They're too busy hiding the crowd booing him at the Superbowl

Bro

What in the fuck North Korea horseshit is this? This is genuinely alarming.

It's been going on for awhile now. There are very few major outlets not going along with this rhetoric. The few left that weren't, are now walking that line. We're in trouble, for real. I don't know how to say this any louder. We are in trouble.

Edit for clarification.

Yeah. I sort of tried to second-guess it within myself, like maybe the mood of the country is just that much different now, but I really don't believe it. There has never been a sporting event that he showed up to in the last 5-6 years that he didn't get loud boos at, and I think it's highly unlikely that the events of the last few weeks have suddenly made people love him again.

I also think the proliferation of stories emphasizing Trump's reaction to Taylor Swift supposedly getting booed, is another strong tell. They know exactly what they're doing. This is fucked, man. This is bad.

It's that, but also look at the headlines with all of the bullshit stripped away. It's fucking scary times. This is just for today.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, and it’s working. The concentration camp he’s building is right there sandwiched in a corner between Super Bowl bullshit and EV charging.

And he shut down the Consumer Protection Agency. It's actually shut down.

tay's "reception" is understandable, given her ties to the 'enemy'. i saw an estimate putting the eagles support in the stadium at 80%. when the lombardi is on the line, even big tay fans gonna put their team first.

the diaper making a big out-of-context deal about it was to bury the boos aimed at him.

I don’t think he gets boo’d too terribly at the UFC events he attends. Not that it makes this superb owl stuff any better.

Conservatives don't understand reality because all they are ever exposed to is The Narrative created by the billionaire elites.

The crowd shoulda dragged his ass into the streets.

Along with all his other fucking fascist friends.

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey stranger please be careful. Might wanna edit this one. Don't wanna give them any reason to come for you. - friendly socialist 🙂

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Nah. Fuck em.

I'm convinced messaging is one of the key problems for democrats. You cannot spend 10 minutes laying the groundwork to discuss climate change when your opposition can just shout "it snowed in Nawlins!" and effortlessly undermine everything you were trying to say.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

True. And it has been the key problem for going on fifty years.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Corporate news is owned by Trump doners. Never gonna happen.

They'll never do anything to upset their king.

Forgot about the part that those fired were going to investigate SpaceX for an explosion 3-4 days prior to their firing.

“Just do it in a dishonest way that absolves our side for the part we’ve played over decades of deregulation.”

The answer to Red MAGA is not Blue MAGA. Socialism is the answer.

The only counter to the firehose of falsehoods is with your own firehose.

With that being said, where were trump during 9/11? Where was vance and musk?

🤔 Hmm... very sus.

trump did 9/11

Any patriots out there willing to perform a "citizen's arrest" on these terrorist suspects so we can use "enhanced interrogation techniques" on them?

If they resist arrest, don't forget you have the 2nd amendment.

I wish it were that easy.

They’re too busy cleaning his diaper when he meets foreign dignitaries & heads of state as he relieves his bowels in front of them.
