Downvoted for the title. Not sure what kind of mouth breather trend that is, but it's not lasting

I remember a person on Reddit using this.

þ- th sounding /θ/ (think)
ð- th sounding /ð/ (the)

As to why... I hope OP tells us.

Quote me if I'm wrong but isn't this fucking illegal to have a private citizen act on behalf of the United States government?

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Surely this law will apply to him.

Nixon did it with the Vietnam War. Reagan did it with the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Trump did it with Putin in 2016 (and then Pardoned Michael Flynn for taking part in it).

Don't worry, I'm sure in a few years he'll be indicted, and then a few years after that there will be a trial, and then a few years after that he might be forced to grift his followers to pay a fine.

Shit, he probably won't last long before senility or old age gets him. Then we have old president JD to look forward to

On one hand, I agree with you

On the other hand, Jesus Christ didn't the Middle English fad die out in like, 2013 Reddit?

And you should be glad it did. Germans didnt get so lucky.

r/ich_iel and ich_iel@feddit.org STILL think it's funny not to use english words and instead translate them literally so it sounds like complete nonsense. ("Zangendeutsch") This joke got old like 10 years ago but if you use even a single english word you will still be greeted with "Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn" which means speak German you son of a bitch.

I just want good memes in my own language, but that community is insufferable.

/rant, sorry

This would normally totally annihilate a presidential run. Fucks sake, they were ended by a guy saying "please clap" or having a weird laugh.

But then again, only cultists vote for this man.

The guy is literally too stupid to stop hitting himself in the nuts. And then he blames the "deep state" for making him hit himself in the nuts.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

While you may think he's hitting himself in the nuts, polling says otherwise. I know, it's infuriating.

It worked for "Tricky Dick". He just didn't feel the need to go blabbing it to everybody because back then you couldn't get elected without at least pretending to have morals.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Worked for Reagan, too.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 year ago

Just as the classified documents case, this would be grounds to put Trump in military jail, instead of pussyfooting around a corrupt justice system he appointed a large chunk of. DNC being a neocon fundraising organization is pro Trump if he is more pro Israel.

Ahhh, a tale as old as Reagan..

If you're going to use eth I just wish you'd use a vowel for 'the'. No other consonants imply vowels in english.

Is there a real citation for this? Something that's not on Twitter? "The Daily Edge" doesn't even have a website of their own.

I'm going to assume these daily conversations are still unproven, unless someone shows me a better citation.

https://archive.is/11FfE

it looks like he Said he spoke with him 2 days ago, and a couple times. besides that, the "daily" conversations are extrapolated from him having talked to mentioning out how a few times just this week and him saying that "regularly" talk, as far as I can tell, or it's just referring to their near daily talks this week.

and the video does have him saying bibi calls him and talks to him a lot and maybe biden's going to drop a bomb on Israel so they don't talk to Biden.
