    Moron jumps in Tiger cage. Gets darwin award. Gets made a fool of posthumously. It’s all nature taking it’s course.

    The clip showed the tiger biting and clawing Chapman as he was sitting in the enclosure. At one point he wags his finger at the animal.

    Trump signed the footage with: “Don’t ever mess with nature! President DJT.” It did not show Chapman being killed.

    Later the president posted an AI-generated video of himself grinning and having fun by chasing and play fighting with the tiger. It is accompanied by the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens. It features Trump copying the pointing gesture made by Chapman and ends with him and the tiger hugging.

      America is just being America. We’ve always been this way. This country built on the blood labor of slaves, land stolen from the natives, enriched by foreign wars.

        No. This is weird. Herbert Hoover didn’t have a cartoon made of him snapping the neck of Charles Lindbergh’s baby. It’s beyond bizarre for an American president to do this.

      There’s no recovery, only rebuilding from the ashes. Even that’s not guaranteed.

        All while their own societies follow right behind. But hey, at least they’re not as bad as the US!

      You’re never going to recover. The world no longer gives 2 fucks about you.

      We’re just preparing for you to start a war everywhere. You’re now enemy number one.

      Congrats.

        I’m sorry I haven’t killed myself yet. If it makes you feel better, you only have to wait a bit over a month before I do and there’ll be one less american in the world

          Please don’t. If good Americans kill themselves, only the bad ones will be left. We’re not all bad and we need to keep reminding the world of that.

      I don’t know how we’re going to recover

      As long as people vote in the 2028 primaries, we’ll be fine and it’ll take almost no effort.

      Obviously midterms matter if you have Senate/House up for grabs and for local level.

      But all we’ve ever needed is a fair primary, and progressives dominate. What we’re about to see in the midterms is the result of just honestly trying to win everywhere. Also not difficult or a hard strategy to think of.

      As long as people keep voting, we keep putting progressives in, four years from now we could very likely be about to vote in the mythical 2/3 majority to actually get a fully functional government again.

      Four years is nothing on a country’s timeline, and it will progressively get better overtime. That kind of huge jump in midterms would also almost guarantee the progressive president a second term. Without having to trade off with Republicans, voters would start to see stuff pay off, and be motivated to keep voting

      Shit sucks today, but I been saying since Kamala lost that one decade long timescale it was the most optimistic I’ve ever been for America. Like, I voted for her and all (fucking stupid that always needs mentioned) but if she had won she’d have let Jamie Harrison keep the DNC and he’d keep rigging primaries and threatening party members.

      We’re almost thru the worst of it
