We could start a new thread listing dozens (if not hundreds) of examples of him just straight up talking shit. None of it ever happens. This won't either.

Certainly different than 4 years of senile Biden hiding and being unable to properly read off of his teleprompter. Also different than DEI hire Kamala hiding for 3.5 years and then taking only friendly interviews until her internal polling showing she was done, and she got “risky” at the end.

People forget their history. Expansionism built this country, we’d be Lichtenstein without it.

At no point since 1776 would we ever have been on par with Lichtenstein as a comparable power.

I sense very little "America, Fuck Yeah!" Out of you today.

In 1946, under President Harry Truman’s administration, the U.S. made a formal offer to purchase Greenland from Denmark for $100 million in gold. Denmark declined.

No, thanks. "Fuck off, Truman".

Get ready for the "fuck off, trump". It's coming.

I can tell you would be very effective in diplomacy, tommy.

It’s disappointing you don’t sense that ~every~ day.

It's ham-handed satire to make the wrong point. Rob Schneider level comedy.

And, I agree. YOU should love this country passionately every day and I'm very disappointed in you. Touch some grass, watch some baseball, eat some apple pie and freedom fries. We've never not been great.

There is no grass. My field of dreams is cold concrete and I’m sick of that shit. If It’s below 40 I’m staying home, nestled in the mancave, shitposting.

Edit: I misread your previous post. Skimmed right over the “very little” part which changed the meaning completely.

Your pal tommy doesn't agree either. He thinks we're a "shithole country".

I also have the option to stay and point how pathetic this shithole country is becoming. Originally Posted by tommy156
