The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. George Orwell, 1984

JFC. The projection is so "on-the-nose", it's laughable. It's like the most basic game of word swap possible.

Taxpaying

Last I checked, the people buying our elections have many methods to avoid paying the taxes they should be.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The shit gets wilder and wilder, and yet I know there'd still be a dwindling percentage of people that believes it.

Like, eventually the claim is so absurd, it's hard to fathom any individual to not immediately disregard it. But even then, there'd be some dumb ass saying, "Ya know what? It's just as Trump says, this is because Thomas Jefferson was a gay panda robot that still controls us from his statue and the Dems are protecting him!"

[–] tal@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think that there's some pretty heavy lifting done by self-segregation into news sources. There are a relatively-small number of Republican-leaning sources.

https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2025/06/10/the-political-gap-in-americans-news-sources/

Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party are much more likely than Republicans and GOP-leaning independents to both use and trust a number of major news sources. These include the major TV networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), the cable news networks CNN and MSNBC, major public broadcasters PBS and NPR, and the legacy newspaper with the largest number of digital subscribers, The New York Times.

Republicans, meanwhile, are much more likely to distrust than trust all of these sources. A smaller number of the sources we asked about are more heavily used and trusted by Republicans than Democrats, including Fox News, The Joe Rogan Experience, Newsmax, The Daily Wire, the Tucker Carlson Network and Breitbart.

Fox News only really has competition on the further right for TV news, from Newsmax and One America News Network. I'm actually kind of surprised that there hasn't been a challenger from the center-right side.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One could argue that the sources you listed (broadcast and cable news networks, major outlets like the New York Times, etc.), are the center-right.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

^ This. The center-right is quite well-represented within the media landscape.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

thats why they have to constantly repeat it on fox and grifters, the victim did this to deserve it, 100 different ways.

The Nuremberg trials established clearly that following orders is no defence and that the people at the top are responsible for. All the way to the top as if they pulled the trigger.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

Yeah... But there was a decade between the night of long knives and those trials

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Give us your voter rolls or else so we can start “disappearing” and “disarming” democrats

Now if you'll excuse me, Stephen Miller needs to change my diaper again.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

But that wasn't a mistake! I'm shitting myself on purpose so Miller can do the one thing he's good at.

“Look what you made me do.”

Typical narcissist/abuser reasoning.

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that’s what “ensued” means. Good tweet, moron

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There is nothing they won't blame the democrats for.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Somehow, the democrats shat my pants.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm fully expecting him to blame the democrats for shitting in his diaper at this point.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Didn't he literally shit his pants at a meeting with leaders?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 weeks ago

No, the Democrats shit his pants in a meeting, keep up

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope he did not. It wasn't a meeting it was multiple meetings over the last few years he's done it. If memory serves he did it at something in France which made nobody want to be close to him.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

So he shit himself multiple times already?

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Someone with enough time on their hands could probably make a wikipedia article breaking down times he publicly shit himself by era. Second term, biden years, first term, and pre first term. There were roomers he simetimes wore diapers during the filming of the apprentice. Multiple is an understatement.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Havent people from the apprentice gone on the record as to the fact that he would regularly shit himself and need to be cleaned up, and that it would stink up the entire set?

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 4 weeks ago

Are you fucking kidding me?

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 3 points 4 weeks ago

Wait... the apprentice? He shat himself that far back?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is this blackmail or extortion? I always forget how they're different. "Why won't you let me cheat? I'm the king."

Trump said he's asking Congress for "immediate" legislation banning sanctuary cities.

Trump also called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and "EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor" in America to "formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence."

They’re trying so do a political purge now, alongside the ethnic cleansing, so that’s super cool

"Stop hitting yourself" the older brother says to the younger brother

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Please won’t someone rid us of this meddlesome president?

I’m frankly sick of everyone being shocked and surprised when it’s been blindingly obvious what the goal was since 2021-01-06.stop fucking appealing to his better nature. He doesn’t have one.

[–] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I blame Trump for what happened in Minnesota recently. RIP Alex Pretti. RIP Renee Nicole Good. Seriously!

Cunty McCuntface bellowing yet again how nothing is ever his fault.

"And all those little kiddies I raped? That was their fault too. If they didn't want it then why were they so young and nimble...and so so."
"Sir."
"What?"
"Y...you are getting 'distracted' again."
"What. Oh yes, but it was their fault that I raped them... again and again and agai."
"SIR!!"

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't expect anything else from that fucking moron.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Of course he did. Nobody expect Trump to admit guilt, mistake, error.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, they're surely complicit. They just agreed to fund the ICE further. Any further killings will be on the democrats' hands equally as much as on the republicans'.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Someone fatwa that bastard.

I'm taking this shit.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Biden wrapped me in his dirty diaper again while I was ~~sleeping~~ listening intently to Miller!

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)
