I was really thinking this season of Election was going to be lackluster given the current cast, but the showrunners are pulling out all the stops (especially with all the unexpected comedy) and I can't wait to see how it ends.

Joe's getting a posthumous Emmy for this one, no one could have better embodied the collapse of a dying empire

[-] BobDole@hexbear.net 58 points 2 months ago

I’ve heard critics saying it’s too on the nose

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Unironically, WaPo/NYT was describing the Trump hearings as “America’s prestige television” and refered to a bunch of random nobodies as casts. But like no one gives a shit about that. Not even liberals lol. This is a much better show.

Did Trump himself refer to Trump Derangement Syndrome? What a a time to be alive

[-] shreddingitlater@hexbear.net 52 points 2 months ago

Lmfao no way, what a time to be in an election cycle

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

He first started doing this a couple months ago. He must've talked to some terminally online person at a rally and picked up the phrase

This is pretty weak. Would’ve been funnier if he was less bitter and said something “I’m honored you chose me, Joe! But I prefer being president again!”

It's not even Friday or the convention yet meow-popcorn

Certified brump moment.

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago

This shit is so funny

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 46 points 2 months ago

the only other interpretation I can think of is that he's referring to the reporter, while addressing the rest of the room. a "get a load of this guy" kind of thing

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 56 points 2 months ago

Nah the emphasis on HIM makes me feel like he's trying to say, listen to how much Trump's brain is also melting out of his ears every time he speaks. Let he who is free of dementia cast the first stone

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

I love the deflection to pretend like Trump's dementia (or whatever is wrong with him) is anything but the strongest point in his own favor.

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

I feel like what he was trying to get across was "Listen to Trump's lack of respectable discourse and make your own decision," but yeah it did not land at all and was a stupid fucking answer either way.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago

He probably should have said that instead.

[-] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

Listen Jack, it's too much to expect the "leader of the free world" to be even marginally coherent! Back in Scranton... where's my ice cream? biden-point

[-] mechwarrior2@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

He's saying "listen to trump" as in trump makes similar flubs, it's no big deal maybe-later-honey

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

my first thought was maybe he meant it like "go ahead then, agree with trump you magat!"

like in 2019 when he told a voter to vote trump after they criticized reactionary policies under obama

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

At this rate, cia is gonna have to heart attack him just to keep the horse race plausible to grillman and maybe-later-honey

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

But a heart attack will make the party look weak and pathetic. If he got the Oswald treatment, he’d be seen as a martyr who posed a threat to the conservatives

You heard that BlueMAGA? He said listen to the OG MAGA.

[-] dukedevin@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

my fellow americans, we are so cooked

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

perhaps consider xcancel.com, instead of the nitter instance ran by (the notoriously far-right) poast.

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

unfortunately the poast one lets you open vid in new tab and save the video to your hard drive, whereas xcancel does not. not saying that's an endorsement, but it is pretty useful if you don't think something is going to stay up on twitter for political reasons.

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

oh, that's interesting, I didn't know that. I've just been using some twitter downloader website

seems like the difference is because poast directly links to twitters CDN, while the original nitter avoids any direct connections to twitter. Original nitter had a PR that made it work like poast does now, but nitter died before it could be merged.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yt-dlp can download videos from twitter or any nitter instance or really any social media you can publicly view.

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It can get it from Twitter, but with:
