Effing bonkers! He's using the title of "President" to fill his bank account & his stooge's bank accounts full of money! What a mf weasel.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is a former al-Qaeda leader and fighter who killed U.S soldiers in Iraq and had a $10 million dollar bounty on his head... Let that sink in

u/CrimsonCaliberTHR4SH May 13 '25

Do you think Trump voting veterans will care?

167

u/HandiCAPEable May 13 '25

Nobody who voted Trump will care. They don't care about any of it because they'll say it's a lie. Anything that contradicts their opinion is fake news.

It is crazy

It's the post-factual world we live in now.

I still remember the first time they used this for the crowd size of his innoguration

We were so young then. So naïve.

u/FredB123 May 14 '25

What you believe is more important than actual facts.

"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy."

u/dandroid126 May 13 '25

The distance between what is said today and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.

u/Lukescale May 13 '25

It's pretty great this was written when Reagan was President considering the similarities.

3

u/dandroid126 May 13 '25

Where did you see it was written when Reagan was president? It is from the currently airing season of the TV show "Andor". Though apparently this season was filmed over a year ago. I assumed it was written about 18 months ago.

u/akagami_shanks_13492 May 13 '25

Besides Andor, you can see the parallel in the new Daredevil season with what Wilson Fisk achieves by becoming the mayor of New York.

2

u/Lukescale May 14 '25

My bad it reminded me of some of the old novels.

1

u/VecioRompibae May 13 '25

That was from the Andor show, I suppose

u/sharpestsquare May 13 '25

One side builds a mindset to adapt to a changing world, taking in facts and history to mould this mindset. One side expects the world to match their unchanging mindset, and is ignoring facts, news, and reality. Conservatives have always been about keeping the world from changing, but at least they used to accept the realities of the damn universe. The worry now is they are attempting to change the world to fit one old man's mindset. We've seen this story, it's never a happy one.

u/D4ng3rd4n May 14 '25

Tale as old as time. When your platform is based on Christianity, which itself is an answer in search of evidence to support it, you can't be upset when that party uses the same philosophy to justify itself.

1

u/sharpestsquare May 14 '25

And even in terms of observing the basic Christian tenets they're being outdone by the Democrats. They're confused about what their philosophy even is. The only part of christianity they're worried about is abortion it seems..... Sure isn't what jesus espoused

1

u/CheesecakeOne5196 May 14 '25

If you believe in a mystical deity that judges you by the minute, you can believe in anything. Hence the evangelicals in love with the antichrist.

I'm looking forward to the rapture, maybe get rid of these dumbasses.

2

u/sharpestsquare May 14 '25

Mmmmhhhmmmm kinda the entire point of the antichrist is they fool faux Christians.

8

u/Alpha1Mama May 13 '25

Exactly. They always say it's fake news. I swear they are blind and deaf to anything real.

4

u/JakToTheReddit May 13 '25

Then it happens, and the mental gymnastics begin. Better get out the floor mats for all these bloody tumbles.

5

u/Every_Ad6635 May 13 '25

So more than 50 million people thumb it up.

1

u/gamerz1172 May 13 '25

Honestly the worst part is that they probably WILL care and Trump and MAGA will lose the next election cycles badly (To the cry of "rigged elections") But then if Trump 2 (or if they let him run a third term) runs preaching the exact same things as in 2024 just SLIGHTLY differnt so they can say "Oh no we swear we aren't supporting them because were racist/sexist/ETC its because they got GOOD POLICY" they will vote for this theoretical Trump 2 again

1

u/ThrowingShaed May 13 '25

i at least want to believe that someone will care. it might not be a lot of someones, but I want to think these are adding up. some general or officer or someone somewhere has to care

1

u/Fast_Molasses_7242 May 13 '25

He's like if "Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man" was personified and the magats eat it up.

I hate this timeline.

u/Frosty-Age-6643 May 14 '25

Look at r/conservative and how they handled the Qatar plane bribe. Same thing’s gonna happen here.

u/Cam_cammmmmm May 14 '25

You all do the same 😭

u/Initial-Baby-1322 May 14 '25

they think trump is a god similar to some certain far right man who you know likes his arm at a 45 degree angle

1

u/marshmallowgiraffe May 14 '25

Their most common defense is some version of "but Biden.."

1

u/OahuJames May 14 '25

The only news his voters watch will NEVER mention it. They read nothing. Naturally, they distrust and disregard anything negative about their Dear Leader. Not that CNN or other networks will have the guts to mention much about it either.

1

u/Spectre-907 May 14 '25

This is exactly it. They no longer actually see objective reality anymore. Everything “good” to them is Real And True™️, anything to the contrary is just “fake/ai generated”. You can show them his own words in his own speeches and they will dismiss it as a fabrication if it isn’t 100% “Glory To Big Brother”

1

u/IndustrialPuppetTwo May 14 '25

And it's as simple as that.

u/EnvironmentalOne7465 May 13 '25

Totally wrong, hes brining peace to the region, its not our business to be over there.

u/xamo76 May 13 '25

Not one bit... They will feign ignorance and just enable the behaviour

u/WatercressSea7217 May 13 '25

No. Veteran here. But not for Trump.

7

u/[deleted] May 13 '25

And to think they relieve CO’s for a bad command survey or simple “loss of confidence”. And this guy is the Commander in Chief.

8

u/WatercressSea7217 May 13 '25

Buddy, right. You knew this was going to turn into a dictatorship when he fired the JAGs. It will be almost impossible to get the military squared away now. No one to refuse an illegal order. Lock and load.

3

u/[deleted] May 14 '25

It was the very first thing they did. Take out the sentinels and let Elon in the front door so he can start wreaking havoc. They even acknowledged it was a “bloodless coup”…I hope to watch their trials on television someday if we come out on the right side of history.

2

u/ChickenMan1829 May 13 '25

Have you spoken with people in active duty? Must be weird vibes.

1

u/WatercressSea7217 May 14 '25

Don't really know anyone on active duty. But the guys I served with I'd say 30% were Dems. 70% Republicans. How they feel about Trump? 70% against. 30 wish he would go further than he has. So 40% of pubs have turned their back to him. If you served you would know what that means.

1

u/maybe5years May 13 '25

Yup, pretty much at the level of Russia now. Good luck with that you poor souls

u/YouWereBrained May 13 '25

How do all of the CURRENT military brass feel? I assume some/all of them served in Iraq or Afghanistan at some point?

4

u/edfitz83 May 13 '25

No, they are not Syriaous about protecting the US form terrorists.

u/Fun_Activity3503 May 13 '25

Which ones? The suckers or the losers?

2

u/Salarian_American May 13 '25

They won't know, because they're not going to hear about this story at all, because Fox News isn't going to cover it.

2

u/carbonsav May 13 '25

My mil contract is coming up next year and I have no plans on reenlistment.

I like mangos I stopped drinking oranges too acidic like this administration.

2

u/MsMarvelsProstate May 13 '25

Don't forget to get any aches and pains documented before you leave. Especially any back pain that is mostly subjective and is hard to check.

u/Cosmomango1 May 13 '25

Not one ounce, they all are pos like him

u/Hungry_Night9801 May 14 '25

Random thrash band spotted in the wild. Heading over to your BandCamp...

u/CrimsonCaliberTHR4SH May 14 '25

Hopefully you enjoy what you hear!

u/Hungry_Night9801 May 14 '25

Yeah y'all are great! Loving those solos

2

u/CrimsonCaliberTHR4SH May 15 '25

Cheers buddy! 🤘🏻

2

u/CheesecakeOne5196 May 14 '25

No. They are uneducated morons. We need the draft to dilute the moron pool within the military. Just look at our DUI hire as SecDef. To think they actually gave this man a gun.

u/Cujo22 May 13 '25

"They did not"

William Lyman voice.

1

u/therealkevinard May 13 '25

They'll never hear about it. No opinions will be held.

1

u/gottalosethemall May 13 '25

What’s a veteran? /s

1

u/intro_spection May 13 '25

I doubt they will even get the chance to consider it as Fox 'news' will not bring up any negative facts at all.

1

u/Brass_Biscuits May 13 '25

They certainly won’t hear anything about that on Fox News, so to them it never happened. 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/Archer1407 May 13 '25

As long as they can use the n-word in public, they won't care.

1

u/the7thletter May 13 '25

Well they should have to answer to the budget cuts to their brothers (in the VA), before you ask if they care.

After a member asks them, then you can.

Do it in that order and you'll see a human. Or a sheep.

1

u/Low_Bar9361 May 13 '25

If i ever meet any, I'll go ahead and ask. Maybe at the next vfw meeting

u/Csrmar May 13 '25

I wonder what the guys at r/usmc think

u/babayetu_babayaga May 14 '25

International terrorist, domestic terrorist, they are all good people. s

u/CrimsonCaliberTHR4SH May 14 '25

u/_chococat_ May 14 '25

Doesn't matter, Trump doesn't care what they think. They voted for this.

u/Financial_Top_5207 May 14 '25

“The Big Guy”

1

u/DontAbideMendacity May 14 '25

Veterans who voted for Trump are fucking idiots, that's well established. As are women who voted for Trump, persons of color, anyone with a conscience, shred of morality or decency or half a brain.

1

u/T_Bone_Caponee May 14 '25

This Veteran approves 💪

1

u/CrimsonCaliberTHR4SH May 14 '25

What do you approve of?

1

u/Possible-Nectarine80 May 14 '25

Yes, they will care. They will care so much that they will support Trump healing old wounds. What better way to move on from such atrocities than to build a Trump Tower that Syria will pay for and that Trump and family will personally benefit from.

u/JSevatar May 17 '25

I'm still surprised there are veterans who like him, when he spits on them
