Same people who think that a teenager should be subject to genital inspection before playing volleyball also think that a major government official should be given absolute protection from any inquiry.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

these people let the president kill 150 children (for starters) with zero recourse.

they dont give 2 shits about any requests for anything that isnt legally mandated and pushed through several court decisions.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

kill

That's a weird way to spell rape.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

i was talkin about the single bomb dropped in iran that killed an entire school full of children because the pedophile president didnt want us looking at his dirty deeds.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

That was two bombs, actually. They did a double-tap.

They’re full of hate and never act in good faith. It’s that simple.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK:

PUBLIC LEGISLATORS AND EXECUTIVES DO NOT DESERVE PRIVACY!

Kinda feels like you have your own agenda here 😂

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Also celebrities, to a lesser extent. They are also public figures that chose to be public figures. I will agree the paparazzi should be stalking politicians the way they do celebrities, and vice versa.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 50 points 2 weeks ago

The difference to me is celebrities are making art that you are free to ignore at will with virtually zero real impact on your life. Politicians CANNOT be ignored because the things they do most certainly WILL impact our lives regardless of whether you ignore them. Therefore it is imperative that we keep tabs on them.

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

No. Celebrities don't always ask to become famous. And people should be able to make art without being public figures.

Politicians are public figures by definition. They constantly campaign to remain in public consciousness. And they're supposed to represent us. They have up their right to privacy as soon as they ran for office.

Paparazzi are scum, though. There's a reason we don't call them journalists.

Politicians should be stalking paparazzi?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That would be funny as fuck, especially if the politicians have to go it alone the way the paparazzi do, but no, the inverse of that specific proposal, and paparazzi should stalk celebrities the way they currently stalk politicians, aka, barely.

Someone this old should absolutely NOT take any decision for a country

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Our glorious leader is merely 4 years his junior and still in amazing health and perception!

[–] horn_e4_beaver@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 weeks ago

still in amazing health and perception

He should say "thank you" to the great doctors from the Islamic Republic of Japan.

[–] Napster153@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

The rules do not apply unless forced upon them. They have exploited the American Freedom mindset to the fullest

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 43 points 2 weeks ago

They didn't give any privacy to Hunter Biden, who was literally just a citizen.

Ding dong the Mitch is dead

Narrator: there was no proof of life available

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's fine, he's been chasing Spanish children through Nazi-occupied underground dining halls all week. Eyesight's not the best, but otherwise doing fine.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 2 weeks ago

specifically sucking the life force and soul of youths.

[–] 13igTyme@piefed.social 29 points 2 weeks ago

On August 3rd we'll find out that he suddenly died on August 3rd.

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Two neo-Nazi supporting asswipes croaked. That is good news and there are plenty more out there.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They say it comes in 3s. Maybe we'll hit the orange jackpot teir soon

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

People are joking about it with McConnell but if Trump dies I genuinely think they will just "weekend at Bernie's" him through the next two years.

[–] jispal01@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Genuinely worried that they'll dress up some 40 year old to look like him, and say that Elon's med-bed rejuvinated his body. Christians will declare it the second coming of Trump and make him King of all Christiandom. The rest of all of our lives will be a world war led by religious nuts to bring the word of DJT to world.

I mean our SecDef has a crusader cross tatoo.

I’m sure proving life for Mitch was hard enough before this.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Who wants to bet that he purtna clause in his updated will that his last wishes were to obstruct the appointment of his successor?

[–] grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's weird that we don't really have any laws to handle this sort of thing.

How long do you think a Democrat would be allowed to play corpse before the GOP would start screaming about replacing them?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The last decade have shown me how much of our government is based on handshakes

Often when there are no laws about something it's because most of the key laws of the US were set down 250 years ago when modern communication tech didn't exist, people travelled by horseback, etc.

But, you would think that a procedure to determine if a key member of the government were alive or not would have been even more important 250 years ago. Back when legislators had to travel by horse across rural areas that were unlit at night, it must have been relatively normal for someone to just disappear. Maybe they'd get waylaid by bandits. Maybe attacked by wildlife. Maybe kicked in the head by their horse. Maybe caught in a flash flood.

OTOH, maybe back then "just wait until the next election, even if it's 6 years away" would have been considered reasonable.

It's not that everyone wants proof of life, everyone wants to know if he's finally dead.

FFS just rot away!!!

[–] Leviathan@fedinsfw.app 10 points 2 weeks ago

Release proof of death so we can celebrate.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

And release the Epstein files

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

dont you mean 1000AD- current? when he last got his fill of souls into his lich form. remember he married elaine chao for accessed to CCP back funds too, and vice versa with elaine chao to grift from the gop/american relationship, his marriage was all business, since he also doesnt have children.

[–] ForceTen@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well he was born in 1942 but at a certain age I guess it’s really negligible lol

Did he actually kick it? Fucking finally. Good riddance you air wasting reptile.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Aw, he dead. CPR cracked his ribs like dry spaghetti. They just don't want the special election.

So much for respecting elders or the dead. Glory to the cause or some bullshit.
