!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

From one of the most respected individuals to an absolute joke of a man in a few years.
He was always a "lie, lie and lie until you make it" kind of guy, it's just that in the last couple of years he's been doing it widely enough and long enough that the real results of enough of his lies came though and enough people started suspecting his words and looking at them more carefully and spotting the lying early.
As the saying goes, "you can deceive some people all of the time or all people some of the time, but you can't deceive all people all of the time" - and at some point, when he became more widely known, he seems to have gone from the first mode to the second and by now he's run out of time.
yea I guess at those times he wasn't very present in social media and everything we heard about him likely came from his PR team.
there were red flags. Like calling the mining accident rescuer a pedo and trying to insert himself in the rescue efforts.
see, havent even heard about this. when the frequency and exposure increases you start noticing. when was this?
