    No one can tell me that Leavitt wasn’t desperately trying to avoid winking when she said “shots will fly”. That smug look on her face said everything.

    They’re super confident and cocky in their incometence. And why wouldn’t they be? No one…literally NO ONE…has called them out on it.

    We’ll need to radiate his body after he dies.

    1. To protect the grave from boot suckers.
    2. To keep those with valid rage from hurting themselves.
    3. If rises as a radiated monster, we get to shoot him again, and again, and again, and again. All the while he is in terrible pain. (yay!)

    Win win win.

    Trump sucks for all the reasons but I’m pretty sure that’s just the face he makes when he takes a shit.

    When Hitler so successfully lied to Chamberlain concealing that he had already mobilized the German army to attack Poland, he asked for a time-out from their meeting. With his generals who had been witnessing his most successful lies, Hitler went into an anteroom, where he reportedly jumped up and down with joy, and then having reduced his duping delight, he returned to the meeting.

    This is how my grandmother would always catch me lying as a kid. I’d have a grin for any white lie I told and she’d immediately know I was lying. I could never figure it out until I was an adult and she told me her secret.

    Just wanted to express my wish for people to include this person’s name in the title so it gets blocked by my content filters.

        Being well-informed doesn’t require immersing yourself in an endless stream of outrage, nor does stepping back from that mean you’re turning a blind eye to anything.

        There’s a difference between ignoring reality and choosing how and when to engage with it. Most of what passes for political content online isn’t a sober presentation of facts or ideas - it’s performance, manufactured outrage, and algorithm-driven noise. If someone wants to stay sane and focus on things they can actually influence in their immediate life, I don’t see that as sticking their head in the sand. I see it as setting healhy boundaries in an environment that’s often designed to provoke rather than inform.

        People aren’t morally obligated to be constantly exposed to negativity just to prove they care. In fact, thoughtful action tends to come from those who can step back from the noise and think clearly, not from those who are perpetually consumed by it.

            I just choose how and when to engage with reality, and leave out the blocking; you do this to exert control, because you feel out of control.

            It won’t work, your attempt at control is a temporary illusion, because you’re trying to control others instead of controlling yourself.

            Your blocking announcement is meant as an affirmation of control, but it is actually an announcement of your own weakness.

            … not that there’s anything wrong with that

            Yes and our news programms report on the important stuff all the time. But I browse lemmy for enjoyment, and it being filled with US politics is insufferable

              It’s actually your civic duty to develop an obsession, American or not. Because, remember, thats what activism is. Indeed how could we change anything by not feeding this black hole all of our collective mental energy?

          Most people don’t speak English so we should switch to a more popular language like Finnish.

      You do realize this is a universal psychological trait, right? Just because they posted one photo of a smug little piece of shit, does not make this a post about he who shouldn’t be named.

      He frequently tells those lies while poking his head out of a doorway, and constantly shits himself. That one video with the woman behind him flinching proves that he’s…

      A super duper stoop scooper and a pooper stupor producer.

    Tucker Carlson actually has this as well. This was pointed out during the fake Charlie Kirk “funeral” (the guy’s still alive, by the way).
