Did anyone actually watch the clip? Am I going crazy? It's like 20% boos and 80% applause. Very misleading title IMO.
Those responsible for the booing will be found and deported to El Salvador.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Smithers...have the Rolling Stones killed.
That came after the United States Tennis Association sent a memo to media partners requesting that they censor “disruptions or reactions” in response to Trump. “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity,” the USTA said in the memo.
Cowards.
It's funny to read yesterday's headline, aka this quote, and then read today's headline. Everyone is going to boo him tomorrow, please don't talk about it. He was in fact boo'ed, let's talk about it.
I guess funny is the wrong word. Insanity?
This is what happens when you involve yourself in someone's war against reality and rational thinking
Hope they boo louder next time.
Hope the next guy doesn't miss. Boos don't accomplish shit.
Modify as you will.
Vote with whichever of the three boxes is appropriate

Still waiting to find out that the first incident was a setup. Wouldn't be surprised to learn they found an individual desiring suicide by cop to do it and sacrificed a random magat for the cause.
That is, if it's ever actually investigated.
Funny how they don't talk about it anymore eh?
I'm thinking blatant setup
Ohhh Jack Black is going to cancel your tour
Every act of resistance, no matter how small, advances our cause and diminishes their control.
carry sand in your pockets
Hello Donald, you got sum purty lips.
Booing is pretty tame and lame, honestly.
It’s tame but not lame. Every little bit helps. If it bruised his ego even a little bit, it’s a win.
Tame but effective, imagine if everywhere you went and everything you did there was a crowd booing you.
That's why puttin sits in bunker most of the time.
I'd much rather it be a giant crowding shouting "child rapist" while throwing anything they could get their hands on at him.
while more impactful, that takes more prep time and work. there is a magic to booing. it is uncontrollable, unstoppable, and requires no thought. it gives everyone a free space in which to enter into a grand vocalization of "we stand for what you do not." there is no real way to boo performatively. there is too little room for interpretation within the reverberations of the crowd.
if you do not like booing the 47th president of the united states, i recommend digging into what the problem with the act is, and consider that there's many routes to resistance. for me, i don't like booing the president because the president is meant to be a spectacle. it doesn't matter if you love or hate him. it matters that you feel strongly. the argument i can hear is that you want to increase another kind of spectacle to give the people something to engage in. me, i want to remove him from all spectacle he engages in from my life and focus on community engagement. there is likely valor to both.
but please. consider that better than throwing things at him, giving him the spectacle he thrives in, might be when he appears at an event you are at, that means you don't care about the org that let him in in the first place anymore. get up out of your seat, and make your way to the exit, never to return again.
That's a good post, but it's wasted here. On Lemmy, any actual action is always disparaged. The only acceptable response to fascism is to sit home furiously wanking about what you'd totally do if only you had an army of meat shields to protect you from the consequences.
I mean, I personally wouldn't ask people to throw guns at him.
What's in the gun, however...
Can't be as bad as MAGA actively destroying everything I've ever held dear about this country
And now imagine you have narcissistic personality disorder and it hits so much harder
Imagine if you're the dictator of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history.
A few boos from folks in the cheap seats seems like a small price to pay when you can feast on the townsfolk every night with abandon.
but effective
Which of Trump's attacks on the US have been effectively mitigated or prevented by booing? Best I can tell, he doesn't give a single flying fuck about it.
Partly its about reminding his supporters and the neutrals that the people who actively dislike him really do exist. One of their talking points around election fraud/denialism is the idea that there just aren't enough voters against Trump to justify the votes, because that's what they're told.
Granted, they're also told that people like these booers are all paid actors. Paid by whom, and how do they keep anyone from blabbing about these arrangements?
Anyway, every person who gets splintered off from the Trump Train is a win, so push every way you can.
I don’t hear many boos. Just a crowd.
I'd deport them.
The problem with it is the fact he reacts like all bullies do: he'll have a temper-tantrum and do more despicable things even harder than before as an analog to stomping his feet in anger.
You have heard that Donnie has the most fragile ego possible, right? Mass dissent he can directly witness is far more effective than you think.
What else are you gonna do at a tennis match?
Aim a ball machine at his inflamed cankles
I don't think anyone is arguing that this is changing anything. Just that it's funny.
It IS funny for sure. And to a massive narcissist it probably stings. And hopefully pulls them out of whatever reality bubble they normally reside in. They need to be reminded that they do not have public support at every opportunity.
The Sinner-Alcaraz match
OH COME ON. YOU CAN NOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP.
I was saying boo-urns.
Whatever happened to the free speech maximalists?
They were lying
As an apt gesture of appreciation, I'm writing a stern letter to my HOA rep.
