    Everybody buckled in for at least 3 and a half more years of headlines that everyone already knows and nobody will do anything about?

      MAGA after Trump:

      Calls his own daughter hot - “We don’t care”

      Walking into a change room of underage girls and bragging about it - “We don’t care”

      Blatant Fraud - “We don’t care”

      Blackmail - “We don’t care”

      Sexual Assault - “We don’t care”

      Rape - “We don’t care”

      And now we can definitively add:

      Openly protecting a pedophile and pedophile ring - “We don’t care”

      🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️ 🤷

    Reached for comment, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, said, “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of shit and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

    Very cordial and presidential

      The instant someone says Trump Derangement Syndrome, I assume they are either a moron or acting in bad faith, or both

      The counter to TDS is TCD (Trump Cuckold Derangement).

      Main characteristic is the ardent belief that Trump will love the person after continued engagement on one’s knees.

      All of these descriptors aptly describe Steven Cheung. I don’t know why anyone contacts him for anything. He just produces substanceless verbal diarrhea. You can just not talk to a “communications director” as a journalist.

    Would not be surprised if the camera outside her cell has a time skip just before she un-alives herself…

      un-alives herself

      For fuck’s sake. This is not baby’s first Miiworld, this is not club penguin. Say kills. Say commits suicide. Say hangs/gets strangled/finds a gun under her bed and blows her brains out, spraying chunks of bone blood and flesh on the concrete. Say murder when you see murder, say genocide when you see genocide. Words have meaning.

      You can use the correct words on the Fediverse. If anyone doesn’t want to see the word “suicide” they can filter it out. Tumblr got this right twenty years ago and modern social media has been beating newspeak out of previously fully communicative human beings. I swear to fuck I would rather have every single comment on Lemmy say skibidi gyatt ohio L aura about any serious topic than to see “unalived” one more fucking time. This is embarrassing.

      ……. Uh anyway yeah unskippable cutscene am I right haha crazy

      (I actually believe both she and Jeffy have a probable reason to kill themselves: they may be otherwise facing a fate worse than death…)

        Dude it’s a joke, a witticism.

        Officially, it’s suicide, but everyone knows it’s murder. You can acknowledge the absurdity by calling it a third absurd thing, like un-alived.

          It’s not a witticism. Users of a lot of modern mass media platforms (TikTok is the one that comes to mind) need to use increasingly euphemistic language to speak about anything. Unalive a specific, famous one, you must have seen it before, even in deeply serious situations. Imagine someone sobbing while retelling a deeply personal experience only to say “I wanted to unalive myself 🥺” straight-faced between tears. That’s heartbreaking, disgusting stuff.

          Someone sent me cool woodworking video from TikTok a few months ago and the carpenter man kept talking about dogs. I bought a dog of dogs here, I cut off a dog, make sure to check how many dogs your wood is. What the fuck? Checking the comments, they were all like “LMAO dog 💀💀💀💀💀💀” with zero explanation.

          What are dogs? Dogs means feet now apparently. Fuck me if I know. If you say “feet” on TikTok, you get flagged as a fetish channel, so people say “dogs”. Why dogs? I don’t care. If you’re going to use stupid imperial measurements at least call them by a name I recognize.

          “Corn” for porn is kind of funny because corn is a very unsexy word (and concept).

          There is a lot of euphemistic algorithm evasion on TikTok, and this is not a phenomenon I’d want to see become endemic on the Fediverse. It’s also a thing on Instagram. And now it’s diffusing to unrelated places.

          I’m usually not this petty on here but it really pisses me off. This is also becoming a problem on Tumblr apparently, as I mentioned, which is a platform with a rigorous tagging system which allows users to block what they won’t have to see, which has made it possible to write properly without self-censorship. Apparently new, younger users, coming from places like TikTok, will just write “CW:🍇🍇” in their post instead of using the word rape, for example. So people who would previously be safe, by filtering out “rape”, are now finding shit they don’t want to see in their feeds. People should have a place where they can write about their experiences, no matter how harrowing, but this cheapens it and makes it harder to properly organize.

          The internet is for communication. Its usefulness as a means of effective communication is under attack from all sides. Let’s not just let that happen, yeah

        It’s ridiculous. Children’s tv shows have more frank discussions about serious issues than adults online.

    I wish they’d just come out and say it: sorry we can’t release the Epstein client list. It’s most of Americas governing body and if we arrested all of them the country would collapse without leadership. It is what it is… You elected them.

    According to Michael Wolff, man seeking to write another book about Trump and make more money.

      No, fuck you for this, because you’re just playing the right-wing tape “Any criticism of trump is because people are looking for fame and money”. Of course Wolff is capitalist bitch, like 99% of americans are, but he did spent dozens of hours with both epstein and trump. So, capitalist of not, what he says has to be taken seriously. BTW he would probably have made much more money selling an “official bio” praising trump to all the brainwashed maga then anything else.

        So you’re just going to blindly forget that Wolff withheld pretty damning info about trump during the election because it was in his upcoming book. Fuck Wolff and fuck you.

          is anyone actually debating whether or not trump is a perverted rapey rich guy? Is there even an argument to be made against that assertion? The guy openly talked about how hot his daughter was, and going into teenagers changing rooms on purpose because “he could get away with it” hes been sued for rape. His ex-wife asserted that he raped her when his hair plugs went south. He literally doesn’t sleep in the same bed as his mail-order bride. Have we even seen him speak with his own son? He bankrupted casinos, a university, cant even sell alcohol to people because hes such a failure–but no! people who talk about that are just jealous and out for money, amirite?

          The fact that anyone is attacking someone for making this assertion is literally the reason why people like trump keep getting away with it.
