We are the laughingstock of the entire world

#ExtremeShameFatigue

He's trying to keep the plebes distracted with bread and circuses



A few replies...

Instead of unifying America for its 250th birthday, Trump's turning the White House into a blood-soaked circus tent, because nothing says "patriotism" like cage fights on the South Lawn while democracy bleeds out.

Everything Trump does is a sideshow theatre spin. This isn’t governing. It’s shameless self promotion. It’s never about Americans. It’s only ever about Trump brand nonsense.

The world is disappointed in us. They aren’t really laughing. I travel, just returned from overseas. They are sad, disappointed and want us to get our shit together. There is a lot to talk about this.

Can you imagine this monstrosity in front of the Élysée Palace, Buckingham Palace, Berlin Palace, the Royal Palace of Madrid?

The White House has Officially become a Freak Show.

1. The US used to be fiercely proud of its values, freedom, democracy, doing the right thing.

A nation of laws, good character, fighting for right.

Now we are changing into Trump's personality.
Insane, hate filled, angry, revengeful, corrupt and greedy.

We are laughed at, pitied, and disrespected.
For good reason.

4. Trump's and Cheung's attempt to suck up to Dana White's UFC crowd and get the manosphere vote.

Trump is just white trash with money (technically orange trash).

because they've laughed at us for years and we've laughed right back.

These days, they pity us.

7. Anybody who is still laughing isn't paying attention. A fascist takeover of the US isn't funny in the least.

What the asshole fans love abut this sport is, when the the loser is knocked the fuck out by the near-bare knuckled winner, the winner then keeps pounding the the unconcious loser in the temples, and gives him instant CTE and brain damage to suffer the rest of his life. Assholes watching an asshole sport from mommies basement.

the instant demolition of the Predator Patio, the concrete cover of the Rose Garden, the flagpoles, that tennis pavilion in the backyard, and level the dance hall or turn it into the White House Black History Museum.

16. We're living in a Freak Parade

I never was bothered by bad dreams
They never made me afraid
But then I never did dream I'd wake up
And find me in the freak parade

I guess, I had to find out the hard way
I shouldn't have been so proud
'Cause here I'm the main attraction
Of every giggle in the crowd

So I gotta take my place in the freak parade
See my face in the freak parade
Get of the sidewalk!

In a world full of freaks
You can creep, you can crawl
But the world's biggest freak
Is the one with no balls

You know you shouldn't poke fun at strangers
Or pity their case at all
'Cause there are lots of friends and lovers
That take it kind of personal

You might appreciate our position
Don't laugh at our freaky ways
You might find yourself tomorrow
Marching in the freak parade

You better
Take your place in the freak parade
See your face in the freak parade
Get of the sidewalk!

In a world full of freaks
You can creep, you can crawl
But the world's biggest freak
Is the one with no balls

Our nation selected this future by not getting off our duffs and voting against everything evidence told us about this bunch.
