spoke to my grandfather the other day and he calls trump the white idi amin, said to me a lot similar traits and similar movement in the political scape


There's a lot to be said for the similarities between Trumpism and the atmosphere in Rwanda pre-genocide. Another four years is a spooky idea for sure... even without it idk if we've only delayed the inevitable tbh.

i know but he lived through it right, he saw the enablers, he saw how quickly people make wrong decisions out of fear. while i agree, trump is not at that level yet, the premise of consolidating power and deflection to alternative reality is a striking resemblance. he was lucky to get out but yeah, they dont forget.


Thankfully our Government has the Senate and the House, Adi Amin did not. Trump for the most part was kept in check by the real adults in the room.

Here is one of my favorites, our great cheetos-fuhrer leader showing how much of a stable genius he really is.....

Santara 100% served.


He acts like it's so inconceivable, but 1 in 14 American adults are veterans.

Is he beyond listening? Sounds like quite an interesting fella.


If you're very patient and really, really pay atention to phrasing, you might get something in his skull for a while.
Hard getting it to stick, even so.

He's not a bad dude. Just disillusioned and turning bitter with age.

We try to avoid discussing politics nowadays.

I disagree. It is decidedly more integrated than society at large. When your life depends on the people around you, it is utterly dangerous to surround yourself with people you cannot trust, and you cannot have that trust while being bigoted against your fellow shipmates/soldiers/airmen.
