Pete is actually the only man on Earth whose BAC and IQ are basically the same number.

I hate this sentence so godamn much.

I knew he was incompetent and bad. But god damn, the more you read the worse it gets, you think: how much worse could it get? And then the article gently tells you: oh we're not done...

But it also highlights the problem is far bigger than just Trump. As their Congress swore him in, after a 50-50 vote that was resolved by the VP.

Are you saying it was a bad idea to give this much power and responsibility to a drunk weekend host from Faux "News"?

He's like a teenager talking smack on call of duty.

The US's very own Wilhelm Keitel war criminal, but Keitel was at least a general.

Peter knows he's a fall guy for his lord and master when the war crimes court starts up, right?

"I didn't know what all Pete was doing- I never told him to do that."

No shit, the guy with literal white power prison gang tattoos over his body is a dangerous psychopath?? Holy shit, who could have seen it coming?!

This is a dumb dude who is drunk on the greatest power ever granted an individual in the history of this species. He kills every day. Hundreds, if not thousands of people. He has to be neutralized. How long is this going to keep going ?

These scum are caricature movie villains. Perfectly happy to sit in safety acting like badasses while dealing out suffering and death for others.

He is evil

I think they're using the term "person" a little too lightly here.

This headline formula "[emotional state] as [thing happening]" strikes me as stupider every time I see it. Use a fucking verb.

He's an angry drunk and a christian nationalist.

of course he's into the violence.

You mean to tell me the guy whose spiritual leader, Douglas Wilson, who delivered sermons sprinkled with military-themed jokes about putting Jesus Christ first, what Jesus can accomplish through believers, repealing women's rights, homosexuality should be a crime and that it's the job of Christians to exercise dominion over the whole world.... That guy is raising red flags now? Crusades in the middle east will continue until morale improves I guess.

Psychopaths gonna psycho.

Well he tried to be a soldier, maybe now is the time to help that dream come true.

Racking up the war crimes.

hes a nazi, he always had a hardon for this.

No fucking shit?

3 countries driven by religious extremism. What could get wrong? I had thought that this type of thing was well behind us. Seems history has to repeat.

I am become derp, destroyer of worlds.

Renaming the DoD to the DoW should have been the first of many clues. The tattoos as well. Him and Trump are getting a hard on from the possibility of dropping a nuke in the middle east.

What a sentence .. "the best people"

this has always been amerikkka

never make amerikkka again

Gee - who would've thought that putting a drunk, ignorant, racist asshole with the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old in charge of the military was a bad idea?

On a related note, hardly a day goes by without me being pleased and relieved that I decided long ago that I didn't want children. I can't imagine being responsible for bringing a child into this shithole country.

Kinda just nice to look at international publications and see that, yes, you're not crazy despite the gaslighting and we really did put an inept, stupid, and drunken TV show host in charge of actual wars.

You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

Well, he's definitely not a mama's boy.
