They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn't make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.

These psychos truly believe that the truth is anything they say it is.

[–] fakir@lemm.ee 25 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Because their followers seem to accept everything they say as truth. It has been working.

The Republicans embraced Faith-Based Thinking long ago, in which people believe ANYTHING they are told, as long as it comes from an authority figure they trust, such as a politician, clergy, boss, cop, etc. That's the perfect target for a politician (or conman) whose entire authority is built on lies.

Thats why they pandered so strongly to evangelicals, who have demonstrated their predisposition to believe to their absolute core the most outlandish fairy tales and myths written by neolithic goatherders, and tailor their entire lives around them. If they'll believe that nonsense, they'll believe the idiotic math of conservative economic concepts like Trickle Down, and anything else.

And that's why Republicans have been so critical of, and hostile toward, ANY educational standards. Stupid people are easier to recruit and indoctrinate, because they lack the Critical Thinking Skills required to reject obvious propaganda, and are more receptive of an entertaining delivery over the veracity of the message.

HitlerPig even said it out loud: "I love the poorly educated." Faith-based Thinking is why.

Didn't Ivanna accuse him of rape after she referred him to her doctor for a scalp reduction to make his bald spot less obvious and he got botched so he blamed her for it and then did the thing? Talk about bad people in the US some more, Trumplethinskin.

E: Ivanna not Ivanka, and scalp reduction not scalp removal

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Yes. She fell down the stairs and died so we will never get to ask anymore questions. Seems like a lot of trumps besties end up dead

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Ivanna, not Ivanka.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That is obviously shopped. Is the real photo anywhere?

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

The idea is that every sign is a symbol: Marijuana, Smile (Sonreír), a cross which is a symbol for 1, and a skull, which in Spanish is called cráneo, a word beginning by a c, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. All together they make “MS13”. The photoshoped letters and numbers are a legend.

I have no idea if this is things gangs do. And if it's a gang tattoo, that doesn't mean he is a member (he may just like the gang aesthetics, people do weird things), and if he is a member, that's not important, because guilty or not, he deserves a trial.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who's just looking for evidence of a conspiracy. A gang symbol is a bit rubbish if you need a cryptography manual to identify it. The whole point of a gang symbol is to advertise that you belong to the gang.

You could probably find a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.

These are the people who guzzle down Qanon

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah it looks like bullshit, but who knows.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Truth doesn't matter to them, only power.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Screaming it over and over has never failed hi. So far.
