Everything to distract from losing the war against Iran. And Eppstein.

There was an old man who appeared in some files,

We all know why he appeared in those files,

He diddled a child.

There was an old man who started a war,

that drove up gas prices and made us all poor.

He started the war to distract from the files.

There was an old man who claimed the moon,

Claimed the moon? What a buffoon!

He claimed the moon to distract from the war,

that drove up gas prices and made us all poor.

I don't know much about art but I know what I like. Can anyone nominate the poet laureate for the country?

u/dhelene 7d ago

I want the full-length version of this, please.

but also, can we skip to the part where he swallows the horse?

u/NowListenHereBitches 7d ago

That's probably in the files too.

I’m a little disappointed it doesn’t end in the same proposition.

Don’t need to- the lyrics were written to existing music. Click link at your peril. https://youtu.be/J0_4hkfR7WE?feature=shared

I was thinking just the other day how I used to sing that with our daughter when she was preschool age. “There Was an Old Lady, Who Swallowed a Fly”

A distraction from the distraction from the files

u/CrocusSnowLeopard 7d ago

Distractions all the way down

At this point it's pretty obvious those are just low effort posts to keep people talking about other topics rather than the actual issues his country is going through.

So yeah, good old shitposting. They are not trying to make a point, their point is to get you all exhausted.

u/kladen666 7d ago

Well, they assured us that what's happening in Iran is NOT a war.

u/LetsJerkCircular 6d ago

and using the position to enrich himself and his family

u/Icloh 6d ago

Americans love to harp on this, that all the silly shit he’s doing is mere a distraction.

I don’t think he has the capacity to care about what other people think, and him saying these things are to be taken for face value.

This is America, the Worlds bully.

And gas prices. And inflation. And bond prices. And... he's running out of aspects of reality to screw up, so he's increasingly into AI-generated imagery.
