ThePantser , in Donald Trump threatens to imprison Mark Zuckerburg for 'rest of his life' if 'he does anything illegal' over election
@ThePantser@lemmy.world avatar

Illegal? Like marking legitimate news stories that criticize Trump as spam to scare away voters from reading them?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Haha he is probably referring to acquiescing to government requests to censor stories that could help Trump in an election. Which doesn’t make the most sense because Zuckerberg himself says that he regrets doing that in the past and won’t do it in the future. Maybe he wants to make sure?

RagingRobot ,

So like this then? lemmy.world/post/19224767

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Sort of? They’re similar but this is in reference to Zuckerberg admitting he colluded with the government to temporarily censor a negative story about Hunter Biden.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That is legal.

barsquid ,

Are you saying he colluded with the government to interfere in the 2020 election?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Yes. And so did Zuckerberg. Did you not hear what he said? He admitted to it this week.

barsquid ,

The government and Facebook did election fraud… in 2020?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Not like in a “find the votes” sense, but yes they used their power to sway the election at the behest of the government. There’s no way you don’t know this already.

barsquid ,

Who was the government in 2020?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Trump!

_stranger_ ,

He’s probably referring to some delusion he manifested in his own mind during a ministroke he had while pinching off a particularly fat McD’s turd.

I will not give him the benefit of the doubt here, you’re only assuming he’s referencing reality.

tlou3please , in Donald Trump threatens to imprison Mark Zuckerburg for 'rest of his life' if 'he does anything illegal' over election

Bit of an empty threat when he can just upload his consciousness into a different copy of his current model.

Diplomjodler3 , in Donald Trump threatens to imprison Mark Zuckerburg for 'rest of his life' if 'he does anything illegal' over election

Last time I checked, the executive didn’t decide about indictments or sentences. But I guess that’s all going to change if Dementia Don wins.

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Yeah I was kind of curious as to how this story would be spun into a negative story against Trump. Anyone who does something illegal should be sentenced appropriately. Maybe “the president can’t set the sentence” will be the tack with this one?

Aurenkin ,

Yeah, how can the potential next head of state threatening a specific individual with an arbitrary sentence of life imprisonment for some vague charge like “doing anything illegal” possibly be spun into a negative story?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

The Democrats will find a way!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s Trump trying to find a way. In specific, find a way to do something outside of his presidential powers.

He wanted to “lock her up” with Hillary too. Were you one of the people chanting that? Have you noticed she hasn’t been locked up yet even though he had four years to do it?

Rhaedas ,

And long investigation hearings that she didn't fall asleep in.

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Have you noticed she hasn’t been locked up yet even though he had four years to do it?

I’ll just leave that there. It makes the point I would have made pretty succinctly.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The point that he makes threats about imprisoning people and can’t follow through because it’s not within his abilities?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Not quite, but you’re pretty warm!

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Well maybe that should be your point since that really shows what he’s saying in the article is meaningless.

HubertManne ,

When did crazy talk become the norm. Was it when trump first ran? Was it before? Its so hard to remember with the constant crazy talk all over.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If a life sentence is appropriate for interfering with an election, I look forward to Trump’s impending life sentence.

Because anyone who does something illegal should be sentenced appropriately, right?

Gork ,

I wouldn’t expect anything less from a self-proclaimed Law-and-Order candidate.

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Fair enough. The “perfect phone call” was actually pretty bad, it’s the one case against him that I think probably has a lot of merit. I was thinking at the time that it was probably illegal.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So you think he should be imprisoned for the rest of his life, right? That’s the appropriate sentence? You seem to be agreeing with Trump here.

realcaseyrollins OP ,

I mean something like 10 to 20 years sounds fair to me if that’s the appropriate sentence (IDK what election interference sentences look like), which would probably end up being the rest of his life anyways

Zombiepirate ,
@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I was kind of curious as to how this story would be spun into a negative story against Trump.

That says more about you than it does about the story.

Remember when his senior DOJ staff threatened to quit when he told them that a yes-man would be their boss and help overturn the election? Trump’s whole administration was about corrupting the executive branch.

He is a racist traitor who doesn’t belong anywhere near power; he should be in prison.

Anyone who continues to support him is a reactionary traitor, too.

Soulg ,

You do realize that when Trump says “anything illegal” he really means “anything I don’t like”, right?

Also, surely you think that Trump should be sentenced appropriately for violating federal law at Arlington cemetery?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

The logical line of “when the guy I don’t like says anything, he really means what I say he means” is pretty errant and toxic. I cringe when the right does it too, “you can tell a Democrat is lying because they’ve opened their mouth”. It’s stupid and ridiculous.

IDK what happened for sure at the cemetery, I’d need some footage and to read up on the pertaining law a little before I make a judgement on that.

rockSlayer ,

I don’t know if you’ve kept your head buried in the sand for 8 years, but all we’ve seen is Trump proving that he believes any perceived wrongdoing to himself is a crime. It’s a CEO philosophy of fire anyone that disagrees.

haunte ,

IDK what happened for sure at the cemetery, I’d need some footage and to read up on the pertaining law a little before I make a judgement on that.

The US Army releasing a statement that a) what Trump and his campaign did there was illegal and b) that they physically attacked the person who tried to stop them from breaking the law isn’t good enough for you? When it’s Trump you need footage and to do some “research” before accepting any facts, huh? What a joke.

realcaseyrollins OP ,

The US Army releasing a statement that a) what Trump and his campaign did there was illegal and b) that they physically attacked the person who tried to stop them from breaking the law isn’t good enough for you?

Why would it be? Does the government tell the truth all the time?

Soulg ,

Everything bad that’s said about Trump is a lie, right? He’s basically Yahweh.

Soulg ,

Trump has proven that’s what he means at literally every possible opportunity for nearly a decade. You cannot possibly not have come to that realization without purposefully ignoring it because you like him, claiming it’s some weird partisan issue is certifiably weird.

He took a campaign photo in section 60 at the cemetery, that is a violation of federal law. You don’t need a video, you’re just giving him a pass because you don’t care what he does or who it hurts.

freeman ,

Have you heard of the separation of powers?

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Yes

Guantanamo Bay has entered the conversation.

The argument there was that they were POWs captured on the battlefield, and thus under the purview of the CinC.

There is no way to make that argument regarding Zuckerberg.

I’ve seen a Wookie on Endor. Fairly certain I was there for it.

EvacuateSoul ,

Not POWs, but enemy combatants, which they made up to avoid responsibilities to POWs.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Fair point. Regardless, not something that could be done with Zuckerberg. He couldn’t lock him up for the same reason he couldn’t lock Hillary up.

Ejh3k , in Trump campaign strategy pivots to praying he wins September debate

Has we won a debate?

Protoknuckles ,

Depends on your point of view. Either he won the last one or Biden lost it. But, now the script is flipped and he’s an old weirdo. 😄

Cosmonaut_Collin , in Trump campaign strategy pivots to praying he wins September debate
@Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world avatar

As long as Kamala actually provides details on how she plans to solve problems she will already have won. Trump refuses to explain anything he plans on doing, probably because he knows it will either show that he is in it for power, or that he doesn’t have a clue what he is doing. Probably both. His only strategy is to insult his opponent, and I think he is struggling to find attacks on Kamala that will stick. She’s not as easy of a target as Biden is.

IamSparticles ,

Thing is… his approach to campaigning has been consistent since 2016, and he won that election. Just saying “he refuses to explain his platform, he can’t possibly win” is a mistake. The reality is that the people who vote for him don’t care. I don’t really understand what it is they see in him, but it’s clear that it has nothing to do with how intelligent or articulate he is.

Cosmonaut_Collin ,
@Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world avatar

He did have a lot to say about Clinton though, and most of his mud slinging stuck with the voters. Although you’re right that with the MAGAs it doesn’t matter, but I do feel that there must be many MAGA people that aren’t in too deep and their faith in Trump is being chipped away at.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

The Democratic base and the Republican base are two very different voters.

Democrats care more about the details of a plan. They want to understand how it’s all going to come together.

Republican base…they just don’t want you to be a Democrat.

Let’s not equate these two voting blocs.

I really want media sources to start saying he was "allegedly" grazed on the ear. Because so far the evidence after the fact kind of suggests that didn't happen.

What evidence is that?

It wasn’t a ‘bike accident’ it was a drunk driver plowing into him and his brother the night before their sister’s wedding. I hope this guy is able to spend a LOT of time in prison to consider what he has done.

I hear you can drink quite a bit and still handle public transit just fine.

Or even get a car to come pick you up! Friends, family members, even commercial services specifically designed to take you places!

When available though, public transit is the best option.

homesweethomeMrL ,

I approve this message

Carrolade , in When the US left Kabul, these Americans tried to help Afghans left behind. It still haunts them

This would be a decent opportunity for Harris to create some distinction between her and Biden. While his administration had to endure the fallout from Afghanistan, hers could acknowledge the challenges and work harder towards solutions.

This would likely garner support from veterans and active duty military, who understand the importance of allies, and tend to believe deeply in the principle of “no one left behind”.

exu ,

Please don’t take this as an attack, but it really says something about a country if current and ex military are a significant force in politics.

Carrolade ,

I’m inclined to agree. American culture is very aggressive, just look at our films. And gun violence.

vegeta , (edited ) in Exec at Trump Media Jumped the Line for U.S. Visa After Company Lobbied GOP Lawmaker

Trump Media’s relationship with the executive, a software developer in North Macedonia, began in part because American candidates for the same work were more expensive, according to a person involved.

Now where have I seen Macedonia and Trump mentioned before?

I wonder why elese they were looking toward Macedonia to give someone a favor? Couldn’t possiby be that they are scratching someone’s back, could it? I’m just asking questions.
