Please, for the love of God, just stop giving him attention

Post a pic of a pleading cat on a UK community with the title "Please can I have some food"

Some yank immediately - "Yah this is what happens when you vote republican"

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST SHUT UP FOR FIVE FUCKIN MINUTES

My kingdom for ublock filter lines to remove posts with titles including "Trump" or "Musk"

I agree with this take.

Is the concept of invasion not clear?

You don't have to ask once you invaded.

Sure this is an unlikely scenario but saying Donald can't afford to lose a partnership by invading an allied country is not understanding the problem.

For me the ideal option on another topic was to hide or unsubscribe from all relevant channels after finding the one that does frequent summaries I can read from time to time. If Trump\Elon drama could've been reduced to one weekly summary with added context and factcheking that would probably erase the need to follow these news articles completely.

I don't remember where I heard this, but it's stuck with me "Liberals take Trump literally and have never taken him seriously."

I swear it's just one dead cat after another with this guy. It's like someone is feeding him this nonsense to keep him busy, and by extension, the media and most of us.

He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

That too. Good call, OP.

I encourage everyone to call non-news what it is - a distraction - until it's actually a thing that's happening. In the meantime, consider browsing the AP to read what's actually happening that's being masked by all this noise.

Yeah, ignore the president of USA. Great strategy

Did you even read the post?

That was the path before the election. A lot of clickbait headlines linking to his platform that exposed his "alternate facts basis" for evil. Now the attitude won't make him go away anymore.

This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥

It's not an unpopular opinion if we look at declining viewership of news channels or readers canceling newspaper subscriptions.

What he and guys administration does is newsworthy. What he says is really not, outside of the extremes.

What's even more stupid is that we've already done this. We've already lived this stupid-ass reality, and the media made public apologies at the end, only to turn around and do the exact same thing again. I'll say one thing for trump, he's right that the media is a circus, and not something to blindly trust. That's probably the one and only time you'll hear me say trump was right about anything.

The thing is though his name in the spin machine is what he wants. There is an entire industry making money off that news. Its a post truth world my guy

Trump is actually threatening to invade Panama, that's not just a 'distraction.'

Trump actually did try and lock Hillary Clinton up, it wasn't just bullshit.

I despise the extent to which denialism hides in believing that if we ignore or don't report on the facts of Trump's terrifying actions (speeches are actions) that will somehow improve the situation.

You can't ignore the truth in order to banish the post-truth confusion. He gets his name in the spin machine because he won the presidency. Get used to it and don't pretend trying to hide from it is a successful strategy.

it's one thing if you need to check out of the news for your mental health but "don't feed the toddler attention" isn't a suitable approach to the presidency's use by the 78 year old whose orders will be taken seriously and literally.

They've been doing that non-stop for the past decade and made millions over millions from that

Do you really believe they'd stop today?

It's one of the stupidest most pathetic excuses downplaying the serious things Trump is saying. It's appropriate to take Trump seriously and literally.

You really fucking believe he wouldn't nuke a hurricane? Why would you believe that? He does all sorts of stupid things. Sometimes he's told no and the morons take it as evidence that he wasn't ever serious.

The incoming president has declared his intent to expand the borders of the US north and south. That's news. If you don't take that seriously and literally, you're just burying your head in the sand. Stop spreading this mindless denialism.

[email protected]

But the denialism in OP needs to stop too and it has to be appropriate to call it STUPID. You can't ignore the malignancy when it's in the presidency and hope it will go away. Every single thing Trump says is serious and literal until someone in his administration stops him.

This is the bad thinking that must be extirpated at the root.

Shut the fuck up. You fucking moron. What happened the last time he was president? He tried to assassinate foreign leaders and was stopped by Mattis. He summoned his militia to the capitol and mounted an insurrection.

He's only a troll to you because that makes you feel better.

Stop it. Stop spreading your stupid ignorance.
