Former President Donald Trump heaped praise on authoritarian Chinese President Xi Jinping during a lengthy interview Friday with the podcaster Joe Rogan.
“We’re dealing with the smartest people,” Trump said, referring to the leaders of U.S. adversaries, about an hour and a half into their conversation.
“They hate when I say, you know, when the press — when I called President Xi, [the press] said, ‘Well, he called President Xi brilliant.’ Well, he’s a brilliant guy. He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. I mean, he’s a brilliant guy, whether you like it or not. And they go crazy.”
And the tankies will lie to your face and say they really truly just support Jill Stein for no other reason than her stellar campaigning skills. Lmao.
What a fucking joke half this platform is 🤣
I bet the superior Yi Ping Ping Pong doesn’t rape minors in China. That doesn’t mean I want his ass telling me what to do. Fuck that Winnie the Pooh wannabe bitch. But it means, he’s not Trump. But to be fair, Pooh probably orders lots of people’s executions per month. Trump orders McDonald’s. So there’s that difference too.
Remember when Romney saying “45% of Americans don’t matter, now watch me look for a wine menu at McDonald’s!” was enough to lose the presidency?
Pepper Ridge Farm remembers.
Tbf, as a Mormon, Romney does not drink alcohol so he wouldn’t ever be looking for a wine list…
Trump is pulling the invader zim " I will rule you all with an iron fist" and people are cool with it. I feel like half the country went to “Skool”
Not trying to be a dick (though I guess it kind of happened anyway), but maybe part of the issue here is that people are referencing cartoons instead of actual would history, when talking about the imminent threat of an autocratic ruler.
Just saying…
Yea I can’t believe no one ever compared trump with Hitler yet
His voterbase does not care.
This the fucking world my dad wants us to live in. He begged me tonight to please vote Trump he going save us.
Wonder what my dad would think about this? He hates China says Trump hates China and will make them pay with tariffs. I tried to explain that we pay those not China but it wss like talking to a brike wall.
He won’t think about it.
My dad’s the same way, he hasn’t pleaded with me about my vote but that may only be because I don’t talk to him.
Have you seen “The Brainwashing of My Dad”? I think that’s what it’s called, a friend recommended it to me and I need to make some time for it, sounds like it covers the impact of garbage like fox news on old menI’ve actually heard using parental to controls to block Fox News magically turns right wingers into decent human beings/otherkin forced to live as human beings.
Note that you may have to deal with symptoms similar to addicts coming off their high, because that’s exactly what it is.
No where do I see that?
JustWatch has some choices, I’d be partial to Pluto unless you wanna rent/buy it
I really fucking hate this profligate.
This has been up for two hours, I wonder where the propagandists hollering about genocide are.
Edit, four hours now: It must be acceptable to genocide Uyghurs, I guess.
We all knew that. Just like it is acceptable to jail citizens for writing mean things about the government on the internet.
I suspect that most of them don’t really care about genocide or the welfare of others in general. It’s a self-righteous bandwagon for them to jump on.
At this point, I’m just posting this graphic
Anytime I run into the “Don’t Vote Harris, that will stop Genocide!” camp
And the democrats are at least working towards a cease fire. Trump would let Bibi turn his enemies lands to glass because Trump only cares about Trump.
Those are in the Kamala threads doing what they’re paid to do
They don’t need to be paid to be ignorant. A lot of people don’t understand nuance or how the American political system works and it shows in those threads.
I’m honestly still skeptical of that, It seems to me like Lemmy would be too small to be an efficient use of a paid shill’s time, vs having them go to a mainstream social media platform. I think they’re either genuine in intent but have twisted themselves into a completely counterproductive idea of what to do out of anger at how things in the world have gone, or in some cases are people trolling for a position they don’t support, but who are doing it for free to advance their own position rather than for a paycheck.

Information for HuffPost:
Wiki: reliable - A 2020 RfC found HuffPost staff writers fairly reliable for factual reporting on non-political topics, but notes that they may give prominence to topics that support their political bias and less prominence to, or omit, things that contradict it. HuffPost’s reliability has increased since 2012; articles before 2012 are less reliable and should be treated with more caution. HuffPost uses clickbait headlines to attract attention to its articles, thus the body text of any HuffPost article is considered more reliable than its headline. See also: HuffPost (politics), HuffPost contributors.
Wiki: mixed - In the 2020 RfC, there was no consensus on HuffPost staff writers’ reliability for political topics. The community considers HuffPost openly biased on American politics. There is no consensus on its reliability for international politics. See also: HuffPost (excluding politics), HuffPost contributors.
Wiki: unreliable - Until 2018, the U.S. edition of HuffPost published content written by contributors with near-zero editorial oversight. These contributors generally did not have a reputation for fact-checking, and most editors consider them highly variable in quality. Editors show consensus for treating HuffPost contributor articles as self-published sources, unless the article was written by a subject-matter expert. In 2018, HuffPost discontinued its contributor platform, but old contributor articles are still online. Check the byline to determine whether an article is written by a staff member or a “Contributor” (also referred to as an “Editorial Partner”).
