  • Why did Donald Trump simulate oral sex with his microphone at Milwaukee rally?
  • The context is that Trump has had a long history of making sexual comments such as "grab them by the pussy" and comments on the size of Arnold Palmer's penis.

    The other part of the context is that your entire Lemmy comment history is full of Trump apologia. You are the only person in this comment chain who is trying to explain away Trump's obvious sexual innuendo as something else, when the video is right there for everyone to see. And a user named "damnedfurry" accusing someone else of being a "pornsick coomer" for calling out Trump reeks of projection.

    You must be mistaking Lemmy for Truth Social, because nobody on Lemmy is buying your garbage.

    Age and health concerns about Donald Trump

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/21644105

    > > At 78 years, 4 months and 22 days of age, Donald Trump is the oldest major-party presidential nominee in history, after President Joe Biden withdrew from contention prior to becoming the nominee of his own party in the 2024 United States presidential election. If elected, by the end of his term he would become the oldest person ever to hold the office, sparking renewed discussion of his fitness to assume the presidency. Since the early days of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, his physical and mental health have been a subject of public debate. Trump was 70 years old when he first took office, surpassing Ronald Reagan as the oldest person to assume the presidency to that date. During Trump's presidency, comments on his age, weight, lifestyle, and history of heart disease raised questions about his physical health. In addition, numerous public figures, media sources, and mental health professionals have speculated that Trump may have mental health impairments, ranging from narcissistic personality disorder to some form of dementia, which runs in his family.

  • Go ahead and explain in your own words what you think Trump is doing in this video.

  • A 14-year-old took home $10,000 for his award-winning investigation into train derailments. Here's what he found.
  • The extension supports over 500 sites and needs to modify the page to show the paywalled content, so the permission list includes over 500 domains. There's no good alternative to these permissions. You can inspect the source code to verify that the extension's behavior is legitimate.

  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy urges allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid North Korea threat
  • I agree with you on preferring the US sending support to Ukraine in the form of equipment and strategic guidance instead of troops at this stage. European countries have a different balance of considerations due to their proximity to Russia, and I trust them to make the right choice on the level of support to provide.

  • What can we do
  • Suggestion #1 (voting for candidates who support pro-environment legislation) results in the sweeping systemic changes that you're looking for.

    Imagine looking at this and desperately sanewashing Trump to pretend that he's not simulating oral sex with his mic at his pathetic rally.

  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy urges allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid North Korea threat
  • Who's "we"? Sounds like a proportionate response to me.

  • My Fellow Republicans, It’s Time to Say Enough With Trump
  • Actually, a recent Pew Research Center report shows that 24% of Republicans (and Republican leaners) use the NYT for political news. That percentage goes up to 45% for Republicans aged 18-29.

  • Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.
  • When you link a Wikipedia article, you can expect others to read it and call you out on it when it doesn't say what you claim it says. Wikipedia is very consistent with labelling fascism as far-right.

  • Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.
  • Your quote from the article describes the Third Position, not fascism in general. It does not say that fascism in general is neither left nor right. No need to get mad because you misread a Wikipedia article.

  • Nevar Forget
  • Thanks for the retraction. It was the honest thing to do.

  • By your standard, your posts here should be removed for misinformation because your numbers don't include all of the election votes. Here are the final results of the 2016 elections by state, with citations. The numbers are consistent with the infographic.

    The Maduro government still shows no signs of surrendering power in Venezuela

    > As the deadline expired yesterday for the Maduro government in Venezuela to show detailed poll-by-poll voting records, opposition candidate Edmundo González was recognized as president-elect of Venezuela by the governments of Argentina, the United States and Uruguay. (Peru already recognized him on Tuesday). > > But on the streets of Caracas and other Venezuelan cities, there was no sign this week that the Maduro government was reconsidering its strategy of claiming victory and seeking to crush dissent through force. > > On Friday, the opposition reported that its headquarters, El Bejucal in the Caracas district of Altamira, was raided and vandalized overnight by a group of six armed and hooded men wearing camouflage. > > Arrests of volunteer poll workers continued across the country, as the government sought to prevent the opposition from uploading digitized receipts from individual polls that show the opposition with a margin of victory of more than two-to-one. > > Venezuelan social media is full of videos of raids showing opposition volunteers being dragged from their homes. In some cases, angry crowds have attempted to prevent the arrests. > > Venezuelans have also been posting videos of uniformed foreigners on the streets of Caracas, including Cubans and a soldier wearing the insignia of the Wagner Group, a notorious mercenary group linked to the Kremlin that has played a major role in wars in Ukraine and various parts of Africa. > > Others have tracked flights arriving from Cuba, or photographed Russian aircraft landing in Caracas.
