    What’s worse is that “journalists” often don’t call him out to his face on his made up bullshit.

      “Is this proof?”

      “So you, the potus, are claiming that a printout of a tweet is proof?”

      That would be good enough for a start. I would even forgive them if they didn’t then get someone to print a tweet of him being called a pedophile and russian asset.

      No whats worse is they didn’t broadcast that part for fear it might cause the demented rapist to be mean to them.

      Seriously, corporate news shit the bed entirely in 2000 and has been a catastrophic clown party ever since.

      Journalism is dead as Disco. We have only entertainers driven by amount of memes, eyeballs, and clicks they can generate.

      The news is only interested how many more losers consumers they can connive add to the circle jerk demo.

    Ofcourse it is proof, he ordered someone to print out his own claims, now its right there on paper, what more proof do you need.

    He also printed out his business licenses back in the day and those were immediately validated by that fact.

      This is like the Ron Swanson “fear not, I have a permit” and it’s just a piece of paper with “I can do what I want -Ron Swanson” lol.

    Can somebody reupload the image at a non-feddit.org host? Feddit is incredibly annoying in that it geoblocks most of Asia.

    Wait what? Why?

    Tap for spoiler

    Well apparently asia is the source of a lot of scraping traffic, and they’re an European focused website, so they went with the nuclear option of blocking the entire continent and change. Never mind that as one of the bigger instances on the Threadiverse, they’re degrading the user experience for an entire continent. I brought the issue up to them previously, but they didn’t seem too concerned about it.

    Example of degraded user experience for Asia:

        Yes, that works.

        I think mostly they’re only proxying images in DMs. Proxying all images was cited as one of the issues during that period when CP was being spammed (IIRC).

        I might consider moving instances, since I had been thinking of switching to piefed.

    Many people send me screenshots of tweets when they debate me. Some of them are old friends with college degrees.

    I might pick up smoking…
