Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Of course this is the take. So now they're going to soften their rhetoric and just inaugurate him next week.

You can even straddle the whole civility thing while using the situation. "Of course someone use violence. Trump promotes violence. Look at Jan 6. Look at Project 2025. If you promote violence as a tool of course people are going to use it." But no, they're going to just say he's a nice guy who's a simple participant in our grand experiment and we need to be nice to him.

How mind blowing would it have been if Biden got on TV and said "This is what happens when you advocate for violence"

"Tonight I feel good. We need to do it."

"I don't know, Joe. Remember how mad you can get."

"How mad I can get?"

"When... When - you know..."

"When what! Out with it, woman!"

"When you lose."

"I ain't gonna lose. This is an official act! Get the Scrabble board. I'm gonna win this time!"

She sighs and after she leaves the room she quietly says to herself "He hasn't won a game since 2014. And he gets so mad when he loses too."

He'd never say that because it isn't a gaffe.

you have been banned from r/politics and c/politics for suggesting he may have had it coming

Plus that's way to direct and powerful of a statement from Biden.

It's also 8 more words than what he can say without excusing himself and rambling about beating Medicare.
