So we've moved from that didn't happen to it wasn't that bad to it's not a big deal, to it's not my fault all in like 24 hours.
Love this speedrunning he's doing.
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. <--- We Are Here
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
What's the next step again? I think it's "they deserved it", but didn't he kinda already try that right at the start with the mental disorder BS?
I didn't mean it, then you deserved it.
Can't wait for the "I did it and they deserved it" portion.
Speed running? More like dodging.
He's blaming the parents of dead soldiers.
What a loser.
Let's make certain that he loses.
Good luck, Lemmy is full of American Conservatives.
Is it though?
Yeah like wait a minute, hold up. How the heck do you define conservative to come to that conclusion? I mean unless you've so radicalized yourself that everyone that disagrees with you, you perceive as whatever boogyman you've created.
Yeah even from the "conservatives are a form of liberal" perspective that doesn't make sense. Even from the "lemmygrad/Hexbear are psyops" perspective it doesn't make sense, that means they're not American.
Heh yeah. They're both offshoot of economic-liberalism for all its faults. But outside of that differ significantly. Maybe they're from the Netherlands/Finland etc labeling by local standards? Though even that's a stretch.
Lol...what? Is this a joke?
Do you not know what lemmy.ml (the original instance) is? Lol
There's an accusation that .ml and such are run out of a Russian/Chinese basement and are trying to get possible Dem votes to abstain but that still means they aren't American. I think they're very confused about what people mean when people say the "Stop Supporting a Genocide" crowd wants Harris to lose.
It's probably a mix of Americans and paid foreign trolls. If it was legal in Utah, I'd wager that some of the paid trolls are modding some of their big communities.
Of course, the same could be said of all the big Lemmy instances. As it grows, more and more bad faith actors will get involved.
Just making shit up, are we?
But... it's not though. Words have meanings, please try to learn them...
It doesn't matter who you think they are; what matters is how US citizens vote.
Conservative doesn’t mean republican. Only republicans vote for trump.
Not the first time and it wont be the last.
Wait until the death threats start rolling in! Then they will understand the Trump Reverse Midas Touch apon their lives.
Can you prove that the parents didn’t get hold of his TikTok account and post that video? /s
From the party of personal responsibility.
Seriously.
So why did a member of your campaign put hands on a member of the military and argue and shove them ????
Where the fuck is the journalism?! 😠😡😡
She is not a member of the military but a civilian employee, and she is too afraid of the MAGA cult to press charges.
She sounds intelligent. Most folk will make up their minds regardless of testimony, anyway.
She was a woman who dared to question whether a man who believed that he was absolutely entitled to do so about breaking federal law and military policy that he had been told he was not to break in support of the Glorious Leader. She was clearly hysterical.
When I learned it was a woman I immediately felt sick. The amount of sexism from these people is disgusting. Once you think about the history of women being "hysterical" and how it was "treated", it even gets more disturbing. I wonder if they would lobotomize her if given half the chance.
My first thought was, "What the actual fuck?!?" then I found out it was a woman and thought, "Oh! That completely explains EVERYTHING!" This is some peak, bare toothed Handmaid's Tale level condescension and should serve as a warning to every single citizen of the United States that your country is literally on the brink of becoming a nuclear armed Christian Taliban caliphate.
The party of "you need to take personal responsibility for my mistakes."
Lol, he just threw the parents that were kissing his ass about the visit right under the bus.
And I bet they’d kiss his ass for that, too.
Trump simply can’t resist throwing his sycophants under the bus.
But surely the leopard won't eat my face.
Trump " I don't know the rules or regulations there."
This bitch doesn't know the rules or regulations of anything. Fucking illiterate, fat, orange stain Tupperware bowl, asshole. I hope nothing but the worse for him.
Just like the Dave Chappelle skit where his white friend says "I didn't know I couldn't do that" and gets off with a warning.
It has been a response for entitled rich white people for centuries. People already here? I claim this land for England because I feel you are a savage, never mind your advance farming, irrigation, astronomy, etc.
Worse than that - we're going to steal your advanced farming, irrigation and astronomy, claim it as our own, then enslave you to work on these same farms with all the human rights afforded to an ox.
Historically speaking, white people - and I say this as one of them myself - have gone through and really extra fucked up the entire lives of basically anyone we ever met including all other white people. On behalf of white people across all of time and space - I'm really sorry, bro, that shit was super fucked up. Some of us are working to try and make that better. Unfortunately some others of us are still working to make that worse.
You could have saved a lot of words by just typing MAGA.
Where I'm from in rural Indiana it's not even a race thing. It's a class thing. There were no minorities where I'm from so the cops fucked with the trailer trash.
He wants to suck every dictator off. Trying to suck the dic out of dictators.
It's the dementia. Anyone that thinks he doesn't have it or doesn't think it's getting worse is kidding themselves.
He's been doing this since the 80's. Now he is just saying it out loud.
It's gotten way worse. He's always been a piece of shit asshole, but it's clear he has a serious health issue that's getting worse.
He needs to relax and let the reaper take the wheel.
I swear he manages to talk for hours and never actually say anything...
Yeah. When will a journalist call him out on this? Maybe ask pointed questions? Ask for clarification? Call out his rambling?
Journalists do occasionally, but it usually gets buried real fast since the "liberal media" wants him to appear not totally unhinged for reasons like being "unbiased" and maintaining a friendly relationship with billionaires.
The person in the article kind of does this a little bit but just seems to give up after the third or fourth non answer
I hope this haunts his campaign and refuses to go away.
Something should haunt him. without ignoring everything else, Donny's opponents should hammer on one thing, maybe this, until he apologizes and fires people involved.
We need to prove to the world that he's not allowed to behave badly without having to address it.
There already is, he’s single handedly responsible for more Covid deaths than were necessary because of the way he handled things. On top of it, he gave asinine statements about injecting bleach or whatever. His incompetence in running the admin while president is the single most damning thing that should keep him from a second chance.
Yes, this will convince his supporters he is unfit. Yes. This.
Biden got called out for rambling all the time (and it was pretty fair, to be honest). Why are Trump’s ramblings and non sequiturs not equally highlighted? The guy speaks like he’s reading a scrabble board.
Because Trump's been an idiot all along. With Biden there was a decline, so they could claim he was no longer competent. Trump was never competent, so any decline doesn't really matter much.
This is the only charitable interpretation
Didn't you hear?
Trump doesn't ramble.
https://www.mediaite.com/trump/rambling-trump-rally-crowd-listens-quietly-as-trump-explains-at-length-how-he-doesnt-ramble/
Oh, that's due to journalistic bankruptcy.
Because the 5 billionaires who own most of the media stand to benefit materially from Trump returning to office.
That trump is a piece of shit
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 Narcissist's Prayer
Everyone is thinking of it.
I'm a national disgrace without voting for Trump thank you very much.
The last two months have been a goddamn rollercoaster.
It almost makes me wonder if we really are in a sim and someone is just pressing buttons to fuck with us and see what we do.
We'll know for sure if we start seeing legally-distinct kaiju suddenly show up in cities.
Oh crap. A goofy mecha-bowser just showed up in my city. I must be in the SNES version.
The someone is AI.
Yes, curse those grieving families! Always trying to set up campaigning politicians and their cameras who just randomly show up to Arlington.
Honestly, I don't even blame Trump for this particular tactic. I blame his base.
They are all whores for nonsensical conspiracy theories. They literally reject the reality in front of their face for "pizza parlors are all running pedophile sex fight club franchises in their basements owned by George Soros!" type shit. If he didn't say it, they would and probably already did run with something similar in their echo chambers.
"Could have been. Wasn't. But could have been."
I’m still waiting on that video evidence that proves he is innocent. He promised it a few days ago. I wonder how long we will have to wait?
/s
And followed with infrastructure week!
Along with all the irrefutable roof of Dems election fraud
They are furiously trying to edit it to show exactly what they claim happened. Obviously, they didn't get enough footage to stitch together a convincing lie that doesn't make Cheung look like a fetid shitstain.
Newsflash: Old man Trump doesn’t know what’s going on.
Jfc, someone plz just staple that gaping hole he calls a mouth shut already. I cringe everything I hear him speak "were leading her in in the internet " my good bitch that's cause your videos are being passed around so we can make fun of you. Everything he says hes beating her in the polls etc, I immediately check. Not once have I found it to be true
What a weird little man.
He's not responsible for what his campaign puts out apparently. Beyond that, if he keeps getting pressed and he digs into blaming the family I'd like to see their faces when they continue to support him and deny the reality of the world.
they will
He really needs to blame Speaker Mike fucking Johnson if there was someone who set this up for him...
That fucking coward.
That dumbfuck probably lied to his own mother the day of his birth
Anyone dealing with Trump and his team should get them to sign agreements.
Sadly, that agreement needs to include both sexual, verbal and physical assault it seems
Trump is famous for not honoring agreements.
Yeah. But a legal document in writing at least would acknowledge that he knew.
He is also infamous for denying that he had knowledge of dodgy events
