And yet no one died. Weird...

You know that's what Trump wasn't talking about, and thus what I wasn't talking about.

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What are you talking about then? His claim they were authorized to use deadly force?

I'm probably daft and missed the joke.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What are you not talking about then?

ftfy

[–] Zibobwa@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You both seem to be talking past each other. Funny thing about it is, you are both right about your arguments and make great points. Unfortunately, you both are arguing the wrong people. Fun!

?

Mine was an attempt at meta humor based on the op's negative inference sentence structure.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Maybe they were doing an attempt at meta humor based on people talking past each other? Idk, this thread is an impressive mess.

[–] Kadaj21@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Man I just out two and two together. FlyingSquid was probably referencing how no one died in the “raid” and seathru was probably referencing how a bunch of spies and other sensitive personnel mysteriously disappeared or were killed after Trump had that meeting with Putin and then asked for….spies and sensitive personnel info shortly thereafter.

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Seriously though, which one of y’all cuts hair?

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago

I got a flowbee™, lets do this!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Maybe its all an attempt at meta humor and all of us are talking past one another?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 45 points 6 months ago

They could have. We all know that the president can authorize killing his political opponents. I was told that was very cool.

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For all those who did not read or at least skim the article. FlyingSquirrel is referencing Trumps claims that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force when conducting their UnCoNsTiTuTiOnAl raid.

It's okay. I don't mind being a squirrel.

*Flying Squid 🙃

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

For those of you who are confused about what FlyingSquid is talking about, Trump claims the FBI agents were authorized to use lethal force.

I absolutely do. If someone had died, Trump would never have shut the fuck up about it.

[–] jaspersgroove@lemm.ee 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hell nobody died and he still hasn’t shut the fuck up about it.

The man has never shut the fuck up about anything, ever.

Well except for his currently underway trial that he was totally going to testify in, that the defense just rested their case without him testifying in. Because his lawyers know that not only can he not shut the fuck up, he can’t make it through 3 sentences without telling at least one blatantly obvious lie, and that is a generally unadvisable thing to do when you are under oath.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Unless Trump himself died, and now he is a double.

Edit: I think we should post this conspiracy theory on 4chan.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 6 months ago

OMG! It has to be some absolute insanity though like Trump died and OBAMA is pretending to be Trump so that he can get an illegal 3rd term. Their heads would explode lol

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Is that why his hair has been a different color recently? They couldn't match it on the double's hair? He has been looking a bit more gray.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

He won in 2016 and still brings that up
