remember that the medicaid cuts go into effect AFTER the midterm elections next year. the people who are currently losing their minds about this one completely made up non-issue hopefully remember it long enough to vote on those feelings of betrayal

Considering all the blatant illegal and immoral shit Trump does on a regular basis, for THIS to be the turning point is pathetic and absurd.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Spoiler alert- this is not the turning point, these morons will still support him in spite of this

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

i guess either it's not actually about the Epstein cause, but about the BBB:

  • Trump has cut medicaid and it will hurt the people who voted for him. Many have voiced concerns but Trump has ignored them. So they seek an alternative outlet for their anger.
  • Note that the current anger started 1 week after Trump signed BBB! (which was signed on Jul 4th) It might be causally connected.

Or it's because they're christian:

  • You can kill children in the middle east or starve them to death in American concentration camps, but if you rape them, that's bad because it's sex outside of marriage or some bullshit.

He doesn't need their support. Those dipshit clowns already gave this felon rapist traitor his second term.

And he's learned that he can just govern via executive orders because he has the SC in his pocket and our country is too weak to uphold our own Constitution.

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Millions of useful idiots are about to see why letting the government do whatever it wants is a bad idea.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago

They may see it, but the more important question is: will they be able to learn from it?

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

'bulls---': 'I don't want their support anymore!'

I don't want them to support Trump anymore either.

Those dang lefties! Even though they aren't in power and Trump has been driving the bus himself for quite a while, he's still managing to pin all the blame on them.

Too bad Mr. Trump is absolutely allergic to any kind of accountability. If his supporters and otherwise actually held this guy to task, he'd never get as far as he does. However, he's well practiced at sliming his way out of taking any kind of responsibility for his own failures, and this is just another instance of him sneaking away from a bad situation that he is absolutely involved in.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

He's so fucking stupid that he unnecessarily admitted his guilt and split his own base that has been worshiping him through every single lie, con, and batshit crazy thing that he done for no other reason than him being a dipshit.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lol don’t cult leaders do this shit. It’s called Shunning.

Yes, cult leaders don’t bend to their followers. They shun them as the enemy or berate them as weak until they fall in line

Damnit man. The leopards can only eat so much... Won't somebody think of them?

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 6 points 20 hours ago

Strat is to throw waves after wave to feed the leopard until they hit their feeding limit and explode.

Sounds like someone's GUILTY.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 12 points 22 hours ago

Regardless of this particular issue, he is a convicted felon, so of course he's guilty

it might be easier to list the things Trump isn't guilty of

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago

Someone grab me a pudding cup while yall up please and thanks.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Was wondering when he going to say Epstein and Russia Russia Russia in the same sentence. Need a whole new bingo card now.

Someone on polymarket just made $2k.

He is losing the narrative control over his base. Cracks....cracks forming!

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

There have been people like that at each point of time since 2016. Until now, they were just tiny swarfs of a big table. The question is now whether it will still be just a tiny percentage of followers or an actual significant part of the base.

Let's see if this is the wake-up call THAT MAGA needed. We have been telling them for years that the Orange TACO doesn't give a turd about them. Now they get to hear it from the horses mouth. WAKE UP MAGA!

If you’re not a pedo, trump doesn’t want to be your friend. You need to put on your pedohat for the pedo in chief and simp for Netanyahu.
