Mueller's report said: "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

Perhaps you're talking about obstruction of justice. Yes, Mueller refused to state a conclusion about that, but Trump could have been charged with that by the Biden administration after he was out of office. Yet, despite widespread "lawfare", Democrats never tried to bring that charge. Why not?

I think that's kind of the joke? Yes, it is his private social media site, and he doesn't even follow his own TOS.

I think only a small percentage might ever feel remorse or empathy regarding how their voting choices shaped world outcomes thereafter. For those that ever do regret it, I think giving them a path to redemption is the only way the world will ever heal. For those incapable of having those feelings.. well, I can hope karma is real.

They won't just have to live with it. They like it.

My aunt is a republican lobbyist. She is also a drunk. This means she regularly texts us the most incredibly odious beliefs. Stuff like how my other aunt should kill herself because she is a leech for taking disability from the government. MAGA voters aren't sad that Trump is out here saying "fuck you, libs" on a regular basis. They love it.

That was true after 2016, and plenty of them did. The problem is that Grump was able to attract a whole bunch of new scumbags - from his destructive politicization of Covid, the surveillance industry seeing a more direct route to become an inescapable part of the government, the growing performative chest-thumping "manosphere" etc. At this point I don't see much shame on the horizon.

He did the same thing when Rob Reiner was killed so I don't think that's an excuse.

no denying your dick conclusion, but the former doesn't have to hold. You can like the outcome without supporting the mechanism. In fact,t here's an entire school of thought around ends vs. means.

But let's not get distracted here: unbelievable that anyone famous, let alone the president of the United States, would publicly promote such disgusting statements. Combined with his WH comments in front of the Japanese PM... I guess to a narcissistic (and frankly, just plain dumb) bully punching down feels like a big win...

Celebrating the act of murder is the distinction. There is no distinction here between someone gloating that CK is dead or someone gloating that RM is dead.

Which is weird because the right explicitly called for violence against the left and transgender people in response but nothing ever happened to any of them.

Por qué no los dos?

His social media posts are very specifically designed to distract and pack the news cycle full of garbage, drowning out what actually matters. His entire life, his main defense to anything has been to attack and distract.

His posting style is also very typical of facist governments.

His approval rating is the worst of any president since WW2, including his first term, which was the previous 'record holder.' The Iran war is deeply unpopular with the American people, the skyrocketing gas and diesel prices are infuriating many. He's desperate to shift attention.

Except the only "evil" thing that Mueller did was investigate Trump after he bragged about firing James Comey for investigating a potential Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Moreover, I'm not sure it is right for the president to celebrate this; isn't part of the job of a president to be diplomatic? It's one thing when a nobody like me celebrates the death of someone bad, but I'm not the president, no one expects me to be diplomatic, and generally speaking no one actually cares what I think about anything.

And for saying less kind things, but by directly quoting the deceased.

Yes you are right. I forgot the original report never became public.

The full, unredacted report has never been released to the general public.

The Trump White House asserted a “protective” claim of executive privilege over the redacted portions and underlying materials, which helped prevent Congress from obtaining the fully unredacted report, though this did not block release of the already‑redacted public version.

In other words, the criminals in charge prefer to work in the dark.

It just pushes everything to the middle. If you think logically about it, since there are few if any conservative posts, it makes sense that flagging appears to be conservative because the majority of posts that need to be flagged are liberal. If suddenly there were lots of conservative posts, the liberal flaggers would appear.

If you want evidence of this consider comments. Conservative comments are often quickly downvoted.
