His statement straight up confirms he thinks the president is a pedophile. I wonder if he realizes.

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 109 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

He's a democrat (looked it up to make sure), so I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago

And she’s a republican.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

He is wearing a blue tie in his profile picture.

So, out of context (time) given the missing dates? I’d read it as Democrat damning a pedo and a Repub yelling about it because it’s Trump.

I like the true version better. How old is the first tweet?

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Anna Paulina Luna is a (usually nuts, as is now standard) Republican, so it's def about something other than Trump.

Her tweet is from like Feb 13th apparently. Maybe she was referring to Ghislaine Maxwell wanting clemency in exchange for providing info? Not really sure tbh.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 42 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes, he realised that. He’s UNO Reversed her tweet.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's not the gotcha he thinks it is, that's for sure

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 66 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think this a gotcha aimed at the GOP, as the congresswoman is a shitty Florida republican.

Just a few days back, Ilhan Omar replied back to Trump insulting her and somalia with the following:

"The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them."

The right wing flipped its shit as usual and tried to say she was threatening the presidents life. I think Elijah is just turning that dumb bullshit around here.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait. That wasn’t sarcastic?

That’s some fucked up shit.

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, it was sarcastic. He’s a democrat, she’s a republican.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

oh. good to know my sarcasm meter still works sometimes.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure it's exactly the gotcha he thinks it is.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's a facetious, ironic reply from someone opposing OP.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 109 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So story time.

Back near the 2016 election, with the news covering Clinton Vs. Trump, a douchebag I worked with... a former(?) military guy... often talked about how he and a few military buddies of his had stockpiles of guns and ammo and he knew folks in the military yet. And would say something to the effect "if she wins, well sometimes things happen to planes" implying he or one of his military buddies was going to assassinate Clinton if she won. I told a military friend of mine who said, crap like that gets said all the time an nothing is ever done about it.

Fun fact, said douchebag got arrested by the police for soliciting what he thought was a minor. Eat shit Phil.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 58 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's always the ones you most suspect.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sometimes, it's the ones you medium suspect.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Every few years someone from my job gets arrested for something to do with kids and yeah I'm never really that surprised to hear about it.

IT for a fairly large corporation. Seems to attract more weirdos than other fields I've worked in. Usually benign weirdos but sometimes not.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was gonna guess priest but IT professionals would know how to solicit kids for nudes in a "private" chat

I feel like the irony of this timeline is going to kill me soon and my autopsy will show it as natural causes.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This statement should be embroidered on a sampler.

Lol she didn't even mention Trump! I guess his name is synonymous with the word pediphile now.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's also not a threat to suggest what punishment should be meted out for a crime.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly. Donald J Trump, Presidential of the United States, deserves to be tried in a court of law, found guilty, and hung by the neck until dead for his illegal extrajudicial murder of over a hundred people on the waters of the Caribbean, among the numerous capital offenses he has committed.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Who is she even talking about? Isn't she trying to protect pedophiles?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Pretending this was real and that she even named Trump, it wouldn't be a threat because it's stating he deserves a legally applied punishment which would require a trial and sentencing.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Reddit admins certainly don't see it that way.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Reddit admins can piss off. I'm currently on a seven-day ban because I dared suggest in terms that weren't quite indirect enough that oligarchs in the US should be dealt with. I didn't even suggest how&[guillotines if you must know], just that something should be done.

Two more such bans and I'll have to create another new account and get my two subreddits to re-mod me.

It's such bullshit.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

i got perma banned for no reason

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I got permabanned for saying that child molesters should be executed. Fuck em. Reddit is a shithole anyway.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

ITT: posters that have never heard of irony.

34 felonies so far.

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty clearly taking about Maxwell, but MAGAts obviously know the shoe fits the cheeto

MODS ARREST THIS WOMAN AROOOOOO
