I keep hearing people be shocked about that line as if he's serious and I seriously question most people's reading comprehension. Can they SERIOUSLY not recognize 7 year old level mockery when they see it?

The real news story is ANNOUNCING INTENT TO COMMIT WHAT IS UNQUESTIONABLY WAR CRIMES.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

Our presidents have been committing war crimes for decades. Unfortunately, it isn't news.

People know it's mocking, it doesn't matter. If parties were reversed, they'd be literally lynching Obama

Dude ate mustard and people lost their minds.

Actually that's not fair, they lost their minds because he was black. But still.

Don't forget the unforgivable offence that was his Tan suit

His gravest offense will always be the "terrorist fist jab"

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I would've been totally in favor of that criticism if it had simply been about fashion.

This 7yr old is smart enough to know exactly what the media will run with and how to manipulate discourse online

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 2 points 12 hours ago

Yeah no but if Obama said it in the same ironic manner MAGAts would freak out

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It could only be a crime if he recognized the regulators as lawmakers. He thinks (as a lot of americans) that "I have big guns, nobody tells me what to do" The issue here is that he is one man, he will die, but the country and its people will have to pay for his crimes for a long time.

I don't recognize the federal government's authority. Does that mean I can't commit crimes either?

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

E.g. Raping children is not a crime anymore

[–] DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Who the fuck said anything about raping children? Point being, just because you don't recognize someone's authority, that doesn't mean your actions aren't criminal.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Just pointing out that, nothing happened to him after being found guilty of many crimes, nothing will happen to him after him being known to rape children and nothing will happen if he just destroy the world. Because he is not a politician he is a bully and bullys don't care about consequences because those never come

Again though, they're still absolutely, indisputably crimes.

Thank you for calling this out, my god. I think that its actually an intentionally misdirecting spin that someone manufactured

[–] forrgott@lemmy.zip 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

Well, yes. It was posted by "Republicans against Trump".

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Oh shit good point

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works -1 points 10 hours ago
