I literally just woke up and opened Lemmy to see this. As a lemm.ee user this is sad news but I respect the decision of all those involved as they navigate this

Gosh darnit CERN not again! You messed up the peas! The peeasss!!

The Roman salute excuse that many of his supporters promoted irks me because of how dishonest it is from the get go. There’s not a single Roman work of art that depicts the salute and it actually originated fairly recently under Mussolini’s National Fascist Party.

This is coming from the same administration that thought transgenic mice were transgender mice. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he actually comes out with something like this.

Ignoring the fact that he did what was probably the most vigorous Nazi salute in existence…

• He agreed with a post on Twitter that promoted the antisemetic conspiracy theory that Jewish people “push hatred” against white people
• He doubled down on the great replacement conspiracy theory
• He supports the AfD party which has not-so-subtle Nazi themes in official posters
• He actively created a safe space for Neo Nazis on his platform
• He threatened to sue researchers documenting the rise in hateful tweets
• After the inauguration “gesture”, instead of apologizing he made Nazi-related puns
• He shared a post absolving Hitler of murdering millions of people

It’s not just not outrageous to call him a Nazi, it’s a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to conclude especially when you consider his other behaviour and the kinds of things he supports

“Piss on carpet” will now be my catchphrase whenever I leave a room.

Do you think we’ll find out the maximum number that Trump and his ilk can count up to from this?

Not American but I hate the USA’s current administration. I am neither ashamed nor scared to say this. I presume this would be labeled as hate since I can’t see why their definition of “hate” wouldn’t be incredibly vague so as to hurt as many people as possible.

Dr? Doctor.

Thirst? Unquenched.

Hotel? Trivago.

Thank you! 😃

I feel the same way. I’ve seen the argument that it’s analogous to violence in videogames, but it’s pretty disingenuous since people typically play videogames to have fun and for escapism, whereas with CSAM the person seeking it out is doing so in bad faith. A more apt comparison would be people who go out of their way to hurt animals.

Geez, two million? Good riddance. Great job everyone!

He’s proven that he does not care about court orders or rules of law, so I doubt he’d be against ripping up the constitution. Not an American so forgive me if I seem ignorant on this, but I hope that there’s failsafes against him getting a third term no matter what he does.

He’s allowed to do Nazi salutes at inaugurations, but people aren’t allowed to point fingers at his cars?

Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn’t he say Canada isn’t a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did…

Freedom of speech, eh? Guess I’m banned if they find out about this account or my Bluesky account.

Thank you! 😃 Any beaches you recommend?

I’m one of the 36%. With ICE, the US being more hostile in general, and questionable aviation safety, I’ve changed my destination from California to Australia.

K9 units are considered police officers. So he essentially wants to punish some very good (and cute!) police officers who should be getting lots of good food and belly rubs for helping so many people be safe on their flights.

The customer service part… 😂
