The guy is literally too stupid to stop hitting himself in the nuts. And then he blames the “deep state” for making him hit himself in the nuts.
While you may think he’s hitting himself in the nuts, polling says otherwise. I know, it’s infuriating.
Don’t you guys remember four/six years ago? This was a…depressingly effective tactic to evading responsibility. Because he just…openly admits to shit that other politicians know is poison. But nothing sticks because there are a million other things he does the same thing with. And it’s news for a day or two and then…nothing happens.
Downvoted for the title. Not sure what kind of mouth breather trend that is, but it’s not lasting
I remember a person on Reddit using this.
þ- th sounding /θ/ (think)

Yes exactly
And it hurts just as many people.
None.
Hurts me, at least
I support.
Æsþetically it looks dense & unique like ð rare, sunderly dental fricative sounds English makes. “ð” isn’t historic since Old English really didn’t boðer ƿiþ separating voiced vs. unvoiced dental, but ðat’s okay since our broðers up norþ in Iceland use ðese 2 characters in ð manner you prescribe. I like ð mirroring a as ð single-character definite vs. indefinite article too. As someone around ESL (English as a second language) speakers, it can help ðem not only knoƿ hƿich sound to make hƿile preventing silly slip-ups like former US president Donald Trump saying Þighland instead of Thailand—but it ƿould be obvious if our ƿritten form ƿasn’t forced to drop þorn for overloading “y” or “th” for ð printing press’ limitations not built for our tongue.
Before computers or printing presses, ƿe didn’t have spellcheck—so folks spelled ƿords as ðey sound. Having less digraphs favoring more single characters is considered more ergonomic; Dvorak, ð keyboard layout, has “ht” on the home roƿ of ð dominant hand to shoƿ just hoƿ dominant ðis digraph truly is for typing English.
Look, english spelling is already a mess for me to parse (non-native speaker). If y’all start using this other alphabet, I’m just not gonna bother reading.
“Oh no! Anyway” kind of comment, but I must protest somehow.
Yeah, I think this is a pretty shitty way to behave on a website with a large number of non-native English speakers.
This was a little easier than reading finnegans Wake but not much. Definitely more humorous though. Thank you.

It’s not a trend. The way you and drag are speaking is the trend. Phlubbadubba is speaking Old English. You’re right, though, it didn’t last.
The way Drag speaks is the trend, we are all just following
Will Dems hold Bibi accountable?
Oh they won’t?
Worse than same.
"Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob from prison!
Vote Sideshow Bob."
I’m not supporting Trump, I’m wondering why Israel is so central to democratic policy when they have literally done everything in their power to elect Trump?
I can’t imagine anything besides corruption or kompromat at this point. Literally nothing else makes sense.
I’m not supporting Trump, I’m wondering
Just Asking Questions, is all
I’m not supporting Trump
That comment you made above is supporting Trump. You saying you’re not supporting him makes no difference.
Criticizing Dems cowardly weakness isn’t supporting the thing they’re afraid of.
And criticizing spoiler third party shills isn’t supporting genocide.
They aren’t a spoiler where I’m standing. Undecided voters aren’t here. You have a lot of nerve to call anyone a shill with that rhetoric.
They aren’t a spoiler where I’m standing
Cognitive dissonance will do that to someone that chooses to forego critical thinking.
You have a lot of nerve to call anyone a shill
Thanks friend!
Just as the classified documents case, this would be grounds to put Trump in military jail, instead of pussyfooting around a corrupt justice system he appointed a large chunk of. DNC being a neocon fundraising organization is pro Trump if he is more pro Israel.
He can say what he wants. He can endorse Adolf Hitler and nobody will bat an eye. Meanwhile Kamala has to watch every letter that crosses her lips.
Has he not literally been doing that? I’ve been seeing articles about how much he looks up to Hitler. And he quotes him. He’s not being subtle, at least.
He said himself, in early 2016 I think, that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and he wouldn’t lose any votes.
But why is that actually? It baffles me.
Because Republicans have chosen Trump as the leader of their in-group, and everything they say and do is just sound bytes for getting him in power and abusing the out group, no matter how inconsistent, hypocritical, or false it is. They don’t actually think what they mock the left for is bad, but if they can use it to justify being against them, they’ll use it.
Sexism.
I keep forgetting that there was never a female president before. I’m German and 16 years of chancellor Merkel are pretty fresh in my mind still. I was 11 when she got into office, kinda crazy to think about.
There is more to it than that. It definitely plays a part though.
True, it was the same for Biden. I also don’t think this only applies to Trump and America. I live in Europe and saw it happen in my own city. The right-wing sitting mayor was framing his opponent for being a communist supporting the Taliban, which was an absolute lie. Buddy only advocated for affordable housing and public transport. Though there was something to be said about his lack of plans to achieve that, it’s probably better than just letting the free market do its thing. Anyways the media framed the sitting major as the sensible one, regardless of the lies he told, and he won the elections by a mile.
Biden gave the terrorist state of Isreal $18 Billion in American tax dollars this year alone. That’s $13 Billion more in a year than the average of $5billion per year to zionist terrorists for the last 75 years. (Including Trump administration)
Both sides are just different degrees of evil. One is more quiet about it, the other is overt.
That is what the monopolized 2 party system is for. To keep the same 2 evil groups in power indefinitely, while giving The People an illusion of choice. Both are owned by the same corporate interests and mega-rich.
The sooner people realize this, the sooner we can take real action that will make a lasting impact. There is no fixing this grossly corrupt, broken system from the inside and repeating the same bullshit every 4 years.
Edit: to be clear, you should still vote Harris because it’s the lesser evil option in this fucked up circus. But denying reality makes you just as bad as air-headed trumpets. Both sides are owned by the same corporate interests and mega-rich, and we need to abolish this 2 party system, not make-up fantasies that one side is actually good.
The downvoters are either Trump supporters and/or fascist. True leftists don’t downvote facts. One thing is for certain in this sub, there are fascists masquerading as leftists. Those who don’t know may want to look up “controlled opposition”.
Denial of facts is for right wingers and the rest of the fascists. We progressives don’t do that.
Nobody is debating the fact that Trump is 1000x worse and he also has and will keep funding isreal if elected again.
That’s how you can tell fascists and genocide deniers/appologists are the downvoters here. Here to downvote the truth and voices of dissent.
The lack of support from fellow progressives on what should be resounding support shows how groupthink downvoting works to suppress voices of dissent.
AGAIN, I’m voting for Harris, but we have to keep protesting and pressuring her to change bad policies, like the promise to continue funding genocide. Trump was never an option. 3rd party is same as voting for Trump. Go fuck yourselves and have a nice day.
Harris followers are better people with higher standards than Trump followers.
Fuck both those zionist bootlickers.
That said, I’m voting Harris this time, since the alternative isn’t an option, but, we still have to destroy this 2 party, oligarch ruled system and start from scratch. Enough is enough. Time to eat the rich.
It’s all propaganda. Biden gave the terrorist state of Isreal $18 Billion in American tax dollars this year alone. That’s $13 Billion more in a year than the average of $5billion per year for the last 75 years.
I don’t know wtf Dildo Tramp’s angle is here, but both parties are Zionist boot lickers who’ve continuously funded genocide. I don’t know why he would try and make his opponents look less evil than he is, and also piss off his skinhead supporters.
Edit: to be clear, you should still vote Harris because it’s the lesser evil option in this fucked up circus. But denying reality makes you just as bad as air-headed trumpets.

That’s how you know the downvotes aren’t from the progressive side. We don’t downvote facts or minimize genocide.
It’s all propaganda. [5 paragraphs of propaganda]
Welp, you got that right
People seem to also be ignoring that this entire conflict is a direct consequence of Trump assassinating Soleimani.
On one hand, I agree with you
On the other hand, Jesus Christ didn’t the Middle English fad die out in like, 2013 Reddit?
And you should be glad it did. Germans didnt get so lucky.
r/ich_iel and ich_iel@feddit.org STILL think it’s funny not to use english words and instead translate them literally so it sounds like complete nonsense. (“Zangendeutsch”) This joke got old like 10 years ago but if you use even a single english word you will still be greeted with “Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn” which means speak German you son of a bitch.
I just want good memes in my own language, but that community is insufferable.
/rant, sorry
Und es ist auch immernoch fickend lustig du Hurensohn!
Wait wait wait, that community is… real Germans, but they speak broken German as a joke? Holy shit I thought this kind of dumb was reserved to English…
Yeah they translate every English word literally as a meme. Like Facebook becomes Gesichtbuch. Personally, I find it hilarious.
every language has its own group of scoundrels
To be fair, although Zangendeutsch is commonly used for shits and giggles the reaction to English words hasn’t been this way since some time after Reddit.
It evolved into an ironic !askouija@lemmy.world style complete-the-sentence thingy where everything goes.
Stop trying to make Middle English happen.
You complete me.
Drag likes the middle English. Drag thinks you just hate fun.
Referring to yourself in the third person is cringe as fuck
Agreed, but I also kind of like it? It’s a fun cringe, if that’s a thing.
Why? This is their post and they wanna use middle English. It’s not that big a problem for anyone else.
Are you just worried that it’ll become a more common trend? I don’t think that’ll happen. It’s just gonna be like scrolling by a ich iel post every now and again.
A thorn in your side?
A thorn in my ash.
NAY I SAY!
Based as hell.
No. Language is dynamic by design. If þey/þem wish to be diacritical fluid, who are we to deny freedom of speech?
You’re right, it is. But language shifts in populations in ways that enhance communication. One person using letters that nobody else uses makes communication of ideas more difficult.
Not only that, but they’re only choosing to use some Middle English letters, and not any other rules of Middle English grammar or spelling.
They can use whatever language they want, but if it’s too much effort for people to understand, they’re more likely to be ignored.
Counterargument: middle English is based
You aren’t owed prescriptive compliance just because you’re used to a worse system.
Let alone if you feel like going out of ð way to justify shitting on oðer people’s innocent fun.
Why are all thornies I ever saw complete nutjobs?
Because you’re on Lemmy and no one here seems to be, you included.
^ What did he mean by this?
I can’t even understand what this is supposed to say.
Quoth the tankies, but Dems same tho
They’re using old English characters that used to mean “th”
Don’t worry, I’m sure in a few years he’ll be indicted, and then a few years after that there will be a trial, and then a few years after that he might be forced to grift his followers to pay a fine.
Shit, he probably won’t last long before senility or old age gets him. Then we have old president JD to look forward to
Senility and old age have already “gotten” him. He’s basically an animated carcass.
Technically I don’t even þink ðis would get a trial, since Israel, unlike Iran and ð Vietkong, are not enemies of ð US at ð time of ð act in question.
Meaning what would normally qualify for an open and shut case for treason doesn’t apply since ð aiding and abetting isn’t happening to a technically hostile power.

It worked for “Tricky Dick”. He just didn’t feel the need to go blabbing it to everybody because back then you couldn’t get elected without at least pretending to have morals.
Worked for Reagan, too.
If you’re going to use eth I just wish you’d use a vowel for ‘the’. No other consonants imply vowels in english.
Borrowed from Shavian, where ð equivalent letter, as well as four oðer consonants, actually do imply ð full word.
Used for words wið specific grammar purposes, n for and, f for for, v for of, and t for to.
What makes you choose þ or ð? In Icelandic it’s the difference between voiced and voiceless.
What ever makes them feel better than everyone else at the current moment. Nothing else matters.
Interesting. Shaw specified that shavian alphabet should be a complete replacement to avoid the jarring appearance of misspelling though right? Porting those conventions into standard english orthography seems to violate that.
Meh, why waste a perfectly usable convention when you’re not gonna use ð alphabet it was originally used in?
It’s because language changes gradually over time. Most people who aren’t English Majors or have a Linguistics degree don’t even know what a Thorn is, and I don’t even blame them. (Also the fact that no Middle English characters are on my keyboard, closest I have to a dead symbol is ‽)
I actually use þe interrobang quite frequently!
Fair enough!
Is there a real citation for this? Something that’s not on Twitter? “The Daily Edge” doesn’t even have a website of their own.
I’m going to assume these daily conversations are still unproven, unless someone shows me a better citation.
it looks like he Said he spoke with him 2 days ago, and a couple times. besides that, the “daily” conversations are extrapolated from him having talked to mentioning out how a few times just this week and him saying that “regularly” talk, as far as I can tell, or it’s just referring to their near daily talks this week.
and the video does have him saying bibi calls him and talks to him a lot and maybe biden’s going to drop a bomb on Israel so they don’t talk to Biden.
Does the ceasefire involve taking over Gaza and turning it into Israeli settlements? Where would the people be moved this time? It was the last part of Palestine that did not get governed by Israel. Biden caused so much destruction to the Palestinian cause.
