N. Korea Anyone? Large Banner Of Trumps Image Goes Up On Side Of Federal Office Building
A few observations-
This what authoritarian regimes do
(
-
Notice how Trump "subtly" equates himself with Abraham Lincoln. The head and torso on the two images are very similar in proportion and height. But also, notice the USDA signage above the Lincoln image. The same signage is placed at the top of the Trump image. "We're the same. Equally great" Got it?
This is narcissistic aggrandizement.
There is no aspect of self adoration this man will not explore, and expect from the cult.
I'm sure someone resourceful and inventive will find a way to deface that traitorous image of fascism ...
This really is disgusting. How any patriotic American could ever support such a vile shit stain is beyond me, though I rather doubt there are many. I can't think of any of the Mango Mussolini's sycophants that I would describe as patriotic. In fact, the exact opposite seems to be a requirement to join the MAGAverse.
Amy Coney Barrett appeared to side with the Supreme Courts liberals on the question of nationwide injunctions today and the MAGAs are totally freaking out about it
Matthew Nichol on X: "Amy Coney Barrett shows her true colors and who she loves. https://t.co/bkEwAr3Vva" / X
heaven forbid anyone speak out against the maga's 4th reich fuhrer ...
high time to fuck over that fascist pile of shit.
A whole 114 likes on a post from someone no one ever heard of. Earth shattering.
I'll show you a lot more MAGAs whining about her if you want.
From the person who quotes more "X" comments than anyone else?
Or are you saying that you just comment here or there, for the "likes"?
That's an earthshattering failure based on your losing the "likes" by 113 at the time of this comment.
What an excellent post! the reach of NT and twitter is exactly the same! There are millions of people on this site, just like X. It makes perfect sense to compare metrics from two different media sites, since they have the exact same reach.
I'm happy to explain what you missed. John claimed this post, by someone who no one who has ever heard of, represents MAGA. With me so far? He claims MAGA is freaking out and this tweet is the proof. Now, Twitter has a massive audience and viral posts that are actually popular will generate millions of views and tens of thousands of likes. John's post despite no doubt being boosted by some fringe left wing website or activist desperately relying on stereotypes, was selected to maintain his campaign of hate sand paint a picture to manipulate gullible left wingers. The only problem is that it's obviously not popular and doesn't have much reach.
Out of an audience of millions of Trump voters, his evidence of a freakout is 100 odd people liking a post.
Whoops!
I dont count how many likes a post on twitter gets
this twitter thread is filled with right wingers calling her a traitor

Sorry John I thought I posted these last night.

Maybe someone should do the math
The irony is apparently lost on the myopic.
Speaking of large photos of Trump... and ....well... because people aren't making big enough mountains out of their molehills.....
I was in DC over the weekend and was able to tour the White House. First time for me. Obviously one of the great things about the WH is the presidential portraits that hang everywhere.
In the main entrance from the South Lawn, there is a large foyer with a beautiful grand piano. Behind the piano is the portrait of Barack Obama.
On the opposite wall, if you turn 180 degrees around from the Obama portrait, is this:
Here is a closer view, published in Newseek:
I found this hilarious. If it makes anyone's head explode, I also find that hilarious.
I also find it hilarious. Hilarious yet also very sad at the same time. But still not something that would make anyone's head explode.
That was Trump in a monologue to the president of the United Arab Emirates today. He also lied and said he had brought the price of eggs down 97% in the United States. No word if the other fellow was still awake at the end.
"I invented the word "equalizer"."
In spite of the fact it's been around since 1599 or there abouts and the title of several Movies and a TV series.
Pitiful.
Only Trump could invent something like that. Everyone knows it.
Undoubtedly. It's definitely a dark form of humor.
Not something that should make anyone's head explode... but we both know there will be people out there who simply can't contain their outrage.
I wonder why someone would paint a moment in time that is frozen in a much better photograph...
Should people not speak out when they see outrageous acts by a PotUS? Why should people "contain" their outrage rather than express it?
but we both know there will be people out there who simply can't contain their outrage.
Of course there are some that have faux outrage or get outraged at the drop of a hat. I almost feel sorry for them but they are just so darn entertaining.
Because money?
Maybe, if Trump takes it with him and can find the sucker who will pay the most for it, lol
I'm guessing the same reason some people do photos in black and white, or use other filters or tones. Artistic expression?
I dunno.
Depends on the act.
Because outrage has diminishing marginal utility. If you're outraged too often, you just become tedious
The word 'outrage' is itself an exaggeration which attempts to portray any criticism of Trump as being driven by emotion over reason.
This forum, as others, is a vehicle for members to opine and make arguments on their positions. Almost certainly these will be more candid than what would take place in normal discourse. The ability for candor is a key benefit of forums like this.
Instead of complaining about criticism and trying to cast it as some irrational emotional response, my comment is that those who do not agree with an opinion or argument should make a cogent rebuttal rather than attempt to portray the criticism as unbridled emotion.
I find this to be an outrageous suggestion.
not according to Jack but if they do he's right there to point out his disdain for their outrage
Not always.
Sometimes it is exactly that. No casting required.
If there is and actual argument, and if it is rational, sane, cogent, reasoned, or otherwise not ridiculous, I agree. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. There is zero point in trying to reason with someone who is controlled by their emotions.
Maybe spend less time complaining about what you perceive to be 'emotional' and just deal with the argument. If the argument is indeed 'emotional' then it should be easy to rebut it on a purely logical basis. No need to constantly admonish what you think is driving the underlying thought process.
And if you believe there is no point dealing with someone who is not thinking rationally (i.e. emotionally) then I agree with you that there is no point trying to reason with them.
I have long since abandoned any notion of reasoning with certain posters. So instead, I just rebut whatever nonsense they spew. Most of the time I just ignore it because much of it is just too stupid to even give the respect of a response.
Riiiight. Because emotional people care so much about logic. There is zero point in trying to reason with someone who is controlled by their emotions.
There is no "need" for anything on this forum. But that includes hyper-emotional stupidity that detracts from intelligent conversation.
Gee. I wish I'd thought of that......
Yes, my eyes are rolling.
As do I. Excellent. We agree.
In short, your constant complaining that posts are emotional is both obnoxious and pointless.
Better to rebut the ‘logic’ or just ignore the post based on your determination that it is not worth your time.
As are those posts. So I guess that all works out.
There isn't any. Much like your series of comments here. Again, there is zero point in trying to reason with someone who is controlled by their emotions.
You realize you could easily have ignored my comment, but you've decided to make an issue of the mere acknowledgment that such posts exist and are typically generated by the same characters on a regular basis. The irony is spectacular.
I did not consider your comment unworthy of my time. Further, I wanted to express my opinion.
Riiiiight.
So when I want to express mine, I think I'll go ahead.
Ideally thoughtful commentary rather than merely presuming the poster’s emotional state and using that as the basis for criticism.
A staged assassination attempt, big deal.
Your proof of this is?.........
Or did you simply get suckered into yet another conspiracy theory on Bluesky?
