Dude is my hero and is getting rewarded with money and it warms my heart.

[-] scala@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

Remember how many times Obama was mocked, did they fire anyone? No.

[-] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Geico fired R. Lee Ermey because he gave a speech claiming Obama was bankrupting the country on purpose so he could bring socialism to the US. Just saying.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I truly don't understand that line of reasoning. At all.

Putting aside ideological stances on economic and social structures, how does someone reason that the country being broke makes socialism more achievable?

[-] scala@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago

Well that's fake news. Trump being a pedo is fact.

[-] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I agree with you. The assertion was that no one was ever fired for saying anything about Obama, and all I'm saying is that's not the case.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

While I agree with the sentiment, there's always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president "go die in a shallow grave."

The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.

I could just imagine some rando touring the White House, and they stumble across him. They start out so excited. Go in saying:

Oh wow! Look at that! It's the president! It's great to me you, President Pedophile. Oh. My mix up. I mean, President Insurrectionist. Oh fuck, slip of the tounge! I'm just so nervous. Ha-ha! President Trump! It's a pleasure to meet the Rapist-in-Chief. Oh fuck. There I go again.

[-] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Every single Ford employee needs to call Trump a pedophile protector now. They can't fire everyone.

[-] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You... Don't know Ford, do you?

Read up on Ford in Detroit. They will absolutely ruin lives. 💯

[-] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, FoMoCo is shit, and Henry Ford was a racist shithead, but it's not about supporting Ford. It's about resisting the regime.

We'll deal with Ford once we've reclaimed our democracy.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Racist is putting it lightly... he was a Nazi. He owned a newspaper pumping out Nazi literature and was admired by the leaders of the Nazi party.

He even has his own entry in the Holocaust Encyclopedia. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism-and-henry-fords-international-jew

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Champ.

Apparently he's already net 300k via contributions from other patriots.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fuck I hate this timeline where we throw money at people for being on one team or the other. I mean, good for him and all, but this is BS.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Wait? Suspended? Why?

What did he do that was wrong?

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ford is complying with dear leader while dear leader is actively fucking Ford by cutting trade with Canada.

I used to work in automotive manufacturing. The amount of parts to build cars cannot come from just America. It's impossible.

Trump is beating the shit out of Ford and they're just standing there asking for more.

Dude needs to open a gofundme for that one. I'd give him ten bucks for the delivery of what many of us think.

[-] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

If you fire someone for mocking the prez, you're the asshole.

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 3 months ago

Trump is not just a protector he is a Pedophile.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

He's a pedophile who protects pedophiles

[-] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

He’s like that Hair club for Men guy, not just the President but also a client

[-] SlurryBravo@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

¿Por que no los dos?

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

You know how you can identify weak childlike leaders?

This. This is a sign of a petty weak person.

[-] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Trump is literally a pedo protector. We all have eyes.

Ford are fash sympathizers, who could've guessed

[-] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Ah he's only suspended and a union member. I heard that the suspension will likely be short (3 days was the figure someone in the same union said on the other site). I'm sure we'll hear all about it if he is actually fired.

Mad props to him for seeing his opportunity, realising it was once in a lifetime and grabbing it with both hands.

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Top 10 reasons to be in a union:can yell at donald without getting sacked

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Henry Ford was an open Nazi to the point the Feds removed him from the business during WW2.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He wasnt just a fuckin open Nazi, Hitler practically wrote him a goddamn Love Letter in Mein Kampf.

Ford also financially supported the Nazi Party in its early days

Also received the highest medal and honors that could be bestowed to a foreigner, from Nazi Germany.

Then, in 1942, when such things started reflecting badly on him, he suddenly went "oh no no no, Thats not me, I hope this whole business ends with world peace and love amongst everyone"

He is a national fuckin disgrace.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 3 months ago

Could you imagine if Obama had done this than got the guy suspended from his job?

[-] ieGod@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

It's funny this keeps getting brought up. We already know they're hypocritical racists who only care about team red and themselves. Hurting others is the point. It doesn't matter who the opposition is.

[-] Death__BySnuSnu@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Say what you want about Trump, but at least he never brought shame on our country by wearing a tan suit.

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 1 points 3 months ago

What is his position on dijon mustard

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

They said Obama was going to have DEATH PANELS roaming around killing people.

EVERYTHING they say is projection.

[-] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Can you imagine if he did a fraction of any of this, the detractors from the right are just made of fury and idiocy, but they would have been far more justified about something like this than a black man wearing a tan suit.

[-] Naevermix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Canceled for calling out a pedophile.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If only I could boycott Ford more than I already am.

[-] Tiger_Man_@szmer.info 1 points 3 months ago

he's not a pedophile protector, he's just a pedophile

[-] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 1 points 3 months ago
[-] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

You have the right to protest, good for him
