He said himself, in early 2016 I think, that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and he wouldn't lose any votes.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

But why is that actually? It baffles me.

Sexism.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago

There is more to it than that. It definitely plays a part though.

Because Republicans have chosen Trump as the leader of their in-group, and everything they say and do is just sound bytes for getting him in power and abusing the out group, no matter how inconsistent, hypocritical, or false it is. They don't actually think what they mock the left for is bad, but if they can use it to justify being against them, they'll use it.

Has he not literally been doing that? I've been seeing articles about how much he looks up to Hitler. And he quotes him. He's not being subtle, at least.

Downvoted for the title. Not sure what kind of mouth breather trend that is, but it's not lasting

I remember a person on Reddit using this.

þ- th sounding /θ/ (think)
ð- th sounding /ð/ (the)

As to why... I hope OP tells us.

Quote me if I'm wrong but isn't this fucking illegal to have a private citizen act on behalf of the United States government?

[-] [email protected] 74 points 7 months ago

Surely this law will apply to him.

Nixon did it with the Vietnam War. Reagan did it with the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Trump did it with Putin in 2016 (and then Pardoned Michael Flynn for taking part in it).

[-] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

Add it to the pile. He's above the law

[-] [email protected] 84 points 7 months ago

Don't worry, I'm sure in a few years he'll be indicted, and then a few years after that there will be a trial, and then a few years after that he might be forced to grift his followers to pay a fine.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Shit, he probably won't last long before senility or old age gets him. Then we have old president JD to look forward to

On one hand, I agree with you

On the other hand, Jesus Christ didn't the Middle English fad die out in like, 2013 Reddit?

[-] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago

And you should be glad it did. Germans didnt get so lucky.

r/ich_iel and [email protected] STILL think it's funny not to use english words and instead translate them literally so it sounds like complete nonsense. ("Zangendeutsch") This joke got old like 10 years ago but if you use even a single english word you will still be greeted with "Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn" which means speak German you son of a bitch.

I just want good memes in my own language, but that community is insufferable.

/rant, sorry

This would normally totally annihilate a presidential run. Fucks sake, they were ended by a guy saying "please clap" or having a weird laugh.

But then again, only cultists vote for this man.

The guy is literally too stupid to stop hitting himself in the nuts. And then he blames the "deep state" for making him hit himself in the nuts.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

While you may think he's hitting himself in the nuts, polling says otherwise. I know, it's infuriating.

It worked for "Tricky Dick". He just didn't feel the need to go blabbing it to everybody because back then you couldn't get elected without at least pretending to have morals.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

Worked for Reagan, too.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 7 months ago

Just as the classified documents case, this would be grounds to put Trump in military jail, instead of pussyfooting around a corrupt justice system he appointed a large chunk of. DNC being a neocon fundraising organization is pro Trump if he is more pro Israel.

[-] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago

Ahhh, a tale as old as Reagan..

[-] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago

As old as Nixon!

If you're going to use eth I just wish you'd use a vowel for 'the'. No other consonants imply vowels in english.

People seem to also be ignoring that this entire conflict is a direct consequence of Trump assassinating Soleimani.

Is there a real citation for this? Something that's not on Twitter? "The Daily Edge" doesn't even have a website of their own.

I'm going to assume these daily conversations are still unproven, unless someone shows me a better citation.
