MODERATORS
In this case, the post was asking for people's expectations regarding this story specifically, and the response is entirely valid. It's very reasonable to think that this one news story isn't likely to be the tipping point.
It's different when people reply to every story that is in any way bad for Trump with a comment about how none of it matters, nothing will change, and no one cares. As though anything that doesn't result in Trump being immediately impeached, incarcerated, or inhumed is completely worthless. Much like how sit ups are useless because no matter how many I do today, I still won't have a six pack when I'm done.
All those comments do is demoralize people and discourage them from trying to support opposition to Trump in any way.
To reiterate the question you didn’t answer:
Are they wrong, though??
Because the question is not what should happen but about what you think will (likely) happen.
Based on the past this answer is the most likely by a huge margin even if depressing.
Delusional people expect everyone to be delusional with them. "3 days after SNAP is cut there will be revolution in the USA!". Yeah, for sure buddy.
Well, what are they waiting for?
this is a you problem, sorry. that is the appropriate response to repeated patterns of inaction and no accountability. you would rather, what, be stupidly optimistic because it makes you feel good? too bad lol this is reality.
If you (the American people) don't hold your politicians accountable for what they do, no one else will
Look, man. If any of us did 1% of Trump's crimes, we'd be in prison... So there's that.
They aren't wrong, haven't you been paying attention? I doubt there'll even be the 30 seconds.
I think they'll talk about it in the news, just nothing will be done about it
Unfortunately this is the sad reality we live in. Trump could outright admit it himself on national broadcast, and his cult would still follow him.
If you think that “defeatist” comment is wrong, check back in after a few days, let me know how that turns out. I hope for everyone’s sake you are correct, but I doubt it
Last I checked everyone just found out trump was blowing bill. So...what day is it?
Has he faced any repercussions?
No?
Let’s check in after the next update, when he gets away with it again.
To be fair, I don't think he should face any repercussions for blowing Bill.
The other stuff though...
What is it our business what two, consensual, presidents do in the privacy of their pedo sex island?
Starting a sentence with "unfortunately" carries a 90% risk of being a gigantic pussy-ass bitch who doesn't have the guts to acknowledge internal weakness and has yet to infuse it with strength.
You carry a 90% risk of sucking my nuts
It's only defeatism if you refuse to adapt and escalate to stop it from being true.
Because I'm tired of this illegitimate felon squatter in the White House getting away with all this bullshit and any time he "takes a loss" all he has to do is nothing.
Court orders mean jack shit if he can just ignore them and have no consequences. I don't even k ow why they're so scared of this Epstein stuff. Like they'll have any real consequences? What's gonna happen, a strongly worded letter of disapproval?
"Loss" after "loss", and no consequences that mean anything. It's hard to have faith when this happens over and over again.
Seeing as the commenter is Norwegian, there is not more for them to do than to nod unsurprisingly at the news and encourage everyone to divert faster away from everything US made to hit carrot top where it hurts.
LOL, good shitpost
Got me, ngl.
Asked what people think
"No not like that"
Because "Both Sides Bad" and "Nothing Ever Changes Except to Get Worse" is how jaded dumdums get through the day, I don't know what to tell you lol
As a jaded dumdum, that is exactly how I get through my day
Needs text alternative.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not.
Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can't
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- some users can't read this due to lack of alt text
- users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can't explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don't know the image hasn't been tampered
- searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if image breaks.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
Question asked & answered. Dislikes answer.
Reddit, gross.
Don't get angry.
Eviscerate the badness of the ideas.
Sure would like to. Need some help tho.
Because Trump keeps getting away with heinous crimes, why would this time be any different? I want to be wrong. Please explain to me who will prosecute him, tell me what steps will be followed.
