I do have Facebook and it does to a reel/short video of Trump speaking, which I refuse to watch since I just ate.
Wow! He was giving a speech today, and was acting deranged. I can hardly describe it. He was pretending to clear his throat and say “Ladies and gentlemen”, and loosening himself up, and repeating it, and slurring all his words badly, all at the same time.
He was mocking Biden. Out of context it looks like he’s having a stroke or something. Really, nothing to see here.
Is that what he was doing???
Yes. I found a clip and he was pretending to be Biden giving a speech.
That’s why I have never trusted a short clip of Trump. Without context it can be saying anything misleading about him, whether positive or negative. That has been the case for the past decade. Anyone who sees a short clip of Trump and concludes something from it has not been paying any attention.
Also… To everyone, stay the fuck off Facebook if you’re looking for information. It is absolutely horrendous. If I see something on Facebook I write it off immediately as a lie, and you should too. It’s fine for keeping in touch with people you know. It’s useless for literally anything else.
Hey, don’t forget the catpix!
Catpix are also lies!!!
(But often cute lies.)
Aw, somebody needs a puppy swarm!
So the context we that he making fun of Biden…and that makes it less deranged?
Exactly! It was clear he was trying to put on an act for some purpose, but I didn’t know what it was. He obviously thought he was amusing his audience - that they were admiring his performance.
It’s what he does. Like mocking that disabled reporter in the first campaign. So no, not less deranged by any measure.
But there’s a difference between “Trump is a fucking moron” and “Trump struggles to talk because of health reasons”. Especially in the context of this thread.
I saw a claim on Twitter, involving an unnamed oil executive who was part of the group meeting with Trump on taking over the Venezuelan oil industry. This guy supposedly said that Trump smelled like spoiled beef and farted audibly at least nine times during the meeting.*
C’mon.
I mean, who counts things like that? Though it stands to reason the figure would be more accurate than if they were silent farts, where persistent/overlapping odor could interfere with counting accuracy.
*excessive flatulence can reflect serious disease.
I mean, we’ve got corroborating testimony on that one.
Suddenly, I feel a slight degree of sympathy for Melania.
I really don’t care, do u?
They say that the smell of his terrible hygiene and unrelenting farts can ruin the smell and the taste of even the strongest cigars.
This may be why Exxon is Out.
It used to be good for that. But it’s not any more. You mostly get presented random things that aren’t from your friends, that Facebook thinks will engage you. That’s why i stopped using it. Because I’d pop over to read a friend’s obituary, see one other post from a friend, and then 3 random other things before any other posts from people i knew showed up.
Not only that, some of those relatives you’re trying to stay in touch with will get sucked in by the algorithm, so instead of seeing family updates you’re bombarded with ‘stories’ they’ve assembled that quickly remind you why you stopped going to family reunions.
I don’t read or post anything political on FB and stay away from those who do. I am close to many of my family members and know which ones to avoid on Facebook just in case.
I write funny stories for family/friends once or twice a month and possibly check my local county bulletin board for information.
Other than that it is a giant algorithmic cesspool.
I am eagerly awaiting the big beautiful obituary post on FB.
