At least he is a honest scum. The united snakes never cared about war crimes and terrorism they caused

[–] python@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Don't bring snakes into this man

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The united snakes refer to the usa. Some symbolic meaning of snake is deceit, danger, and cunning. It fit perfectly .

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 hours ago

I also don't give a shit what people think.

It is a war crime. Nothing to debate about

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Americans talk like they didn't create the opioid crisis in the first place, profit from it, disavow it and in the process generate a mountain of homelessness. The idea that foreign gangs are arriving on their shores and corrupting the good and honest white folk of America is truly hilarious. Americans love drugs and their society is the perfect shithole to sell painkillers.

I never thought anyone would read Clear and Present Danger and think "gee, that seems like a pretty good idea!"

Aw, who am I kidding. None of these chucklefucks read.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They read, they just lose interest in anything longer than a tweet.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

hey we don't...

what was the first thing they said?

Cool, our employee doesn’t care how we feel.

Fire him. Out of a cannon. Towards a sewage pit.

For a politician to openly say he doesn't give a shit is a very dangerous sign.

An elected official speaking like this to the public means they’ve completely lost their fear of repercussions. They’ve lost their fear of public backlash, of public perception. They’ve lost their fear of being voted out.

It means that in his mind there’s nothing to fear. He thinks he’s untouchable. He’s above you and everything you think and do. He’s your ruler and you’re his subject.

It means he's no longer afraid of you having a democracy.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

The opposite. Now, people can't pretend to not know about scummy politicians

Old hillbilly ugly always call Peter Thiel first so he knows what to say.

impeach them all

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

He needs impeaching first.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Well I don't give a shit if he gets Luigi'd

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago

I never did, even before he jumped on the coattails of the obese orange paedo.

On the positive side, his appearance and meandering uselessness did give us quite a few memes and laughs on the way.

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 7 points 12 hours ago

I don’t give a shit if the couch sues him for child support.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

After what Russia's done in the last 10 years without any real consequences, nobody gives a shit anymore.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Well, that and Israel committing genocide.

Edit: wait @vga@sopuli.xyz do you seriously still deny the genocide in Gaza?

To him any south American is a cartel member anyway.

I wouldn't call it a war crime because there's no war in which the crime was committed. It's just plain state sponsored murder.

When Mohammed bin Salman ordered the death of Jamal Khashoggi, I didn't think of that as a war crime, either. Just a simple case of state sponsored murder.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 30 points 19 hours ago

You don't need an official war to commit war crimes. The US hasn't declared war since WWII, but I don't think anyone would say the My Lai massacre wasn't a war crime.

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 98 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Then, if some other country targets him it's fair, right?

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 65 points 23 hours ago

You might say "I don't give a shit" if they do.

Just a thought.

He is the average US Catholic in my opinion, and I went to 12 years of Catholic school so I've been around the block. The only part of the Gospel that they follow is being anti-choice. Oh wait that's not in their bible? (Sorry I was disillusioned by this religion at a very early age)

[–] ALLGLORYTOHYPNOTOAD@lemmy.world 25 points 21 hours ago

The majority of religious people just use it as a badge to make them feel like they’re good people when they’re clearly pieces of shit incapable of empathy. It’s just a front to hide behind.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 26 points 22 hours ago

Former Roman Catholic here ...100 percent agree. None of them followed a word of Scripture

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It's wild how judgy a lot of Catholics seem to be when the bible is pretty specific about God being the one who judges. His only mouthpiece on earth is the Pope so they should really be listening to that guy and focusing a lot more on not being a cunt as per the rest of the new testament.

The only real accomplishment he'll get is non-US-controlled war crime trials for US military personell. Perhaps even politicians.

According to the Geneva conventions (which the US is a party to), the prospective war criminal's state basically gets first dibs to prosecute their own war criminals. What this means is they can be game the system and be incredibly lenient - they just need to keep the appearance of impartiality.

A real alternative is another party stepping up. Historically that was the other side of the war, but today most likely an international org.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 25 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Not that it would justify it but is there any evidence whatsoever that these people were cartel members?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

Because Trump said so. That's the only reason. Just like the "crime waves" in LA, DC and Chicago.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 20 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

The world will likely never know for a few years. Just like those innocent North Korean fishermen wiped off the face of this planet because they used flashlights to see.

Vance would give a shit, when he is escorted to hang out at a gas station.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

I think it is pretty clear he has no power, and is not actually involved in "doing" anything. He is just the mannequin saying whatever it is they want him to say.

Vice president doesnt give a shit about anything but himself

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 16 hours ago

He doesn't even care about the couches. A La-Z-Boy floor model told me he's a very selfish lover.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 20 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Trump is going to die of natural causes. I feel like this guy might have a future with a noose

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 39 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (4 children)

I keep saying this and people don’t want to listen. These idiots believe in the rapture, and they think all these things happening are the prelude to that.

I am not kidding, they’re serious about this. Who cares what real world events are happening, they’re sure the Israel situation is happening because Jesus is going to come back any day, and they’re happy to kill us all because it’s worth it.

Nothing new for the conservatives; this is just another one of their public figures now saying what they have been saying for decade upon decade behind closed doors.

This is exactly what the conservative movement is about. Rules? Those don't apply to US!

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 29 points 23 hours ago

These Nazis need to learn the meaning of due process, like those other Nazis. Enjoy your time of freedom couch fucker. No couches in prison.
