I was listening to a podcast and the host just factually read out the things Trump has been convicted for and has been found to have done throughout the years. It's insane! Enough shitbaggery to take down an 18th century European monarch, but Trump somehow just gets a pass on all of it, wtf?! Has this guy made a pact with Satan or what?

He stole money from cancer kids!! How does anyone politically survive that??

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago

He survived because America is the country of incarceration and heavy punishment, and he recieved none of that. Therefore what he has done was apparently not that bad.

I'd argue that this is an example of 2 tier justice a d should make people mad as hell, but here we are.

It's been a long game to get to this point, but the conservatives I know are completely isolated from reality at this point. They ONLY watch X and newsmax...Fox is too liberal for them these days.

All that douchbaggery has been scrubbed away in a very effective and sophisticated social engineering campaign over the last decade or so.

The cult leader can do no wrong.

...so it's a good thing my grandparents only watch Fox News and haven't moved into further bullshit? What a fun world to be living in now.

Propaganda and dumb people listening to only what dumb media has to say.

This is exactly why people are trying to kill him. If the system refuses to incapacitate him, the people will find a way.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 10 points 9 months ago

The people who have tried so far seem to be right wingers more interested in making a name for themselves than any ideological motive.

Those of us who already have dancing shoes for whenever his arteries finally finish the job aren't exactly looking forward to making him a martyr for President Vance to use either.

Yeah, Reductress is a feminist spin on The Onion and they are not pulling punches.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

A lot of Boy moms out there found this similarly reassuring. “My son sucks, and I was worried his inherently entitled personality and lack of boundaries would really hurt his life trajectory,” said Tyler’s mom, Jeanne McArthur. “Nice to know nothing can hold him back!”

They came after Boy moms and killed it. I'm in love with them now.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I'm a dude but holy crap Reductress is hilarious. Bookmarked.

I thought of a few fantastic Onion headlines and was tempted to write them but they all made me deeply sad.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh come on now! You can’t say that without sharing. We want to be deeply sad too!

Oh, they mean the rapist in chief.

It think they meant Jeffrey Epstein ( the most notorious pédophilie of the century ) closest friend.

I wish this were Onion material instead of fact :(
