"Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved," he wrote. "Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos."

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell died in 1950, you either have the wrong year or wrong attributed personality. /s

JFC. The projection is so "on-the-nose", it's laughable. It's like the most basic game of word swap possible.

Taxpaying

Last I checked, the people buying our elections have many methods to avoid paying the taxes they should be.

The shit gets wilder and wilder, and yet I know there'd still be a dwindling percentage of people that believes it.

Like, eventually the claim is so absurd, it's hard to fathom any individual to not immediately disregard it. But even then, there'd be some dumb ass saying, "Ya know what? It's just as Trump says, this is because Thomas Jefferson was a gay panda robot that still controls us from his statue and the Dems are protecting him!"

I think that there's some pretty heavy lifting done by self-segregation into news sources. There are a relatively-small number of Republican-leaning sources.

https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2025/06/10/the-political-gap-in-americans-news-sources/

Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party are much more likely than Republicans and GOP-leaning independents to both use and trust a number of major news sources. These include the major TV networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), the cable news networks CNN and MSNBC, major public broadcasters PBS and NPR, and the legacy newspaper with the largest number of digital subscribers, The New York Times.

Republicans, meanwhile, are much more likely to distrust than trust all of these sources. A smaller number of the sources we asked about are more heavily used and trusted by Republicans than Democrats, including Fox News, The Joe Rogan Experience, Newsmax, The Daily Wire, the Tucker Carlson Network and Breitbart.

Fox News only really has competition on the further right for TV news, from Newsmax and One America News Network. I'm actually kind of surprised that there hasn't been a challenger from the center-right side.

crank0271@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 211d (1 reply)

One could argue that the sources you listed (broadcast and cable news networks, major outlets like the New York Times, etc.), are the center-right.

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 211d

^ This. The center-right is quite well-represented within the media landscape.

potatogamer@ttrpg.network · 2 pts · 210d

Most of the people who believe it are stuck in their own echo chamber where anything Trump says is gospel and questioning him is blasphemy.

thats why they have to constantly repeat it on fox and grifters, the victim did this to deserve it, 100 different ways.

The Nuremberg trials established clearly that following orders is no defence and that the people at the top are responsible for. All the way to the top as if they pulled the trigger.

tempest@lemmy.ca · 17 pts · 211d (2 replies)

Yeah... But there was a decade between the night of long knives and those trials

CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 210d (1 reply)

And only a couple hundred people were convicted. That amounts to 0.9% of just ICE agents alone.

Unfortunately you can't gut a countries bureaucracy and also make it strong enough to resist the Soviets at the same time.

The allies cared more about the Russians at the end of the war than they did about punishing people for atrocities already committed.

Now if you'll excuse me, Stephen Miller needs to change my diaper again.

andallthat@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 209d (1 reply)

But that wasn't a mistake! I'm shitting myself on purpose so Miller can do the one thing he's good at.

minorkeys@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d

I have good shits, great shits. Might even be the greatest shits. The doctors once told me my shits were perfect...still are. The radical left wishes they could shit like me, it's why they're so mad, they're constipated.

Yeah, that’s what “ensued” means. Good tweet, moron

There is nothing they won't blame the democrats for.

FanciestPants@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 210d

Somehow, the democrats shat my pants.

A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 210d (9 replies)

I'm fully expecting him to blame the democrats for shitting in his diaper at this point.

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online · 5 pts · 210d (8 replies)

Didn't he literally shit his pants at a meeting with leaders?

Revan343@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 210d

No, the Democrats shit his pants in a meeting, keep up

Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 210d (6 replies)

Nope he did not. It wasn't a meeting it was multiple meetings over the last few years he's done it. If memory serves he did it at something in France which made nobody want to be close to him.

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online · 3 pts · 210d (5 replies)

So he shit himself multiple times already?

Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 209d (4 replies)

Someone with enough time on their hands could probably make a wikipedia article breaking down times he publicly shit himself by era. Second term, biden years, first term, and pre first term. There were roomers he simetimes wore diapers during the filming of the apprentice. Multiple is an understatement.

A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 209d (2 replies)

Havent people from the apprentice gone on the record as to the fact that he would regularly shit himself and need to be cleaned up, and that it would stink up the entire set?

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online · 3 pts · 209d

Are you fucking kidding me?

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online · 3 pts · 209d

Wait... the apprentice? He shat himself that far back?

pelespirit@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 211d (1 reply)

Is this blackmail or extortion? I always forget how they're different. "Why won't you let me cheat? I'm the king."

Trump said he's asking Congress for "immediate" legislation banning sanctuary cities.

Trump also called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and "EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor" in America to "formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence."

I’m frankly sick of everyone being shocked and surprised when it’s been blindingly obvious what the goal was since 2021-01-06.stop fucking appealing to his better nature. He doesn’t have one.

I blame Trump for what happened in Minnesota recently. RIP Alex Pretti. RIP Renee Nicole Good. Seriously!

Trump's only partially to blame. It's all the other fucking republicans that put him there that are to blame.

What about the more liberal Republicans (like Mitt Romney for example)?
