Thank you.

I reread it like 3 times wondering who thinks Trump is getting smarter, and why we’re worried about that.

Unironically, exactly right.

This is the same reason they see homosexuality as a sinful choice, and take issue with homosexuals just simply being alive. They struggled so hard to suppress their homosexual urges, and now these people are flaunting theirs, openly? And the rest of the world wants to celebrate this moral failure, despite it being something that everyone struggles with? I mean the mental gymnastics required to succeed in choosing to be heterosexual, while celebrating someone else who failed to do so is just absolutely insane.

You can see how this all logics together if you assume everyone feels the way you do, and you’re fighting an urge to do something you see as morally wrong. Obviously, abusing your teenage daughters trust to give yourself a mild sexual release is morally wrong, but the point stands. These people play the moral high ground card because they struggle with these thoughts every single day.

Make racists feel embarrassed again.

videos show federal agents apparently discovering and removing during the altercation that led to his death. Videos do not appear to show Pretti holding the weapon during that confrontation.

He died because he’s the kind of person ICE fears most: someone who was willing to defend themselves, and knew how to do so legally.

The first time around, in 2016, there were a lot of “Trump will be great for the economy” takes. There were many unknowns at the time, so I can forgive people who believed that then. By the time 2024 came around, anyone with a pulse - or anyone who hadn’t attached their entire ego to him - knew better.

Hey ICE agents: quit.

Well, I’ll be damned. He actually got something right.

Making fun of minorities, the disabled, and “locker room talk” about sexually abusing women? Totally fine.

How dare Trump openly mock a successful straight white man.

Fuck the Republican party.

I imagine it was by using their sirens.

Okay, what is happening to him is a humanitarian crisis, but they arrested him for driving without a license, not because he missed a turn signal.

What ICE is doing is abhorrent. We don’t need to exaggerating and/or lie to make horrifying headlines marginally worse.

Edit - Jesus christ, you all have some real issues with connotation, huh? Yes, he was pulled over for a turn signal, which set off the chain of events, but the intention of the headline is to connect the mostly innoculous act of forgetting to signal to the resulting deportation, when that is blatantly not the case. All the “UMMM, ACKSHUALLY, THIS REALLY DID HAPPEN” completely misses the point here.

Fuck me for refusing to just let it slide when media uses intentionally misleading titles to invoke extreme reactions for engagement, I guess.

Dude’s 79. Waking up and getting out of bed is a major medical crisis.

“quiet piggy” is unacceptable, but the country was totally chill with “grab her by the pussy,” or mocking a disabled reporter.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad America seems to be waking up, but c’mon. If this bothers you, but the previous incidents didn’t, maybe you should be re-evaluating your opinions.

So, they’ve been doctored and/or redacted to the point of not saying anything. There’s no way this sudden, absurd 180 isn’t a direct result of some degree of ratfucking.

“Trump blew Clinton” led to it talking about how he “blew Clinton away at the polls in 2016.” Every additional layer of specifity leads to another slight diversion. Adding “Bill Clinton” caused it to recognize that this is in the news right now, but it’s definitely not true because Bubba isn’t Bill Clinton. Telling it that Bubba is Bill’s known nickname caused it to agree that this is true, but Epstein said that “Bubba doesn’t refer to Bill Clinton.” (Epstein is commenting on these emails post-mortem? Maybe I missed something here.) Telling it that Epstein is a known pedophile sex trafficker with ties to these men and reason to lie caused it to admit that Epstein isn’t a reliable source for this, and it tried to dismiss the validity of the emails altogether as “contextually untrustworthy.” I then told it that a known pedophile discussing his practices in a believed to be private email thread is a reasonable context to consider the validity of his statements, but it was tired of me, and went “here are some more links on the subject. Any additional messages with start a new conversation.” This could normal after being 5-6 messages deep with this AI; I had literally never used it before to know, but it felt weird to me.

It is weirdly defensive about the possibility that this had taken place, actively omitting details to bias weird takes.

For extra fun, try posing the statement to Google’s AI mode and watch it try to pretend this isn’t in the news right now, and then make up lies to protect Trump, until it realizes it can’t a suddenly kills the conversation.

I’m not convinced it is obviously a joke. It would explain a LOT.

“All brown people are terrorists” is probably not the take to pull voters from Mamdani. The racists already weren’t voting for him.

You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become a hero.

…wait a second.

God, this timeline is fucking weird.

Why the fuck is Trump saying anything? Doesn’t he have a job to do? A golf course to play? A pussy to grab? When’s the last time a president was the primary source of information on a school shooting incident?

I mean, I’m not “thrilled.” Taking out the trash isn’t something to celebrate. You just do it, and then you move on with a cleaner home.
