Can we stop putting him on the front page because he says shut like this? We can’t ignore him, but we are playing into his hands. Headline it something like, More Proof Trump is unelectable, or something that isn’t click bait

It’s a fair point, but don’t think about it as someone-posted-it-to-lemmy think about it as The Guardian thought it was amazing this donald trump character would say something outrageous.

As if they just woke up in the world this morning and were completely perplexed as to how a demented sociopathic rapist fraud could have said such a thing.

This is what we’re talking about with regard to corporate news media constantly supporting Trump and his campaign. If the reporter was actually allowed to phrase the title, it would be something like “Fuck me, another verbal turd from spray-tan bozo” or . . y’know, something. Instead, it’s this sanitized, starched white “How interesting that such a provocative comment was made” headline which is pure and utter bullshit and everyone is completely aware of it. That’s the 1984 happening.

Except it’s not proof he’s unelectable, only that sane people won’t vote for him.

People won’t read past the headline and accept or reject the notion based on their beliefs

A better headline in this case would be “Trump claims with him in charge US no match for Russian army”

The protection racket mostly sells physical security. Through the credible threat of violence, the racketeers deter both third-party criminals and people in their own criminal organization from swindling, robbing, injuring, sabotaging, or otherwise harming their clients

Lol at assuming he’s even got the mental capacity to rile up his opposition.

Wasn’t the conservative mob seriously scared that “Hillary will nuke Russia” during the first candidacy of that treasonous fool?

Haha, encouraging a country to attack other countries that’s fucking hilarious.

It’d be funnier if Russia came after him for not paying his bills, could you imagine them enforcing the E. Jean Carroll sexual assault settlement?

“Wolveriiiiines!”

“No no they’re just coming after Trump”

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

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.
