    I'm not sure if I have the words to phrase how I feel about it because it's so utterly disgusting. The maniac mango and his cronies are trampling over human rights and they're fucking proud of it. I really hope civil unrest will crash in before the US turns into a full-blown oligarchy-run fascist dictatorship. And I don't think that that's a hyperbolic statement to make.

      And on top of that, it’s for absolutely blatant self enriching corruption. What the fuck is wrong with the United States.

      A friend of mine unironically called them barbarians. Their cruelty is intentional and they revel in it.

        Honestly, I’d even argue it’s true of the people who continue to support him. They’re mean spirited people with a sense of entitlement. I can still remember being a kid and hearing a conservative relative say we should “just glass the whole thing” referring to the Middle East, circa 2002 or so. No one even really argued, just kind of said “yep”.

        They have always been this way, it’s just more visible now.

          I have heard that as recently as two weeks ago. It didn't die 20 years ago.

      Sorry to say you're running very low on time. In two weeks, a path to American citizenship will be for sale to the very wealthy with Trump's new replacement for EB-5 visas: the Trump Gold Card.

        Isn’t that completely normal for many countries? We even had a visa like that already. It’s got a new trashy Trump name though.

          To be fair, the details on the visa haven't been explained yet, but on the surface it appears that they're raising the bar from ~1 million dollars invested into areas that could really use an infusion of money to simply allowing the even wealthier to buy a golden ticket from the government.

          It looks like it's going to remove potential investment from areas sorely in need of it in favor of inviting additional oligarchs into the country for a fee paid to the government. It just gives me an icky feeling that they're aiming to actively build up a citizenship of oligarchs elites to rule over the masses.

          Edit: Perhaps better phrasology, given the good point @teaearlgraycold makes below.

            Oligarch-level wealth means you operate outside of the law. These visas are probably for only moderately rich people that want to move to Florida or California as permanent residents.

      I have no words either. This is one of those times where Trump and his actions have truly baffled me.

    First I saw of this video was on /r/noncredibledefense. And, well, I anti-ate the onion I suppose. I thought for sure it was satire, fabricated completely by the resident shitposters.

    That is a new feeling. I knew before what eating the onion feels like. Now I've also vomited the onion...?

    Breaking news: In a stunning DEI about-face, President Trump has endorsed the most explicitly progressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming proposal ever released by the U.S. federal government. Critics slammed the video, which prominently celebrates bearded genderqueer dancers, as “radical woke degeneracy” and demanded his immediate resignation. But Mr. Trump stood by the proposal, declaring it to be “probably the most beautiful vision for the Middle East anyone’s ever imagined.”
