Yeah that was great how she just ignored his attempts to assassinate her character and deflect and she just kept on with reasonable questions. That one was definitely some covert shade haha

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I don't get why tf he attacked her, though?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 48 points 3 days ago (3 children)

She asked him about his controversies instead of pandering and throwing easy questions. Every reporter or interviewer who has ever had the misfortune to have to interview him has been met with hostility for asking "difficult" questions. If you're not praising him, you're a horrible liar out to hurt his "stunning" reputation.

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

I mean, in this case in particular, she simply read him the shooter’s manifesto and asked him what he thought about it. Trump’s knee-jerk reaction is to defend himself because he’s committed so many bad acts.

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah. I mean, he could just have said that it was the lies of a madman and leave it at that. But no, he has to do the moronic thing and show that it gets to him.

Deflect, Attack, Reverse Victim Offender

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

He's offended any time someone acknowledges the mountains of evidence that he's a pedophile. He thinks in terms of good / bad; Loyal / disloyal. If you challenge him in any way, especially on his most shameful misdeeds, he sees you as attacking him viciously. It didn't matter that she made no statement about it or even asked a really pointed question. Just acknowledging that those files exist and he's in them is seen as an attack by Trump.

That's what animals do when they're backed into a corner.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's because he's an arsehole.

I entered her, but i did not cum

Daughter fucker.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Throw Bill Clinton's sexual relations comment in between them - not for whataboutism, but because the rednecks are foaming at the mouth over the Clintons, and lumping them and Trump into the same group makes them uncomfortable af lol.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

not for whataboutism

It really is tiring to see people insist any critique of a Democrat is some kind of defense of a Republican. If anything, the Clinton impeachment should be a glaring example of how awful and hypocritical all these people were. FFS, Henry Hyde and Newt Gingrich were having affairs while debating Clinton's impeachment. Like, literally doing twelve hours on CSPAN railing against the thousand crimes and misdemeanors implicit in a blowjob, then hopping into a cab and driving over to their mistresses' to get pegged.

You don't even have to go to Trump (who was in the middle of cheating on Marla Maples at the time of the Clinton impeachment) to talk about Presidential infidelity or creepy sex shit. All these fucking gooners were doing it.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

Agreed, I just know how quick the rednecks are to "BUT CLINTON!!" in response to any criticism of Trump. Beat em to it by including criticism of Clinton with criticism of Trump and their brain breaks a little cuz redirection is their only card.

this is when the libertarian explains the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 13 points 3 days ago

100% thought he was going to say he was an ephebophile or just that he liked older girls like teens (because I don't know that he can say ephebophile or knows what that would mean).

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why do you think he was talking about you, President Orange?

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

That was amazing of her to say.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why is he smiling when he says it?

"The one most frequently associated with lying was a high intensity version of the so-called Duchenne smile involving both cheek/eye and mouth muscles. This is consistent with the “Duping Delight” theory that “when you’re fooling someone, you tend to take delight in it,” Sen explained."

https://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/data-science-facial-expressions-who-if-lying-321252/

This is an involuntary reaction and Trump isn't meaning to smile, but he is lying and his facial expression gives him away.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Smiling because he knows he is safe. Reminds me of how OJ Simpson behaved in the civil trial after he got off on the criminal one. Abusers always get cocky when they know no one can touch them.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Lol.

Remember when Nixon was the worst Republicans could do?

Seems like a fucking angel now.

And millions of dipshit losers will keep voting for GOP candidates. Despite the most blatantly obvious example of why we shouldn't that we're ever likely to get.

[–] justaman123@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Fr, he literally tried to get single payer healthcare and ubi

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Remember when Nixon was the worst Republicans could do?

Y'all really need to learn about Dwight D. Eisenhower, Calvin Coolidge, and William McKinley

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

And millions of dipshits bought into the "dont vote genocide-joe" Russian propaganda, so...

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 days ago

"I did not have sexual relations with that chi....err...young woman"

[–] NGC2346@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

"... because you're horrible people"

What does that make you then Diaper Don?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

You know who never has to say, "I'm not a pedophile?"

People who aren't pedophiles.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is so sad but very true.

Seeing the comparison just now made me think about the fact that Heritage Foundation was created in large part because there were many Republicans (even within Nixon's own administration) who didn't believe he was conservative enough.

There's even conspiracy theories that members of the intelligence community started intentionally bungling orders/jobs that they were carrying out for Nixon (including Watergate) to create public scandals and give him enough rope to hang himself.

So while it was a very big moment for America to see Nixon get impeached, the next Republican POTUS (Reagan) was carefully groomed before opening the door to allow the Heritage Foundation into the White House. This marked the beginning of the modern day far right movement and the creation of a post truth consensus reality by a president and his administration to control the American people on a massive scale.

TLDR: I shudder to think about what comes after Trump if Americans never pull their heads out of the sand relationship between wealthy conservatives who own corporations and the U.S. intelligence agencies they fund.

[–] Francislewwis@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

When people feel the need to say it out loud… it just raises more questions 😅

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 3 days ago

He’s not not a pedophile.

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Trump the non-pedophile.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

Clocks ticking

Yeah and I'm not convinced

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Both of whom enjoyed widespread popularity.

Because media’s just a thing, no one’s swayed by it.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago

Propaganda is one of the most powerful things on the planet.

[–] RabbitBBQ@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He denies it. Time to move on.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Move on from what exactly?

[–] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

I can get behind that
