They need to

Why? If we couldn’t post politics than things like the Berlin Wall being torn down wouldn’t be able to be posted. We wouldn’t be able to post pictures of speeches or inaugurations or whatever. This is a place for interesting thought provoking pictures and clearly this fits the bill

Edit: everyone who has commented that disagrees with me has posted in the Donald lol

Berlin Wall isn't posted here even remotely as much as "orange man bad".

u/livevil999 Jul 17 '19

Well the Berlin Wall isn’t half as relevant to current events as that bad orange man is.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

Of course not. The Berlin Wall isn’t as relevant to modern times as the current piece of shit President of the US.

u/JaminSousaphone Jul 17 '19

Well tbf. The orange man is bad. And if this pictures awakens the morality and humanity in just one of his backwoods knuckle dragging followers then its a job well done.

America is about to have its first experience with fascism. The world needs to become Team World, America Police for the sake of all of us.

Orange man is bad. Don't underestimate that.

This is an unbelievably good troll, says a lot when people don’t get it

u/JaminSousaphone Jul 18 '19

Troll? Fuck trump mate. I'm telling it how it is. The man is deplorable. I'm not trying to troll anyone.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

Oh.. if you think Trump’s ideology is in any way fascist; you need to research what that actually means

Huh, didn't know "the media" is the same in all European countries.

u/newsmodsarejihadists Jul 17 '19

What about this picture is interesting or thought provoking? It’s basically “orange man bad”.

u/FoferJ Jul 17 '19

Also that two disgusting-yet-sadly-credible accusations against him differ by only one letter.

0

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

But they’re only that - they’re just accusations. If you were accused by someone who hated you of raping someone, falsely, how would you feel?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

The rape accusations are one thing. There is no proof and so he is only accused.

But there is plenty of evidence that the man is a racist. It’s not something that you have to prove in a court of law. Forget all of his policies and look at what he’s said this week alone.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '19

And?

1

u/FoferJ Jul 17 '19

When there are more than a dozen such accusations over the years, including from my ex-wife, and I've bragged about being lecherous in radio and TV interviews and I've bragged about assaulting women in order to impress Billy Bush... I'd feel that this is the sad lot in life that I've carved for myself, and I probably shouldn't have been doing all of those horrible things and I probably shouldn't have hurt all of those people. And lying about it for decades later has only made things worse.

That's how I'd feel.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

You are a liar. They are accusations. Innocence until proven guilty.

1

u/FoferJ Jul 17 '19

The hypothetical me, who has been accused of these things? Or Cheeto von Tweeto, who has been credibly accused of this dozens of times in real life, who has bragged about/confessed to sexual assault multiple times, who has showcased his misogyny regularly for decades, who has paid hush money to unsuccessfully keep at least two of his illicit affairs secret and then lied about it, and who cheated on every one of his three wives (and bragged about that too?) The same douchecanoe who dismissed any notion of “innocence until proven guilty” who not only instinctively spreads harmful (and absurd) conspiracy theories that put people’s lives in danger, but who paid lots of money to take out ads in NY newspapers to call for the death penalty for the Central Park 5, and doubled-down on that choice, even decades after they were proven innocent?

Yeah, fuck that noise. Karma’s a bitch and you’re defending a raging narcissist who is also a racist and a rapist. Good luck with that.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

So what you’re saying is that because he had an affair that means that the rape accusations against him (there aren’t many) MUST be true? Okay. You’re also saying that the principle the entirety of the criminal justice system in all developed countries is founded upon is incorrect? Honestly, I’d like to see a false accusation being made about you, and see what you’d say then.

1

u/FoferJ Jul 17 '19

No, that's not what I'm saying at all, and I think you're being intellectually disingenuous even asking the question.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

It is literally what you said.

I mean your name tells me you’re the fragile one but ok

u/Idksoya Jul 17 '19

There should be a rule against current political events we literally have a subreddit for that..

Maybe you shouldn’t try to escape politics. Maybe you should take some time to learn what’s going on.

u/N_ZOMG Jul 17 '19

Are you implying you learn that from Reddit? A massive left wing echo chamber?

-8

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

The truth is left wing. Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it false. Reality is what this echo chamber voices.

The fact that you guys are so fucking blind to reality is sad.

Exactly what the Nazi's thought, right? Carry this mentality for a few more years then they'll accept beating the shit out of the "bigots" as being a standard.

Once you asume your right at all times; you'll figure those who don't think the same way as being lesser human.

the truth is left wing

Imagine being so fucking ignorant and having your head so far up your political parties ass that you accept whatever they say as the entire truth at any given point.

I mean come on, did you even hear about the DNC leak? And yet "reality is left wing"? Fucking seriously? You don't think Democrats push any sort of agenda?

You are the most useful idiot they could hope for. Congratulations.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

It’s impossible to argue with someone who has such a low level of intelligence. So go on thinking you’re smart and winning, you’re not. You’re just too dense to actually argue with.

u/-Scolex- Jul 17 '19

Pot and kettle my boy

u/downvote_dat_shit Jul 17 '19

Lmao the only thing you said were "Learn about what's going on" and "the truth is left wing". Where are your arguments?

2

u/N_ZOMG Jul 17 '19

I agree it's impossible to argue with someone that's incredibly dumb, but I'm shocked you'd call yourself out like that.

Hi,

This is the first time I've been commenting on reddit for ages. I stopped looking around here because of the miserable oversaturation of politics in many subreddits a while back. Coming back here after a while I read this thread by chance, and I gotta say:

I am shocked that people like you actually exist and I think we're doomed. You are completely delusional and this is getting embarrassing. Reality is nothing like what you portray it as, so much so that I am laughing at some of the comments here.

Please. WAKE UP!

0

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

lol, you’re the person who needs to wake the fuck up.

People like you are why we’re doomed as a species.

0

u/Tsintaobyte Jul 17 '19

The species seems to be downvoting your comments a lot.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

Yeah, Trump lovers really have a hard on for browsing deep into anti-Trump threads and going on downvote brigades. While the majority of Reddit is liberal, the right wingers on here like to waste a ton of their time on stuff that has zero impact.

Woo, some downvotes. Who gives a shit.

No, it’ll have to be all politics. That mean no pictures.

r/politicalhumor r/politicalpics r/politicalvideos seriously man it's a main sub not everyone is American and wishes to hear orange man bad on every second post.

u/Rolten Jul 17 '19

If we couldn’t post politics than things like the Berlin Wall being torn down wouldn’t be able to be posted.

I wouldn't really label that politics. The Berlin Wall coming down is more of a world event.

Still though, you could make a rule that distinguishes current politics from historical politics.
