Even r/Conservative thinks this is dumb. And they have a Charlie Kirk logo

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I wonder if trump will try to get one of his ice or secret service chuds to kill reporters who bring up his presence in the epstein files.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 9 points 2 days ago

And even when they're disagreeing with Dear Leader they're still fucking wrong and stupid.

[-] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

"Bad things are bad because the lefties will think they're right about bad thing being bad"

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The one thing they all agree upon is that they are not stupid.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 121 points 3 days ago

So we're down to just the one Amendment now?

[-] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 62 points 3 days ago

not sure which one you're referring to. can't be the second, they executed Alex Pretti on the spot for legally carrying a pistol. after disarming him. which is also a violation of the 5th: "nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure we still have the third

[-] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 9 points 3 days ago

No, the one that says ~~black people~~ corporations are people.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 28 points 3 days ago

The one that probably should have had a few revisions over time to bring it up to date.

The gigantic baby is having a tantrum again.

As always, the conservatives are projecting, since they love to call everyone else a snowflake, and yet, they made the world's biggest snowflake the god-emperor of their party.

Conservatives cannot deal with even the least bit of criticism.

Instead of a swear jar, have a When He Dies jar; every time you read a headline that is fucking goddamn infuriating why the fuck isn’t anyone doing anything about this meddlesome fucking priest Jesus fucking Christ and so many goddamn enablers I FUCKING HATE ALL OF T—… anyways, whenever you feel that after reading a headline, put $20 in a high yield savings account, and when he’s fucking gone, you’ll have two cent’s worth because OF THE GODDAMN INFLATION FUCK THIS MISERABLE PIECE OF SHIT.

[-] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I did a similar thing except instead of every time it was just once and instead of $20 it was $60 and instead of a savings account it was a bottle of champagne, and now I just get to think of the day when I'll finally get to pop it

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY, RIGHT HERE ON THIS TWITTER CLONE MADE EXCLUSIVELY TO HOUSE MY MENTAL ILLNESS!!!!

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 51 points 3 days ago

Maybe all news outlets should stop putting him on TV, stop attending his press conferences, and stop feeding his ego overall.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

they wont. they are addicted to him, because he brings in ratings and viewship like nothing else.

Its why he got elected both times, because he gets insane levels of coverage, more than all other candidates combined. because media has a vested financial interest in his existence in politics.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

its also why they tried desperately to manufacture controversy under biden, because biden was a boring president that wasnt committing 20 atrocities a day, so people werent constantly watching the news to see what the fresh horrors were, cause there were none.

Did he just manage to give an air of legitimacy to cnn/msnow somehow?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 days ago

Undeserved, imo. They have some good journalists, but overall, they suck too. Just not as bad.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

So, they must be doing at least halfway decent reporting then.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago
[-] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 3 days ago

CNN is conservative. What a farce!

[-] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

I hope that MAGA billionaire that bought it is happy now <3

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

I am the snowflake now! 🫲🍊🫱

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago

https://apnews.com/article/ap-lawsuit-trump-administration-officials-0352075501b779b8b187667f3427e0e8

So, AP had been in a lawsuit since Feb 2025 over their reporters being blocked. This is madness. A clearly violation of their constitutional rights. Rights that affect their ability to report on this administration. And the courts don't seem to care at all.

Of course the Trump will block others. There are no consequences for this guy.

[-] AlanWake2112@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

Ahhh. So Politico is more than likely a trustworthy news source. Good to know.

[-] taguebbe@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago

It's owned by Springer, so no.

They should all get together and agree to not cover anything about Trump for two weeks, see how he reacts then.

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

My theory is that if nodoby says his name for 24h he will fade away.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

My theory is that if nodoby says his name for 24h he will fade away.

Or he will just keep getting louder and more unhinged until it's impossible to ignore the insanity.

[-] Lucky_Acid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh, he definitely believes that if people aren't talking about he is dead. That's why he doesn't even care if it's positive or negative, no press is bad press for him (he learned that well from Roy Cohn).

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

No they should cover his crimes 24/7 as they always should have been doing.

The MM is as corrupt as the orange pedo.

[-] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He wouldn't notice. I doubt he even watched fox news. He's gone mentally.

His staff and cabinet are behind the ban. The only time Trump hears bad news is when a reporter asks him to comment on the bad news. Now he'll hear nothing but sunshine and rainbows; he's completely isolated from anything that's real.

Things are going to nose dive quick.

[-] Stolas@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Surprised it took this long.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 4 points 2 days ago

Normale greatest-democracy-in-the-world+behaviour

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

At least we don't have that arrogant laughing brown lady.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 17 points 3 days ago

Fine, all that they really need to run is one headline every day: "Dementia Grandpa Says Some Stupid Shit." It's evergreen.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

I can only guess they must be ready to release a scandalous tidbit from the trump/epstein files so he reverted back to his "Look!! Over there!!" management style.

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Good, there's no better indicator of weakness and intellectual disability than demanding to live in a hug box, free from criticism.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Every day that ends in a Y, the stupid PoS geriatric moron pedophile says another stupid thing...

I can't wait for a different type of day to come. Don't even have to say what type.
