Sauceless. 484 likes on his own platform.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that precisely 0% of those likes came from actual human beings who parsed the entirety of that linguistic catastrophe.

Signing off every post with "thank you for your attention in this matter" is the most Boomer thing ever

Yes please PLEASE keep doubling down on this timmy-pray

It is really possible he could admit those charges and say "yes, I did all the unspeakable stuff, what are you gonna do about it weakling"

"It's all [the Democrats] have. They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates"

Damn even when his mind is melting he's still got the Dems 10000% pegged, broken clock etc

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

That's the thing. He's not wrong about the first half and everyone knows it except the true believers in Bluemaga.

It's interesting watching both parties destroy themselves. I think Matt Christman was just one election off from his comical prediction of a turnout of like 100,000 people nationally. With no trump and a dead democratic party, what would a future election even look like?

Not that I believe in electoralism, so it really doesn't matter

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 67 points 2 days ago (2 children)

lol, Steamed Hams but it's Trump defending the elite pedo cabal

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 66 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Epstein files? In the white house? Localized entirely in the west wing? May i see them?

No.

I saw an analysis of boomer online typing that found it’s highly similar to the style of prose people used on postcards, back when those were for actual mailing. So boomers type like they’re mailing someone a post card from the Grand Canyon.

[–] Sleve_McDichael@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Hello from the biggest HOLE in the ground. No “McDonald’s” here… Love, Donald

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that kinda just pushes the question back a step though. why did they write that way on postcards? did prior generations also write on postcards like that?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

My guess is it’s one of those “the medium is the message” things. Postcards have this odd combination of being both a medium of sentimentality, but also brevity. There’s no room for flowery language, so it ends up with emotional but sparse prose. To the point but no real point.

[–] CrookedSerpent@hexbear.net 28 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Okay I type like that, RELAX...

Because many people write roughly how they talk, and a lot of old people talk kind of like this (though this is more structured than Trump usually manages when he speaks).

I guess we're seeing play out in real time Trump's ability to damage control. Can he string along his drooling boob base by blowing smoke up their ass about this being a hoax or will they break off and turn on him? My bet, some are going to get pissed and turn on him but give it another week or two and the rest of these morons will move onto the next culture war slop trough.

[–] Doubledee@hexbear.net 56 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Anecdotally the Chud in my life believes he's being threatened with assassination by Mossad, which is why he's backing down. Also that the GOP will force the truth to come out, which will not, somehow, result in his assassination by said Mossad.

Also he likes Israel and supports their wars. shrug-outta-hecks

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Also he likes Israel and supports their wars

Did you ask if Mossad was threatening him??

I'd say yes on both counts.

He's likely going to lose more support over this than any of the other shit he's pulled so far, but it's still only going to be a portion of his base, and the rest are going to just pretend they never cared about Epstein and keep the faith.

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 50 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I just checked out r/conservative to gauge their temperature and the whole front page is Epstein with 90% of the posts condemning Trump and speculating on his complicity. This is a sub that has been OVERWHELMINGLY defensive of Trump on every other issue, no matter how nakedly corrupt. The story is only growing by the day and it may very well be what implodes MAGA.

[–] Real_User@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

I'm also on the "they're going to forgot about this" train but if there's anything that could sink him, this would be it.

[–] footfaults@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's wild though because honestly I think Blue MAGA would absolutely not revolt against the Democrats, if they were in a position like this.

The right wing knows how to discipline their elected officials.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because "it's a right wing hoax" is all blueMAGA needs to hear lol

do these idiots forget Epstein died in jail while he was President? and nothing happened?

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

That doesn't sound right. It must have happened while Hillary Clinton was president, surely that's why everyone pointed fingers at her as opposed to Trump.

[–] Coolkidbozzy@hexbear.net 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates.

when he's right he's right

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also unlike republicans they stick together like glue

I really can't believe they're doing this to themselves, I genuinely thought the epstein shit was about to get memory hole'd, like a month ago I thought about epstein, and realized I hadn't heard anything in a while, no big news, no one I know mentioned it for months and months before then

safe to say I'm pleasantly surprised

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

They could have literally just done nothing and it wouldn’t have made any difference

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 45 points 2 days ago

So yeah, he's a pedo

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 49 points 2 days ago

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Classic cult leader behavior. Shed the less-adherent members while punishing them, which either isolates them from fully-adherent members or brings them back into the fold.

Like all of the most successful cult leaders, I doubt he even knows he's doing it.

it'll be fun to watch them internalize this contradiction, this has been basically what he ran on besides the concentration camps

I said a while ago he better be careful about this shit he brought up and won't deliver on. This is the rare good thing his base is seething over. The other is the endless wars.

I will happily watch this implode

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

Cant wait to see the YouTube titles chuds come up with to talk about this

Donald Trump is Cancelling THESE PATRIOTS for Just Asking Questions

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Full textThe Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It’s all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

i didnt really believe in the so-called "epstein client list" but now that trump is going so hard against it, i dunno, maybe it is real

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

Anyone who is despairing at this is undoubtedly a person who heard about Trump and Epstein years ago and decided to believe whatever bullshit about "white hats" and Trump going undercover to expose the deep state cabal!

That lie's chicken is now coming home to roost.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

You know what is a conspiracy, though? The idea that English had a formalized system of spelling and grammar prior to 1987. They just made all that shit up and printed it in textbooks, and, as the generation that authored the conspiracy ages, the seams are becoming increasingly visible.
