    I hate the moronic way in which Trump speaks. It’s such a waste of everyone’s time and energy.

    Nobody actually listens to Trump speak because our brain cells don’t recover as fast as they die off trying to make sense of what comes out of his fat mouth.

    I hate it almost as much as I hate Dr. Brain Worm speak. RFK Jr always sounds like he’s got the world’s collective phlegm stuck in his throat when he speaks.

      Truth is we want to believe “nobody” listens to him, a lot of people listen to him. That’s why we are where we are. I saw a group of 60-70 year olds protesting his bullshit by my house today (small mountain town) and it was awesome. Granted, I live in California but it’s a majority red area and I think even those that did listen to him are starting to actually hear him. And they’re not ok with it, he won’t succeed ultimately. There’s hope here yet.

        I’m sure some people do, but not most.

        I unfortunately deal with a lot of Trumpers due to my job and they are never able to quote him or will say shit like:

        “HE NEVER SAID THAT”

        And you show them a video, news articles, etc. and they say:

        “THAT IS FAKE NEWS TRYING TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD!”

        And that’s what I mean by nobody actually listens to him.

        They listen to what Fox News, Joe Rogan, and other sycophants tell them that Trump said.

      RFK has a disease, he can’t help that he speaks the way he does. I know the fascists wouldn’t cut anyone slack over it, but I personally hate dunking on people about stuff they can’t change about themselves-- it’s part of why I’m not a fascist. Tbh, I hate hearing him speak, but it’s because it sounds like it’s tremendously painful for him to talk, and I wish he would stop putting himself in these situations that require him to speak. Apart from that, I also wish he would shut the fuck up and go find a field and stand in it.

        I have a disease as well, and RFK Jr wants to send me to a labor camp for it because he believes my disease is something I am choosing to have despite its painful disadvantages.

        Thus, I disagree.

        We all need to dunk on him as much as possible for the disease he has that he cannot change because vicious mockery is the only thing that cows narcissists.

        I mean, just look at Elon after he got bullied online playing PoE. Their own behavior turned against them is the only thing they understand.

      Lots of people listen to Trump. I was at a mall and an owner of the jewelry store was loudly listening to Trump. Last summer he was stomping out bugs that have taken over my area and leaving their carcasses for everyone to see. I specifically hope he gets what he voted for.

    I deliberately didn’t watch that interview because i knew that I didnt have enough liquor in the house to get through it. The more I read about it, the more i know i made the right choice. I would have been SCREAMING at the TV.

    We have to do something about this psychopath, and his henchmen. We are literally repeating Nazi Germany.

    Need better damn headlines. Begging is maybe only technically correct but doesn’t capture any of the emotion or self righteousness of the situation. He ordered and acted the fool. But it was chastising like “why can’t you just say yes? I’m so nice to you and this is how you return the favor?”

    I’m not very charitable to Trump, because he doesn’t deserve it. I watched this particular clip and I got big “technically illiterate boomer who doesn’t realize that any grade schooler can put ‘M’, ‘S’, ‘1’, ‘3’ on HIS hands in MS paint” vibes from him. That doesn’t give him a pass in this situation, it’s 2025, I expect the president to be vaguely aware of the technological capabilities of 98% of personal computers put on the market since 1998. It’s also possible, I suppose, that he’s aware it’s a shoop and doesn’t believe other people are capable of spotting it as being an edited photo; I can see him being a big enough narcissist to really believe that everybody else is really that stupid. I mean, I guess I can’t blame him, just look at his rallies.

      Trump now KNOWS that the photo is fake, but he is incapable of backing down.

      …much like sharpie-gate.

    I like when donvict says that (paraphrasing) “this is why no one trusts you”, referring to the media. No, only mouth breathers like donvict don’t trust corporate media for calling out blatant lies like these. Mouth breathers fell for the lie that the likes of Faux is news.

    The rest of us are suspicious of the corporate bothsiderist media when they don’t call out the blatant LIES in starker terms.

    That has to be the worst Photoshop job I’ve ever seen, it was like someone just slapped some computer font on a photo, and the letters are way darker than the rest of the photo. Like you have to be one of the stupidest people on earth you ever believe that photo was real

      I don’t think the letters on there were even intended to be faked as part of the photo. That’s the exceedingly stupid thing here - donvict seems convinced that the labeling is supposed to be part of the fakery and that we all need to buy into it.

        Yep, the editor was attempting to annotate their interpretation of the tattoos onto the photograph. I doubt that the thought that someone would be stupid enough to interpret the annotation as part of the original image ever entered their mind.

        But we’re talking about a real fucking idiot here with Trump.

    Fucking Greg Gutfeld on Fox News then reiterated and reinforced exactly what the interviewer said, that the letters and numbers were added as an interpretation of the meaning of the symbols, BUT then claimed that the interviewer said that the entire tattoo was faked in photoshop (not just the annotation) and that Trump was correcting him. Such a blatant bold faced lie that literally anyone who watched the interview would know. How the fuck do these asshats keep getting away with that shit?

    you are living the days when asking such a question is still allowed. If Trump stays in power, it will likely be illegal in a couple years in some guise of “insulting the president of the USA”
