2 years in and the worst part is how normalized everything with this administration feels. The human race is utterly fucked.
Oh yeah, it’s all coming together
I couldn’t resist, this photo reminded me of this character
dont bring more war crimes into this
heyyy no need to drag the Grinch like that…
We should use this photo everywhere. It is very flattering.
This is how my grandmother would always catch me lying as a kid. I’d have a grin for any white lie I told and she’d immediately know I was lying. I could never figure it out until I was an adult and she told me her secret.
How many times were you caught staging a fake shooting of yourself?
At least 3 times
I will never complain about my childhood again.
Just wanted to express my wish for people to include this person’s name in the title so it gets blocked by my content filters.
Can’t hide your head in the sand forever…
At this point we all know who and what he is and those that don’t never will.
Most people don’t live in the US anyway
Most people don’t speak English so we should switch to a more popular language like Finnish.
Suomi mainittu
You could’ve picked a language that actually has more speakers lol
I vote the Fediverse just invents it’s own fake language, like Esperanto, or French.
Most of the world sure is being affected by the stupid shit happening there.
Yes and our news programms report on the important stuff all the time. But I browse lemmy for enjoyment, and it being filled with US politics is insufferable
It’s actually your civic duty to develop an obsession, American or not. Because, remember, thats what activism is. Indeed how could we change anything by not feeding this black hole all of our collective mental energy?
Yes, allow your attention to be monopolized through your rage.
Trump bad. More at 11.
Being well-informed doesn’t require immersing yourself in an endless stream of outrage, nor does stepping back from that mean you’re turning a blind eye to anything.
There’s a difference between ignoring reality and choosing how and when to engage with it. Most of what passes for political content online isn’t a sober presentation of facts or ideas - it’s performance, manufactured outrage, and algorithm-driven noise. If someone wants to stay sane and focus on things they can actually influence in their immediate life, I don’t see that as sticking their head in the sand. I see it as setting healhy boundaries in an environment that’s often designed to provoke rather than inform.
People aren’t morally obligated to be constantly exposed to negativity just to prove they care. In fact, thoughtful action tends to come from those who can step back from the noise and think clearly, not from those who are perpetually consumed by it.
endless stream of orange
I just choose how and when to engage with reality, and leave out the blocking; you do this to exert control, because you feel out of control.
It won’t work, your attempt at control is a temporary illusion, because you’re trying to control others instead of controlling yourself.
Your blocking announcement is meant as an affirmation of control, but it is actually an announcement of your own weakness.
… not that there’s anything wrong with that
You couldn’t sound like any more of a self aggrandizing arrogant prick.
I like the path you’re on, but I dont even fully control myself. For example, I would like to use lemmy less.
You do realize this is a universal psychological trait, right? Just because they posted one photo of a smug little piece of shit, does not make this a post about he who shouldn’t be named.
Yeah. This post isn’t about that guy for sure.
Sounds like someone fell for the bait.
Tucker Carlson actually has this as well. This was pointed out during the fake Charlie Kirk “funeral” (the guy’s still alive, by the way).
the guy’s still alive, by the way
I saw him gurgle his last lie on video.
that mother fucker is DEAD.
prove me wrong.
There was some black line on his shoulder that looked like tape. That apparently made it look like he had a blood squib ready to go at a specific time. There was also a bomb that was seemingly placed on the microphone he used (weirdly enough, it was DJI). There was a camera that looked odd, though it was not a camera gun (I never thought of that), but allegedly a holographic projector, so the real Charlie would be able to go under a trapdoor that was on the stage.
That, and his mother was a “mental health expert” (there’s a reason why I put that in quotes).
I’ve seen arterial bleed out before. on top of that, conservatives couldn’t coordinate themselves out of a wet paper sack. the amount of planning and coordination a live event in front of hundreds, and streaming online to thousands more would have made this impossible to fake.
that bitch died on stage and is rotting in a hole six feet under.
Charlie “the human fountain” Kirk is alive?? Where did this bizarro conspiracy come from?
He’s a Jesuit. Jesuits, unless they’re taken down by witches or warlocks, only kill off the characters they play.
Bill Hicks did this to play Alex Jones (now played by Wil Sasso).
Can we be sure he didn’t just shit himself?
Maybe that orange thing was duping some mug and shitting itself at the same time. A double whammy of shitty shitness and sharty shartness.
Dumper’s delight
D. Trumper the megadumper, happy as a pig in shit
happy as
No one can tell me that Leavitt wasn’t desperately trying to avoid winking when she said “shots will fly”. That smug look on her face said everything.
They’re super confident and cocky in their incometence. And why wouldn’t they be? No one…literally NO ONE…has called them out on it.
You need proof before you can call it an inside job.
But, honestly if this even slightly bumps his approval, I’d be surprised
Kuleshov Effect
oh man he looks like a pig who has human features o.O
Getting “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" (George Orwell Animal Farm) vibes
The shooter was IDF
Trump sucks for all the reasons but I’m pretty sure that’s just the face he makes when he takes a shit.
As his T(rump) spot gets tickled.
Pooper’s delight
It went a-drip, PLOP, a-drippy, a-drippy 'nother drip-drip-PLOP and it don’t stop the droppin of the bad, bad, dookie, so much god damn dookie, 'til it be leaking out down by his feet.
Now what you smell is quite a mess; kinda like rotten beef.
“I’m shitting myself right now and no one knows”
(we do)
The rumor is he lost control of his bowels in the 90’s because of heavy drug use. He likely doesn’t know when he is shiting in his diaper until after it happens.
Everybody knows.
Everybody smells.
Shart at :34, then watch the blonde woman behind him.
Classic at this point. And the many stories from a wide variety of people about his smell. He’s a toddler in all ways possible, except that toddlers aren’t evil and pedos (obviously) and I think most toddlers could figure out puzzles that he could never do.
Society really isn’t focused enough on the whole Dirty-Diapered Don angle. It would destroy his ego.
And yet his followers would just start wearing diapers and carrying signs saying “real men wear diapers”
You should also know that if you are trying to apply this to real life, that you should probably go to therapy instead. Most people are reasonably honest and reasonably kind, and the best way to read people’s minds is to just ask what they are thinking.
You ok, mate?
Why would you think I’m not?
Good question.
I think in the first instance it was the overly verbose answer to a social media post. That suggests you either have a bit of time on your hands or you have very few people to talk to.
Secondly, the hints of grandeur in your comment. Calling out Lemmy users as autists. Weird to do that on this platform, of which you are also on.
But mostly, it’s that you’ve misread the social contract here, and that’s wild as you go on to tell people how to read the situation.
And so my question was genuine. Are you ok, or is there something going on that you need to talk about?
You’re reading way too much into this post
It’s just about trump being an asshole really.
Then why did you post it in You Should Know, or mention some junk pop psy garbage? If you wanted to hate on Trump, just make a shitpost in the shitpost sub with the title “I hate this guy”.
Why you gotta tell me what to do?
Most people are reasonably honest and reasonably kind.
I don’t disagree, but I stopped reading after that because this isn’t about “most people”, it’s about deceitful people and about trump. You wasted your time typing all of that irrelevant stuff for this post.
Unless you genuinely believe Trump is honest and kind.
Kind of a weird take, considering that the rest of my post was specifically written to address that concern
You either agree with the post or you don’t. And you don’t and I don’t have time to waste reading about “normal people”. I know them well enough myself, thanks.
Trump is not even human. I struggle to even type “kind” and “trump” in the same sentence. And you wrote a whole blog post about “bUt aKShuAlLy”
Yeah, I don’t agree that “you should know” (the sub we’re in and the title of this post) about “duper’s delight” (a useless pop psych concept).
I really hope you’re not lumping Trump in with that whole “most people being reasonably honest and kind” bit. Because, oof.
I’m not. But when was the last time you met Donald Trump in real life?
1993, unfortunately. He smelled weird and had a toupee then too. I didn’t know who he was as I was 12 or 13 at the time, and as far as I was concerned this fat man was blocking my way to get to my school. What he was doing outside of Manhattan, I’ve no clue.
I’m sorry for your misfortune
… What?
I’m sorry - are you asking me when I last met Donald Trump because you think that “real life” means only the people I personally come into contact with, and not, you know, things that really happen in the world?
Don’t worry too much, you’re all just the fun little people that live in my phone, even Donald Trump is in there!
Maybe if I shake my phone a bit you’ll fall into the same memory address as him? Worth a shot
See my edit
The thing with donald trump is that he WILL tell you just what kind of a person he is… and people will think he’s lying.
NGL, my first thought for the TV President is that this is just another staged event to rally support around him so as to bolster his sagging ratings… because ultimately it’s only about how liked he is.
He’s Mr. Popularity after all.
Kind of my point. You don’t need “this one weird trick” to know he’s a shitbag.
It helps. Every little thing about that pedophile should be analyzed and exposed.
The more evidence the better.
Most of the world already knew what he was way back before he was even elected for the first time. But seemingly it was not enough for most of the Americans.
A picture of Trump smiling isn’t evidence of anything. This might be the way he smiles when he shits himself. And if you want evidence that he is a con man, its not like you have to try very hard. This picture ain’t gonna sway a 3 time Trump supporter, lol. Just admit that you’re having an anti-Trump circlejerk, and I’ll lend you my hand. But acting like you’re outing him using pop psychology you heard about from your moms Readers Digest is top-tier smoothbrain. Gonna analyze his zodiac sign next?
lemmy’s demographic - terminally online, socially anxious autists who naturally have a hard time reading people.
How dare you!
I mean, you’re not wrong but you don’t have to throw it in our faces. lol
Truth hurts, doesn’t it? But we’re in it together
Good post. Well… good edit, because that first paragraph makes no sense. But I agree with the other six!
When Hitler so successfully lied to Chamberlain concealing that he had already mobilized the German army to attack Poland, he asked for a time-out from their meeting. With his generals who had been witnessing his most successful lies, Hitler went into an anteroom, where he reportedly jumped up and down with joy, and then having reduced his duping delight, he returned to the meeting.
