Redditsux'Wow': Observers horrified by 'scary' Trump brag showing he's following 'Putin's playbook'
Donald Trump over the weekend posted a graphic that alarmed numerous political observers.
Trump took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to post the graphic, which is called, “President Trump is reshaping the media.” The image celebrates that NPR, Stephen Colbert, Jim Acosta, and others in the media are “gone,” while noting that CNN and the FCC have both been “reformed” by the president.
All the people resigning at CBS News and others and all of the comedians that are being kicked off of the air should start their own network via streaming service online. There’s enough talent and knowledge here being kicked to the curb to make one hell of a new streaming service.
CharlesDarwinWhat’s really terrible is that the media was not even liberal to begin with. The RWAs have been pissing their pants about how the “MSM” is so very liberal for decades when they are anything but.
100% right here. Propaganda has taken MAGA so easily. Humans in the future will wonder why they were so easily hooked.
While we all have and know so much information in our modern age, the average peasant during the rebound age of the 21st century knew less in total then you can find on a single digiread today.
SeeMarkFlyWe are starved for true knowledge while drowning in information.
College = expensive, advertising = free.
We wonder the same about Germans in the 30’s, but I think I can better understand why they did. I have no idea why we did.
Its almost like the same parasite that infected the germans has slowly taken root in the usa.
DevolutionHave a black man as president broke the national brain. It would be like a Uyghur chairman in China. See how fast the Han chin se would break… Further
It’s narcissism. Enough of the population became so self absorbed and lacking in empathy that they could be rallied by an enabler. Same case in Germany. Obviously 70 million Americans don’t have NPD, but he has a way of amplifying the tiny bit of narcissism in the common person.
AkasazhThe nazis fully admitted they were inspired by the US and how we treated slaves and genocided indigenous populations. And the US learned that garbage from their colonizer forefathers. Even now it’s a bunch of jackholes in America copying nazis. Xerox of a xerox style, which is why they all look so cartoonishly stupid in their evil machinations. It’s a circlejerk of one group of white assholes all duplicating each other because they think their skin and their money (never forget the money is a BIG FUCKING PART OF IT) makes them god’s special asshats.
You’d think so but what did we used to say about Nazi Germany and now where are we at?
UnderpantsWeevilthe media was not even liberal to begin with
Liberals have been eager for regime change in Iran for as long as their conservative peers.
Bombing Tehran is one of the few things Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump can agree on.
The difference though is liberals never went to war with Iran for the regime change and that’s a big one.
Maybe not Iran. Every US president in recent history has started or escalated bullshit wars for regime change.
I like how you say “or escalated” to “both sides” it and avoid admitting Republicans started all the wars.
That’s not true though. Republicans started the longest lasting wars, but Democratic presidents still initiated or escalated many, many conflicts during that time. en.wikipedia.org/…/Timeline_of_United_States_mili…
I do agree that Republicans are worse but let’s not pretend that Democrats have clean hands either.
liberals never went to war with Iran
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has repeatedly intervened in the internal affairs of Iran, from the Mosaddegh coup of 1953 to the present day.
From military coups to political assassinations to stuxnet computer viruses, we’ve been launching and directing military operations against Iran for over 70 years.
You’re really pushing this democrats are as bad as republicans thing hey?
The only problem is we’re seeing that it’s not true and it really feels like people are trying to push this narrative just in time for the midterms.
it really feels like people are trying to push this narrative just in time for the midterms.
Come on, fart! I see you around all the time on the Fediverse. We’ve been saying this shit non-stop for years. This is just disingenuous.
What’s disingenuous is pretending there’s another option besides democrats and that democrats aren’t significantly better than what’s happening now.
We came! We Saw! He Died!
Who said that? Not Julius Cesar. Cesar’s statement was actually far less bloodthirsty and sociopathic. These are the words of Hillary Clinton gloating that a 70-year-old head of state was sodomized by a bayonet on film.
Do not come
Who said that? Not your dom. That has Kamala Harris, telling immigrants of South America who were feeling the devastation that the US has been causing there for decades (both parties) to not seek refuge here because we will torture you, we will kill you, we will put your toddlers in solitary confinement and cause them brain damage, and we will increase the funding and arming and head count of the groups that take these actions.
There’s a single puppeteer called the owning class. They have two sock puppets, one is red, the other is blue. We are both watching the same play. I say “they’re both sock puppets”. You say “they’re clearly different colors, and one of them curses more and is clearly more angry and racist”. I look at you and say “they’re both sock puppets”
You get upset because I won’t choose your preferred character in the charade.
Corporate profits go up under Democrats.
The US criminal justice system, including the parole system, manages at lease 3x more of our population than any other country in the world. It’s larger than the largest carceral system ever in human history, as a function of population. The American prison system produces over $100B in profit annually, and the prisoners working as slaves produce over $11B in goods and services.
Oh. Speaking of prison slaves, Bill and Hillary Clinton had black house slaves in the Arkansas governors mansion. They had all the power they needed to hire people and pay them a wage, but they stuck with the tradition of black house slaves.
How far back we need to go? Truman and Operation Paperclip saving 10k Nazis from justice? Bill Clinton and his selective use of “war for humanitarian aid” dropping depleted uranium on Yugoslavia but not lifting a finger for the actual genocide in Rwanda?
And of course then there’s the sociopathic sanctions regime, a collective punishment crime against humanity that kills more people than war, and specifically effects children and the elderly. US-led sanctions kill about 800k people annually. This has been true for 50 years. Both parties, my friend. Both parties are killing children.
They’ve all committed war crimes. They’ve all committed crimes against humanity. They’ve all killed countless children. They’ve all overseen corporate super profits and massive exploitation. They’ve all fought against unions (looking at you, Biden). They’ve all protected the ultra rich. They’ve all expanded the genocidal US military. They’ve all expanded the domestic police force until it’s as large as China’s military. They’ve all expanded federal policing and stripped civil rights in the “Constitution-Free Zone” that 80% of Americans live in. They’ve all been terrible for black people (yes even Obama).
They’re on the same team - team global domination. Every single scrap the Democrats throw you is the equivalent to the dog whistles the Republicans through to the people you look down on. You’re a better person, sure, but you’re just as easily manipulated. All you need is an AOC photoshoot at the fences of her crying and you know you made the right choice. Never mind that the kids in cages got worse under Biden, that the use of solitary got worse under Biden, and that the death of children all over the planet continued under Biden and got far far worse in Gaza under Biden. At least you voted for the good ones, right?
Oh man what I’d give to have Hillary, Kamala or Bill in the office and Trump on the street right now.
Me too. Because i’d be rubbing all their atrocities in your face and you’d be saying “not in an election year!”
Put someone better up who has a chance of winning and I’ll vote for them.
LOL. No one cares who you vote for, certainly the people in power don’t care. Do you not read the research, or do you deliberately ignore it. Public opinion has ZERO impact on which laws get passed. This has been true for decades. What does have an impact on which laws get passed is whether the ultra minority of the rich approve it or not.
Your vote is meaningless. I don’t need to put up a better candidate, but electoralism has abjectly failed. You’re gonna keep voting for the least bad candidate and your least bad candidates are going to continue to mass murder children. Real solid theory of action you got there.
democrats are as bad as republicans
I’m using the typical definition of the term liberal, not the online leftist version, though. I know what you are going for, but probably about 5% of the population even grasps the way the online leftists talk about liberals (“shitlibs”) and so on.
We are talking about a population that hears the beginning part of “Libertarian” and assumes that means the equivalent to liberal. Same thing when it comes to neoliberal policies. I bet the number of Americans that understand what neoliberal entails is vanishingly small.
Hillary does not seem all that liberal to me in any case, despite what the far right claims about people like her and her husband and Biden and Obama and Kamala…
Hillary does not seem all that liberal to me
She and her husband have been in leadership within the liberal party of the largest liberal government on earth for… what? 16 of the last 24 years?
If they’re not liberal, who is?
You mean the propagandized definition and philosophical definition, right? Democrats are liberals. Libertarians are liberals. Republicans are liberals.
From wikipedia:
Different liberals espouse various and sometimes conflicting views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support liberal democracy, private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.
Wow, this is exactly what Neoconservatives dating back to the Nixon Administration Vladimir Putin has always wanted
If you are surprised because a fascist fuck is doing lhe fascist things he said he would do after being voted… I have something to tell you. And you won’t like it.
This is what happens when a considerable part of a society has the critical thinking skills of an amoeba.
What else would you expect from Putin’s bitch?
I’m actually surprised. I didn’t expect that he’d straight up copy Putin. I expected more. Don’t ask me why, but I did
Playbook? The fucker is basically doing everything Putin is asking him to do.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 Yeah…? He’s following the playbook that Putin gave him and told him to follow.
Script. Trump is following Putin’s script.
Is truly amazing Trump has 2 puppet masters. Explains why his sphincter is failing, two arms to the elbow is a challenge for almost everyone.
“I’m not a puppet, you are the puppet…” Donald Trump
