Asked whether a potential meeting would take place in the US or in a different place, Trump replied, “I don’t know. I haven’t really heard too much about it.” He continued, “I didn’t suggest it [a meeting], but some people have suggested it.”
“If it happened, it would be happening. I’d be respectful.” White House correspondent Peter Doocy, co-anchor of The Sunday Briefing for Fox News, then asked the president, “Do you think because Epic Fury killed his dad and his wife and his kid that he has hard feelings?”
Trump said, “Well, I would say I’m not his favorite person, but with that being said, he’s probably a professional. In some circles he has a very good reputation, actually.”
Do it! He should go right now and meet him.
No no… Let him cook…
It would be really awful if Trump got shived in the throat by the Ayatollah. Truly tragic. Personally I’d be beside myself.
some people have suggested it
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Whenever a person tells me “well someone said”, the first thing I ask is “who?”… “well some people”…”give me a name”. Because half the time they’re making that shit up, and can’t support it.
I do that at work quite often, especially when a colleague or report says they have a blocker or can’t do something because “well they said”… “who is they? I’ll go talk to them. “
Go for it brother! Make sure you go alone so that they recognize your strength
Be careful what you wish for. MAGA will be taxing the country to ruin to pay Trump’s ransom, a la Richard the Lionheart.
He’s not worth the toilet paper I wipe my ass with
That’s not really the issue here.
I support his decision to get himself killed
Yes sir Mr President, jump on the plane to Iran and go talk it out!
“For security reasons, you’ll have to jump out of this plane without a parachute. This squirrel suit will work perfectly as long as you’re the height and weight you say you are.”
“If it happened it would be happening”
He should totally go to Iran for this meeting.
Lost his fucking mind.
“If it happened, it would be happening.”
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what all of America has decided best represents their values and identity. Act accordingly.
All of America, lol.
Correct.
It’s far, far, far past the point that all the “we didn’t vote for Trump” Americans take on some responsibility for this mess.
Your (overall) complacency is collectively your fault now. You have a babbling pedophile as a president who is actively destroying the world as we know it, and the best you can do is scoff at the suggestion you bear any responsibility for this.
How very American.
How very Canadian to think your shit doesn’t stink.
On the contrary, that’s just how an American who felt uneasy about their personal efforts would react to this.
To my recollection the leader of my country is not a literal con man, pedophile and blithering idiot but sure, bang your fists like a typical American and see how much it helps.
Wrong.
Uhhh there’s a lot there, are you just saying it’s all wrong? Do you want to share with the class?
Fuck off and learn how democracies work
Oh I’m sorry, is your working democracy in the room with us right now?
You want to try to make explain how that connects to blaming everyone including the ones who voted against this, or are your mental gymnastics not that good?
I’m working as hard as I can to undermine him, but I’m a disabled photographer five thousand kilometers away. What, exactly, am I supposed to do to fix this, that I’m not already doing? I’m too weak to use a gun, I’m shit at rallying forces, and besides, America is far too distributed to amass people at a single point. Even if I did somehow summon up the motor skills to outwit the Secret Service and be the best assassin in the world, I’d have to be okay with losing my wife and my friends, as I’m executed basically on the spot. I can’t lose that. Trump will die before I do, and it will likely be by his own ragged mind.
America is far too distributed to amass people at a single point.
Goddamm I need to get this phrase hotkeyed on my keyboard with how often I need to say it to people online who don’t know how spread out the US is.
Our 5 largest cities have a nighttime pop of 1:20 of the total population. In Germany that figure is over 1:10 and in France and UK it’s more like 1:5.
The largest city in the US is NYC with a nighttime population of 2.5% of the total US population, that same figure for France is 3.1%, in Germany, almost 1:20 Germans live in Berlin alone and in the UK 135:1,000 live in just London.
The US has a very small urban population for its size. This isn’t to mention that the two largest cities are separated by a 2,000 mile desert and border two different oceans. The only way to congregate most Americans is through the Herculean task of mobilizing the suburbs, which has had some success (No Kings Day is the largest nonviolent protest in history), but is still much harder than rallying in more urbanocentric European countries.
I suspect that the relatively small size of European nations has made it much easier for them to have coherent protestors. The politicians have to be in physical proximity to their constituents, which puts their skin on the line if people snap. Getting enough angry people to surround bad leaders is a key ingredient to a healthy democracy.
This is a common circle for people like us to run around in.
Yes, there are many individuals who are doing a lot, punching far above their weight class.
My point is when I boycott American products, advocate for the US to be punished politically and economically, when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that “America is the enemy”, that necessitates putting YOU in the crosshairs of my actions.
Do I love that? No, we’re on the same team. Is that going to stop me? Absolutely not.
The best analogy I can think of is sports. I’m gonna hate your hockey team because they’re our rival, they play dirty on the ice, etc. One of your players might feed the hungry and use their money to build orphanages, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’ll be cheering for your team to fail.
Maybe there’s nothing else you can possibly do. Truly. Life’s not fair. But you and I both know that the average American citizen is doing basically nothing. That’s the “person” I’m talking to when I post things like this. I can’t individually judge 350 million people, so I have to address your average. Your average sucks.
when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that “America is the enemy”, that necessitates putting YOU in the crosshairs of my actions.
versus
when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that “Iran is the enemy”, that necessitates putting SCHOOLCHILDREN in the crosshairs of my actions.
Notice the difference? Me neither.
How fucking stupid does one have to be to equate boycotting US brands and launching a fucking tomahawk missile at an elementary school. Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
I am prepared to die in this country.
I do not deserve to die in this country, I don’t choose to live here.
But because I am transgender, my federal government explicitly wants me dead.
And the populations of other countries do not care for my survival, because I was born on an overseas American military base, and then brought here as a child, means I am a citizen of this evil empire.
And I understand that even though I myself am not evil, I am a member of an evil empire, and my government and large portions of the outside world want me injured or dead in some way.
But I am scrappy and I have a heart full of love and beauty.
And I outlived Charlie Kirk.
I’m working as hard as I can to undermine him.
Then you good.
Each according to thier ability.
The thing that drives the world nuts is when people in the US are like “not my responsibility”.
Crazy, considering the person who spurred on this whole thread was blanket assuming that everyone in the country is allowing this to happen.
How’d you manage to miss that and then write this comment?
We’re different people and I was offering another more understanding voice to the mix.
What do you want? Me to do the sign of the cross and give a blanket absolution to all Americans on behalf of the rest of the world?
“Go, my children, your country may ravage the world I absolve you”. In the name of the father the son nato UN and all humanity. I offer this to all citizens of the USA, Russia, and Israel as they decimate civilians in illegal wars. Would be kinda shitty of me to not hand it out to them too, right? I mean… what can they do about it? Not really THIER problem, right? We’re all being a little judgemental by suggesting Russia get out of Ukraine or Israel out of Gaza, right? Let em in eurovision. Let em in the Olympics.
Not sure who I am to give it but if im giving that cool guy a break, I may as well give you one too, despite you being a total cunt. Not sure why you care (REALLY wish you’d introspect on that though, is it possible the uncomfort that makes you wanna lash out is that you know at some level you, as an american, are uniquely positioned to save the world like hollywood told you your whole life was your birthright, and instead you’re on the internet mad at foreigners pointing out your country is mudering civilians? That discord must be HARD).
Haven’t you heard? You have to say “I’m working as hard as I can to undermine him” in every thread you participate in, or else you’re complicit with fascism. Those are the magic words. If you say them, you good (at least until the next conversation).
You might as well add it to your email signature just in case, so you won’t be a target during “the revolution,” as these people insist is actually going to happen.
In case you need it: /s
Yeah! I mean, not ALL men, right ladies?
Where are you from?
You should meet him, face to face, do it in Iran
Didn’t Obama go to Iran? Or some country in that area?
Did Obama kill their leader’s predecessor, wife, dad, and son?
I dont know but Trump definitely should with as little as much of his entourage as possible.
“Show up with only a small security detail, because it projects strength! You wouldn’t want them thinking you’re scared, would you? Cause that’s what they would think if you bring too much security. It shows weakness!”
You always get a glimpse of his true personality that shows he’s actually medically insane, like diagnosable as not understanding emotions in others, not having a correct theory of mind in others. All he can consider is what’s in it for him. He’d look beyond someone killing his loved ones (loved used very loosely here) if the killer had a great “deal” for him that enriched him enough or gave him enough power or favors.
He is the final boss of NPD and a lifetime of never having ever been held accountable.
Hell, he probably paid the person who killed his first wife…
Let’s be honest… he definitely never actually paid
Okay, well the point is that he made a deal with the killer. Whether he followed through on his end of the bargain is beside the point…
I thought contract killers are normally paid in advance? I wouldn’t know since I’ve never needed those services.
Half in advance, half when it’s done. Those are the standard terms.
Killer doesn’t want to get ripped off by a buyer stiffing him on payment. But the buyer also doesn’t want to get ripped off by a killer who just takes the money and disappears with it (without doing the job). Since, obviously, you can’t have proper legal contracts and escrow for this kind of shit, half-and-half is the best available compromise. Each party still might get ripped off, but at least they’d only be missing out on half.
This is for independent contractors, of course. If you’re working within an organized crime situation where other contract enforcement options are available, the terms could be different. And things will likely also be much different if the buyer and killer already have an established working relationship and trust.
And ‘standard’ doesn’t mean ‘mandatory’. Each individual contract can of course be negotiated on its own terms. Maybe the killer has an excellent and well-proven reputation of getting the job done, which makes the buyer willing to pay more or all of it in advance. Maybe the buyer is offering so much above market price that the killer is willing to take the risk on non-payment because the possible payout is so high. Etc.
How do you know all of this?
My source is that I made it up.
FBI: 🤨📸
Why would they care? He didn’t say Trump, Epstein or Maxwell once.
