MODERATORS
 

Ohio Rep.Michael Rulli appeared on Maria Bartiromo's Fox Business News show to say he is appalled at Democrats' rhetoric, which needs to be "toned down." The Ohio Republican must never have seen Trump's tweets or Truth Social posts before. He should check in on that! Or when Donald said in Iowa in July that he "hates" Democrats, saying, "I cannot stand them." Or how about Jan. 6th, when Trump incited a mob of his supporters to attack the US Capitol to cling to power.

Rulli discussed the Charlie Kirk shooting, the only school shooting Republicans have cared about. The Turning Point co-founder seems even more powerful to Republicans after his death, as they use it to silence the opposition. His widow started fundraising days after his death, despite Charlie's $12 million net worth.

I don't do commands, how about you fuck off.

That line hits so hard.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 28 points 22 hours ago

You mean constantly calling for his imprisonment and murder?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 40 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I know his comment is directed at Democrats in office, not the general populace, but since he brought up Charlie Kirk: Charlie Kirk called for Biden to be executed while he was president.

is THAT the respect you want shown to Trump? because right now you're making lists of people saying things far less offensive

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 16 points 21 hours ago

A nice-time Charlie Kirk quote: "Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia filled, alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and or given the death penalty for his crimes against America."

Yeah definitely need to rise to their level of respect. /s

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The same respect they showed Biden? As much as I hate Trump, I don’t think I could ever treat him that badly.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 11 hours ago

I could, I'll do it twice for you

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago

Sorry but Trump has to earn respect and that ship sailed a long time ago.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Brb gonna buy a gigantic sticker of Trump tied up and gagged to put on the back of my car to make it look like he’s in the trunk.

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is the back of your car big enough?

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Definitely for his hands. Not for his gut.

Probably, but I’d like to see the proof. And then show it to everyone else on earth.

I'd be willing to accept a copy of a report by the agent who saw proof. The original will probably be too thoroughly contaminated for handling once the horrors of that job become too much for said agent.

So ... he's asking for Democrats to January 6th?

Sooo.... I'm to treat him with no respect at all? Gotcha!

Booing? Jeering when he talks? Insulting him? Lying about basic and easily fact checked things? Posting stickers all over the place, blaming President "Taco" for things that are not remotely under his control? Can do.

Sorry, my memory is a bit better than the average Republican voter, but I'm sure there are even more "respectful" things I've forgotten.

Fuck off.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't forget about the fjb bumper stickers and the whole "let's go Brandon"

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 135 points 1 day ago (4 children)
  1. Boo Trump loudly when he talks.
  2. Call him Demented Don.
  3. Consistently threaten Don that you'll leave your post, reject anything he proposes regardless of how it'll help every day Americans
[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago

Dont forget that you should get a sticker as big as the tailgate on your truck that looks like you have him bound and gagged in the bed of your truck!

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 29 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Pretend he's not wearing pants. Just refer to his lack of pants and slobbery pronunciation constantly

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nevermind refer to him as sleepy or crooked in any official address as a matter of habit.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

  1. Accuse everyone else in his administration of elder abuse

We are rolling with droopy don now

So wear a weird white fuzzy dress in yell at the president like a lunatic nonstop like MTG did?

[–] DaedalousIlios@pawb.social 49 points 1 day ago

Wow! Look at that: Republicans and Leftists want Democrats to do the same thing for once: treating Trump with less respect!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Gaslighting is the conservative way

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

Fuck that Cheeto chimp pedophile.

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] tal@olio.cafe 53 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Have Trump act like Biden did.

George W. Bush was a Republican president and didn't get anything like the flak that Trump does. He also didn't behave like Trump does.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 day ago

Oh, man...remember when GW was the dumbest president, ever? Oh, if we only knew what was yet to come. Trump makes him look like a Rhodes scholar.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He did lie a lot and rip up quite a bit of international relations things though

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But he rolls 20's when he has to dodge a shoe

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Oh, man. I remember that. I hated shrub but I had to tip my hat then. That was genuinely impressive. I felt the same way when Wendy Deng protected Rupert from the pie.

It's sad that I want W back. It would still be a massive upgrade, though

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When I see old GWB footage I see a US president, trying to do what he believes is best for the nation, I disagree with him on plenty of stuff, but I don't question his commitment.

When I see current Trump footage, I don't see a president, I see either toddler throwing his toys (the US, the US citizens, and the federal government) at the wall and stomping on them, or a stupid spiteful man who is trying desperately to destroy any kind of liberty outside of the weird US conservative sphere.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Can we not whitewash the atrocities that WBush put on this nation? Is Trump worse? yes. But Bush paved the way for the shit that he's doing.

He lied is into multiple 2-decades long wars that cost us trillions of dollars could have helped everyone in the US have a better life, 10s of thousands of lives lost. He vastly expanded the domestic surveillance apparatus that is plaguing us now. He ushered in the worst economic collapse in a century, them used that crisis to funnel more money to the rich who caused it.

I'm more for "ok"

Then we can start talking about "the Trump crime family" and how he sniffs little girls hair.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Trump deserves the respect of a giant stinking turd.

Why not go after his children and their various atrocities, scandals, treasons?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 17 points 1 day ago

It's unbelievable how they've politicized and weaponized politics, it's incredible.

Ah yes, democrats have politicized politics. I swear, I've never seen a clip where Bartiromo doesn't look and sound absolutely sloshed.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

So none then.
