Excuse me, but that is a lie.

This Trump is an incontinent, racist, sexist, child raping, cheating, drooling, gurgling, selfish, fat butted, super old, makeup wearing, death threats sending, potato headed, pampered whining 5 year old kid with low iq and an immense inheritance that he never worked for and never will, his daddy’s minions will see to that. He’s the epitome of those needlessly burning money elites that his feet-licking plebes hate so much.

That’s what he is.
And for the life of me, why the actual flying fuck those ultra right-wingers are yapping for this crawling dung heap is way beyond my comprehension.

Edit: Oh and he’s also a traitorous criminal. That too.

don't forget the small hands

And the 🍄dick

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 3 points 3 months ago

Indeed, I am quite likely falling short of many things here. Pussy grabbing, tax evading, selling state secrets, you name it he probably has done it.

It’s more than Fox News, my source inside the MAGAsphere informs me most people rarely watch it anymore.

It’s about NYT and WaPo, NBC, CBS, et. al., who constantly couch everything in bland “normal” terms for various reasons - none of which outweigh the fact that the GQP has nominated a traitorous, rapist fraud for President.

And they should stop getting a pass on that shit.

They're all the same people. Like the same owners, and the same wants. Profits over people. News stopped being about information when advertising took the wheel.

The Internet blew up the division in the 4th estate. There is only profit and attention economy now.

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 3 months ago

Fox News is too liberal for the true believers; Newsmax at least.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 3 months ago

remember guys, january 6th was a peaceful protest, there was no violence, all of the footage of people fighting with police and breaking things doesn't count as violence, because we ignore it.

There was no trespassing going on, because nobody broke down several layers of barricades, and broke into the capitol in order to "storm the capitol" that never happened, all the footage of that happening is definitely not something that exists at all.

all of the fake electors with their fake and fraudulent votes that were sent to the capitol and not admitted into the building because they weren't legitimate electors were just government plants, clearly, the footage of them isn't real. It doesn't exist.

this has been your yearly PSA about the fact that anybody saying ANYTHING about jan 6th should search jan 6th on youtube. Or archive.org I would also highly recommend everyone go watch infowars coverage of the event, there is a very slimy and rather humorous change of tone as they realize it's not going to work and that the plan is backfiring.

[-] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

IF it did happen it was antifa anyway.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

nah, it was clearly FBI operatives, as reported by the google whistleblower, who also happens to believe in every conspiracy ever.

(fun fact, most people that believe in one conspiracy, believe in other conspiracies.)

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Repub Congress on Jan. 6th: [cowering in terror, fleeing for their lives]

Repub Congress today: just a rowdy tour, what is the big deal?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

im not sure if this is cognitive dissonance or just denial of reality, but it's definitely something.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

remember guys, january 6th was a peaceful protest, there was no violence, all of the footage of people fighting with police and breaking things doesn’t count as violence, because we ignore it.

I was told that the J6ers were double-super-secret Far Left Antifa who wanted to make Trump look bad.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

yeah, something like that, now please don't ask me what conspiracies i believe in, the answer is all of them.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago

"And so, I will spend every waking hour ensuring he's #1 in the news cycle, then act surprised when he wins again!"

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

That just means that the 'national media' that promotes him, just isn't actual media but fox entertainment. It's nothing more then a clown and pony show to brainwash inbreds

[-] psvrh@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 months ago

It’s more that the media is not equipped to deal with Trump.

They've always depended on balance for credibility, and that doesn't work when one side is blatantly disingenuous. The media will still try to appear balanced, and even that's not enough because accurate reporting of someone like Trump comes off as accusatory because he's just that corrupt and incompetent.

The result is that the media attention whitewashes and minimizes his transgressions and inflates his opponents' in an attempt to appear balanced. It also gives his odious ideas oxygen and thusly the appearance of approval and credibility.

That's why the current Democratic strategy of mocking him and calling him "weird" is working, because it's explicitly not normalizing his behaviour or giving his message a platform.

[-] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago

They've had decades to adapt to Republicans being blatantly disingenuous. At what point does it stop being "not equipped to deal with" and does it start being "chooses not to deal with"?

Private media are owned by shareholders that want as many unfair advantages as possible. They want to be slightly left of center to appeal to the "reasonable centrist" crowd, but they want the center to be as far to the right as possible so their taxes are low and their assets unregulated. Moreover, they want the presidential election to be as close to 50-50 as possible so both candidates are desperate for bribe money and and willing to pay further favors.

If the Democrats win by a landslide, what is next? What is the new political center, and what does that mean for the stock market? Even in the face of fascism, corporations and shareholders keep playing both sides, because if Volkswagen and BMW and Ford and Siemens and Kodak and IBM and Bayer and the Associated Press and Hugo Boss and Fanta/Coca-Cola and all the unnamed German millionaires that hid their cash and pillaged Jewish artifacts in Switzerland and politely surrendered to the western forces made it through being Nazis with a profit, why expect worse from Trump?

Where is the political meme?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

We wanna do this again?

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well cause all US media outlets are full of bull shit and only care about their bottom line, views and $$$

[-] tgs1999@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

The first beast

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago

Since when does the US have national media. Isn't it all private companies?

[-] uienia@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Im guessing it means media companies broadcasting nationally instead of just in local states.

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I mean.. we know WHY they are. I think that's the real conversation people need to have

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Manufacture of consent

[-] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

This crap is out there y'all

disinformation

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Methinks it's that fear of pointing at Trump and hitting all of his supporters. Nay?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Partially, yah I’d agree. But more to the point, it undermines the role of a free press in the health of a republic. Capitalism has neutered the free press through profit & loss instead of governmental restrictions on content.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

There are maybe one or two tha pretend to so as to avoid any legal issues that his criminalminded attornies might dream up

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 months ago

He can be both, hopefully he won't be elected again, but he was elected once and it isn't completely inprobable that he gets elected again.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

He can be both

So you think a traitorous person can be a legitimate candidate?

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago

as far as democracy goes, if people want to elect a hitler, they elect a hitler.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Valid sentence, yes.

I'd still like an answer though.
