I still can’t believe they did a military fly over to intimidate these women. I mean I believe it but I don’t believe it.

They did a military fly over to intimidate these women during their press conference.

I'm waiting to pass judgment on the flyover. He's totally that petty, but, I don't think he'd plan that far ahead. He's way more reactive than proactive, especially when it comes to stupid stunts.

While it's possible the flyover's purpose was to intimidate the victims, it feels like disinfo or convenient rumor.

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is a restricted airspace so someone ordered it. That being said, there’s a chance it was a flyover for the Polish pilot who crashed and died while practicing for an airshow.

But, keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be Trump personally. He’s not the only person in a position of power with a vested interest to make those women disappear. Plenty of influential scum bags to go around. And once the names are released, regardless of who releases them, blackmail is a lot harder to leverage. And the people leveraging it are not the idiots Trump and his quasi reality tv goons are. They’re more than capable of pulling strings, making “suggestions” and planning ahead. Trump isn’t hard to fool nor drive. The biggest difficulty with him is anyone can steer him; keeping him under singular influence is the challenge.

Your logic is sound and I'm not heavily disagreeing with you. My gut says the claim is hinky. (Obviously, my gut and hinkiness are the gold standard for truth and reason.)

I'm skeptical but you might be right. It's real fucked up that we have to even consider bullshit like this.

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

Right. Like how many times do we read something off the wall and we can’t even tell if it’s satire or legitimate reporting anymore because absolutely any level of madness is possible.

Recent examples are this whole “President Trump to rebrand Defense Department to Department of War” sounds like a SNL skit setup or “Trump moves Space Command HQ to AL, citing CO mail-in voting” sounds like the onion. There are better examples, but it’s just like every day some new crazy thing. It’s good to stay skeptical because it really is hard to be sure of anything one way or another.

You don’t need to plan military flights ahead of time. That’s like the whole point of a standing army.

Why is the spot in front of the mics empty? That sign may as well say "Donald Trump and friends"

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Because they're all cowards refusing to talk about it.

Every single citizen should be pissed at the administration for this bullshit

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

The logical conclusion is that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The charitable conclusion is that he protects pedophiles.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 1 week ago

And at every institution and business that hasn’t resisted.

For weeks media reported what Maxwell said even though she is a liar. They reported dutifully that Trump did nothing wrong and was a swell guy. Weeks of this was reported everyday on every new source.

Now that his victims want to speak out suddenly it is a non-story and the media doesn't care. This is beyond sus.

I love the one down vote. Pedo.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuck pedo trump and everyone else that took part. I fully support this comics message, buuuut the eyes are killing me, they don't match the movement of the eyebrows at all and are giving me crapy AI vibes. Again fuck all those pedos. Lock them up and let them rot.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That is absolutely a “confused apprehension” pose I’ve seen done before by plenty of human artists. Maybe fuck off wit this dumbass discourse if you don’t even know the signs of AI, instead of accusing artists of being fake. That’s fucked.

Maybe take that up with Pedro X Molina?

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well, I don't see anything surprising in our world, for the sake of your freedom you will have to fight even to the death if necessary, the same with freedom of speech.
