So here's how I see it:

Someone is goading/bribing Trump into acting so that they can take control of the Central and North American narcotics trade.

That's why he pushed for invading Mexico to fight the cartels, and when that didn't work out, he shifted to starting a war with Venezuela.

It's obviously not a sincere effort to stop narcotics traffic, or he wouldn't be pardoning Hernández. It's much more likely that he's pardoning Hernández because he either already is or is intended to be a well-connected and experienced ally to Trump and whoever it is that he's working for/with.

No - actually that's exactly what you voted for - you're just too stupid and/or lazy and/or blinded by hate to realize that, or too dishonest to admit it.

Where can I say F*ck, respectfully?

Fucking anywhere. If you feel some fucking need to self-censor like a little bitch, that's on you.

Where can I call women sl*ts and wh#res when they disagree with me on opinion?

Wherever the fuck you want. You're just likely going to end up facing some sort of consequences for being a sexist piece of shit. If you're too much of a little bitch to deal with that, then maybe you should rethink the idea.

Where can I call men bitch*s, when they try to correct me?

Anywhere you want bitch.

Where do femcels, Andrew Tates and wizards talk here?

They mostly don't because they need an echo chamber so they can pretend they're something other than weak, pathetic little cowards, and Lemmy won't give them one.

Where is the place where we say things we couldn’t say elsewhere?

That's Lemmy

What you're looking for is a place where you can say things that you could say elsewhere - where you can post the same sort of cowardly, bigoted, noxious crap you can spew on Reddit or 4chan or X or Facebook. You can do that too on Lemmy if you want - you're just not going to get a safe space to do it in free from consequences. And again, if you're too much of a little bitch to face the consequences you deserve for being a bigoted piece of shit, you should maybe rethink the idea.

So the American elite are really speedrunning the whole Ancien Regime France thing.

Somehow they seem unaware of how that story ends.

And it's not as if it was written by some schlub in a trailer park or something - the division of CNN responsible for that undoubtedly has a budget in at least seven figures and dozens of employees who are by definition professionals.

And that's the best they could do? How is that even possible?

On a related note - I kept thinking, reading through that - how can something from CNN be that poorly written? It's not as if it's a jetliner or a bridge or a skyscraper - it's an article and an accompanying set of news briefs that a high school English student could've knocked out in an hour, and the student would've done a better job.

How many employees does CNN have? And how is it that none of them could manage to make sure that that didn't go out until it was competently written?

One would think that CNN could at least afford a proofreader.

Feeling a bit North Korea in here.

It's weird and disturbing that the headline is probably true.

If the world made sense, it would be more than enough that he is, right now, moment-to-moment, obviously deeply mentally ill and wantonly destructive - a grotesquely corrupt pathological liar, vindictive narcissist, and raging sociopath who blatantly has done and is doing more harm to the US than any president at least in the modern era and quite possibly ever.

How has that not already been enough? I don't think I'll ever really understand that.

How perfect.

This is a great example of how it is that the right is always wrong, but always has followers anyway. It's because they live in a doggedly self-affirming fantasy world in which they blithely believe unsupported nonsense like QAnon while just as blithely disregarding simple fact like the Epstein files, all based not on evidence or logic, but just based on whether or not it fits their preconceptions.

It's a perfect little delusional universe where they're free to be told whatever they want to believe and ignore whatever they don't want to believe.

This is a large part of why Republicans love "privatizing" government services - so they can then collect bribes and kickbacks from the often nepotistic contractors who get the no-bid contracts.

And as always, the Trump regime does it more and bigger than anyone ever.

So doesn't that mean that the next step is for Trump to call TruthAI mean and nasty, then sue it?

[–] WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 month ago

Because he's a corrupt piece of shit, owned by the same moneyed interests that own the Republicans.
