Nor his consonants!
To be fair. I imagine they would be hard for anyone to manage.
The entire “article” is based on one tweet from one guy. Guess that guy is “MAGAs”.
Welcome to the level of rigor they treated antifa with, or those _____ slammed by twitter articles.

Or it is commentary on current (lack of) journalistic expectations.

Considering the point of whataboutism is to deflect, their example of “slam” articles wouldn’t make sense as it is often used by what you would consider that person’s side. I’d even say your comment fits the good old fallacy fallacy.
this comment.
Props for being so self aware to label your own comment as shoddy.
I suppose it’s as solid as “lots of people are saying it.”
Everybody says so. Many such cases.
Political Flare has an abysmal mbfc score
What’s Marina Bay Financial Centre got to do with this?
Damn, an abysmal score from an abysmal critic.
MBFC has an abysmal RSN score.
This is no different than Trump saying “they say” when he makes up some bullshit.
The GOP once again claiming that women are property…
Yeah that’s what their issue with no fault divorce is. They think that men should only lose their wives due to behavior bad enough that a judge recognizes it, and many don’t believe spousal rape is rape.

Don’t count on it and don’t get overconfident about this hurting their turnout. Regardless of whatever weird bickering there is between Republicans at the end of the day they’ll always vote for their own.
If he actually uses adult diapers (and there are a lot of hints that he does!), he can’t even control his bodily functions!.
Hey, MAGAs, what is that telling you?
Hey, MAGAs, what is that telling you?
“He’s one of us!”
Well, for one he’s not full of shit, but his pants might be.
Trump and Vance are pretending they are more pro choice than they actually are. Roe V Wade was fine, and nobody was trying to expand it (despite what republicans would tell you). Trump ended Roe V Wade and now we’re in this shit situation.
Melania coming out pro choice is just Trump’s way of seeming more pro choice (yes, of course he pushed her to make this statement). Vance’s BS during the debate was the same thing.
Lol these people can’t understand rights, in this case their favorite freedom of speech. They only understand control.
I’ll be honest I didn’t have Melania Trump on my October Surprise bingo card.
Is that you, satan’s?
What? No, of course not.
Unless you want to do a deal?
Hey, I’m game. What’s the offer?
Sorry it looks like another red head already got your soul. You didn’t fall for the redhead porn did you? That’s a soul trap.
Damn that redhead porn!
Oh, FUCKING REALLY?? THATS what it takes for the cult to turn on him. ForafucksSake, what a bunch of jackasses.
I’m ready for the timeline where Melania saves the world.
Remember “I don’t care, do you?” She’s as bad as any of them.
Internally consistent MAGAs. Good lord, now I’ve seen everything.
I have a feeling someone is saving a divorce when a loss is confirmed.
Naw. Here’s my completely uninformed theory:
Melania is Trump’s second wife, and he’s exactly the kind of douchebag who’d have an iron-clad pre-nup. I think she’s staying with him because (a) he probably doesn’t touch her anymore, and spends his little-hands time with other women, (b) he’s still a source of income for her, and © she gets nothing, or a pittance, if she divorces him. It may be that if he divorces her, she gets a payout, which would explain why he hasn’t moved on to wife #3, but he’s got the cake and is eating it, too; the real conundrum is why she hasn’t left him yet. My money’s on a pre-nup.
Melania is wife #3. Ivana was first (Mom of Jr, Eric, and Ivanka), then Marla Maples (Mom of Tiffany), then Melania (Mom of Barron).
Oh, thanks for the correction. I’ve never heard of Marla. Were they actually wed, or is she just a baby momma?
Yeah, of she’s #3, there’s definitely a pre-nup involved.
real conundrum is why she hasn’t left him yet.
She’s 54, he’s 78. She’s waiting for him to croak.
She’d better hope he hasn’t willed whatever is left to his current mistress. She could contest, but few states will override a clear, legal will.
Agreed, she can’t get too out of line so I expect this will be it. And if she stays in good enough graces with maga she’ll be able to grift them enough to be comfortable (thus this book), that means she can’t start the divorce.
Could be… I mean if you think about it she’s hiding out in the one state where he can’t really do anything. She also seems to be subtlety egging him on with criticizing Florida’s weather and by association the Trump abode. Now she’s contradicting her hubby’s view on abortion. Like goading him to slip up and either run away or break one of the stipulations.
She could also be playing a long game, of sorts, and just doing it to increase his stress level. If you think about it, with his very likely unhealthy diet, his age and physique, along with the seemingly increase of droning on; adding the stress of even more controversy on top (other than his legal woes) could easily lower his life expectancy like a stone.
Either way, we won’t know until after the dust settles following the election. But I do stand by my opinion that there is trouble in “paradise” and something has to be brewing.
She had clearly lost interest even before the last election. The kids played along, because they got to hobnob with various heads off state, and play like they were actually running things, but they’re all conspicuously absent this time around.
If he has dementia - and it’s been hard to tell whether he does or if that’s just his natural state - then it’s hard on them to be around him. Dementia doesn’t differentiate: everybody gets the mean.
She’s Wife Number 3. Ivana Trump was #1; Ivanka’s mom, she was the star of the show when Trump was breaking out in the 1980s. #2 was Marla Maples. Evidence appears to show that Trump divorced her after finding out that she was sleeping with one or more members of her security team. [So Donnie would be a cuck who paid for his wife’s lovers.]
This is how these people think ALL THE TIME 🤮
Why are you deep throating shrek?
:(
This is why I forgive Melania for being a gold digging, lying whore.
She’s been driving needles into Trump’s face every chance she’s had since 2015.
I don’t really care about her do you?
Sincerely though, no resistance will make up for that stunt of hers in my opinion. She clearly cares about women’s rights a little bit, but I was going to say it’s because she’s a woman, but she’s an immigrant and doesn’t give half a fuck about her fellow immigrants.
There’s an old joke.
People are really divided on her. Some people hate her like poison; then there’s a lot who just hate her regular.
why would i hold gold digging against anyone? go get your bag girl
And yet, this STILL won’t be enough to convince a lot of the leftists here to vote.
Leftists warned you that someone like Trump was the inevitable result of the capitalist system before he was elected. And here you are, eight years later STILL scapegoating the left for another fascist turn.
Leftists have no fucking idea what they’re talking about. So no, they didn’t warn shit. Because no one with any intelligence takes them seriously.
Trump isn’t not a “inevitable result of capitalism”. He’s an inevitable result of ignorance and stupidity. There have been many, MANY presidents that served under capitalism that weren’t anything like him. So stop with that bullshit. Besides…
You honestly think greed doesn’t exist under socialism?
Seriously?
Someone like Trump can be created by socialism just as easily. It’s happened before.
Additionally. There is NO blueprint for a working system of socialism in America. NONE. Pretty o much anyone that knows anything about it on an academic level knows it won’t work and has said as much. And as far as leftists go, none of you have a clue about it enough to do any more than copypasta one another’s pseudo-intellectual nonsense on it.
So please… step away from the mic.

Ask a socialist why they hate capitalism, and they’ll give you a myriad of reasons. Ask a capitalist why they hate socialism and they’ll describe capitalism.
Cute anecdote. Utter bullshit, but cute. Though I’m sure that’s also copypasta because I’ve seen your comment history- you’re not that clever.
Now before I end this discussion, I want to point something it that I think makes a good point to the matter:
Look around.
No, seriously…… look around.
No one on lemmy takes the far-left seriously except the far left. You’re all downvoted into obscurity almost all the time- on a platform that is known to lean towards YOUR bias. This should tell you something. In fact, this should tell you a lot!
First and foremost, it shows that the majority of people here think that you’re wrong. And secondly, that the majority of people here are getting fed up with entering your rhetoric.
It seems like every time one of you pop up, someone with logic and empirical evidence arrives to be the whack to your mole. And its usually a lot more then just someone- it’s many.
And often.
And seemingly none of you ever have anything of substance to counter. Just “Nuuuhh uhhhhhh!” or trollish attempts to report people for simply disagreeing with you. Or just… lame quotes that mean nothing.
So respond in kind, it won’t really matter. Because come November- we ALL know you’re going to disappear along with the rest of them and the only evidence that you were ever here will reside in a comment history where you were shown the door-
And often.

'Til chilly November then, snowflake!
Loving the civility. You have nothing. Thanks for proving my point.
Would’ve been easier to convince them to come back if we didn’t spend the better part of last decade “calling out” white savior complex.
Why did we make such an effort to make sure white men realize how pathetic everyone thinks they are, again?
Seems people aren’t that worried about what Trump’s potential presidency and lasting legacy could lead to.
I don’t think I’ve seen genuine fear much at all, except for that one black guy who was threatened with hanging in some old sundown town around Nevada/California some weeks ago. Everyone around seemed perfectly fine with it, maybe even willing to help, should the old man want to seize him and actually hang him.
I don’t think Americans really imagine it getting there. They think the white boys with still be holding eachother back, but the reality is that the bleeding heart kind will be sitting at home or something, he won’t be your pathetic white savior standing between the psychos and their catch.
If Harris wins, there won’t be much more of that, but if Trump wins it’ll start happening a lot more, and the decades coming after will be blown wide open in terms of how bad things can get. People are wrong if they think the modern crop of white boys is less dangerous than their great great grandpa. I know the mentality, they’re a bit hyena-like, they’re fucking clowns about it. With a love for long range rifles, occasionally a disturbing habit of entertaining themselves with gore, I wouldn’t want to see them win the government’s approval/tolerance.
Why did we make such an effort to make sure white men realize how pathetic everyone thinks they are, again?
Oh FFS, no one thinks white men are pathetic. We think people who consider themselves special little snowflakes because they are white men to be pathetic for that specific reason.
White men are no more and no less important than everyone else, and for those who have been accustomed to the privilege of being a white male, the equality of being the same as everyone else feels like oppression.
Yeah, this is what I was talking about.
You’re completely and utterly fucked. You better be sure Harris wins because the alternative won’t be pretty.
You don’t even know what you’ve told them.
You better be sure Harris wins because the alternative won’t be pretty.
And what specifically “won’t be pretty” about it?
You don’t even know what you’ve told them
Okay, what did I tell “them”?
WTF???
WhAt THe fUcK??!??!!!?
Fuck you.
Yeah… I figured as much. Take a walk.
Yeah, just take walks every time things seem dire. Ground yourself and find peace, ignore how tenuous it is. Then go on as normal, don’t lose faith in your principles. It’ll work out, they’re worth it, no need to abandon them.
Yeah, just take walks every time things seem dire
Things seem dire because… Checks thread people don’t treat you like a super special big strong boy just because you’re a white male?
That’s what you think I’m saying because you’ve gotten so fucking used to mocking your allies and enemies as if they are the same. You “know” they are the same. You’ve decided that they are the same.
You’re the kind of progressive that deserves to stand with the few against the cruel. Not all progressives deserve it, so it shouldn’t happen. But you would deserve it, and if there are enough of you, you will make it happen as you provoke it at every opportunity.
You taunt them to hunt people like you. And so they do. The shootings aren’t a separate phenomenon from these conversations you’re having.
You provoke enemies and push away allies.
Memucan then replied to the king and the officials, “The wrong of Queen Vashti is not against the king alone, but against all the officials and all the people who are throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus. For the matter concerning the queen will spread to all the women, leading them to treat their husbands with contempt, saying, ‘When King Ahasuerus gave orders to bring Queen Vashti into his presence, she would not come.’ And this very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media who have heard the matter concerning the queen will respond in the same way to all the royal officials, and there will be more than enough contempt and anger! If the king is so inclined, let a royal edict go forth from him, and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media that cannot be repealed, that Vashti may not come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king convey her royalty to another who is more deserving than she. And let the king’s decision which he will enact be disseminated throughout all his kingdom, vast though it is. Then all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the most prominent to the lowly.”
