So it's all projection..

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 35 points 8 months ago

Always, always, always is.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 48 points 8 months ago

And fartin' up a storm.

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 36 points 8 months ago

And you just know he's got some rank-ass hamberder farts too. The White House staff must've been airing the place out for weeks when that stinky fuck left office. My sympathies go out to anyone stuck in that courtroom with Trump for however long this case lasts... Except for the defense of course. Let those mfers huff away.

[-] finthechat@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

I wonder if it is possible to be held in contempt if you just keep farting nonstop in court

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 5 points 8 months ago

You can be held in contempt for anything disruptive, so if it's deliberate and can be proven then yes.

[-] AlexanderESmith@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

You almost just killed me right now. Literally couldn't breathe xD

Same for the people in court next to Farty McTrumpPants too, probably x'D

Let's be real. Diaper Don is straight up shitting himself

[-] Grobmobularb@lemmy.world 37 points 8 months ago

Is there someone there checking his diaper too? The big fat baby needs a changing.

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

I prefer the term "Drowsy Donald."

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I’ve seen Drowsy Don a lot too. It’s alliterative, so it works well. On the other hand “Sleepy Joe” was his term for Biden

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 14 points 8 months ago

Sleepy Don

[-] lamabop@lemmings.world 13 points 8 months ago

He's 77 years old, I'm hardly surprised

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago

Nobody is surprised, but when you nickname your political opponent "sleepy joe" to deride his age and ability to stay attentive, publicly falling asleep at something you need to stay attentive to over and over and over again is worth pointing out.

[-] DABDA@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Nice rip, Alex

[-] comradegreetingcard@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

How many 'again' s are we at now

[+] Rooskie91@discuss.online -24 points 8 months ago

What is this, elementary school? This is news?

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 30 points 8 months ago

Yes, yes it is news.

No former President has ever been brought to trial for a crime before.

A major Presidential candidate who is unable to function is also news.

[+] Rooskie91@discuss.online -27 points 8 months ago

So we should make fun of his medical conditions and call him a big dumb poopy butt? This kind of dismissive, glib, ultimately humanizing to his follower content got him elected on the first place.

I'm not standing up for him, but goddamn if we aren't repeating history.

No one is making fun of a medical condition. People are making fun of a man, who has made attacking his opponent for being old and tired a central theme of his campaign, hypocritically falling asleep during a fucking criminal trial.

As the article notes, he is selling himself as a strong man opposed to Biden who is old and weak and tired. Any chance the media has to strip that pathetic and empty veneer off is good for the country, especially if it draws more attention to his criminal trial where he tried to bribe someone to help him win an election.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

call him a big dumb poopy butt?

That's not actually in the article.

His followers knew he was a terrible person in 2016. There were literally hundreds of examples of his atrocious behavior; everything from the pussy gabber tape to calling not getting VD in his tomcat days his 'personal Vietnam.'

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Calling him a big dumb poopy butt IS pretty funny

[-] Birdie@thelemmy.club 15 points 8 months ago

Of course it's news! It highlights the fact that Trump cannot pay attention for any meaningful period of time. How can a man who can't stay awake when his future is at stake pay attention when it's our future at stake?
