The anti-Trump protester arrived at the Prettyman federal courthouse in Washington D.C. and proceeded to start begging bystanders to help him escape a prison sentence for his alleged conspiracy to defraud the United States and illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.

The craziest part of this whole deal is the support for him hasn't really shifted.

Despite or because of all these legal problems, Trump remains by far the favorite for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination>

All the Republican/Trump supporters I've ever met here in New Zealand (why? Who the hell knows)are batshit crazy. Most of them Christians too surprise surprise.

[-] TheFriendlyArtificer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I will never understand how he has international fans.

Do other countries not have comparable sociopathic narcissists?

[-] Boldizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It baffles me too.

There was an antivax mandate protest at Parliament here last year and there were actually people in the crowd holding Trump 2024 posters. Like wtf?!

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

You can thank Rupert Murdoch and his cable TV "news" empire. He has propaganda channels internationally that all spout the same pro-Trump/right wing crap that idiots fall for.

And usually all these pressers do is increase his donations. It's wild.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago

That story just got better and better

“Prettyman federal court house” .. I know it’s just a name but it works so well in this case.

You can say fucks on the internet

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago

I'm telling!

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Reported to the cyberpolice.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

He was saying farms. Because the guy is a wheat farmer.

I try to be sensitive to victims of sexual violence and verbal abuse. But I don’t mind for my own sake.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The word ‘sake’ offends me.

Can you try to limit your usage of it?

[-] dunning_cougar@waveform.social 5 points 2 years ago

Yes, my apologies if I caused distress.

[-] pozbo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I find the word distressing to be vulgar. Please cease use of it.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Excuse me, the word "vulgar" offends me greatly. If you would be so kind, please refrain from ever using such a vile word around me again.

[-] dunning_cougar@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago

I’m sorry for triggering any negative connotations associated with that word, I’ll be more sensitive going forward.

[-] Solarius@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

"Guy" could also be triggering for some trans folks! May want to just use gender neutral pronouns regardless of who you're talking about because you never know who's reading and how it could affect their day ^_^

[-] dunning_cougar@waveform.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yesss thanks for the feedback, I’ll do better in the future. The article seemed to indicate a male identifying person, but I shouldn’t have assumed that.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Saying "trigger" is insensitive to victims of gun violence.

[-] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

I firmly believe shit like this annoys him more than anything else.

[-] girlfreddy@mastodon.social 5 points 2 years ago

@FreeloadingSponger @girlfreddy@sh.itjust.works

Very few of us can accept parody of ourselves ... least of all sociopaths/psychopaths.

[-] 4am@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

You see, gentlemen? True patriots do still exist. 🥲

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

Who does not like a good taunting!

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago
