Did he learn that before or after he spent $250 million dollars to get him elected and acted like he was best buddies with him until very recently?

He's just trying to cover his arse and recover what's left of his shattered reputation. Can't we just fucking universally shun this shit-head now? Keep reporting on his many transgressions, but stop giving the worthless cunt air-time and interviews.

We also should keep assuming he's lying. The two of them would happily fight in public and keep chatting on the phone or by email to cut back door deals for each other, if they thought it would relieve political pressure.

Remember, all they do is lie, all of every day, it's just that you don't always know about what or why. Everything in their lives is a con.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Which is exactly why we should not be listening to, reporting on or repeating anything he says unless it's under oath in one of his trials.

And maybe bring up actual positive initiatives, like unionization, whenever discussions do revolve around his self-serving talking points.

Nope. The reason he is doing this is to keep on getting the narcistic attention that all narcissists crave. Its the same reason he joined with Trump in the first place. He wanted to horn in on Trump's narcistic attention. And now after being fired he wants to keep on getting narcistic attention independently of Trump's narcistic attention.

And we keep giving it to him like a bunch of fucking chumps.

Why isn't the government testing people for narcissism and putting narcissists down??

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'd probably recommend therapy or something, especially if caught early, before anything that drastic. Maybe a Total Perspective Vortex?

Narcissists are irredeemable, there is nothing human in them. The only thing they're good for is labour camps. The USSR had the right idea about what to do with the mentally ill. Look up sluggish schizophrenia.

Please stop spreading misinformation, Elon spent $44 billion (yes with a b) getting him elected.

There's been pictures of trump hanging out with Epstein for a long time. There also the numerous allegations of sexual assault as well as being found liable. Backstage at pageant shows, etc.Trump is and has been a creep for a long ass time.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He got to disrupt critical government agencies, destroy the evidence against him, and got to boss the president around for a few months... seems like a pretty good deal. Just putin's wallet is much deeper.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

The world knew it before Epstein was killed.

This isn't news. It was on television.
