Oh is he rolling out free child care, healthcare?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Execution of child after birth.... Yeah I missed that talking point at the DNC.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 18 hours ago

The veil is so thin. That is a clear threat to women’s rights. This asshole needs to get squashed in November

[-] [email protected] 27 points 19 hours ago

Your face putting off women from having sex is not the same thing as getting them to not think about abortions.

[-] [email protected] 84 points 22 hours ago

Or voting, or going to school, or owning things or...

[-] [email protected] 32 points 20 hours ago

"...because we will make that illegal."

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

They’ll make being un-pregnant illegal.

[-] [email protected] 92 points 1 day ago

He's so transparent. The internal polling must be showing him getting murdered among women, prob worse than the national polling shows.

That or he's just stung by the implications of being unpopular with women.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 21 hours ago

You know what, fuck it I'll say it, the bullet missed because it knew it was too good for him.

2 inches away from a better world

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Trump is WORSE dead than alive. And even much worse if assassinated instead of dying of natural causes. Be careful with what you wish for. Do you think his cult followers are bad now?? How do you think they'll be if they get their Jesus-like martyr?

The perfect example is Venezuela. Go ahead, read about Chávez and what happened after he died.

I want that guy IN PRISON and stewing in bitterness til the end of his time.

My wish would be that after he loses this election - and I think would truly become unable to run again (because at that point I think almost everyone would be able to admit he’s too old) - that everyone simply forgets about him. His ongoing trials would get no more than a blip in coverage, whether he’s sentenced to jail or slapped with probation, it barely gets talked about. There can be no worse punishment from that man’s perspective than screaming into a void and no one hears him and no one cares.

This is a total pipe dream, but I am willing to turn off any news program, ignore any news link and not buy any newspaper that has an article about him if it contributes to ignoring him until he turns into an old useless husk and departs from this world. I wish it could be done now but people still need to be consistently reminded how dangerous he is until their vote is locked in this November.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 54 minutes ago

He'll never stop running because then all of his crime prosecution he can call politically motivated. He knows damned well he's a crook so its his best (albeit still irrelevant) defense.

[-] [email protected] 49 points 23 hours ago

I don't know what is worse, that he thinks women get abortions because they are sad or that he forgot he was president in 2020 when they were sick, poor, and depressed.

[-] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago

Yeah, they'll be worried about keeping their right to vote.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 22 hours ago

Which was gained through protest. Just felt I'd add that because I hear, even from some women, that they don't know what good protest does. I don't understand how people can be so ignorant. Standing on the shoulders of those that came before them yet completely pissing on their head!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Honestly some of these folks need to rewatch Mary poppins just for exposure to .000001% of that movement.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Gained through protest in a completely different time, though.
Today, the establishment has much better tools at their disposal to delegitimize, vilify and ridicule even big protest movements through propaganda.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Which just makes protesting all the more important. A movement isn't going to move unless it gets proper recognition, and that doesn't happen via Internet messages and lawn-side signs.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Raised by whom though? Who failed to teach these lessons to this generation?

[-] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago

Can you really call it a 'signature all-caps style' when it's nearly impossible to distinguish from any crazy person's online forum screed?

[-] [email protected] 54 points 1 day ago

We can call it the concept of a style

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, I’d argue that he’s not just some crazy online rando but a previous and possibly future president of the United States, which makes a teeny-weeny bit of a difference here.

I get where you're coming from, but he also happens to own the forum. and the fact that millions of actual “regular people” spend their days proliferating his garbage nonsense is yet another distinction between Trump and any other crazy person online.

In fact, it’s the proliferation of online propaganda that even makes you consider Trump to be comparable to a regular person in the first place when he is anything but.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 23 hours ago

I'm sure that's true.

I think people in China don't think about crimes the CCP punishes with the death penalty much either.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 23 hours ago

I know an orange turd I would never like to think about again.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

They will think of it more.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago

"Won't have to think about it" or "don't even think about it" if he's president?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

I play a game where I think of the dumbest shit to say when I think of a topic and I'll be he wins every damn time. Must be a natural idiot.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

If you read everything he says as Zack Brannigan from Futurama, it makes it hilarious.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Is that Zapp Brannigan's older, less charismatic brother?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

A thought crime is exactly what Americans need right now.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Change one letter and it's a decent pickup line

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I don't see it...
