"No more mister nice guy" as he hugs the leader of the army with a flag that says "this is iran" - yeesh

Speaking of dragging shit out...

Did you guys ever find that sick senator or is that somehow still a thing too?

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 20 points 5 days ago

Still a thing. This country is a circus.

I think he's going to get betrayed by a very disabled man ie RFK

[–] noodles@slrpnk.net 19 points 5 days ago

In fairness I don't think he cares if he loses to Iran as long as people forget about the Epstein files

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Was he ever "Mr. Nice Guy"?

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That what he calls himself when he rapes kiddies.

Even Trump admitted he can't stand the sight of blood. Can't imagine him under an arrow-laden shield laughing. He'd be the one looking up remarking that the sun is going dark.

While shitting himself. Though he does that whether he’s scared or not.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 6 points 4 days ago

Sure, but have you considered that he's a very stupid man who only has to convince a country full of people even dumber than him?

[–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hmm... not really.

I mean sure Trump trying to align himself with this type of machismo is as pathetic as it always is.

... and yes the 300 spartans died while the persians did not die, so they were victorious in that sense.

However, the movie does try to push the narrative that those 300 spartans won an important victory because their death united the armies of the city states of greece to defend against the oncoming persian army.

They would have done a better job if they also showed the thousands of Helots, Thebians and Thespians that fought there as well.

Maybe even the Athenian victory over the president fleet at salamis.

a film that is notoriously homoerotic too.

Things that happen if you slept through school. Assuming they still teach real history in school in the US.

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 12 points 5 days ago

As if they ever did teach real history to begin with.

US history classes have always been incredibly propagandized for as long as any of us have been alive unless you're over 90.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 5 days ago

Apart from anything else, he was never Mr. Nice Guy.

I imagine trying to squeeze trump into a plate carrier would be like trying to squeeze 10lbs of shit into a 5lb sack

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

He's just there for the pre-battle oiled man orgy.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh shit, that guy burnt the books, but the AIs still know....

Also. He think he is sparta in that story? Wow

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 8 points 5 days ago

I mean, child abuse? Check. Incompetent to nonexistent strategy? Check. Getting bought by the highest bidder to the detriment of literally everyone involved except a handful of elites? Check.

Turns out, Sparta kinda sucks.

Well if they had modern rifles that could kinda change the outcome of course

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

In above only trump has one. So, uh, I doubt that

[–] couldhavebeenyou@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Maybe he brought along his modern understanding of tactics and strategy as well
