    He IS a serial sexual abuser too. Which in no way diminishes how much of a monster the Mango Mussolini is.

    Fuck them both with a rusty rail spike.

    It's called deflection. Clinton is irrelevant in 2020 2024. They only talk about him so they can quit talking about the person that is not irrelevant. Just like Hunter Biden.

    Yeah, I know. It's also known as whataboutism.

    Ironically enough, since his cult members are anti-communist to a pathological degree, the first country to employ whataboutism as an official government policy was the USSR.

    They would reply to every criticism from the US, no matter how justified, with "but you hang negroes" and similar.

    ⚠️ bamboozle detected

    I searched because I’d seen seemingly all their photos but not yours. Plus 45’s face looked a little fuzzy. I’m worried that before long there won’t be tipoffs like fuzzy faces!

    I know the media demonizes trump religiously now, but its hard not to believe this is what trump would say. I don’t even need to hear the recording, which of course there is one. That dude has opinions of everything, especially of things he doesn’t understand.

    the media demonizes trump religiously

    Reporting what he says and does isn't demonizing. Hell, if anything the mainstream media almost always goes easy on him with their fallacious "being neutral and also centrist is always being objective" dogma.

    its hard not to believe this is what trump would say. I don’t even need to hear the recording, which of course there is one

    True. Especially given the above and the fact that legacy media is risk-averse to an absolutely pathological degree with regards to making sure people, and Trump, can't sue them.

    That dude has opinions of everything, especially of things he doesn’t understand.

    Yup, comes with the territory of being a malignant narcissist idiot savant self-promoter.

    Considering the level of awareness you elude mainstream of having, is it unreasonable to assume they are putting down all the details necessary to paint the worst picture possible?

    How does one demonize a demon? It was seriously maddening all those years. NBC tried to help him whitewash his reputation.

    Honestly, I'm both surprised and saddened to see how much the media is still holding back against him at this point. NBC and attached executives have a treasure trove of bigoted, sexist, racist things he said in the course of his whitewashing. But won't release it. And this is the co-parent of one of the biggest center right media companies in the United States. MSNBC who's still criticized Trump plenty. But they're only still scratching the surface of just how evil and petty the man truly is. But as you say, it's completely in character for the man to have said such things.

    You must see the clear irony of asking that question.

    My biggest pet peeve is the biased reporting done by mainstream. They’re potentially the direct most cause of polarization in america. We really don’t need polarization right now.

    Oh, the question was most assuredly sarcastic. And while I do blame the media for a lot of the polarization. Factually reporting on Trump isn't polarization. It's the last ditch too late effort to stop the coming fascism. That they helped set up.

    The polarization was them turning absolutely everything into an exhausting horse race. While at the same time. Absolutely failing to report properly and objectively about a million other different things over the last 50 to 60 years. Leading to a slow, rightward drift as they enabled their pay masters.

    Republicans don't care. Trump's name was already on Epstein's black book that got released earlier.

    "That didn't happen.
    And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
    And if it was, that's not a big deal.
    And if it is, that's not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn't mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it."

    Nothing that is going to happen is going to change their minds. They live in a different reality. All they're going to do is talk about any Democrat involvement. When someone brings up any Republican they'll just go "what about" to never talk about any Republican involvement. If you're thinking this is going to change their minds then you're giving them too much credit.

    They actually trended "CLEARED" on Twitter because the one lady in the lawsuit was asked if she personally was raped by Trump and she said no.

    Nobody pondered why his name would specifically come up in a deposition about people getting raped by Epstein's friends...

    Sounds like the "not a drag queen" trend that's just as disturbing.

    With the amount of the "think of the children" they really are only pro birth. Whatever happens after birth, who cares unless they want to do something on the Long lists of things they should *not be allowed to do then they will be there.

    I shit you not. My boss walked up to my desk yesterday and was like "you see the news about the Epstein list? Guess who's on it? Clinton" like it was this huge mic drop with absolutely zero mention that Trump was on that list. Classic Fox News Republican..

    Reminds me of the conspiracy sub reddit when it became a Donald Trump cult, would have a picture of Clinton and epstein at the top for more than a day with comments talking about how it's evidence of democrats being pedos, but pictures of Trump and epstein would get removed or downvoted
