I know I'm pretty much alone on that, but it annoys me that this person is getting so much attention again.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago

You’re not alone. He thrives this way. People need to not be complacent.

[–] somePotato@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On one hand, yeah I wish I wouldn't have to hear about that piece of garbage ever again, but the mugshot is an exception because this little bit of justice feels like getting a nice bottle of cold water after being lost in a desert for years.

[–] ki77erb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If the mug shot is a nice cold bottle of water, his conviction is going to feel like that scene from Flashdance. My body is ready.

I'm not even in the USA. So half the time I'm like "what do I care"????

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh America has quite a high influence in our world so we should care at least a little bit

[–] ToastyMedic@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hardly. That's like me telling you that you should care about the politics of Britain or Australia.

Sure it might be mildly interesting to spectate, but its not like you should care much.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Only that the USA is an important global player while Australia and Britain, well... they are small fry. I prefer to have a US president who does not call climate change a hoax. Seriously, I can't understand how someone in their right mind wouldn't care.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea, if you think his actions didn't effect the globe you aren't paying attention. For example, if he took covid more seriously, other nations would have been more likely to as well. Pulling out of the Paris climate accords has a worldwide effect on climate policy. His close ties with Putin set the stage for the war in Ukraine. That alone has effected everyone from energy and food costs, extra money and military supplies to support Ukraine, to setting precedent in the modern era on invading sovereign nations. I also think him getting elected in the first place have a voice to and swung the pendulum hard to the right globally. Had he not won, I don't think you'd see a new era of Nazis or their 'acceptance', you probably wouldn't have had brexit, and fewer far right groups winning elections.

This weary traveler definitely needs a rest. :)

[–] kamenLady@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 1 year ago

I care, because the influence of American politics in other nations politics is undeniable. The shockwaves, caused by Trump's antics, are perceived around the world. Some countries even had/have Trump likened figures in power. I feel like Maga straight up emboldened right wing parties around the world, to get out of the closet and be more verbatim about their cause.

My main worry is, that it's something that's being embraced by a steadily increasing, already big, number of the population, in many countries around the world.

We have a scary political trend here in Germany right now.

[–] gens@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

China and India. Nobody cares about indian politics. Lately some south american and african countries as well.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 1 year ago

I prefer to have a US president who does not call climate change a hoax.

Yesyes, and that's it. Your system is broken anyway. Still don't want to see 10x the same mugshit of a lunatic.

Well... would be good, if you guys finally started to tax Oil wells and exports.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Britain or Australia don't have the means to start a nuclear war.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, I do care. We share a world, so some interest in other countries is healthy. Now I'm not super invested or anything, but I still care to some extent, on at least basic levels.

[–] Decompose@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And people wonder how I know that Lemmy is all teenagers.

[–] madkarlsson@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Teenagers? What effing instance are you running on? I mostly see 30+ IT people wherever I go

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

My knees certainly ain't teenagers anymore. Nor is my digestive system...

[–] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Check out !antiquememeroadshow@lemmy.world if you want to feel old. I'm going to turn 30 next year and most of them are too new for me.

They're everywhere, I think they might be following me, oh what's that, someone's knocking at the door...

[–] MTLion3@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks for the reprieve. Only just woke up and his face was the first thing I saw on here 🤣

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is literally the first post in my feed without trump on it lmao

[–] MTLion3@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Palpetine voice Ironic

[–] ensignrick@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Literally exact same... This post was the second.

[–] herrwoland@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ah man I really needed this, one from every 2 posts is about the mugshot

[–] moormaan@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is this picture from a game? Looks like something I might like to play.

[–] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] moormaan@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, it looked like a screen grab from a text based adventure game or something 😂

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, this is now in my feed one of the first posts. Shouldn't it be after the mugshots. System error, lmao.

Looks like Lemmy has seen enough orange.

[–] UhBell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His name has been filtered from my feed for months

Look through your settings

[–] Conyak@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could look at them all day. I need no rest.

[–] unreachable@lemmy.my.id 1 points 1 year ago

such thirsty soul

[–] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

which is why this place is even worse than r***t. There, at least, you could hide in niche communities. Lemmy now is literally only Trump.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haven't seen a single mugshot yet. So it's not even figuratively all Trump, let alone lichally.

[–] lesnout27@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Aren't there custom filters here for specific content?
