The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

“You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system … You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”

I thought that it wasn't possible to be that stupid and that you just took his words out of context, but.... once again he proved me that he could sound more stupid every time he opens his mouth

words out of context

lol when your "context" is "the only truth that exists is whatever i just sharted out of my mouth," then does anyone else's perception of context even matter?

someone tried to argue that everyone was taking the "you won't have to vote anymore" statement a couple weeks ago out of context. then some GOP muppet tried to say he was joking. after years of GOP bleating about "i love trump because he speaks his mind!"

for someone who speaks his mind and tells it like it is, trump sure does need a lot of ~~explanation~~ olympics-tier mental acrobatics to get to what he really meant when he said ___________ (literally anything)

That and Trump saying he would be a dictator on day one.
