Strangely, somehow, almost mysteriously, the corporate news sewers haven’t promoted that position.

It's almost like wealthy people who own media giants want the guy who is promising tax reduction to win.

You mean “Mr. Brexit”

The party that loves the death penalty and wants to execute pedophiles and rapists, is shocked when Donald Trump, a known rapist of a 13 year old girl and a known rapist of dozens of women, almost dies from being shot

He didn't almost die from being shot, he almost got shot.

If he almost died from being shot, that would mean he got a severe life threatening injury from being shot, which isn't what happened.

I think you're taking this a bit too medically. A bullet missed his head by less than an inch. That's almost.

I'm not entirely convinced it didn't go right through his ear and out the other.

Almost died from being shot is still correct there. It was an inch away from killing him. He almost died from being shot. Also, he didn't almost get shot, he did get shot.

I love how a political party on the side of events such as Charlottesville and Jan 6 gets to now virtue signal about "being against political violence", with media pretty much staying silent and not calling them out.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I remember when J6 was first kicking off and the news was hitting the major cable outlets. One of the first things I saw right-wing shock jocks claim was that the rioters were Antifa, that this was a False Flag, and that they were trying to kill the brave Senators arguing for a full recount of a sham election that liberals had rigged in their favor.

It's always, always, always projection.

Wait, not like that!

One could say, he indirectly took his own ear off. Basically Donald van Gogh

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I remember reading he was likely covering for Gauguin by saying he did it to himself.

Remember, if he and his followers call for violence, it's okay, but if you do to prevent them from hurting people, you're a disgusting monster. Just like the ones who fought the Nazis in WWII instead of trying to placate them!

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Well you see it is different when it happens to us patriots /s.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Oh no! Anyway

One's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

Motte: "Oh, so suddenly the liberals are okay with espousing violent rhetoric? How is any politician supposed to go out and serve the public if they're all terrified of some far-left extremist TikTok brainwashed extremist coming around to try and kill them. Sounds like a bunch of George Orwell 1984 Communist Tankie violence like they have in China to me."

Bailey: "Oh, so suddenly we have to be Thought Policed by the Liberal Media and we aren't allowed to speak our minds? We can't express our 2nd Amendment Rights, we shouldn't rebel against Unconstitutional appropriation of our property, and we're just supposed to submit to the authoritarian hand of Big Government? Sounds like a bunch of George Orwell 1984 Communist Censorship like they have in China to me."

Violence is fine when done the thee, not to me

Would be funnier if the stock photo was a bit of jam leaking out of her ear.

I said, "For Me", not "On Me"!
