he says he's not dead yet

You're not fooling anyone you know!

I can't take him like that, it's against regulations

And why should I believe a liar like him?

expatriado@lemmy.world · 60 pts · 1y (1 reply)

we got a paradox at hand, since trump never says the truth

GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org · 25 pts · 1y

It could be a deepfake. A whole new class of conspiracy theory is now actually plausible.

I mean, I fully expect an administration as corrupt and dishonest as this one to spend the minimal time and money required to do such a thing for as long as they can get away with it.

Former President JOE BIDEN “wouldn’t do them for months,” he added. “You wouldn’t see him. And nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him.”

Fucking lol. You never fucking shut up about him health

I wonder if there's any republicans who can be swayed with "hey this thing we all agreed was fucked up when dem-aligned media was doing it (pretending the very obviously pudding-brained president is mentally competent after like 2pm) is still fucked up when Fox and Newsmax does it right?"

I had zero luck moving Blue MAGA to question their media, I suspect republicans will simply conclude Fox is leftwing commie propaganda and watch more Infowars or w/e

Yeah, but he lies all the time... Can we trust him on this?

fartographer@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y

In front of a door stands two presidents. One lies all the time and the other is dead.

stinky@redlemmy.com · 1 pts · 350d

It's easy to anticipate his moves because he has so much visibility. We know what he means when he speaks because we have decades of written and spoken text from him. We don't trust him to do the right thing, but we do trust him to be as cruel as he suggests he is.

On the contrary, some lemmy.world users however only have two posts.. it's much harder to trust their words because we don't know them yet.

He is not dead. He is the undead. The wounds, the incoherent speech. The first zombie president.

When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the halls of the white house and congress.

Why did you link a picture of people during covid who refused to wear masks?

Resistai@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Its still Covid. You can still wear a mask. It protects disabled people and reduces surveillance.

Still wearing mine. I get asked why about twice a day.

While I cannot assume I know jerkface's stance, what they may be saying is that it is not great to equate pedophilia and child molestation because many pedophiles seek professional and personal interventions based on their attractions. Often, they take severe measures to keep themselves away from children because they do not want to hurt said children. Saying all pedophiles are child molesters disincentivizes people from seeking help from psychological and medical professionals when they may most need it. Thanks for listening. Cheers.

jerkface@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 1y

Furthermore, MOST CHILD MOLESTERS ARE NOT PEDOPHILES, despite what our esteemed moderator might think. People don't assault children because they are fucking sexually attracted to children, any more than they assault women because they are sexually attracted to women. Read a fucking book once, moderator. Sexual assault is not about sexual attraction! It's almost always about power and trauma. Most children are assaulted by family members and other people they have a personal relationship with in a cycle of abuse and trauma, not some rando who gets hot for children. That is such a rare occurrence, but people have some kind of weird need to believe it's only practiced by people who are attracted to children. They live in a fucking cartoon world.

Do you have the power of speech?

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

do you?

I mean, your previous comment was less than coherent.

why don't you say what you mean instead of dancing around the subject?

RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com · 24 pts · 1y

That's exactly what a dead president would say.

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 20 pts · 1y

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?

It's Vance he used life steal on the Pope and is funneling it into Trump.

Only someone who is dead would come out so strongly against this.
Trumpstein's dead, confirmed.

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y

given his lies track record, that must mean he's definitely dead

charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 1y (1 reply)

People should just hold huge protests that simultaneously celebrate his death and call for the release of the Epstein files. Maybe his orange, fat monkey head would explode.
