    Being a Veteran Of The Internet, I know to take screengrabs with a pinch of salt. I’ll do my due diligence, thank you!

    And, well, I wish I hadn’t. Because now I know this is real and oh my fucking god

        Jesus christ … whichever 4chan incels were hired to run the U.S. web pages didn’t even blink twice at turning a meme into a governmental announcement.

        This is what it’s about - completely outrageous displays of circusry to distract from it becoming an absolutely, pants-shittingly embarrassing mockery of its former glory.

        The U.S is getting robbed blind and made to look like a buffoon simultaneously.

          FYI, this is far from the first time they’ve done this since January 2025. This has been the new reality for like a year and a half now

            I’m never on xitter but i checked the official White House page i believe three or four times last year: it was a wild experience each time.
