Must be the Iranian peace prize to go with the one from FIFA.

I’m guessing it was a large wooden horse

Both favorites! Grape and cherry are both favorites.

Maybe they gave him a 747 that’s totally not bugged. oh wait that was Qatar, my bad

kmartburrito@lemmy.world on 26 Mar 01:07 next collapse

Well, it’s probably because he makes shit up on the fly all the time. A man that literally cannot tell the truth is confusing? All he’s trying to do is run out the clock. Keep kicking the can down the road to avoid prison and impeachment.

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise

And don’t forget to throw in the dementia in there.

I am honestly not sure which is worse. That we have a world leader representing the US who believes

  • the population is stupid and complacent enough to swallow this lie.

-that a bribe is something both laudable and acceptable from an active war opponent.

This really is Caligula loosing touch with reality.

Caligula

Maybe the Marines will secure the Straight by firing bullets into the water and then declare victory over it? Some people tell me this is a very victorious way to wage war.

SippyCup@lemmy.world on 26 Mar 09:43 next collapse

We’ll send a bunch of unarmed barely armed and notoriously fragile LCS ships made of aluminum to the Straight.

You know those stupid futuristic looking catamaran ass destroyers?

Those. (They’re made of soft penetrable aluminum.)

neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works on 26 Mar 12:19 collapse

We need to nuke the strait apparently. Just like the hurricanes.

ripcord@lemmy.world on 26 Mar 11:38 collapse

That a bribe from a foreign power isn’t specifically forbidden by the constitution, and for really good reasons

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 26 Mar 11:53 collapse

I guess the emoluments clause just doesn’t exist anymore, huh?

What about giving aid and succor to enemies?

They were also confused before the Iranian prize remark.

The whole world is confused for decades

So it was a video of him raping a kid?

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works on 26 Mar 11:48 next collapse

I am pretty sure he is talking about the insider trading he and a bunch of people in the regime are doing on polymarket and similar platforms

dermanus@lemmy.ca on 26 Mar 12:01 next collapse

What’s confusing? You have the most short sighted, transactional president ever and he took a bribe. Or someone convinced him they gave him a bribe.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today on 26 Mar 13:19 collapse

They gave him a big gift, and that’s how he knows he’s dealing with the right people.

They might not be able to deliver on any of their agreements, but they promised him something shiny, so he’s in.

They are going to fleece him for a zillion bucks.
