Maybe the "Cosby-is-Rapist" thing could have worked if Cosby were unknown. But....

He's been famous for 5 decades. Beloved by US elites. The star of a hit NBC prime-time show. Oprah [probably] suggested he should run for President. Hung out with rappers and billionaires. The Clintons [probably would have gone to] his wedding [if he was younger].

And -- just 3 years ago! - he was considered to be the most important black man in America and nobody except MSNBC viewers remembers the basement filled with chains, his gang of henchmen or other serial rapist behavior.

And it's been all tried before, including this same Woody Allen crap. Has the stench of desperation.

Oh this is funnier when you know about Ernst Rohm?

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

is this the Glenn Greenwald? When did a jounalist who helped reveal the Snowden leaks turn MAGA dipshit?

[-] Saeveo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

He's been big on promoting Russian government talking points for a while now.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah I think this isn't the first time I read some questionable statement from him :/

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Also the same Glenn Greenwald who repeatedly talked about the danger he was in because of what he reported on the U.S. government... while safely living in Brazil.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

To be fair, Bolsonaro would have extradited his own family for the right price.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

This was long before that.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What was long before what?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Greenwald complaining that the U.S. would come and get him at any moment. Long before Balsonaro was in power.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Mhh... Bolsonaro came to power in 2019 - Greenwald being worried about his safety in Brazil wasn't on my radar before, but then again I would not exactly consider Brazil a country safe from CIA hitmen. But I just saw that Greenwald lost his husband in late spring 2023, so that might explain his going ga-ga. Mourning does things to some people's minds. :/

This was when Snowden leaked all the info to him, which was 2013. He spent like 3 years regularly saying his life was in danger. It was not.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I would say just the fact that someone didn't get murdered is a very weak argument to claim their life was not in danger. In other words, I think your assessment is less likely to be true than his.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There was zero evidence his life was in danger. He just decided it was because he’s a whiner.

Now you sound like a MAGA troll, spouting trivially refutable nonsense.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes. You’ve figured me out. I’m a MAGA troll because I don’t automatically believe things without evidence. 🙄

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

No, but because you make up stuff without evidence.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Such as?

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 month ago

I hope Trump gets "loyal" generals like Hitler had

[-] graycube@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Didn't Trump's Dad actually know Hitler?

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Also likely a member of the KKK.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

his family came from Germany

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Big fan too

[-] subignition@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago

Obviously the takeaway here is that we should blame Oprah for 2016. /s

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Oprah is responsible for Dr Oz, Dr Phil, and Jenny McCarthy. She is one of the most harmful people of the 21st century.

[-] Numenor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

She's the equivalent of Joe Rogan

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

On the plus side her episodes weren't three hours long.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Fuck Oprah, she's been a piece of shit since the 80s

[-] Shave_MyBeever@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Wasn't Trump belittled like the tool that he is back when he was appearing on Howard Stearn? He's always been a suck-ass

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

"Hitler went to jail after the beer putsch! He has learned his lesson!"
