He seems to know everything about what is happening there with the migrant community and pets, but he can care less about what is happening to the citizens of Springfield.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 33 points 3 days ago

Right? For someone who doesn't know about things and has never heard of people, he sure does never shut up about them.

What do we do we’ve pissed off the cat ladies

I know tell people that immigrants are eating cats and only we can save those cats

[-] orclev@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

... you know that didn't even occur to me, but it's just dumb enough it might be true. Then again, that's probably giving Trump more credit than he deserves, he just regurgitates whatever stupid bullshit is making the rounds on the alt-right portions of Facebook/Twitter that week.

I's that why they pivoted to hiv? To try for the lgbtq+ community?

[-] eatthecake@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I was thinking the same thing. Vance keeps talking about how much he loves all the cat memes. He might also be relieved from the couch memes..

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Time to double down, boys.

HIV stands for "Hello, I'm Vance".

Yes, you can catch hiv from fucking couches.

Is couchfucking viral? Has JD Vance started an epidemic with his sperm cups? Can scotchguard protect me? Here's what we know about injecting antiVance:

It’s never his fault. After all he famously said it out loud - he takes no responsibility at all.

jon stewart was spot on with the captain of the ship running to be the first on the lifeboats thing.

Reminder that he is a malignant narcissist, and is biologically incapable of accepting blame, responsibility or personal faults. As per the Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

The buck stops way the hell over there.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a valid report of an instance of Trump ever uttering the words, "I'm Sorry?" I just wonder if this is a pathological thing for him and Fred instilled in him the idea that to apologize for anything at any time, no matter how wrong you are is to show weakness.

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Yes but no. It was Roy Cohn who taught him to never acknowledge he lost or was wrong.

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

Had to look this one up, Trump did issue an apology about grabbing women by the pussy, but it was probably not sincere, and only done to better himself than actually have remorse for his actions.

[-] falk1856@midwest.social 20 points 3 days ago

That looks like a calculated non-apology. An actual apology probably doesn't exist. He said "I'm sorry if anyone was offended". He placed the blame on the reaction that others had to his abhorrent statements, not on his actions themselves. He didn't seem to care that he was in the wrong, only that the reaction from the people was politically inconvenient for him.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 3 days ago

Which is an extremely important distinction. "I'm sorry you were offended" is not a true apology, and everyone should be aware of this whether regarding Trump or other bullies you may encounter in your life.

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Right, I think that this is really the only thing that comes close to an apology speaks for itself and the type of person Trump is. Every success is because of him and every failure is because of someone else.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

No. Narcissism does not alter for that because it feels weak. The narcissist needs continuous praise and to be infallible.

Those turbulent priest ridders are everywhere it seems

He is 100% a shit bag.

And I also believe that when the reporter asked if he denounced the bomb threats, Trump didn’t know what “denounce” means.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Stupid sociopath.

The Leader of the MAGA Family Cult everyone.
