    Some emails were recently released from the Epstein files that seem to suggest that Donald Trump may have sucked Bill Clinton’s dick.

    I honestly don’t know what to think about it, but the memes have been pretty fire imo.

      So nothing important, just yet another media thing to make Americans not think about how they don’t have worker rights, healthcare, education and more stuff citizens of normal(are even not so normal) countries have.

        At surface, sure. But this is the kind of thing that can actually swing his base. I’m expecting flags and red hats to quietly get put away tbvh. This could be a very good thing for the world. The xenophobic hate is still there as it always has been, but fracturing this cult of personality will go a long way to restoring normalcy.

          Honestly this “news” doesn’t worth the time I have to scroll memes about it on Lemmy. I mean I understand that people here believe anything bad about Trump but c’mon. It’s also funny you think your internal stuff has much meaning for the world. It doesn’t, your country’s politics is equally bad for the world no matter which color the person corporate media made you think you elected has on their banner.

            Super helpful addition to the discussion. Throw a dart at a map and you’ll land within an inch of a despot or despot-wannabe. Most likely, we’re witnessing a fisher-price reaction to two things: imminent invasion of taiwan and AI gobbling up entry level work. You’re more arrogant than your previous comment suggests if you think what you’re witnessing doesn’t have much meaning to whatever economy and society you call home.

      Honestly they don’t even read like honest speculation. They read more like an inside joke the same way people joke about what blackmail material their shitty coworker must have on the boss to somehow never get fired.

        I mostly do agree with that sentiment, but I do reserve a little bit of “this could have happened” because of a few different events:

        1. A jokey one: the way he dances. Looking like he’s haphazardly jerking two guys off.
        2. A more serious reason: all the absolute batshit insane, entirely abnormal things surrounding this administration.
        3. A very odd reason: Trump starting a campaign speech talking about Arnold Palmer’s dick.
        4. A reason I don’t know how exactly to categorize: His extreme adoration for strong, dictatorial men.

        For now, I’ll reserve judgement and continue to enjoy the memes and jokes at his expense. They do be amusing.
