Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time – I will be,” Tucker Carlson said. “And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional, that’s all I’ll say.”

Though Carlson in 1999 had referred to Trump as “the single most repulsive person on the planet”, he beat most pundits in calling for Trump to be taken seriously before he won his first presidency in 2016.

Trump recently published a social media post calling Carlson “a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!!”

FFS now I agree with Trump ?

No raindrop thinks they're to blame for the flood.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No raindrop is. The flood is a consequence of the land's ability to drain water relative to the size of the deluge. Blaming individual raindrops is foolish.

I too am very intelligent.

My bad for posting a metaphor on Lemmy. Are you doing a bit right now, like autism blackface or something? Did the Big Bang Theory send you?

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Perhaps you have the autism. The way you overanalyze everything.

Nah I'm pretty sure I'm just a lifelong social misfit who only befriends the neurodivergent and can't handle repetitive noises, same as any regular guy really.

Maybe he's doing a metaphor too? I keep trying to piece it together: "so like the landscape, yeah, is like america, right? No wait, is it democracy? Hmm... Is this guy just talking about actual stormwater mitigation?"

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago

It honestly is funny to me either way, because it reads like he's being straight faced talking a out stormwater mitigation.

But I do think it's intended to point out a lot of the morons that voted for trump did so for some real reasons, very misguided (and intentionally so by the right wing news apparatus) but real reasons.
