“Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump said.

While standing in Detroit... Lmao.

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 103 points 3 weeks ago

He should have continued with a "you people" comment so he could seal the deal.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 112 points 3 weeks ago

He insults America while in America almost every day. His followers always know he means the non-white and non-male parts.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 59 points 3 weeks ago

I'm a Republican who Does His Own Research and I was there and this is FAKE NEWS! I Saw him say this and he DIDNT say this!

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

You're getting good at this

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 38 points 3 weeks ago

i listened to some clips from this appearance. he sounded a bit subdued.. like he's been beaten and whipped, and hasn't had his nap or his 'pick-me-ups' today.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago

Thats just ol' Drowsy Don

[-] schema@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Stimulants and other drugs will only work for so long. Eventually, even bigger doses won't help, and there might be a whipsplash effect at some point.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, one of the differences between how stimulants work as a treatment for conditions like adhd vs as a pick me up is that. Tolerance is a minor annoyance when it’s there to mess with your neurochemistry, but as a “go drug” eventually you’ve gotta pay up. Nothing is free when it comes to using drugs to enhance beyond normal, and the further you go the more debt you accrue.

Detroit airport was very nice last time I went through. I really wish I had time to leave the airport. Next time I'm gonna stop a bit longer.

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago

I'm a Detroiter. Born here and I've lived a lot of places, but Detroit has the most genuinely kind people you will ever meet. Detroit is a cool city in beautiful state. Fuck Ohio.

[-] Neuromancer49@midwest.social 32 points 3 weeks ago

Ohioan here. You're not wrong. Sorry about JD Vance.

[-] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Don’t forget about Gym Jordan you asshole!

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Ohio is like our little brother. It's fun to pick on you, but down deep we love you.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That’s the thing I think people don’t get (including some of our own) this hatred is supposed to be teasing. Michigan is lovely even if some of my relatives would die before admitting it. Y’all’ve had your troubles as have we, and I actually point to y’all as where I’d like our state to get closer to. You seem to really be pulling out of the rust belt spiral.

I definitely agree. I moved to outer Detroit a few years ago and was surprised with how nice everybody is.

Does it still have that cool underground tunnel lit in all those colors?

[-] criticon@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, it connects concourse A and B/C in the Delta (McNamara) terminal

[-] CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think you’re thinking of O’Hare in Chicago.

[-] DBT@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Detroit has crazy light show tunnel in their airport. I don’t know about Chicago, but can confirm Detroit.

[-] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

They don't tone it down at night either. Going through there at 3AM after a long flight is complete sensory overload.

I don't remember that. I remember it being very Motown themed and actually having decent facilities with good reasonably priced food.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago
[-] criticon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

You only use that if you need to go from concourse A to B/C which is mostly used for regional flights

[-] themadcodger@kbin.earth 3 points 3 weeks ago

That would make sense since the only time I've flown through Detroit was to my brother's tiny regional airport in PA

[-] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it’s my favorite airport! Clean, quiet, dope train

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

Trump could see a family of his supporters, shoot the child, and the family will love him more. This man can do no wrong and won't do anything wrong in their eyes.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

He knows his voter base has net zero self-respect

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago

The mouth breathers won’t care

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 17 points 3 weeks ago

the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl

Woah woah woah there, Mr. Mayor. Let's let the season play out before we get to big for our britches.

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

If the Lions win the Superbowl, we'll take Kid Rock and Ted Nugent back.

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

Hey now that's an awful big group decision you just made for everyone in Michigan

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

They will die of syphilis soon anyway

[-] ech@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'm sure people were saying that about Trump 30 years ago.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, but they have to be held in a 3ft by 4ft cell with Jefferson Starship's We Built This City constantly piped in.

I spent a weekend in Detroit on vacation. It was nice! I loved the Ford museum.

And the "..." wasn't even me editing the headline, that was in the original headline

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

That man's potato is mashed.

[-] kelargo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Stockholm syndrome campaign strategy

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yet some there who are offended will still vote for him. There is no hope of getting stupid people to change.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, yeah. Lots of shitholes all over. I live in one myself.

It's kind of the opposite of "developing" though. All it's industry got ripped away from it. Nothing got put back. I don't know why every country thinks it's OK to have a handful of rich cities and a whole load of former "something" towns.

If any politician came to my city and said it was a shithole during a speech, I'd not be offended and would totally agree. This city is a shithole.

Be different if they insulted the people of the city, though.

[-] Wolf314159@startrek.website 5 points 3 weeks ago

Do you not understand that it is the people that make any city shit hole? Like, it can't be blamed on the buildings, the landscape, or the economy. A city isn't a place, it's the people. When someone says a city is a shit hole, they ARE insulting the people.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
