I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.[image or embed]

If Trump gets what power he wants, he will kill reporters.

As the sun rises in the east he will kill a lot of them,

I watch all these MAGA sheepletons and it is so cringe. The man has literally made statements and taken actions of a fascist over and over. If you talk like one and act like one - YOU ARE ONE.

"Stop calling us fascists!"

'you people' are pathetic.

the fact check in your article says it was 'fake news" which makes your whining sound even

more pathetic........and no place

did it say trump wanted the death penalty..

repeating lies could have a definite effect on the war effort ..not that any of you

would give the first s/t about that....

"according to US law the penalty for treason is death....OR imprisonment for

more then 5 years and a fine of $10,000.

The brain dead orange pedo has referred to the press as the enemy of the people many times.

Using the definition of treason on your link, trump is guilty of treason for his attack on democracy in 2020 after he lost the election.

Yes

Trump, and *cough cough* many of his followers meet this definition:

dotard
/dd'rd/
noun
noun: dotard; plural noun: dotards

an old person, especially one who has become physically weak or whose mental faculties have declined.

Tomorrow, Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin has to put up with the imbecilic warmongering pedophile at the White House.

Oy, gevalt!

PM Martin will surely ask the Dotard about the fate of several Irish nationals in brutal ICE custody, the first time I can recall where an Irish leader had to express concern to a POTUS about his fellow countrymen in America.

The Taoiseach may meet NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) during his visit to the US to clean out the rubbish Dummkopf Trumpf will put in his head tomorrow, but I am not certain.

Considering how much he claims to oppose censorship I'm sure Bellringer will be along any minute to denounce the administration for using death threats to censor Americans.
