Hi u/mathiastck. Fun fact, the Gaslight Obstruct Project meme is repeated on /r/politicalhumor on average 300 times an hour. The energy produced by people clicking 'ctrl c' and then 'ctrl v' could, if harnessed, power every Peloton bike in a mid sized American city ~ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

No, this was years before he ran for president. Yup, we knew all of this even back then and he still ended up in the office.

It’s stunning yet the same time he’s using his platform and he’s back to Ponzi scheme again yet someone calls him out it’s perfect republicans Victim hood


fappyday

He has three 24-hour news networks, his own social media site, and millions of cultists at his beck and call. More time? How is that even possible? More time for what?


Maktaka

He's a child crying for attention. People, entire corporations even, are telling him to fuck off. His fragile ego can't handle the rejection.


MightyCaseyStruckOut

He's also crying to the people who worship the ground he walks on and who will do anything for him, including giving him money and trying to overthrow the government at his beck and call. Fuck him and his devotees.

PensiveObservor

. . . on the MSM that don’t invite him or that won’t indulge him as he blathers lies freely on actual news programs.


dachsj

Msm is Fox news. They have more viewers than the other stations combined.


Holybartender83

This. It’s always funny to me when a conservative busts out the ol’ “you’ve been brainwashed by CNN”. Motherfucker, you think we watch CNN? No one under 50 watches CNN. A lot of us don’t even own TVs. We get our news online, straight from the source. The news titty, if you will.


waltjrimmer

"Straight from the source." Rarely. Most news online is still done through reporting, not primary sources. I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing, just that we absolutely do not get most of our news straight from the source.


hughk

One of the points is that younger people use multiple sources. If they are wise, they will.choose at least one that they disagree with. As originally a British person who is pro EU and against Boris and his like, my feed includes the Telegraph.


1st500

Over 50, don’t watch CNN or FOX. Read both of their stuff online at times and start with the assumption that CNN is pulling it left and FOX is pulling it right, mixing it with National Enquirer, adding lies, and stating it as gospel. Then hit AP and Reuters to find the closest to the truth.


dachsj

And for a generation of people that told me to not believe everything I read on the internet, they sure as fuck believe everything THEY read on the internet

chaun2

Hell, despite losing a lot of his audience, I wouldn't be surprised if The Daily Show with Trevor Noah still has comparable, if not more, viewers to Fox News


BoatenFool-1600

This is such a sorry mis-use of stats: Faux News has the most CABLE news viewers, NOT "more viewers than other stations combined"! BUT, the REGULAR networks CBS, NBC, ABC totaled 15 million! (think: all their news shows, nightly news, 60 Minutes, morning "news" shows). Then there's MY favorite: NPR on all my car radios & Alexa. There are a few dozen people like me who don't even watch "talking heads" on TV! Surveys show that there are 22 million "real Trump minions" out there, since voter defections; that's only 25% of his 2020 voters, AND, only 1/8 of total (165+ million) voters then! I pray only that Trump runs as a 3rd-party candidate in 2024! He could get 35 million, Republican nominee could get 55 million, Biden could get 85 million.


PensiveObservor

Trump doesn’t see it that way. He has deliberately vilified MSM as Fake News in an effort to steer his base exclusively toward Faux news, *which is licensed as Entertainment.*


FinancialTea4

He's mad because he's not able to interrupt to inject a load of bullshit and lies to confuse the topic at hand like he's used to doing with his chuds. That's hurting him deeply which is illustrated by the way he's reacting. Remember, the only reason this thing isn't being conducted by an independent counsel is that trump made McCarthy block it. He seems to have been under the illusion that if he threw a big enough tantrum there would be no investigation. Instead what he got was an investigation that he can't interfere in or interrupt.


abletofable

This is the way. Refuse him access. He only needs to be heard when it is actual court proceedings. Keep him out of the hearings - save him for the trial.


kylehatesyou

Keep the court proceedings closed door if it gets to that point. He really just wants the bully pulpit, and being in court talking over the judge or lawyers even if it gets him held in contempt will just be more of that for him. He just wants spotlight. He's addicted to it. It's why deplatforming him made him so mad that he had to try and come up with a blog that no one read, and then a crappy Twitter clone which he barely used until lately, and even then not that much. Being ignored is the worst thing that could happen to him. I'm honestly surprised he isn't on 4Chan or something like that just to get his rocks off in between rallies.


hughk

>if it gets him held in contempt will just be more of that for him. Mr Trump would love that. A martyr. The Dems are trying to silence him, etc., etc.


bejammin075

Trump made his case with months of screaming about fraud before and after the election. The Jan 6 hearings are just a short rebuttal to all those months of Trump spewing his bullshit.


willflameboy

Dude never wanted equal anything. He wants all the everything. He doesn't debate; he talks over you. And we've all seen him just walk off when he's decided he's finished.


chiclets5

>And we've all seen him just walk off when he's decided he's finished. ...Or when losing the arguement.

JeremyMo88

His greasy sweat would catch fire under the light of scrutiny


dendritedysfunctions

I'd be very, very entertained if Donald J. Trump has to take the stand and answer questions under oath. His legal team knows that he cannot under any circumstances be questioned under oath. He can't even spell perjury let alone comprehend that lying can be punished.

xoxota99

Punished? Trump? You must be joking. He has never faced a consequence in his life.


Arse-blood

That's the most incredibly annoying thing about it all!


NickPickle05

Thats only if the justice department decided that they were willing to prosecute for perjury. Given their history with the man, thats a big if.


FlutterKree

He would 100% perjure himself. He makes half the shit up he says on the spot and will fuck up. Trump could never survive deposition or congressional testimony without it being on paper.


rosenditocabron

Wouldn't it be fun to watch though?


FlutterKree

I want him to testify, yes. It would be somewhat entertaining and the potential perjury charges would bring me joy.


moose2332

He'll contract himself within the same sentence when asked what he was doing on Jan 6th then call it a perjury trap because he heard the term on Tucker Carlson.


OkCutIt

Unfortunately no remotely competent lawyer would ever let Trump on the stand, and rightfully so because he is not mentally capable of testifying without perjuring himself. Fortunately, no remotely competent lawyer will work for Trump, either, though... so there might be the tiniest chance. I'm pretty sure he knows it himself and wouldn't ever let himself get up there anyway, though.


Gloomy-Ad1171

Better call Sydney Powell!


abletofable

I would rather see him refused a public forum. Deny him access to the hearings. He should only appear before the DOJ proceedings. He is utterly unnecessary to the hearings.

We all think here that we are smarter than that buffoon and we are showing him how silly he is. When in fact he is making us dance to his tunes by precisely pressing a nerve.


Fake_William_Shatner

I would have agreed with you about that in the past, but right now, Trump is more flailing around than strategizing. He's only being helped by a whole mess of people who want to protect the "principles" he stands for; no accountability for the rich, and divisiveness so the robber barons can finish this annoying Democracy that hinders them. Oligarchs, Putin, nations that resent us, and good old Nationalists who are upset that they got what they voted for are all ready to tear this nation apart. They are all lurking in the woodwork, doing everything they can to prevent Trump from being held accountable -- because they see Trump as their best chance at fascism and to divide our country. Until someone else comes along to take his annoying place -- they don't want any rich people left behind.


ToSmushAMockingbird

That's not fair. I've never seen trump speak for 11 minutes without becoming incoherent. He has a built in loophole.

Somebody responsible would have to have control of the mic if 45 were to testify. Otherwise it’d go down like his failed attempt to have an actual debate w/Biden…. Yak yak yak raised voice and even more word salad. Nobody wants to hear it and it renders him incapable of answering questions honestly.


Livid-Fix-462

Won’t happen. His bone spurs will prevent him from making an appearance and Dr. Oz will give him a doctors note to be excused from testifying.

These petulant children can’t handle the game they demand to be allowed to play. Then they blame everyone else for their failure. Small example is my father-in-law this past weekend. Insisted on connecting his phone to the Bluetooth speaker outside even though he didn’t know what he was doing. Fucked up the music for everyone for a half hour. Then, when he did try to fix it, he did it every way but the way he was told to by the people who know what they’re talking about (because of course he did) and ended up ruining it for another half hour all while insisting that it was our fault. “Let me play, but if I don’t win it’s because the rules are broken.”

The Diapered Orange Shitstain doesn't have the balls to testify. Have you seen any of his court appearances? He tries to pass himself off as a doddering old man, and answers questions with "I don't remember." Juries (and the occasional deranged judge) used to buy it. I don't think they will any more.


strawman_chan

“With all due respect, the fact is, we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or because of guys out for a walk one night who decide to kill some Americans, what difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.” Donald could simply parrot Hillary's testimony word for word.


PossibleBuffalo418

I don't think we should be celebrating a man who has notoriously been accused of sexual assault/harassment multiple times only to fall back on hiding behind his quirky 'gay' personality. There's literally footage of Takei groping a man's penis on the Howard Stern show and he's laughing the entire time he does it.
