he will target anyone discussing the epstein files, even thier own, aka KIRK.
Trump is such a fucking fragile snow flake.
(and a PEDO)
Real patriotic stuff.
Let me guess the response blind , asked where their from. They're terrible journalists, always have been ABC is a terrible media outlet. Some nonsensical distraction
Most sadly ironic response possible...and spoken without any hint of self-awareness.
Listening to this traitor speak is just exhausting. WTF is the hottest country in the world? This isn't Zoolander you twat. We are all miserable and the cost of living has skyrocketed since you got into office.
I hate that people actually believe the shit he says.
He means hot, as in, he's set fire to the economy, trying to burn it to the ground.
It's "we're living in hell" hot.
America is so hot, nobody wants to touch it.
Maybe the grim reaper should come after you Donny.
He's trying
God willing one of these days a camera man will have had enough and just beat the tar out of him with one of those heavy ass cameras.
Would be a fucking hero
That's too good of a way to go for that child molesting, rapist.
Trump is in the Epstein files.
He's a convicted felon who needs to be put away until he expires.
I'm going to keep sharing this until people understand what's going on: Narcissist Collapse
If you give him even the slightest pushback, he freaks out. The thing is, we need to keep pushing and pushing without letting him yell "Fake News!" or call a reporter "nasty." Keep pushing and he'll melt down.
Americans don’t know how to fight back. They’ll roll over and take it. Just watch.
As a German, I had to laugh at "NPD" as this is the name of the predecessor of the current Nazi party AfD, and this is just such a perfect fit.
Technically the NPD is the predecessor of the new outspoken nazi-party "Die Heimat" and not the AfD but the sentiment holds true
This leads to a breakdown which manifests as angry outbursts, irritable or defensive behavior, and verbal or physical aggression. ... It can result in harm to the person with NPD and those around them.
Uh oh
Maybe by like, I dunno, blowing up random Venezuelan boats?
Yeah... Uhh... Considering that, I think he might already be having a breakdown.
At what point will a reporter dare him to do it?
In the US? Won’t happen.
At no point, because they will lose their job and no one will care it happened.
We can dream tho.
Reminds me of the American dream, and like Carlin said: they call it the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.
“She’d probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. It’s hate. You have a lot of hate in your heart.”
The narcissism here is incredible - taking a question that is essentially about the United States Attorney General suppressing our supposedly most cherished protected right, and making it about his own “oppression.”
Hate is the civil war buzzword theyre pushing because Robinson used it so frequently. Theyre genuinely going to try and brand an entire section of the political spectrum as terrorism
Weird, I thought appeasing fascists made them stop attacking you.
Nice job, ABC. Guess that merger was worth losing all your credibility, huh?
Wrong ABC. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has not undergone any mergers.
ABC has been owned by Disney for decades. Are you confusing them with CBS who just went through a merger?
You're absolutely right, thanks!
ABC agrees to give $15 million to Donald Trump's presidential library to settle defamation lawsuit
Of course my point about appeasing fascists still stands, but it's important to have the facts straight. Much appreciated.
Reasonable discourse ? On the internet ?
Lemmy is a strange place...
Different ABC.
For the people who got paid, yes of course it was worth it.
We'll see. They still have to live in this world, and they were already rich.
I'll guess it won't have been worth it in the end, even for them.
Beyond this being another obvious step towards a bastard combo of 1944 and 1984, I'm once again faced with the same question I've had for the last decade: how the fuck can anyone hear this guy talk and think "yeah, that's a leader"? He has the temperament and vocabulary of a pissy 5 year old, the memory and general cognitive performance of a dementia patient, and the ideological consistency of a magic 8 ball.
MAGA are genuinely the stupidest group of individuals that have ever collectively organized.
It's the propaganda they have been exposed to. They believe what they are told but have a very difficult time walking through any logic that got them there (hint: there isn't any) especially in the face of facts. They will usually deny any facts that do not lead to their conclusion.
Ask a Trump supporter what core American values he upholds and you can almost hear their mind grinding gears.
They like him specifically because he has the temperament and vocabulary of a 5 year old. Cause they do too, which makes him sound "real" instead of someone talking down to them. They don't care about any of his actual policies. They don't care about what he does. They barely care about what he actually says. All they care about is he makes them feel okay about being ignorant and bigoted.
You'd think these people would be just the dumb ones doing crappy jobs but I've seen Maga types in high positions in engineering as well, boogles my mind that someone educated would make such bad choices and harbor so much illogical haterated
It has been absolute whiplash to realize this over the last decade. I used to laugh at the old carlin joke of "imagine how dumb the average person is. Half of them are dumber than that." I knew that there were a lot of idiots out there, but I believed that they were at least kind hearted idiots that could learn a lesson one way or another. Apparently I set the bar too high. I genuinely cannot adequately express how disappointed I am with my fellow countrymen every single day.
if it's any consolation, even more americans than that are just too apathetic (or too damn tired, overworked, and overstressed) to pay attention to politics at all unless it immediately effects them on a day-to-day basis
oh wait, that just makes it even worse
It is mind boggling how anyone supports that drooling moron.
how the fuck can anyone hear this guy talk and think “yeah, that’s a leader”?
Rich geriatric white business goon is the archetypical American Bossman. Guys like him are everywhere, especially in the scloratic journalism industry.
MAGA are genuinely the stupidest group of individuals that have ever collectively organized.
They hate their current system and they don't seem to care who gets hurt tearing it up.
You can call that stupid. You can call it angry. But it's horrifyingly effective.
Meanwhile, smug posting liberal hecklers and don't-rock-the-boat centrists are at least as stupid. And "The Left" - such that it exists - is either too terrified or too feeble to fight back.
Mustard Mussolini strikes fear into the heart of another enemy of the people.
Fucking red hat twats.
Each time I see new Trump video he looks more like Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz
I sure wish they'd hurry up with his obituary.
The Orange Nazi at it again. What a piece of human shit.
The reason I wouldn't call myself a free speech absolutist is that I don't think people should have the right to intentionally lie and mislead people from a position of authority.
The reason this is relevant is that I cannot think of an example of hate speech that is truthful. And the reporter's question was about whether Trump viewed hate speech as free speech.
All politicians making public statements should be considered under oath and subject to perjury charges.
