If Obama did it would you say it was respectful or to be an asshole?

That's the difference here.

The what if the roles were reversed test always exposes how selective outrage can be.

The riots would be insane. Republicans love violence.

Violence is wicked cool! -MAGA

In a tan suit eating irregular mustard .. the world would explode

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The funniest thing about the tan suit is that there’s dozens of pictures of Reagan, Carter and other presidents wearing tan suits through the years

He made the mistake of being black

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago

Classic mistake in America smh my head

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 46 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck that what would have happened if Biden had talked about another mans dick for 15 minutes or just started dancing, but trump gets a pass. I still don't know how that wasn't bigger news.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is what fascism is, when the followers (Fox) want to give dear leader their power.

And the rest of you fight among yourselves while the fascists run away with it

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

I missed that one but at this point nothing surprises me anymore

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 98 points 15 hours ago (17 children)

It’s extremely important to remember and talk widely about the republican capture of US media - this is exactly the point

They scream and scream for weeks about nothing, then bury the real news. It could be the path to fixing america

We need pirate radio

We need pirate radio

You don’t even need to be licensed for Citizen’s Band. Get started today!

We need pirate radio

Eh, what? In the old days, the means of mass communication were limited or expensive, so sure stuff like pirate radio made sense.

But nowadays, anybody can start an Internet radio station for very little money. Or a YouTube channel or whatever. The problem is people not listening, not that they are prohibited or prevented from listening to you.

That means nothing when the search engines and algorithms don't let them show up.

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Well, yes. But how would a pirate radio be any better?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 hours ago

No idea, but the youtube and internet radio aren't solutions either.

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 8 hours ago

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

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Dude ate mustard and people lost their minds.

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

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

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

Praise his noodliness.

[–] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 17 points 15 hours ago

When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 43 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Someone again made bank on polymarket. I think he’s doing it on purpose.

[–] night_petal@piefed.social 31 points 17 hours ago

At this point, it isn't even an "I think" anymore. It's just blatant.

And, you know, the F-bomb.

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

Not trying to rag on you specifically OP but I’m sick of these “whAT iF A DemOCRAt Did ThIS?” posts. As if pointing out the hypocrisy is helping at all. Fascists and personality cults do not care about hypocrisy.

10 years into this I don’t know who these posts are for anymore.

[–] night_petal@piefed.social 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. This is George Takei. He is admittedly old, but has been through more than most. Once you are pushing 90, though, it's probably hard to do serious adaptation to political landscapes.

[–] jontree255@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah respect George a lot but I worry he and a lot of other old Hollywood liberals still think we can vote our way out of this. Maybe we can, but that window narrows every day.
