I hate to break this on Easter day...

[orangecrush]

If the fact that a sitting President can say this publicly and isn't rapidly removed indicates to me that no one will stop him when he decides to launch nukes.

Dear God help us.

No one else is

I'm cringing with embarrassment that an American president wrote this. Absolutely cringing.

1. It is plain to see that there are no guardrails anymore. NONE.

The world is ruled by a crazed demented monster

[orangecrush]

3. I believe he's going to launch a nuke

Creating a "national emergency" and will only leave power on a gurney.

[OldBaldy1701E]

24. Then, why are we waiting to put him on one? (n/t)

[Kali]

37. you are usually a little "ahead" of me on the paranoia scale

but I believe that is what he wants to do. absolutely. I do still maintain some hope (fantasy?) that he will be stopped somehow, but he wants to do it. oh yes.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Mutiny unlikely

It would require Republicans to grow a spine, ditch fear, abandon the cash, act morally, become patriots.

Like I said. Unlikely.

[dalton99a]

6. The U.S. Congress in its current term is mere decoration

[some_of_us_are_sane]

4. Won't happen...

because TRUMP lowered the IQ and the ambiance of the entire UN-UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. He's an UN-read, UN-educated moron.

[barbtries]

34. i call it

the disunited states of dystopia.

[malaise]

5. Precisely

Rec

[leftstreet]

7. The Constitution is a worthless piece of paper

I'm more afraid of Congress at this point than Trump

[dalton99a]

10. +1. His bootlickers might very well approve emergency powers

[wnylib]

30. I don't agree about the Constitution. Just because it is

being violated constantly by the regime in power does not mean that it is worthless. It is an inspiration and rallying cry for Americans who oppose the regime now. May it also be an inspiration and rallying cry for resistance against the dictatorship that is just around the corner.

As long as there are people who support its values and are willing to back them, it is not worthless. It inspired Minneapolis. Let it inspire the rest of us as our turn comes -- and it will come.

[GaYellowDawg]

8. This is REAL???

Not a parody? This is excessive even by his standards!

[dalton99a]

11. 100% real.

[orangecrush]

12. 100% real.

[femmedem]

19. Yup. I had to check because it does read like a parody, but it's quoted in the WaPo.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/05/trump-iran-strait-hormuz-easter-threat/

"President Donald Trump escalated his threats to target Iran’s infrastructure if it does not open up the Strait of Hormuz, warning the country will be “living in Hell” in an expletive-filled message on social media Sunday.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

The profane threat, which landed Easter morning a few hours after Pope Leo XIV issued a call for nations to choose peace, heightens earlier warnings from Trump over a vital shipping route Tehran has effectively closed since the United States and Israel launched their attacks on Iran about five weeks ago. Gas prices have risen sharply as Iran limits the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, ramping up the political pressure on Trump to end the conflict he started . . . "

[The Wizard]

9. He is in 25th Amendment territory.

Too bad his Cabinet and congressional Repubics are spineless punks.

[orangecrush]

13. It's going to get much worse

He is ditching the opportunists and installing full blown lunatics.

[dalton99a]

15. Like cancer. Trump is a walking malignancy.

[paleotn]

27. Checked out the FEMA head lately?

He swears he was "teleported" to a Waffle House. Really?

Normally, that's called drunk or drugged off your ass when you have no idea how you got to where you are.

[BattleRow]

31. Or where and when your next teleportation adventure will happen.

Hopefully no pesky TSA lines or issues to deal with.
Now if the government grifters can just figure out how to privatize teleportation...

[sop]

14. (I realize we're not supposed to post "imagine if Biden said" comments), but imagine if Joe had posted

"Praise be to Allah" on Easter. The religious right would be totally losing their shit.

[dgauss]

33. Or imagine if Obama said that.

[Klarkashton]

16. Trump is the crazy bastard.

This whole thing is shit from top to bottom.

There is a whole propaganda thing going on about that downed plane and crew. They had no goddamn business being there and bombing Iran in the first place. Of course they don't want that to cross your mind.

[WarGamer]

17. the problem is... he ran on crazy and won. A ratio of Americans want crazy.

That's about it.

[orangecrush]

21. He is removing the opportunists

Because there was a remote chance one of them might covertly stop him.

Ala Bondi reportedly giving Swalwell a heads up on the DOJ investigation.

He is going to install hardcore lunatics.

The crazy voters are going to get their wish in spades.

[Whip-poor-will]

18. Easter message of love

Jesus would have said the same thing on Easter/s

[-misanthroptimist]

20. He's totally lost his marble

I mean, he only had two to begin with.

[usonian]

22. From the lost and found department.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

23. Don't worry, Putin's monitoring the situation. Didn't he just send a delegation that was

received with open arms by some members of Congress? Putin's got this. Actually I believe he's got power of attorney, but that might be only between him and tRump. Something that might be a surprise to the rest of us.

[paleotn]

25. Unfortunately, it may take something like that to finally end the bastard.

[tblue37]

26. There is one crazy bastard involved in this situation.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

28. Hopefully, he's moved on from Killing School Kids Day.

[punguin54]

29. Voting for krasnov.

Is voting for death.

[debsy]

32. The guy is a lunatic

This is what happens when there are zero boundaries set ever in one’s life.

[COL Mustard]

35. I've been afraid of that (and retaliation)

Since the day he got reelected.

[orangecrush]

36. Same here
