We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they're shocking.

Yeah dude, the lying liar lied.

Literally every time this dude opens his mouth he is either lying or spewing hate. Sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, so will Trump lie.

[–] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I disagree. When we stop pointing out the lies that the lying liar tells, we are complicit in him getting away with the lies. A shitload of people aren't really paying much attention. Those people might believe his lies if they're not seeing anybody pointing out that what he's saying is a lie.

Honestly, I'd rather see it pointed out even more what a fucking liar he is. I want the media to stop saying "falsely states" and other bullshit soft language, and then let it go to fucking trial and beat him if he tries to sue for slander/libel. It's a fucking disgrace that they're not only choosing to not do this, but they're settling when he claims that they're factual reporting on him is defamation or election interference. But honestly, at this point, I won't be satisfied until he's in a stockade and getting pelted by overpriced eggs.

Eggs.

Eggs.

Eggs.

I never said stop reporting, I said stop acting surprised. I don't want them to stop talking about it, I just want them to be honest about it and say "Trump lied about this today" instead of "the Trump white house thinks...."

I just want them to call a spade a spade instead of acting like it's not

[–] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah, I misinterpreted your phrasing. "We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they're shocking" sounded like "nobody is shocked by his lies, so there's no point in bothering to report on it." You meant "stop feigning surprise in your reporting of his lies." I fully agree with you.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Cheers

When has his doctors not been full of it.

Trump draft dodging

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Im not saying Trump is 6'3*, he's clearly not. I myself have shrunk over an inch and I'm younger than him by a generation. But people don't always measure the same, or try to. I have a friend who is 6'1" who swears he's 5'11". He never stands up straight. At my tallest I was 5'11 3/4" and you better believe I was giving my measurements all I could hoping I'd get to 6'. My guess is Trump once was 6'3", has shrunk to just a little over 6', and Newsom is probably closer to 6'4". But without putting a measuring tape to them, what the hell do any of us know?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah I don't really give a fuck about Trump's height tbh, but you can see by their shadows that Newsom is walking slightly in front and the lens could be affecting our perspectives. Makes the difference seem larger than it is.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

My money would be on Trump only ever being 5'11. Obama was 6'1 and Trump was still several inches shorter.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 5 points 6 days ago

Rewarding sanity in these not sane times with this small vote up

This is important if we’re gonna poke fun, so we know whether to defend the “fact” sarcastically or not

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There’s absolutely no way the difference between newsom and trump in that pic is 3”

Hello fellow 5'11 3/4-er. I gave up on it a while ago. At least even the thinnest shoes put me over 6'0.

Look at my traitor of a governor with the monarchist tyrant.

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Traitor implies he's changed his allegiance. You just never liked his allegiance but didn't realize.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

This is possibly true. He seemed more left leaning as the mayor of San Francisco, and I didn't realize he was actually a chameleon.

[–] notarobot@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

You are missing the point. AFAIK, a foot and an inch are supposed to be based off of the kings measurements. He might be 6 of his own feet (not sure how the plural works here) because he sees himself as the king

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

Never get your picture taken with the Devil.

[–] cyphear@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Trump reminds me of Charlie Sheen. Trump is always"winning", hangs out with pornstars, and his ego is so inflated that Freud would quit doing cocaine. Trump needs to be treated like Reagan was. Like, when the secret service would place leaves in the pool. But, in this case, give him a room with a camera and tell him that he matters. But it broadcasts to nobody.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

See? Same hight.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago

That's what happens when you drink straight from the orange tap.

[–] jabeez@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

And Elmo is 6'2, something sure seems off, can't believe the compulsive liar would lie about that tho

[–] SSNs4evr@leminal.space 3 points 5 days ago

And look at them both, dwarfed by the 6 foot 9 inch first Lady! She should play basketball!

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Melania is 5”’11” (180.34 cm) so this might just be a matter of perspective.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Looks like her shoes are 1-2” heels here too… so I’m not sure how far off this would make everyone?

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How do we know her height is correct? Why assume one wouldn't lie if all the others do?

Im 5’10” and when I met her she was taller than myself. Donnie could have lifts but he might actually be 6ft+

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Also, Melania wishing for just any other powerful guy.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

she wants trudeau whos available, and single currently.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

That's because his 6 foot 3 inch is metric while Newsoms is in imperial

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Why is this giving clown wearing a hat with a suit?
