Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Prior president's penis proclaimed "puny portabella" per pornstar's precoital perception.

That totally transcended traditional tabloid trash talk.

These were all good. This one made me laugh.

Presence of pee-tapes possibly pointless presently

Right in front of my face….

Russian propagandists were openly hoping for a hung jury and were visibly disappointed when Trump became a convicted felon on all 34 charges he was facing.

Hmm... sounds like some posters I read on here...

[–] macgyver@federation.red 2 points 6 months ago

It’s always the dudes with the fancy looking names

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 55 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I honestly wonder if Putin expects corruption in the American system. I mean there is, but if he expects more.

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 57 points 6 months ago (3 children)

He grew up on a steady diet of Soviet propaganda that leaned HEAVILY on that point. You’re probably right.

[–] OsaErisXero@kbin.run 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Let's not pretend like the rest of us would have disagreed. If Trump sees the inside of a cell that will be an anomaly at this point.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I think the judge clucked his tongue sternly for one of the multiple counts of Donald violating a court order regarding intimidating jurors and court staff. I knew there was a corrupt multi-tiered justice system but I have never before seen it so blatant.

Other guys in NY spend years locked up in solitary just waiting for trial, let alone mouthing off to a judge, let alone publicly asking followers to threaten or harass a jurors and the judge's staff.

I’d also be pretty confident that he put a lot of eggs in that basket because his tactics worked in 2016 and he figured it was a proven success

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

It’s always projection with authoritarians

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

“There are idiots in every country, but this is the only instance where idiots have their own country. This is something new in history.”

Lol, die mad

[–] half_fiction@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

God, if only we actually had our own country...

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 25 points 6 months ago

Russia: "we are denazifying the world! ...Oh Trump, he's cool with us"

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because Trump is revoltingly friendly to Putin. Do you not pay attention?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's impossible to be certain, but I think the comment might have been made in jest.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

INCONCEIVABLE!

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Live in fear, cunts. Or feel free to do humanity a favor and off yourselves.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Is there a way people can share the non-paywall version of articles?

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I meant share the archive as a lemmy post instead of in the comments… thanks though. Appreciate the effort in posting that.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Never written a bot before but this gives me an idea.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

May your bot eat all the ass!

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

At one point the Admins said that was against the instance rules, so I don’t do that

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Fair enough. Thanks for the response.

[–] finthechat@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago

Cross post it to another community that doesn't have the same strict rules, then paste the contents in that post instead

[–] Granite@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not anymore. They officially shut it down with no plans to return under another changed domain.

[–] Five@slrpnk.net 8 points 6 months ago

TIL that Trump's Russian patronymic name is Fredovych.
