Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I saw a clip of fox criticising these tweets for being unserious and stupid. Trump has these people under a spell.

Conservatives don’t understand satire. See also: the ever unfunny Babylon Bee.

Bela Lugosi died on 16th August 1956. Maybe he loves old vampire movies and this was his message 1 day late of the anniversary.

Or, he's a gibbering buffoon.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

he could have been gibbering about bela lugosi and the text to speech got it. that's what i like to believe

Why is a Nintendo Gamecube tweeting on a government account?

Why do people keep spamming Gavin Newsome shit?

Like, you guys realize Newsom is the type of Dem that hung out with the Clinton's and trump for decades right?

You know he's a neoliberal shitstain that will only actually fight against progress?

I legitimately don't understand why this would be automatically happening.

Edit:

Did people really forget five months ago when Newsom was sucking up to MAGA?

He'll literally say/do anything for attention.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 68 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because he is a high profile politician making Trump look like an ass?? You'd be seeing a lot of Tulsi Gabbard if she started mocking Trump, too. Doesn't mean everyone is a fan

I hate the guy but at least he’s actually fucking doing something instead of just writing sternly worded letters.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sounds like someone just figured out politicians.

Edit: or they are just farming negative karma lol.

Our entire world of politics has finally been drug down to the fascist's level.

It's just entertainment now

Don't have kids

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 3 points 11 months ago

Yeap, he's like king of the nepo babies. His father was the lawyer to one of the Getty heirs and their son and Gavin became best friends. His rich friend has bankrolled all of his businesses and his run for office. Gavin Newsome has never accomplished anything by himself in his entire life, maybe besides cheating on his wife. The man can't even read.

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago

The horseshoe crabs are out in full force against Newsom. Must mean the GOP is scared.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's really disappointing to see someone as shitty as Gavin Newsom being celebrated for such a stupid and lazy tactic.

Like sure if this would change anything or lower support for Trump and the GOP, then fine, but it won't.

Fuck Trump and fuck Gavin Newsom.

when someone who is in charge, disregards all laws and rules and sends armed men to kidnap people...there is no rules and you fight fire with fire.

this is what you're seeing right now, except you expect those fighting to continue to fight in a way that's being completely disregarded.

aka: don't try talk reason to the one who's currently punching your face in. fight back

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

So "fight fire with fire" to you is fight armed men kidnapping people with mocking tweets? Oh come on. You're being duped. This isn't a win because it doesn't accomplishing anything.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

the fight is with the dude telling those guys to attack, via his tweets...so yes.

it's doing more then what the rest of them are doing, which is literally nothing but hiding away. at least someone is calling his bullshit out and mocking him the same way he calls everyone out on lies and mocks them for being human.
