"it took a Democrat to release the names trump redacted in the Epstein files" - dog that hurts you in other ways

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This doesn't work. I tried. They just go "well no because" and pretend everything trump did was justified.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that's human. Many take the decision on an emotional level and then construct a narrative to support that decision.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The obvious answer is to destroy all humans and let our Furon overlords rule the planet.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Well, obviously.

How is loyalty to Trump treason to the genocidal white supremacist state of the US?

Good luck surviving on salty tears.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

It would be perfectly fine. Tears are isotonic. They’re the exact salinity of the human body. It’s the same reason why if you’re in the hospital they give you saline solution for hydration instead of plain water. That saline bag is the same salinity as tears. And your blood. And the rest of the liquid in your body.

That’s just extra electrolytes!

MAGA tears have what plants crave.

[–] florencia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

No they're sweet not salty

[–] bitteroldcoot@piefed.social 13 points 1 day ago

Nothing is tastier than maga tears.

Enjoying the suffering of others is the main problem with the far right.

You don't fight a thing by becoming that thing. That doesn't make you a righteous person fighting evil, it just means there are now two assholes instead of one.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

There's no kind way to beat fascists.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

That's just an excuse. It feels good to vent hate on a target you feel is justified. It's an awful part of human psychology.

You don't have to be kind and try to fight bullets with hugs, but enjoying the suffering of others is absolutely disgusting.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I agree. If you think about it, there’s technically only two types of people in the eyes of psychology - those capable of auto-reflection and narcissists. A narcissist avoids responsibility and has extremely childish behavior - refuses to accept personal responsibility, will cheat and lie more easily, as they feel justified, because the “I” always puts itself as “more”, and “better than the rest”.

An auto-reflecting person, the “did my actions negatively affect someone”, develops empathy. Empathy also makes you “see” things for what they really are. And what trump is, is an absolute pig. There is no other creature on this beautiful planet Earth, like the pig. It will go to exceptional lengths to bring itself pleasure, regardless of what might happen to anything around it, even the pigs’ own babies. He has developed skills that would only acquire him more pleasures and no lie is big enough, as he has aaaaaall the justification he needs - his fanbase echoing how amazing he is.

I am more afraid about that tiny sliver of time, between “his fanbase is still there” and “the entire world now sees Trump for what he really is” - that catalyst for Trump would be the final push to total insanity and complete lapse of judgment.

Your last paragraph is my prediction.

I think it's likely that Trump did his little executive order on birthright citizenship giving him the imaginary power to declare that citizens born from an immigrant parent from a place he decides is his enemy can be stripped of citizenship and the DoJ working up something to nullify birthright citizenship are plans for if the Democrats sweep the midterms and take back control of Congress.

If/when that happens I imagine that Trump will very quietly sign an official looking decree that a lot of Democrats in Congress who were foreign born or had at least one foreign born parent are no longer US Citizens, and send a very large number of ICE on a surprise raid to abduct them.

It's unconstitutional, but ICE has shown it's fully willing to violate the constitution and is better funded than most national militaries on the planet. They'd happily do it. Then the Republicans are a physical majority again, and I don't see them doing anything against it.

If the people try to do something about it and start opening fire on ICE agents, that's when the insurrection act button gets pushed and he calls in the actual military. I don't think the military would be willing to abduct members of congress based on an unconstitutional decree... but... once it's civilians in a firefight with ICE Federal Agents? And they're called on to defend other Federal Agents against the "leftist terrorists"? And the majority of the New Congress and the Supreme Court all tell them it's the right thing to do? Then they almost certainly would.

I don't get this 'drinking tears' metaphor. Tears are bad, your 'enemies' are bad.

I get that you want to see your enemies cry. But if they pooped their pants from fear, you wouldn't want to eat it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

Bro jumped from drinking tears to eating shit as if the two were related.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Lay on the couch and make yourself comfortable.

Gets his clipboard and pen ready to write this hilarious story to tell his friends and puts on his best fake nonjudgemental look.

Now, can you tell me why your thoughts immediately went to eating someone's poo? It's alright, Apples. This is a safe place. I'm not here to judge you, I only want to understand so that I can help you.
