Its the boy who cried wolf situation, when they keep exaggerating every story or directly lying we just tend to stop caring.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Yeah, except the problem with Trump is he’ll actually try to do it. He is literally telling you what he plans to do and no one is listening.
If you ever dive in past the headlines it is ALWAYS bullshit. How many headlines do you have to read that are lies or misleading before you realize they just lie?
I'm more concerned with Ken Paxton. That slimy little piss baby weaseled his way out of impeachment and criminal indictment and now is on a shameless tour of relentless vengeance to punish those who dared call him out.
Trump may want to do what Kenny boy is doing, but I don't think he's got the mental acumen to do it.
Of greater concern is that Trump is but a puss filled festering visual symptom of the more capable villains using his cult of personality to make his wishes come true at their more localized levels.
Trump doesn’t lie about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments, but not what he wants to do.
When Donald Trump threatened that he was going to throw immigrants in jail, “he did that,” she added. “When he said that he was going to bar Muslims from entering the country, he did that. He was going to pick the most anti-abortion judges, he did that. And now we lost Roe because of it. I’m just confused about what people think he’s kidding about.”
This is just cherry picking. Trump is a huge liar, he has said countless things that he did not do or attempt to do. Saying "well he did some of the things he said" doesn't hold much water.
Especially when part of last campaign was about getting Clinton jailed, and he didn't so that.
The guy is a huge fucking danger to this country and I wouldn't be surprised if he would do something shitty like this. But some podcast host making some stupid point like this is not worth mentioning and her point is embarrassingly bad.
That's because he had two campaign slogans in 2016:
- Make America Great Again
- Lock her up
Just another day here; unfortunately.
This is a distraction.
Trump is a distraction from the ever-increasing chokehold that the hyper-wealthy have on America.
He such a charming fellow! Why would people possibly be concerned?
FWIW, anytime someone uses the words "Everybody, Nobody, Always, Never" or their equivalent I automatically ignore whatever they are saying. Except this time, I guess. For the record, I seem to care.
To be fair, you said "anytime" which was not in your list of words. Lol
Oh Im sure the GOP would allow that kind of rhetoric from a Democrat as well, right .... GOP..... Hello .... Who wants to go on record to say this would be ok to hear from Biden
Both sides are the same right?
you are the only one saying that
Sorry. I didn't put that it was sarcasm.
/s for previous comment.
look you just need the "right criminal" in charge -every boot licking republican
Jail? The man argued in court that he is allowed to ASSASSINATE political opponents as a former president
it is the logical conclusion of american exceptionalism
A better ending is him in the fucking ground but no one wants to talk about that. Our veteran forefathers are rolling in their graves
I know of plenty who are more than happy to talk about that
It’ll get ya banned from whatever social media you’re on
Articles stopped using the word slammed and now keep saying that nobody cares.
Ok tho I know this isn't really the place but this article's picture perfectly captures how I picture it whenever I read the words "trump said/did"... like really look at his face! He looks like a fucking giant crying baby throwing a fit, not some strong great leader fighting injustice.
Seriously.
(Sorry to the baby to compare you to that monster. I hope that is the worst thing to ever happen in your life)
We CARE. We just don’t care.
Trump ran on throwing Obama in jail for unspecified 'crimes'. He had four years and started out with at least a set of competent people. Even if he wins again, his legal team will make it look like he enacted the 13th amendment of 1812 (the one that almost made it illegal for lawyers to work for the government).
My pearls have been firmly in the clutched position for the last nine years 😑
If you glue them down, you don’t even have to bother lifting your hand.
If the Supreme Court rules the president has immunity, what would stop Biden from throwing Trump in jail?
Biden won't do it because Dems are still living in a fantasy world where they can compromise with Repubs and not get stabbed in the back.
If he does do it then SCOTUS will suddenly have original interpretation which makes it unconstitutional when a Dem does it, so IDK, maybe I agree that he might as well not stoop the that level.
In jail? What would stop him from just putting a bullet in his head?
Because for some reason, Democrats insist on fighting with one arm tired behind their backs, out of this fear of being seen as unprofessional or something. Meanwhile Republicans are eye gouging and using steel chairs and get away with it. I think it's time some democrats grew some balls and started using Trump's bullshit against him
"Taking the high road" which is just working out fantastically.
I care!
It is a bit destabilizing when you find yourself included in one of the many broad groups that he wants to jail, or that he hopes burn in hell, etc. Then you see his sycophants cheering these statements and realize how unsafe you are among your neighbors.
So do I! A lot of people care. It's a stupid headline.
