You have got to be fucking kidding me.

I believe you. It just boggles my mind the out right lie in this.

Colin Powell couldn’t even pull that shit off.

.....Aaaaaand America is a base for Quatari attack jets to train for an early strike against Canada. See? I can make up a pretext to burn the fucking white house down again too.

[–] Nanook@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes training all those jihadist Aztecs

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Free Aztec death whistle for every converted infidel!

Quetzalcoatl Akbar!!!

And the US are a base of Iran ally Russia.

There was a Hamas base in those Venezuelan fishing boats

I thought we'd have learned from 2004. Jesus Christ.

I have some coworkers who were born in the early 2000s. They fall for the right propaganda so easily(because they're kids) and some of them don't even think 9/11 happened.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That bothers me as I watched the towers fall on television while I was in college. That wasnt something you could fake.

Guess it's time for bullshit manufacture to go full blast.

We all know where this goes. If I were a Venezuelan I would start packing my belongings.

The Empire hungers for souls to fuel itself and this time its eyes are set on you.

Fatboy Orange Rapist wants a war + Venezuela has oil = Kiddie Fiddling Scumbucket goes full Dubya and gets his 'war'.

[–] SW42@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They also have weapons of mass destruction and brown people. Also Democrats and Communists probably! This is unacceptable!

Smh…

I'm so tired of these sacks of shit

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I can let you all know that here in Uruguay, all the Iranian hezbollah is very busy trying to illegalise cannabis and ~~abortion.~~ (Oh wait, the Iranians have legal abortion, unlike texans)

The iranians are trying to help the trans people transition. Sometimes they suggest the cis gay people do it too, which makes it awkward.

EDIT : The irony is that the venezuelans down here are actually super right wing , working as barbers or pedidos ya (LATAM uber eats)

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lmao. No fucking way any of that shit is true about trans acceptance from Iranians, Pocahontas.

It is a facetious comment. The comment is intended to indicate the lack of motive Iranians would have in south america, and contrast the legal avenues that are available to Iranian trans people, which far from ideal, is probably more attuned to the existing system in Uruguay than the current US administrations attitude

It’s the post-MAGA internet. Add an /s or I assume you’re one of them.

🫡

yes sir. I'll get on that right away

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Okie dokie, Pocahontas.

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

With this administration, I just assume that means they're admitting to something like the Iran-Contra scandal

Based if true!
