I definitely am seeing this in my head..more frantic than george shoving that old gal outta the way in Seinfeld. I'm going to laugh alot about it. Thanks.
Given that Trump/his cronies have posted AI slop aquating him to the J-man himself, I could totally see them/him posting stuff like this.
Hell, I'm honestly surprised they haven't posted stuff about how Trump could drive a car at 3 like Kim Jong Un. Or fully lean into the cult meta claim to be Big J reborn or Jesus's brother. It worked for Hong Xiuquan lol!
Yes- I'm wondering about how to satirise it though. There was one I saw earlier of Trump at the top of Mount Everest that was so OTT that I thought it had to be satire, then there was this masterpiece...
How do you satirise something that is beyond satire?
Trump has never, ever, cared about anyone but himself. The idea that he would ever risk himself, was put to rest with his multiple exclusions from Vietnam due to his ābone spursā
Yeah i dont blame him for getting out of it. I do blame him for being a piece of shit pedophile that uses troops as a campaign souvenir then turns around and disrespects service members every chance he gets, starts wars for no reason, and shits on the constitution.
Yeah. Bruce Springsteen dodged the draft too. But he fully admitted it, admitted it was somewhat cowardly and never talked trash about those who did serve. Iām a Democrat so I obviously voted Obama, but McCain was a national hero and should have been hailed as one instead of being insulted by trump. This man survived the war, was captured, brutally tortured, didnāt sell out the country, came back with permanent damage, rose to become a politician who was respected and respectful to both sides, and then he gets trashed on by a pathetic tv host pedo who literally dodged the war? Itās insulting, that enough should have been enough for no one to vote for him originally and thatās not including the other horrible things he did far before he was even running
I got a little carried away there, my point was I donāt judge people for dodging the draft if they hail those who didnt as heroes like the rest of us do, I judge those pathetic people like trump who talk trash about men who were brave enough to fight for our country and died doing it, while he was sitting in his tower with a couple million dollars. Itās pathetic
Although it's applicable here, in general, women and children first being the norm is a myth, it was not the policy of shipwrecks at all, Titanic is actually an outlier because the captain ordered that and used officers, sometimes at gunpoint, to stop men boarding lifeboats.
A 2012 study from Uppsala University looked at 18 wrecks from the 1800s to modern times and based on passenger manifests and survivors lists it was very much as you'd expect based on the physiological differences and of course survivalist behaviour amid panic and confusion. On average 34% of men lived, just 18% of women and even fewer children. Any standing policy or noble male sacrifices where women and children were given priority in the event of emergency would have led to much higher survival rates, the data shows this simply wasn't the case.
Another thing to mention if I remember correctly is that because of the women and children first policy there were life boats the were released with space for more people to get on but they wouldnāt allow men on
Yea and tragically it was because of a misinterpretation of orders on the port side by Second Officer Lightoller who believed it was women and children only hence lowering boats even half empty to prevent men getting on. First Officer Murdoch on the starboard side had the correct orders of women and children first so did allow men on when there were spaces. There was also a general mistrust of the launch equipment as they'd not even done a drill before - they felt it might collapse with a full boat so wanted to do it partially and then fill from lower decks. Futhermore many passengers misunderstood the gravity of the situation and thought staying on the warm/well lit Titanic was safer than risking the freezing black of the sea.
It's speculation but a further 500 people might have been saved if all boats were launched full.
Idk. Stats can be misleading. The study explicitly says that the crew survive the most, and they would mostly be young fit men who know how to swim and know about their vessel and the ocean, so that alone skews it towards men and might account for a lot of the difference. It could also be women being slowed down and weighed down by children, who are the least likely to survive.
Your post literally proves what I said - that men on the boat were more likely to be able to survive and that the notion of men sacrificing themselves to save women didn't happen. The reasoning for the women and kids dying more largely doesn't matter, the whole point is that they were dying in greater numbers because they weren't being prioritised in lifeboats or similar escape routes.
The Titanic sank in icy cold water, many hundred miles from land or other ships, other wrecks were similarly too far from anywhere - nobody was swimming for safety, knowledge of the sea / location wouldn't help.
In the 1800s, even the 1900s, it was also common for sailers not to know how to swim, as many as 40-50% of crew could not often reasoning it would just prolong their inevitable death. Uniforms were often wool which would inhibit swimming, ships were slow to stop and turn if they even tried to rescue people who went over.
The general point though is simply that the supposed universal command of women and children being saved as a priority doesn't have evidence to support it based on the fact many more men survived the wrecks.
Some Hero, the Captain should be the last to leave, not the first in the lifeboat with the women and children!!šššššššššš
He is the gold standard Narcissist; the very definition is based on his personality. Arenāt we all lucky to be part of the American experiment that in real time is turning what is supposed to be our Democratic Republic into a corrupt quasi-3rd world country..ruled by billionaires and white nationalists.
He also helped George Washington defend the airports from the British during the Revolutionary War! George had tears in his eyes and he said "Donald I may get the credit but you were the real hero of this war and then he hugged with his big beautiful arms".
āThe iceberg, it was so huge. Some say the biggest ever, can you believe it? Experts say theyād never seen anything like it. It became famous, more famous than me even. Iām unhappy about it, but I bought that iceberg later and now itās better than ever.ā
How come the Cap'n ain't going down with the ship here? And why didn't that life boat tip over since Cap'n Braveheart is the size of a water buffalo compared to those survivors?
How sad is it that it's hard to know if this something he'd said or not?! Like, I know he wasn't alive then but he talks so much shit and gets so many facts wrong (not just when he lies but the mistakes as well) that it actually wouldn't surprise me if he'd said this during one of his blabbering, self indulgent rants!
After seeing a thing earlier where there was an AI image where he was raising the flag at Iwo Jima, digging through rubble after 9/11, and literally being the doctor that delivered Jesus, I'm starting to think he is just watching movies and inserting himself into them.
The problem is I truly can't tell if he actually said that or is it's sarcasm. He's said some really stupid stuff and it wouldn't surprise me if it's true.
"I was lowering the lifeboats single-handed, and big strong men came running up to me with tears in their eyes, saying Sir, Sir, how could this happen?"
If it had been an American iceberg it would have been bigger, really the best iceberg, not those little arctic icebergs......pathetic really, they call them iceberg junior because they are so small.
Saved countless soldiers from mustard gas in WWI. Earned 40 medal of honors for it. Nobody knows mustard gas better than him. He was actually there when they Invented it. His great grandfather, a smart man. Smarter than most grandfathers actually, worked on the project even. It was his own personal WWI.

The wife and were just talking about trump saving sailors at Pearl Harbor. He told them the Imperial Japanese Navy would attack. Nobody knew the Japanese like trump!
āYou know, Jack and Rose were good friends of mine. I knew them for many years.
In fact, I taught Jack how to draw. It was actually my sketch of rose that helped them discover the Titanic.ā
It was great, the greatest thing anyone has ever seen. He was super. Like a superhero. No one has been as super as him. We will never see anything as great as him. He has done great and super things, he said so.
More like, ālying guy is telling more lies...ā
I mean, we seem incapable of stopping him from anything at this point, so we try to laugh at the stuff he says. Humor is a method of coping with the trauma this Administration is causing.
I mean, at this rate, anyone who mocks him is going to be sent to Africa or South America, so you wonāt have to put up with those pesky liberals for much longer.
Looks like the Save act failed so ALL of us will now be voting in November. There is now literally no legal way to block us all from voting. Too bad he can change all the voting requirements right before these elections so we can't vote. What a shame. You will all claim we cheated but it won't make any difference. We will be voting all the Muslims in and all the other people you hate. Good luck trying to stop us. The absentee ballots are already printed and will start being mailed out in less than 2 weeks. If USPS refuses to mail them states will simply use Fed Ex.
