it!
QUIT playing around w/a prty of fckng treasonists!
The mistake they made is they were helping people in need. That's not allowed. The only good use of taxpayers' money is to spend every weekend golfing at Mar-a-Lago.
It will take more than sneakers and a march. We need a sustained presence in the streets ready to be hosed, gassed or possibly shot, or we need some Republicans to put the Kool Aid down.
Isn’t that part of both Project 2025 and what Steve Bannon has been proposing for years - to destroy democracy because it hampers the ‘freedom’ of the oligarchs? The Heritage Foundation is behind this pulling the strings & Trump is the useful idiot paving the way. Vance will take over. Monstrous.
Yes, but if peaceful protests have any real, tangible effects, they’ll declare martial law anyway. Somehow I doubt the orange felon is above lying and saying peaceful protests are riots.
Yes, the real deep state will deliberately place Proud Boy type militants to stir up crowds into a frenzy in order for Martial Law to be possible. They can then round anyone up without any due process at all.
IMO, his cognitive decline is making him even meaner than he used to be.
But besides that, we the people HUMILIATED him in 2020.
This man is driven by the desire for revenge, you know?
That's stems from the same people that won't give water to a voter in line.
What does this cost us to help? A couple of $3m weekend golf runs to Mar-a-lago?
This is not who we are.
There are so many outrageous actions by this administration that it is hard to keep up with it all! There is such utter disregard for people who are out there working as called to do, it is monstrous!
This is done just for the cruelty of the act. Any normal administration would be sending support for a natural disaster cost cutting be dammed.And it would be more that 3 fucking people. This is just fucked up and we need to get our resistance act together. Starting Tomorrow “HANDS OFF” Krasnov !
This is Disgusting of our government not to help in disasters. What's WRONG with these people!!! Let's see who will come to our rescue in a disaster! Mehdi where can I find your podcast. I miss seeing you!
This is a part of the plan for Project 2025. Dismantle the government, destabilize the economy, and give the president unchecked power. Destroy democracy from within.
What can those of us who are under reTHUGliCONs on local, state as well as federal level? They ignore everything under ordinary circumstances. 😞🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤮😭
You are all spectacular✨️

Nope. It’s deliberate. I believe there is a plan to divide the world into 3 empires. The HF will get North America and use South America as a gulag. Putin will get Europe and the Arctic. The CCP will get Asia, South East Asia & Oceania.
Removing Trump is all well and good, BUT that will not remove the evil seed. Junkyard Dog will just replace him.😬 The lot of them must be pulled out root & stem! 😭
Yet another example of how rotten the Trump regime is. Our federal workers deserve our praise. Those brave souls risking their lives to help during disasters...on our behalf are fired? Depose the king, resist.
No way this will be undone. He's wrecked a world order produced by a unique combination of events and personalities that won't be replicated. We will never be the hegemon again. We're just another fragile democracy lacking a foundation coherent or reliable enough to ground the coming new world order
Trump has alienated our allies, who will never again trust us. He has started a trade war with the entire world. Even our enemies will no longer take us at our word after he's gone, out of fear that we might elect another Trump.
To those saying nobody will ever trust America again, look at it this way: similar sentiment persisted with Germany post WWII. It took time, regime changes, and even more time and they eventually repaired some of that damage. We can rebuild but it will take time.
And yet Germany still has to deal with ensuring they don't have even the appearance of backsliding. Just look at their right wing and the responses to it.
I read exactly this, I don't recall which leader said it but that basically they gave us a pass the first time, thought America was just trying something out, but this time, they can't trust us not to do it again (and again).
And it's only been two and a half months. There's still forty-five and a half more to go.
I feel like I'm treading water in a sea of sewage. That's on fire. And there are sharks. (But no boat batteries)
Several tornadoes touched down all over Ky. As soon as the severity of the storm was predicted, our Governor Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency. MAGAts were on Social Media dragging him for “wanting federal dollars”! I thought, he’s trying to be first in line to help these bastards! 🤬🤬🤬
Well, there it is in black and white. How UScitizens are not storming government buildings is beyond me! Is this who the American people want to be?? Selfish, isolative and concerned only with pleasing stupid overload Trump and his minions. I hope the rest of the world never comes to our aid again.
The pain will come. The fascist 'revolution' will also eat its children.
Trump destroyed everything that the U.S. has built since WWII. I doubt that the U.S. Dollar will remain the main currency - maybe if the military would fulfil its oath to protect the constitution and force him out of office.
They would have to do it legally, a coup would just make it Burma/Myanmar. And then the coastal states would want to secede, no method in the constitution for that, so civil war? You’ve been there before, and came out OK-ish. Still plenty of chips on the shoulder from the last one.

You are supposed to stay at a Trump property when traveling. If there is no Trump property in the locale you are visiting, book a room in the nearest country, and then sleep outside. The important thing is to book a room. In a Trump property.
I hate to say it, but that appears to be the intent. Every move the felon's coup has made will result in people being abandoned because he's never cared about his base. All he cares about is the power and the wealth.
I don’t expect they’ll help the Americans who have been hit hard by recent storms either. Trump went golfing while tornadoes tore through the country. 🤷🏻♀️ It was mostly red states so, meh. Full disclosure, I live in a deep red state.
I know, I posted about that when the first tornadoes came through. And now the flooding. FEMA has been decimated by cuts. He is off golfing. It’s the only the weak will fail and I couldn’t care less attitude that really sucks and will affect people who voted for him and everyone else too!
Brilliant. Use history to teach those in power they are merely human. Even the Romans knew they were mortal as often an emperor had a slave whisper in his ear “Respice post te! Hominem te esse memento”
No, no they are extremely competent. They flood the zone by making so many egregiously stupid and illegal acts that no one can check them on all of them, then the ones that aren't pushed become new policy and they move on to the next crime. Stop excusing their evil with ignorance, it isn't true.

Indifference is more likely the answer.
Compare it to when you and I walk on a sidewalk and step on ants. We're not cruel.
We're indifferent.
I just don't think cruelty requiers a cruel purpose.
But words aren't precise, we all have slightly different interpretations, which is fine.
But people in power must be helt accountable if they're indifferent to the suffering they cause.
Damn.
They are all complicit and without moral compasses.

Outside the borders it’s starting to get a bit ‘Yankee go home’.
Boom.
If we do, we'll be seen to be the enemy.
I'm just noting.
Either they scare people so bad, that they fall in line, or they piss people off so bad, that they declare Mariial Law.
But besides that, we the people HUMILIATED him in 2020.

This is not who we are.
STOP electing republicans.
Not anymore.
Them: yes sir, we will do whatever we can to help
Trump admin: hey are you in Myanmar yet?
Them: yup just got here and are already assisting
Trump admin: ok good. You're fired. Also we're not being you back
We must stop Trump & Project 2025.
