Reached for comment, Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, said, “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of shit and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Very cordial and presidential

Dear Lord, that's an actual quote.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ok grok please write a response to this enquiry about a quote. Make it sound less woke.

[-] karashta@piefed.social 19 points 3 weeks ago

The instant someone says Trump Derangement Syndrome, I assume they are either a moron or acting in bad faith, or both

[-] cowfodder@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Then sue for defamation! I'm sure nothing incriminating would come up during discovery...

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

All of these descriptors aptly describe Steven Cheung. I don't know why anyone contacts him for anything. He just produces substanceless verbal diarrhea. You can just not talk to a "communications director" as a journalist.

The counter to TDS is TCD (Trump Cuckold Derangement).

Main characteristic is the ardent belief that Trump will love the person after continued engagement on one's knees.

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Everybody buckled in for at least 3 and a half more years of headlines that everyone already knows and nobody will do anything about?

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

MAGA after Trump:

Calls his own daughter hot - “We don’t care”

Walking into a change room of underage girls and bragging about it - “We don’t care”

Blatant Fraud - “We don’t care”

Blackmail - “We don’t care”

Sexual Assault - “We don’t care”

Rape - “We don’t care”

And now we can definitively add:

Openly protecting a pedophile and pedophile ring - “We don’t care”

🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️ 🤷

Pedos & sex offenders > People of colour

She's gonna get Epstein'ed.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's so gross that it's come to this point. Human traffickers and rapists that have incriminating and destructive knowledge of a rapist who has been growing totalitarian power.

What a fucked up timeline we live in

[-] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

She might trip and fall out of a window, though.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago
[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Would not be surprised if the camera outside her cell has a time skip just before she un-alives herself…

[-] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

un-alives herself

For fuck’s sake. This is not baby’s first Miiworld, this is not club penguin. Say kills. Say commits suicide. Say hangs/gets strangled/finds a gun under her bed and blows her brains out, spraying chunks of bone blood and flesh on the concrete. Say murder when you see murder, say genocide when you see genocide. Words have meaning.

You can use the correct words on the Fediverse. If anyone doesn’t want to see the word “suicide” they can filter it out. Tumblr got this right twenty years ago and modern social media has been beating newspeak out of previously fully communicative human beings. I swear to fuck I would rather have every single comment on Lemmy say skibidi gyatt ohio L aura about any serious topic than to see “unalived” one more fucking time. This is embarrassing.

……. Uh anyway yeah unskippable cutscene am I right haha crazy

(I actually believe both she and Jeffy have a probable reason to kill themselves: they may be otherwise facing a fate worse than death…)

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Dude it's a joke, a witticism.

Officially, it's suicide, but everyone knows it's murder. You can acknowledge the absurdity by calling it a third absurd thing, like un-alived.

[-] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

It’s not a witticism. Users of a lot of modern mass media platforms (TikTok is the one that comes to mind) need to use increasingly euphemistic language to speak about anything. Unalive a specific, famous one, you must have seen it before, even in deeply serious situations. Imagine someone sobbing while retelling a deeply personal experience only to say “I wanted to unalive myself 🥺” straight-faced between tears. That’s heartbreaking, disgusting stuff.

Someone sent me cool woodworking video from TikTok a few months ago and the carpenter man kept talking about dogs. I bought a dog of dogs here, I cut off a dog, make sure to check how many dogs your wood is. What the fuck? Checking the comments, they were all like “LMAO dog 💀💀💀💀💀💀” with zero explanation.

What are dogs? Dogs means feet now apparently. Fuck me if I know. If you say “feet” on TikTok, you get flagged as a fetish channel, so people say “dogs”. Why dogs? I don’t care. If you’re going to use stupid imperial measurements at least call them by a name I recognize.

“Corn” for porn is kind of funny because corn is a very unsexy word (and concept).

There is a lot of euphemistic algorithm evasion on TikTok, and this is not a phenomenon I’d want to see become endemic on the Fediverse. It’s also a thing on Instagram. And now it’s diffusing to unrelated places.

I’m usually not this petty on here but it really pisses me off. This is also becoming a problem on Tumblr apparently, as I mentioned, which is a platform with a rigorous tagging system which allows users to block what they won’t have to see, which has made it possible to write properly without self-censorship. Apparently new, younger users, coming from places like TikTok, will just write “CW:🍇🍇” in their post instead of using the word rape, for example. So people who would previously be safe, by filtering out “rape”, are now finding shit they don’t want to see in their feeds. People should have a place where they can write about their experiences, no matter how harrowing, but this cheapens it and makes it harder to properly organize.

The internet is for communication. Its usefulness as a means of effective communication is under attack from all sides. Let’s not just let that happen, yeah

[-] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It’s ridiculous. Children’s tv shows have more frank discussions about serious issues than adults online.

Fuck censorship. I say suck my dick. -Esham

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I wish they'd just come out and say it: sorry we can't release the Epstein client list. It's most of Americas governing body and if we arrested all of them the country would collapse without leadership. It is what it is... You elected them.

[-] lowleekun@ani.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

"Normalize pedophilia now!"

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

Trump absolutely fucked around. The truth will come out eventually.

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but no one will care.

[-] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

when will the trump just go ahead and make a pedo political party?

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

There is already one and he leads it.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, he can just have her offed in prison too.

[-] opus86@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

Is she allowed to talk to anyone?

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

According to Michael Wolff, man seeking to write another book about Trump and make more money.

Not saying this isn't true, just, fuck Michael Wolff

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

No, fuck you for this, because you're just playing the right-wing tape "Any criticism of trump is because people are looking for fame and money". Of course Wolff is capitalist bitch, like 99% of americans are, but he did spent dozens of hours with both epstein and trump. So, capitalist of not, what he says has to be taken seriously. BTW he would probably have made much more money selling an "official bio" praising trump to all the brainwashed maga then anything else.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 weeks ago

If it's not true then Trump should sue. Like E. Jean Carroll did.

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

Yes, then everything opens up for discovery. Yes please
