I know I’m pretty much alone on that, but it annoys me that this person is getting so much attention again.
Edit: Ok, I’m not entirely alone with this.
You’re not alone. He thrives this way. People need to not be complacent.
Sounds complicated. Maybe we can make it easier to do by sticking our heads in something to block our vision?

On one hand, yeah I wish I wouldn’t have to hear about that piece of garbage ever again, but the mugshot is an exception because this little bit of justice feels like getting a nice bottle of cold water after being lost in a desert for years.
If the mug shot is a nice cold bottle of water, his conviction is going to feel like that scene from Flashdance. My body is ready.
Niagara falls.

I’m not even in the USA. So half the time I’m like “what do I care”???
Tbh America has quite a high influence in our world so we should care at least a little bit
Totally agree with @toastymedic. People in my country listen to news about American politics and get really worked up about it.
And I’m left wondering why they stress so much about it cos they can’t change a thing to the matter. They cannot vote!
Hardly. That’s like me telling you that you should care about the politics of Britain or Australia.
Sure it might be mildly interesting to spectate, but its not like you should care much.
Only that the USA is an important global player while Australia and Britain, well… they are small fry. I prefer to have a US president who does not call climate change a hoax. Seriously, I can’t understand how someone in their right mind wouldn’t care.
Yea, if you think his actions didn’t effect the globe you aren’t paying attention. For example, if he took covid more seriously, other nations would have been more likely to as well. Pulling out of the Paris climate accords has a worldwide effect on climate policy. His close ties with Putin set the stage for the war in Ukraine. That alone has effected everyone from energy and food costs, extra money and military supplies to support Ukraine, to setting precedent in the modern era on invading sovereign nations. I also think him getting elected in the first place gave a voice to and swung the political pendulum hard to the right globally. Had he not won, I don’t think you’d see a new era of Nazis or their ‘acceptance’, you probably wouldn’t have had brexit, and fewer far right groups winning elections.
This weary traveler definitely needs a rest. :)
I care, because the influence of American politics in other nations politics is undeniable. The shockwaves, caused by Trump’s antics, are perceived around the world. Some countries even had/have Trump likened figures in power. I feel like Maga straight up emboldened right wing parties around the world, to get out of the closet and be more verbatim about their cause.
My main worry is, that it’s something that’s being embraced by a steadily increasing, already big, number of the population, in many countries around the world.
We have a scary political trend here in Germany right now.
China and India. Nobody cares about indian politics. Lately some south american and african countries as well.
I prefer to have a US president who does not call climate change a hoax.
Yesyes, and that’s it. Your system is broken anyway. Still don’t want to see 10x the same mugshit of a lunatic.
Well… would be good, if you guys finally started to tax Oil wells and exports.
I mean, I do care. We share a world, so some interest in other countries is healthy. Now I’m not super invested or anything, but I still care to some extent, on at least basic levels.
Britain or Australia don’t have the means to start a nuclear war.
The US exports a lot of food. Are you sure you don’t eat any?
The US also has a massive export of weapons and violence. If I had to choose a reason to be concerned about US politics, I think it’d be that.
Lol
Thanks for the reprieve. Only just woke up and his face was the first thing I saw on here 🤣
This is literally the first post in my feed without trump on it lmao
Palpetine voice Ironic
What instances are you people browsing on??? In both lemm.ee and lemmy.world I see one or two posts about Trump and then nothing for like 3 pages… I see one meme with his mugshot and one news article on lemmy.world, and lemm.ee has the same meme and the politics megathread. I have to scroll pretty deep after that to see anything else even mentioning him.
Am I just extremely lucky or something?!
Literally exact same… This post was the second.
And people wonder how I know that Lemmy is all teenagers.
Teenagers? What effing instance are you running on? I mostly see 30+ IT people wherever I go
My knees certainly ain’t teenagers anymore. Nor is my digestive system…
Check out [email protected] if you want to feel old. I’m going to turn 30 next year and most of them are too new for me.
Wait what? Last month Lemmy was “good because there’s no teenagers” ???!
Me opening Kbin this morning:
):<

):< ):<

what am I looking at
Turn your device sideways to the left. Do people really not recognize emoticons anymore?
Interestingly on liftoff it didn’t render, I see a bunch of <
I think it’s meant to be ):< (lt is for “less than”)
same for me
Same on Memmy
Memmy isn’t rendering it properly. Probably cause I see HTML escaping being used. I’d submit an issue on their GitHub if possible
They’re everywhere, I think they might be following me, oh what’s that, someone’s knocking at the door…
Ah man I really needed this, one from every 2 posts is about the mugshot
Is this picture from a game? Looks like something I might like to play.
Dark Souls
Of course you’d like to play it. It’s dark souls.
Wow, it looked like a screen grab from a text based adventure game or something 😂
Prepare to die
I could look at them all day. I need no rest.
such thirsty soul
Damn, this is now in my feed one of the first posts. Shouldn’t it be after the mugshots. System error, lmao.
Looks like Lemmy has seen enough orange.
His name has been filtered from my feed for months
How?
Sync for lemmy has a filter by word setting
And Liftoff?
Not sure – haven’t used liftoff
You can do that?
Look through your settings
Perfect!
