Orange twat is turning THIS COUNTRY into a third world country…

Pick one.
Does he even know what words mean?
Both he and he’s loyalists think he defeated a hurricane with a sharpie. I’m not really sure we all exist in the same reality as they do.
Does he even know what words mean?
Some maybe, most probably not.
You can tell when he learns a new word because he’s like a first-grader and wants to tell everyone the “new” thing he just found out about.
Groceries, affordability, magnets … The list of basic concepts he’s learning at 79 is kind of shocking.
Tariff
Nah he still doesn’t understand what that one means
I kind of wonder if the shooting was planned when looking at the facts
- shooter background was an Afghan CIA operative
- shooter was vetted and given asylum by Trump administration in April 2025
- months ago Trump deployed National Guard to DC without justification citing “crime”, despite crime rates dropping
- a week ago, a judge ruled the National Guards deployment in DC was unlawful and he lacked authority or cause for it
- two days ago, operative shoots 2 guardsmen not far from white house and immediately surrenders
- Trump and Hegseth immediately respond saying not only are the national guards presence there legitimate and justified, but they are activating 500 more to head to DC
Curious.
Well said. I for one am all in in this being planned by the trump administration at some level
I’ve no doubt in my mind that this was entirely purposeful. Just like his “attempted assassination”. I’m fully convinced that that kid was promised a load of cash and had no idea he’d be taken out.

Don’t forget that less than 24 hours earlier there were the reports about potentially firing kash.
I am getting whiplash from how quickly this man contradicts his own statements
Anyone can say “permanently”.
Should be noted that his justification is a lunatic the CIA hired and then brought back from Afghanistan.
Should be noted this is a lunatic brought back from Afghanistan, who Trump threatened to vet refugees from before the attack. If returned back to Afghanistan now would likely be put to death. That adds a lot of fear into these people. And life and death level of fear is dangerous.
But we are a third world country… Last month there were churches all over the world raising money to help feed American children while our government was shut down and couldn’t help cover subsidies for food.
Make it make sense 🤡🌎
Third world means “brown people country” to him, that’s how it makes sense for them. Almost every question about why this administration does or says anything can be answered with “racism” or “pedofilia”.
“third world” is an outdated Cold War term that referred to countries that weren’t aligned with either the US or USSR.
It’s loosely bandied about these days to indicate an undeveloped country. Out of the developed countries, the US cares the least about its citizens. But anyone who thinks it isn’t a developed country hasn’t been to undeveloped one.
“decimate” is an outdated term that means to destroy one tenth of something.
Language changes over time. With the Cold War being over there was no longer a need for a term that referred to countries not involved in the Cold War, so the meaning changed to something useful
But anyone who thinks it isn’t a developed country…
And speaking of meaning, 3rd world does not mean underdeveloped. However, one of the criteria for a country to be considered “First World” is “having a stable democracy.” So whatever you want to classify the US as it sure as fuck isn’t a First World Country.
The US isn’t the best place to live but objective measurements of quality of life prove that it isn’t the worst. Saying it is is nothing more than childish hyperbole.
3rd world does not mean underdeveloped.
Yes, it does. You just said the term shifted to fit that new meaning. The US has a stable democracy, in case you haven’t noticed.
prove that it isn’t the worst. Saying it is is nothing more than childish hyperbole.
Who said that? I didn’t so I don’t know what you’re on about here.
Yes, it does.
For someone who just insisted Third World means nothing outside of the Cold War you are very certain (again) that you are exactly right about its meaning.
The US has a stable democracy
How many of its citizens believe election fraud happened or was attempted in the 2020 election? The 2024 election? How many believe there won’t be any attempts at election fraud in 2028? Citizens that do not trust their democratic process is evidence of that democracy not being stable.
How much has the current government ignored trade deals that they have signed? How much flip flopping has happened without warning in regards to tariffs? Have these changes happened through the proper channels from the appropriate branches of government?
How many stories have their been in the past couple months of the government taking actions that its own courts call rule as illegal, and the government continues to do it anyway defying court orders?
If you think all of this sounds “stable” maybe you shouldn’t be lecturing people on the definition of words.
As someone who was born and raised in an undeveloped country, and also has been to Europe, the US, Africa, Asia and all over Latin America. US ain’t all that.
I’m sorry, I meant an HONEST person.
A spicy mix of ad-hominem and no-true-scot in one.
Objective measures of quality of life exist regardless of your absolutely meaningless anecdotal evidence.
There’s a lot to criticize about the US without making stuff up.
Yup, glad someone else mentioned this. First world was allied with the USA. Second world was allied with the USSR. Third world wasn’t allied with either.
The reason “third world” became synonymous with “undeveloped” is because of why countries tended to be third world. Countries were largely third world because they weren’t developed enough to be notable allies to the USA or USSR. They didn’t have enough development to be able to contribute things like military tech or manpower outside of their own borders, or corruption was so rampant that the first and second worlds didn’t feel like they would be reliable.
As far as the USA and USSR were concerned, third world countries were only “useful” as land for staging proxy wars. But that meant “third world” quickly became associated with “undeveloped, corrupt, and war-torn.”
Oh, so its the Muslin Ban: Part 2
He should stop migration from every single Red Oblast in the USA, they’re all beyond 3rd World.
‘Permanently Pause’ seems like a oxymoron
nah, they’re a full moron
Yeah that would be ending it, stopping it, banning it. Permanently pause is weasel language that they like to complain about.
Does this whole scenario seem sus to anyone else? There was NOTHING about this on Wednesday and by the time I saw reporting on Thursday they’d already resolved thr situation, somehow captured the guy without killing him (he’s got the wrong skin colour to be captured alive), and spun the whole thing into their typical escalation of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Am I slow in hearing about this, or did they work with this formar governmental collaborator? Seems like a false flag?
Did you see the reports of his name being Google searched over 100 times in DC before the shooting?
No, do you have a link?
This writer of this analysis seems more responsible than the people using this to “prove” their conspiracy theory. He outlines several possible explanations.
Sadly everything that’s happening during this administration is highly questionable, even if it’s 100% legit it will always come with a shitload of questions.
that or manchurian candidate patsy
Lol, what the fuck? Literally nothing you said is hard to believe.
It’s not “hard to believe” per se, it’s just uncharacteristic for how law enforcement in this country tends to work. There are a lot of shootings here for data points, so it’d be interesting to see alive arrest rates for active shooters across all metrics/demographics.
It’s not “hard to believe” per se,
Then maybe we should hold of on pushing conspiracies as facts then.
it’s just uncharacteristic for how law enforcement in this country tends to work.
Not really. Several mass shooters have been taken alive, include the CO moviee theater psycho.
Who’s pushing facts? People are expressing doubt at the narrative pushed by an openly mendacious administration.
And what’s the percentage of non-white shooters captured alive? US law enforcement doesn’t expend much effort in bringing non-white suspects in warm. In fact, they seem to prefer it cold.
Who’s pushing facts?
Several people in this very thread.
People are expressing doubt at the narrative pushed by an openly mendacious administration.
People think that their rightful opposition to Trump makes it ok for them to lie. It’s unsubstantiated conspiracy and every bit as mendacious as the Trump administration.
And what’s the percentage of non-white shooters captured alive?
I don’t know, probably depends on the police force involved and conditions like whether or not the shooter was still holding the gun and such. This can’t possibly be basis to purport that this was some false flag. There’re just way too many other more reasonable possibilities. What purpose would that even serve?
US law enforcement doesn’t expend much effort in bringing non-white suspects in warm. In fact, they seem to prefer it cold.
I have plenty of criticisms of US police using excessive or unnecessary deadly force and I think there should be a much higher level of accountability. That said, the fact remains, most criminals are taken alive.
Because the US is a third world country?
So how does that work since he’s turned the US into a third world country?
Nobody in or out. North Korea style.
They’re certainly trying to trap all trans people inside for some reason. I say this as a trans citizen who fled and is still getting fucked over by their passport policies.
for the same reason the Jews had a hard time fleeing Germany.
All that being said I’m very happy for you that you were able to get out. Good luck I’m hoping the best for you.
How are they trying to trap transpeople inside?
They won’t renew passports with “incorrect” genders but also won’t process passports with a gender marker change, and are actively looking into revoking our passports. They already stopped recognizing passports with an X marker, for those who have them.
They’ve been hitting lots of legal stumbling blocks but are persistent if nothing else
I live in a poor war-torn country. We don’t have many immigrants but those immigrants who still come to us (our education is miraculously still not destroyed by our esteemed masters) are behaving nice. The “secret” is obvious: let students, engineers, etc in and keep bandits out.
But they can’t add skin colour requirements yet, hence - no immigration for all.
Does he even have that power? I feel that’s a very important question that no one is asking.
Who is going to stop him? Congress aint doing shit. Maybe the courts will rule against them but who is going to enforce the ruling?
The people. Time to rise up, no?
Sure. How exactly do you propose to “rise up”?
There are lots of ways. Here is one set of suggestions: https://newrepublic.com/article/193193/fighting-back-citizen-guide-resistance
What does any of that have to do with the issues in question? How does suing help when he ignores the courts? How does pestering your congressperson help if they don’t, or can’t, do anything?
This kind of “Just rise up!” thinking downplays the very real hurdles to effective mass organization. We need specific, scheduled actions with points of contact and well-defined scopes.
Can’t, got work on Monday
Per all his bullshit. He can get a little done until the courts stop him, then endless legal battles. He has no real policy and it all can be erased by the next admin.
Then he can keep doing it even if the court blocks it because “defies court order” is the most common phrase proceeding “Trump DOJ”.
In the same way that I can resume making a desk that i began carving 3 years ago, after running my wood chipper continuously for the last 3 years, destroying all of my lumber. It’s not just building the table, it’s finding new sources for materials, motivation, resetting tools, remembering plans. He’s loaded president 48 with labors. None of them Herculean but all of them frustrating and time consuming.
It’s a question that doesn’t matter, since he doesn’t give a shit and nobody is stopping him.
That doesn’t make the question any less important, it just makes the rest of us all the worst for ignoring it
And that is why he gets away with it
It does matter and soon it will matter a lot 👌
I hope so. Dude needs to go.
Uh what?
