every accusation is a confession

Well shit, we knew that

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 63 points 4 hours ago

He's talking about how long young people will last on the supreme court. Still gross, but this article is click-baity and dumb with its premise.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 25 points 3 hours ago

Ok, imagine Joe Biden said it.

Imagine the histrionics.

[-] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

It would still be a dumb article.

What an absolutely fucking ridiculous comparison...

I hate defending Trump, but this is the difference between LIFETIME appointments vs maybe 4 years, 8 tops for president... He's absolutely correct, you're an idiot if you choose an old person to be a judge for SCOTUS since you open up the possibility of them being replaced sooner...

In a world that isn't completely corrupted by partisan hacks we shouldn't care who ends up on the court, but because of billionaires we don't get to have that world...

BE BETTER MEDIA ASSHATS.

:/

I hate defending Trump, but

Then don't. You aren't obligated to defend him.

I disagree with his sentiment. Higher turn over on the Supreme Court is part of the proposed Supreme Court reform.

Defending him because "nuance" is stupid, he doesn't have any, why project it on him? What has he done to earn it? This is how narcissists maneuver -- people's eagerness to see their good side; it doesn't exist for the narcissists.

This is like that "sanewashing" thing. "What he means is this..." no. No need to do him any favors.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 1 hour ago

But it's not even that. He said what he meant and then the chucklefucks looking for clicks went on with the "BuT HeS oLd ToO! HuR dUr, HoW dUmB!" when it's not the same comparison at all.

I guess I'm just sick of all large media outlets lately.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 1 hour ago

Just because he's an asshole doesn't make what he said wrong. I'm more angry at "the media" for trying to make something out of nothing for clicks. Their comparison is stupid.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Then what you want is term limits.

I don't like Trump, but I get his point. It's the same argument he makes about taxing the rich. Guess who has the power to fix that, too?

People in power rarely make laws to limit themselves.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

"His point" makes it sound like he's thought about it. I guarantee you he has not. This is a talking point he was reminded of five minutes before the planted question was asked and he almost blew that.

Seriously, he's demented. His only thoughts revolve around him and his money - that's it.
