Like releasing his taxes? Like a universal healthcare plan? Like the Epstein Files?

Face it, Trump has planted the US face-to-ass into another forever war.

Oh sweet, another 2 weeks? How many fortnights is that now?

He means it this time.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today on 09 Jun 11:35 next collapse

Everything is two weeks away with this guy. Does he understand how time works?

protist@retrofed.com on 09 Jun 11:43 next collapse

He does, he knows most people will have forgotten what he said two weeks prior

mech@feddit.org on 09 Jun 12:19 next collapse

That’s cause he forgets everything within 2 weeks, and he has a very good brain, maybe one of the best, everyone is saying so.

wjrii@lemmy.world on 09 Jun 13:16 collapse

This, and not ironically.

It is a slippery thing, this two weeks — not a measurement of time so much as a placeholder. Two weeks for Mr. Trump can mean something, or nothing at all. It is both a yes and a no. It is delaying while at the same time scheduling. It is not an objective unit of time, it is a subjective unit of time. It is completely divorced from any sense of chronology. It simply means later. But later can also mean never. Sometimes.

Yes, and he plans to do something extra crazy in the next two weeks to (hopefully) make you talk about something else.

Incoming headline: “Donald Trump plans to blow up moon, says it ruins night sky”

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca on 09 Jun 13:06 next collapse

Nobody wants to get fired so they keep telling him just two more weeks, and he’s too senile to feel the passage of time or form memories.

Wonder how many days that is in human time. He would finish the Ukraine war in 24h, so something tells me it’s about 700 weeks or so.

Unfortunately only 500 days.

No, he always means two weeks from the date it happens.

Two weeks from when he was last asked.

Total victory in two weeks in a war he said was won two months ago.

Itd be nice if congress did their damned job and followed the law around trumps ability to command the armed forces indefinitely into war without congress declaring war.

Just once they could do their jobs. Its not a lot to ask.

Miller@lemmy.world on 11 Jun 20:57 collapse

Look at the calibre of people that take those seats in Congress now, they hide and follow and know nothing else. The other sort of person who in the past would have led is weeded out early in their political career by a press owned by the people who own everything else.

Obama’s kenyan birth certificate was promised to everyone “in two weeks” 16 years ago, so I guess we’re probably in this for the next 16 years.

DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip on 09 Jun 15:47 collapse

Right around this time is when I realized it was too late, some people just don’t want to listen to reality.

It was so easy to prove that false and people ran with it anyway.

blattrules@lemmy.world on 09 Jun 18:50 collapse

It should have been immediately disqualifying for any presidential candidate and then he’s vomited out a constant stream of even more disqualifying things on a daily basis since then and no one has held him accountable yet. I can’t believe so many people are so divorced from reality and intelligence that he hasn’t been tossed into the sun by this point.

“Just two more weeks, bro.”

pachrist@lemmy.world on 09 Jun 16:24 next collapse

When I used to work with kids, if they wanted to know how long it would be until something, and they wouldn’t take “I don’t know” as an answer, I always said 15 minutes. Short enough that they’d stop asking, but long enough that they would go off, do something else, and forget about it.

2 weeks folks.

HubertManne@piefed.social on 09 Jun 16:12 next collapse

oh. yeah. I remember when he said this just as it started.

The same two weeks I’ve waited through both his presidencies for him to address infrastructure?

No worries. After it’s all done, Karoline Leavitt will just speak into her speakwrite and retroactively everything will be re-written to say that it was always two weeks after all. Don’t panic, everybody.

He’s posting the “peace plan good” too early in the week. He usually posts it on Friday so the stock market can end the week high, then say “not this time” on Monday right after he sells all his stock.
