MODERATORS
 

Ohio Rep.Michael Rulli appeared on Maria Bartiromo's Fox Business News show to say he is appalled at Democrats' rhetoric, which needs to be "toned down." The Ohio Republican must never have seen Trump's tweets or Truth Social posts before. He should check in on that! Or when Donald said in Iowa in July that he "hates" Democrats, saying, "I cannot stand them." Or how about Jan. 6th, when Trump incited a mob of his supporters to attack the US Capitol to cling to power.

Rulli discussed the Charlie Kirk shooting, the only school shooting Republicans have cared about. The Turning Point co-founder seems even more powerful to Republicans after his death, as they use it to silence the opposition. His widow started fundraising days after his death, despite Charlie's $12 million net worth.

Brb gonna buy a gigantic sticker of Trump tied up and gagged to put on the back of my car to make it look like he’s in the trunk.

[–] StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sooo.... I'm to treat him with no respect at all? Gotcha!

Booing? Jeering when he talks? Insulting him? Lying about basic and easily fact checked things? Posting stickers all over the place, blaming President "Taco" for things that are not remotely under his control? Can do.

Sorry, my memory is a bit better than the average Republican voter, but I'm sure there are even more "respectful" things I've forgotten.

Fuck off.

Don't forget about the fjb bumper stickers and the whole "let's go Brandon"

Gaslighting is the conservative way

[–] DaedalousIlios@pawb.social 27 points 4 hours ago

Wow! Look at that: Republicans and Leftists want Democrats to do the same thing for once: treating Trump with less respect!

Trump was a slum lord too

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Probably, but I’d like to see the proof. And then show it to everyone else on earth.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

I'd be willing to accept a copy of a report by the agent who saw proof. The original will probably be too thoroughly contaminated for handling once the horrors of that job become too much for said agent.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 hours ago

Fuck it, magats never use proof so I’ll do their same dirty tricks against them

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 8 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah but they all do that so it still seems like a witch hunt to only go after him for it.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

Is this satire? You're actually advocating for ignoring pedophiles because there are too many to punish?

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 hours ago

The perpetuators of capitalism rape children*

  1. Boo Trump loudly when he talks.
  2. Call him Demented Don.
  3. Consistently threaten Don that you'll leave your post, reject anything he proposes regardless of how it'll help every day Americans

  1. Accuse everyone else in his administration of elder abuse
[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Pretend he's not wearing pants. Just refer to his lack of pants and slobbery pronunciation constantly

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Nevermind refer to him as sleepy or crooked in any official address as a matter of habit.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago

poopy diaper don.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Pretend? Hmmmm. I guess we should pretend. If Epstein were still around with a 14 year old girl, we wouldn't be pretending.

But I'd rather just pretend that he isn't wearing pants.

[–] primrosepathspeedrun@anarchist.nexus 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why does he spit so much when he talks?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

must be the cocaine.

[–] tal@olio.cafe 36 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (3 children)

Have Trump act like Biden did.

George W. Bush was a Republican president and didn't get anything like the flak that Trump does. He also didn't behave like Trump does.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 hours ago

Oh, man...remember when GW was the dumbest president, ever? Oh, if we only knew what was yet to come. Trump makes him look like a Rhodes scholar.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 19 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He did lie a lot and rip up quite a bit of international relations things though

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Freedom fries

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's sad that I want W back. It would still be a massive upgrade, though

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 hours ago

When I see old GWB footage I see a US president, trying to do what he believes is best for the nation, I disagree with him on plenty of stuff, but I don't question his commitment.

When I see current Trump footage, I don't see a president, I see either toddler throwing his toys (the US, the US citizens, and the federal government) at the wall and stomping on them, or a stupid spiteful man who is trying desperately to destroy any kind of liberty outside of the weird US conservative sphere.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 22 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Trump deserves the respect of a giant stinking turd.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 8 points 5 hours ago

Why should a giant stinking turd have any respect for Donald Trump?

I feel like this isn't true.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

So none then.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

So none then?

Why not go after his children and their various atrocities, scandals, treasons?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 8 points 5 hours ago

It's unbelievable how they've politicized and weaponized politics, it's incredible.

Ah yes, democrats have politicized politics. I swear, I've never seen a clip where Bartiromo doesn't look and sound absolutely sloshed.

[–] curiouschipmunk@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Pretty sure I saw a tshirt with "f* biden" (whole thing, none of the brandon bs) front and on the back "f* your feelings".

EVERY HAMBERDER IS COMPUTER!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

He can't be long for this world. So I'll pay the proper respect.

(Also, I'll likely open an asparagus food truck outside wherever his body starts corrupting. You know. For everyone who whats their piss to be extra stanky.)
