Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead topped charts when Thatcher croaked, wonder what song will chart when Donnie dies?

Commenting here for a historic inb4. Hopefully we don't need to wait that long.

God, what a fucking child. I'm sick of being governed by hurt feelings.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 38 points 2 weeks ago

Being able to handle hurt fee fees like an adult needs to be a requirement for any public office.

The fact we have to check tells us a lot about the state of the world.

Wasn't Mueller behind the massive illegal spying program under George Bush Jr?

https://archive.is/PFUm4

Opponents have challenged provisions of the USA Patriot Act, the focus of contentious debate on Capitol Hill this week, that expand domestic surveillance by giving the Federal Bureau of Investigation more power to collect information like library lending lists or Internet use. Military and F.B.I. officials have drawn criticism for monitoring what were largely peaceful antiwar protests.

What Obama said was not entirely true to Robert's personality and actions, but that is beside the point.

The point is that some people have decorum and are good speakers. Some people, even if they don't mean it, are respectful of the dead, even if they don't deserve it.

And some manchildren have none of that. The day that man baby dies I probably won't have any decorum either.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

And some manchildren have none of that.

Obama very wisely and maturely appointed Mueller's protege James Comey to head the FBI. Comey very diligently and methodically played Ds and Rs against one another to secure his position as a radical centrist. And between the two of them, the conditions were laid for a Manchild to take control of the executive branch.

I just don't get the need for hagiography. All these guys sucked. Some of them were just smoother about it than others.

“It doesn’t matter if he was evil, he spoke well and respect bad people dying”

Why do centrists always police language over action?

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

"Decorum" is a top principle of so-called centrists.

You just assumed I'm a centrist because I expect politicians to be respectful of each other? Holy shit dude there is something wrong with your moral compass. Respecting people and disagreeing with them are not mutually exclusive.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I assumed you’re a centrist because you went on to praise “decorum” instead of the negatives he did, but I suppose to be fair you could also be a right winger.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes, but centrists expect us to move on and forget about all that stuff because they support it.

People like Obama and Mueller are entirely to blame for the role they played in the move towards state empowerment and fascism. However as they appear in opposition to Trump they will garner public sympathy.

Mueller being a republican, he wasnt going to do real damage to trump. but trump is very vindictive, any perception of being accused he will attack them regardless of thier loyaltly.

Unlike Capt. Bonespurs, Mueller enlisted for Vietnam and was a highly decorated Marine.

After waiting a year so a knee injury could heal, Mueller was accepted for officer training in the United States Marine Corps in 1968, attending training at Parris IslandOfficer Candidate SchoolArmy Ranger School, and Army jump school. Of these, he said later that he considered Ranger School the most valuable because he felt "more than anything teaches you about how you react with no sleep and nothing to eat."[27][28]

In the summer of 1968, he was sent to South Vietnam, where he served as a rifle platoon leader as a second lieutenant with Second Platoon, H Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines3rd Marine Division.[10][29] On December 11, 1968, during an engagement in Operation Scotland II, he earned the Bronze Star with "V" device for combat valor for rescuing a wounded Marine under enemy fire during an ambush in which he saw half of his platoon become casualties.[30][31] In April 1969, he received an enemy gunshot wound in the thigh, recovered, and returned to lead his platoon until June 1969.[32] For his service in and during the Vietnam War, his military decorations and awards included additionally, the Purple Heart, two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals with Combat "V", Combat Action RibbonNational Defense Service MedalVietnam Service Medal with four service starsRepublic of Vietnam Gallantry CrossRepublic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and Parachutist Badge.

...

Reflecting on his service in the Vietnam War, Mueller said, "I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have made it out of Vietnam. There were many—many—who did not. And perhaps because I did survive Vietnam, I have always felt compelled to contribute."[35] In 2009, he told a writer that despite his other accomplishments, he was still "most proud the Marine Corps deemed me worthy of leading other Marines."

Mueller enlisted for Vietnam

Anyone who would volunteer for that war is a fucking monster.

[-] Hatshepsut@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Mueller has cited the combat death of his Princeton lacrosse teammate David Spencer Hackett in the Vietnam War as an influence on his decision to pursue military service.[24] Of his classmate, Mueller has said, "One of the reasons I went into the Marine Corps was because we lost a very good friend, a Marine in Vietnam, who was a year ahead of me at Princeton. There were a number of us who felt we should follow his example and at least go into the service. And it flows from there."[25] Hackett was a Marine Corps first lieutenant in the infantry and was killed in 1967 in Quảng Trị province by small arms fire.[26]

I was in 1st/2nd grade, but rode the schoolbus with high schoolers in the early 70s. Kids who had relatives drafted. Everyone hated that war but some felt a need to enlist for reasons such as those of Mueller. A good friend of mine enlisted in the Marines 20 years after his uncle was killed in Vietnam, out of a sense of honoring his memory. He is no monster.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So he went to Vietnam to avenge another monster who was killed for being an invader?

We'd be better off as a society if every single person who volunteered for Vietnam never came back.

[-] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

The logic is a bit weird though. Like picking up smoking out of solidarity because your buddy died of lung cancer.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 9 points 2 weeks ago

As one of probably 12 people who actually read the Mueller report it was a list of crimes the president and conspirators committed, and very clearly left it up to the branch of government required to impeach and remove the president, legislative via Congress. That part was the job of Congress, not the judicial branch. But obviously then the US Congress abdicated their responsibilities to uphold the constitution in both the facts of the report and both impeachments, ignoring the facts of reality and their legal obligations under the constitution. Because people like Mitch McConnell whipped politicians to kill any action the executive lied that the report contained no crimes and corrupt mass media propaganda sold the lie to the public as usual. Mueller wasn't some saint, but when he had the chance to stick to his values or sell out he at least was consistent with his values.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

I cannot wait till Donny is just a Wikipedia update, from “is” to “was”

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's gonna take a revolution to overthrow Trump at this point, not that I think there should be a revolution like that.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

Did you know that it's illegal to say "We should kill the president"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8jdzfHvCI8

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yet it's not illegal to say "it'll take a huge revolution to change this country"

Correct take for the wrong reasons vs bad take wrapped in decorum.

'the difference is real' yeah sure I guess.

When you think about it, this really demonstrates how DJT fucks kids and is getting away with it

Did I miss something? Robert "Patriot Act" Mueller is now liked by Lemmy just because Trump doesn't like him?

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's about decorum.

Berlinguer[*] has been described in many ways but was generally recognised for political coherence and courage, together with a rare personal and political intelligence. A serious and morally rigorous man,[87] he was sincerely respected even by his opponents, such as the Italian Social Movement leader Giorgio Almirante,[**] who paid his homage to Berlinguer and lowered himself in front to his coffin at Botteghe Oscure.[70]

[*] national ssecretary of the Italian Communist Party (PCI)

[**] Giorgio Almirante (27 June 1914 – 22 May 1988) was an Italian politician who founded the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, which he led until his retirement in 1987

Allegedly Almirante, a guy who literally sentence fellow Italians to death, said that "Oltre il rogo non vive ira nemica" ("No foe's wraith survives the funerary pure")

Oh goodie. When trump inevitably dies and I throw a pizza party, I look forward to being able to take this screenshot, swap the names, and shove it in the face of every magat who insincerely demands civility

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

You've got at least another 5 years. His handlers will duct tape him together long enough to get the Constitution out of the way.

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

The difference is superficial, they're both voluntary participants in and beneficiaries of a fundamentally evil system at the highest level of power.

Lowkey agree with trump here (for different reasons obviously). Any leader of these imperial spy networks should be publically tortured for 1000 days before being executed slowly, to answer for their crimes. The fact that Mueller died without such comeuppance happening almost motivates me to believe in a hell so that he would suffer. I hope people piss and shit on his grave.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Once again, Obama outclasses Trump just by existing.

I'm going to create social media accounts and post this same thing about Trump when he dies.
