But then you’d have to buy a third gun to protect you from the second one

What everyone glosses over and completely never see.

Is that this idiot represents the entire country.

If you have an idiot for a leader.

Logic says, your country is full of idiots.

I know humans who built daughters … and even sons… without love

If only they voted like they booed

… or even worse than that, suggesting that what they are doing is not wrong but that they would be punished for their actions if someone else came into power that didn’t support them.

STAR TREK!!

I remember someone describing the US once as a third world country under a first world trench coat.

US is sounding more like a developing country with authoritarian government all the time

I think Americans are just reviewing 90s and 2000s disaster movies and using them as a guide.

Someone like Trump doesn’t surprise me … there are many people in the world that are this dumb and obnoxious. They’re everywhere … he isn’t special.

What gets me is that America literally paved the way for him to gain the highest office in their country and the population still sits around complaining about it while doing as little or nothing about it all.

lol

Let’s allow wealthy patrons to pay our soldiers … what could go wrong?

Especially when the first season episodes open up with a story arc involving nationalism, immigration and xenophobia.

Press corps? … don’t you mean military propaganda division.

It’s been a year later and just discovered this … great read and great find! Thanks for sharing

Classic one I’ll always think of when it comes to this orange turd … they should make that into a statue for everyone to remember

My favourite thing about this is that … he’ll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).

Think about it … JFK had famous speeches and lines like ‘We choose to go to the moon’ … Eisenhower is thought of to his line ‘the Military Industrial complex’ … Roosevelt for his ‘Day of infamy’ speech … even Reagan is remembered for his ‘Tear down this wall’ speech

Trump? … he’ll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.

… and it isn’t just representative of Trump … no matter how the country feels about it … his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.

It’s out of historical order tho

it was confederates first … confederate veterans who built the KKK … then nazis … then MAGA

I enjoy Roman memes and in a lot of the history communities, I learn lots from others … but the greatest thing I’ve ever learned from Roman history is that their legacy is a lesson to all of us of what NOT TO DO to run a civilization because if you did, it only leads to inequality, instability, that it is unsustainable and that it all eventually collapses. They were a great people but they were great because their excess was built on the subjugation of nations and enslaving entire people in order to get what they wanted. They could only succeed if they kept abusing everyone else and eventually themselves.

Their system grew and expanded when it benefited many people … but it collapsed and failed when all that power concentrated itself into ever smaller groups of people.

Roman history is a warning … it’s not something we should try to repeat like we are now.

Whole groups of men dressed in skirts that only want to spend time with other men in skirts?
