“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” is now one of my all-time favorite burns. As maddening and inadequate as the press can be, at least they’ve figured out that Trump is easy to bait.

Shooters manifesto about the secret service:

This level of incompetence is insane.

Trump:

Well he was pretty incompetent, too, because he got caught.

LOL

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I heard that too, and chuckled.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Why chuckle? It’s the world’s biggest moron making anything up at our expense on live tv. It’s the worst possible thing, with the worst possibly price tag being paraded in front of our faces at the worst possible time. I got no chuckle

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Because chuckling is free and Trump tacitly agreeing that he's incompetent is funny.

Catastrophizing doesn't help the situation either, at least a chuckle doesn't blow up your own mental health for no reason.

“So what about this statement someone else made?”

“You’re a shitty person for repeating words and I assumed you were shit and so now I’m calling you shit to deflect…”

“Yes well uh gosh Mr president okay…”

Fucking incompetence…

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s O’Donnel which means CBS right? Which is basically Trump little bitch propaganda network now. Since he can fire Colbert because he’s Ass hurt, and he can fine 60 Munutes, also because he’s ass hurt.

It’s been real since at least the 80s. Imagine the busses full of execs and millionaires and collaborators who stayed quiet all this time to make sure he got where he is today. None of whom we will talk about once the chief pedo is dead.

Isn't he a convicted rapist? Surely that means he's in fact a rapist

Edit: thanks to all the people pointing out that he wasn’t convicted

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He wasn't convicted of the crime of rape because he hasn't, to date, been criminally charged with rape. He was sued civilly by E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation, and found by a jury liable for both acts. Which means the jury found that sufficient evidence existed that he did sexually abuse her even without a criminal conviction for rape.

The judge later clarified that the acts that the the jury found him liable for, forcible penetration of the vagina with his fingers, do constitute first degree rape under New York law. And first degree rape in New York has no statute of limitations. Were he to be tried for rape, the evidence in the civil suit would be admissible and he would almost certainly be convicted of rape. Weird that hasn't happened, but here we are.

So technically, he is not a convicted rapist as he has yet to be criminally charged and tried for rape. But he has also been determined by a court and a jury to have absolutely sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in a manner that constitutes rape under New York law. "Rapist love this one weird loophole."

[–] Snowies@lemmy.zip 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He paid her 78 million dollars specifically so that he wouldn’t have to take a DNA test to prove his innocence.

Hmmmm

Dude LITERALLY raped his ex wife.

Dude was convicted of sexual assault.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Sexual assault that the presiding judge said would have been legally rape if not for New York's strict definition of "rape" as involving penile-vaginal penetration.

He was determined by a jury in court to have sexually abused E. Jean Carroll too. While the case was a civil suit for sexual abuse (and defamation), not a criminal charge for rape, he was still determined to have committed specific acts that do constitute first degree rape under New York law, a crime for which there is no statute of limitations. In other words, he's not a convicted rapist, but still definitely a rapist, just an as yet unconvicted one.

How the FUCK, is there already a 60 Minutes interview about this?

They had weeks to prepare for it.

The topic was "White House Correspondents Dinner" and was planned way ahead of time. The reporters were just quick to adapt to the real story of the dinner.

Adjudicated rapist.

Openly speaks about sexually assaulting women.

Has made many very creepy remarks about his daughter as well as other people's daughters.

Is the single most prominently featured individual in the Epstein Files.

So it's 100% accurate to call him a rapist and reasonably implicated pedophile.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

one other notable daughter he made is toward a young paris hilton.

It's ok to say "rape" and "pedofile" on the internet.

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 25 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Not on the majority of platforms nowadays. AI Moderation and content-aware automated filters before that ensure that the nasty people that say things like rape or shit or cum or Scunthorpe get censored, shadow banned, banned, then HWID/IP range banned in that order, in order to ensure the safety of everyone online.

Pity they can't do anything about the CSAM, grooming, or nazis though.

[–] lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol I'm here because reddit banned me because I mentioned a murder-suicide case that was another commenter was trying to recall. Apparently I "threatened violence" 🤷‍♀️ is lemmy as as easily triggered? 🤔

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Just certain instances. There is no 'one' lemmy.' which is the entire point of federated services (despite what .world admins think).

Most Lemmy instances are fine for most discussions of most things. .World is by far the most restrictive and most like reddit and other zionist-owned and ran services. Because it is owned and run by zionists. See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for wide ranging examples and reasons why .world is insane.

In general this is the only reason you need to pay attention to the instance you're on. If you, as a .world user, frequently start posting anti-zionist rhetoric like 'Maybe we shouldn't kill children or use literal fucking rape-trained dogs on prisoners' you might find yourself banned or shadow banned pretty quickly.

Just like if you're too right-wing to understand why capitalism is bad, and you repeat neoliberal propaganda against socialism as a .ml user, you'd be banned.

The only really universal rules for commonly federated lemmy instances is no CSAM (ignore ani.social) and don't send death threats/hate speech (unless you're a .world admin and the target is palestinians, I cannot stress enough how much the entire lemmy.world admin team hates brown people native to the land of Palestine that are currently being genocided by the terrorist settler state of Israel and it's dog the United States.)

[–] lifeinlarkhall@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Ah yeah I'm still getting my head around the whole instances thing but good to know so thanks for that. I'd honestly never even heard the term of federated in regards to socials/forums etc before looking up alternatives to reddit 😅

Also what the actual fuck with those military dogs, sickening stuff. Very disturbing when humans are using other animals to humiliate and assault people like that. The dogs don't have the same understanding of what they're doing as humans would so, to me, that lays entirely on the people who are training and encouraging dogs to engage in that kind of stuff - the intention comes from the human. Ugh, that was a disturbing read!

Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist, so he's definitely lying there with that denial.

That doesn't make the entire statement true, but if it were false I suspect the Epstein files would have been released in full unredacted by now, as the law requires. It would completely exonerate him, if he had nothing to hide.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The moron doth protest too much

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hey, he didn't deny he was a traitor.

Why the fuck wouldn't he think the manifesto is referring to him?

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

To be fair, he thinks everything is about him.

"I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody." -- Donald Trump, Convicted Rapist

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

In his criminal mind, they can't prove it so he can lie about it but EVERYBODY knows exactly who they are referring to when they mention pedophile and rapist. Releasing the unredacted Epstein files is his greatest fear - people will die before he allows it.
