President Donald Trump announced on Christmas that the U.S. has bombed “ISIS Terrorist Scum” in Nigeria.
Well merry Christmas to you too, I guess?
This is normal now. Christmas is about bombing scum, thanks giving is about retards or something.
I want my normal world back
No new wars, but plenty of “special military operations”.
In before Trump starts ranting about “the Nigers”. You know it’s only a matter of time…
I’m not even mad at the rotten orange, this is just mold.
Every single person who swore an oath to the CONSTITUTION, not a person, should present themselves for Captain’s Mast at the very least.
How fucking could you pull the trigger
THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR IS PEACE
THE RADICAL LEFT IS SLAVERY
FOX NEWS IS STRENTHHAIL BIG BROTHER
Ok Hitler guy
The book reference is “1984”
Killed 'em with kindness like I have never seen!
That’s an excellent user name as well, for what it’s worth.
Trump is a terrorist
What worries me is that these Boko Haram arses have kidnapped lots of children and young women over the years - I fear some could be killed in these strikes.

Another Epstein diversion.
And just like that, the name “Epstein” is forgotten by “The News.”
I’m just so grateful that all the previous presidents refused to do this and setup safeguards to ensure that Trump will be punished. \s \s \s
Previous presidents are only part of the equation.
The other part is having a society that isn’t stupid enough to elect a felon rapist pedophile insurrectionist.
The situation we find ourselves in is as much American’s fault as it is our politicians. Actually moreso, since those politicians are only there because of American’s decisions.
Morbid Elon fixed the election as he basically said he did.
It’s truly more complicated than that. The USA electoral system is weird worldwide, but more than weird, it’s antiquated and by design, by tradition, very prone to be manipulated, and this goes from the caucus system to the elections themselves.
It’s set up for the people to feel they are actually choosing leaders, but the reality is the political representation is only achieved for an increasingly narrow economical and ideological subset of the people. The American political class is very conservative, and it always breaks my heart that many Democrats feel offended when people from other countries, like me, point this out.
European countries have a variety of electoral systems, and to my knowledge right wing parties are gaining significant vote share in all of them. Is there a country whose electoral system you see as best helping them deal with populist reactionary figures?
I am currently a proponent of ranked choice voting - Australia is the country I know of with the most widespread use example. They aren’t magically utopian, but it seems to be helping there. Always on the lookout to learn new things, though, so interested in pointers.
An people have done nothing to change it. That’s the point.
How old ARE the kids he fucks? 4? 5?
Put a blindfold on this mother fucker and tie him to a pole atop the Capitol Steps.
Draw and quarter
It should be mentioned that the Nigerian government says they requested the strike
“It’s Okay, we had permission to do this war crime.”
Did they? All I see is this:
In a since-deleted tweet, U.S. Africa Command First said the strike was conducted at Nigeria’s request and killed multiple ISIS fighters in what it called an effort to eliminate terrorist threats.

It’s not clear to me of that tweet was accurate or not, or if they were just saying they requested it
This is true, at least some officials of the Nigerian government have stated so.
The Nigerian government also confirmed the US attack on Friday. The Foreign Ministry stated that such operations were part of ongoing security cooperation with the US, which had led to “precision strikes on terrorist targets” in the northwest of the country
Every day I see a new headline and think, it’s almost like this guy is trying to instigate WWIII by any means necessary because he wants to kill us all.
You know how these fascists are obsessed with patriarchy and authoritarianism? Sometimes narcissists commit familicide before they off themselves.
Yardley, Wilson, and Lynes divide familicides into four groups: anomic, disappointed, self-righteous, and paranoid.
In this typology, the “anomic” killer sees his family purely as a status symbol; when his economic status collapses, he sees them as surplus to requirements. The “disappointed” killer seeks to punish the family for not living up to his ideals of family life. The “self-righteous” killer destroys the family to exact revenge upon the mother, in an act that he blames on her. Finally, the “paranoid” killer kills their family in what they imagine to be an attempt to protect them from something even worse.
I have Trump pegged as the anomic type. Possibly disappointed.
Yup. The NPD family annihilator Anthony Todt pulled the same stunt but he was too chicken to fuck himself so he ended up at trial for the murder of his wife, and his three kids.
But the kicker was his testimony during. It’s the most narcissistic display I’ve ever seen. He tried to pin it all on his wife and her, get this, “lyme disease”. I know, wtf, as if that causes you to go on a murder spree on your family.
He was literally caught red handed with their putrified corpses still in the house.
If dude wanted ww3, he would attack a fellow empire (russia, china, etc).
Instead he’s just another coward murdering the poorest people on earth.
Like any president.
Just fyi Nigeria has the 11th largest oil reserves in the worl.
There I was, 10,000 years ago, when Nigerian’s oil was stolen from the US by Nigerians. That oil is rightfully ours.
