    Stop paying attention to the stupid shit they’re saying to distract from the evil shit they’re gonna be doing.

      I’m not going to be paying attention to any of it. Fascism 101. But the fascist scum have apparently “won” so here we are.

      America is a write-off. Let the filth destroy it.

        Cool, then don’t.

        Why hang around and tell people to stop caring?

        If you want to stop caring, just do it. But that’s clearly not what’s happening.

          I was merely pointing out that flooding the citizens with insane bullshit is fascism 101 and that’s exactly what the tangerine toddler and his band of filthy fucking nazis will be doing 24/7 for the next (hopefully) 4 years.

          Nothing we can do about it except watch some Mario Brothers in the meantime.

            That is an opinion.

            And it’s fine if it’s yours, but why are you going around trying to convince people?

            If you’re right, it doesn’t matter. If you’re wrong, you’re helping trump.

            But in either case, just go watch your Mario Brothers, that’s what you said you wanted to do, so just go do it. No one is stopping you, you’re choosing not to right now.

    Why is he thinking so small? Why not rename the Pacific Ocean to American Ocean? China and Japan have seas and India has an Ocean.

    I’m only surprised he didn’t demand it be called the Gulf of Trump.

      You’re not wrong… especially since he feels the need to plaster his name on everything. But don’t give him ideas…

      On that note, can we collectively change “trump card” to being a bad thing?

      If you read literally the first sentence of the article you would not need to guess.
