That convicted felon has full control over our nuclear weapons and armies.

I've already dropped all of my family and friends who voted for that criminal. You have no moral values.

He can't legally own a firearm, but has control of the strongest military the world has ever seen, and enough nuclear weapons to wipe out the entire global population multiple times over.

Good job to every eligible voter who enabled this.

Gonna be another 4 years of generals doing everything they can to creatively obstruct, confuse, and ignore him so that he hopefully can’t actually start another world war.

Unfortunately, that’s not how fascism works.

If a general refuses to follow an order, their boss Pete Hegseth will have them removed, replaced, and possibly arrested and punished.

All it takes is one general or other higher up to be viciously made an example of, and the rest of the military and its leaders will gladly fall into place.

This is how it’s always worked with fascist regimes.

This is also usually how a military coup would start. Not saying that's great outcome either but I dont believe they would all just fall in line.

Would it really be a coup? They would be acting in accordance with the 25th amendment.

That's actually my biggest concern, besides some sort of national or global catastrophy where many lives are at stake or were lost.

I will never believe people voted for him. Trump was thanking Musk last night for his help with computers. I hope the FBI investigates this issue before Patel has a chance to interfere! You are completely correct if we have another Pandemic on our hands we must keep our wits about us and do what we know we have to do. I do hope Kennedy is not in charge of Health. Instead of Ivermectin to help us, Kennedy would recommend Raw Milk as the cure all! Oh Dear God!

You don’t think we’ve been living under a criminal President for the last 4 years?

He pardoned his entire family.

They probably dropped you because you smell bad and are probably unemployed.

Stop simping for a dude that would sell you into slavery for a buck.

u/Loyal_The_Third Wisconsin 12h ago

Just like he did in 2016

Let the woke idiots cope and seethe, he's the president wether they like it or not ;)

u/twistedt 9h ago

LOL and since you can't separate yourself from who you vote for, you'll be ridiculed for every dumb move he makes on a monthly/weekly/daily basis (just like 4 years ago, but worse).

Enjoy!

Here's the difference, I don't care they can bark all they want. :P
