Caesar Augustus for president 2028! Kill the swamp
If not dictator why dictator shaped
If not a dictatorship why PDF file shaped
I prefer my autocrats in .txt
but seriously why are we censoring “pedophile” here?
I self censored for no reason really.
I think I’ve written the word pedophile too much lately and wanted to mix things up a bit.
Why does acrobat support PDF files?
They’re in the files…
Did you find it in the PDF aisle?
Oh, I thought you were legitimately opposed to PDF files, I guess they are not as bad at the eps files.
I’ve always had issues with PDF files on Windows. I do not want Acrobat Reader!
if it walks like a dictator, quacks like a dictator, and shits its pants like a dictator…
Sounds like a shitty dictator…
Uses the word treason quite lightly for someone committing it on a daily basis
Trump went on, “The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!”
I’ll take “what was J6?” for a thousand
I see the war is going well

What with his daughter no longer around to change him every 2 hours, this term has taken a turn for the worse.
Oh right. The “liberal news media.” The one that’s owned by six billionaires. The one that sucks up to Trump constantly. The one that’s constantly doing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ in response to Trump’s demented bullshit. THAT liberal news media.
Sorry about the loss of your arm. :(
His mom is there to help
Yeah, but his other arm is fine, so… it’s definitely a choice in this case. lol
Another victim of the liberal news media!
Sorry to burst your bubble but Liberals ARE right wingers.
Sorry but that’s incorrect.
It just means privately owned in this context.
You are privately owned
The guy who launched a violent Insurrection, and stole hundreds of classified documents to sell, might want to keep his mouth shut about Treason. Glass houses and throwing rocks and whatnot.
Trump is the kind of guy that 6th graders on the bus would have to take aside and say “not cool, man” except he’s 80 years old.
When will Walmart Hitler just fucking die?
When will Americans exercise their rights and force him out of office instead of waiting for luck?
Americans don’t exercise.
Don’t worry. They’re sending hopes and prayers.
So nothing then. Lol
HOPES AND PRAYERS
He’s way past expiration date
At the worst possible time and not a moment before or after.
Someone just needs to shop Trump’s face on this pic
Ask an ye shall receive.
Ask an ye shall receive.
Can I have a Pony?
Here ya go!
Idk why, but the pony escorting trump?
I gotcha bud.
Can you give him a MAGA diaper (like the hat)
As if starving and murdering detainees in ICE concentration camps weren’t enough.
What a motherfucker.
He’d have to go have a reasonable, fair debate with somebody to surprise me at this point.
So I listened to it and heard nothing about death penalties for reporters. Am I missing something?
Quoting Trump’s post, the nugget of truth is from:
The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!
Which they turned into “Demands Death Penalty” because DailyBeast is a tabloid.
TBH I’m sick of DailyBeast and Rawstory showing up in my Lemmy feed. I’d argue they violate this community’s “credible sources” rule.
Yeah no, the president saying people should be charged with something thats punishment is death or life in prison is exactly that… saying those journalists should be put to death or life in prison for what they have written.
It’s tough, because I don’t want to give him or the American justice system the benefit of the doubt, but I really hate the misrepresentation of this in the media. Charging someone with treason doesn’t mean they’ll be imprisoned or executed, it means they’ll be put on trial. If this story had addressed the potential for the president to bias the country against these reporters by calling personally for them to be charged with treason, I would be a lot less annoyed by the headline, but it’s inaccurate and they didn’t put any actual investigation into this piece.
It might be splitting hairs, but I really do wish for exhaustive Nuremberg style trials when I call this regime criminal, treasonous, and genocidal. I wouldn’t mourn if a few of them didn’t make it to trial, but I don’t want them to be able to take their secrets to the grave en masse.
I don’t think you’re splitting hair; you’re being consistent in your values, and journalistic integrity matters more to you than having your biais confirmed.
It doesn’t matter whether the target of this article is the best person in the world or the worst person in the world, their words are not being reported accurately.
I loathe everything Donald Trump stands for, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to misrepresent what he says like that for engagement. There are more than enough appalling things the man does and says on a daily basis to not go that low.
Like someone above wrote, I don’t think daily beast articles have their place here.
No, they are just blind to context. It’s Trump. He is threatening a treason charge precisely because it carries a potential death penalty. He knows that, that’s why he’s making the threat, and he is vindictive enough to abuse the legal system to make an example of some poor scribbler.
You saying something carries a potential death penalty and the articles writing he DEMANDS DEATH PENALTY do not seem to me like the same thing. Blind to context or unbiased, you choose how to call it.
well that’s true but also the penalty for treason is the death penalty
Or imprisonment.
Point is, that’s not what the quote directly said. And that’s what distinguishes journalism, and tabloids like DailyBeast (or talking heads/“analysis” like Fox News). Hence, every actual news outlet on this topic went with a factual headline, and quoted Trump directly instead of making a jump.
This distinction is very important to me. Ragebait like DailyBeast is why Trump is in power and the world sucks now, because it works.
Ragebait like DailyBeast is why Trump is in power
No, that was bigotry, racism, billionaire-controlled media, voter suppression and foreign interference. The Daily Beast’s influence is lost in the noise compared to those factors.
And how likely do you really think it is that Trump would direct the captive, corrupt DoJ to exercise leniency? It’s like someone is waving a gun in someone else’s face and you’re saying “well, ackshually, we don’t really know if he intends to use it to intimidate or shoot that guy.” And the gunman is a known sadist who places no value on human life.
I get your point, but the president saying people should get life in prison if not killed for their 1st amendment right which he swore and oath to uphold would be an absolute reason for an immediate impeachment to most.

Try this: don’t click the link.
And there’s a chain of reasoning that makes the headline more than bullshit: Trump is demanding journalists be put on trial for treason, which has a maximum penalty of death. Trump is a long-time advocate of brutal and excessive punishment for anyone not on his good side. The leadership at DoJ are all Trump syophants who take their direction from him. Ergo, any journalist who pisses off Trump is likely to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, if not beyond.
Short version: Trump was threatening journalists with the death penalty.
Additional research: the Central Park Five, where Trump demanded their execution even after they were conclusively exonerated.
It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if Trump shouted “I’m going to execute you!” at the top of his lungs while throwing a baby out the window, on film, in front of a million people; if the headline makes inferred jumps and sensationalizes the event, it is not a news article. Its opinion/talk or whatever label you want to call it.
And that is exactly why we’re here. Trump is a troll that thrives on tabloid journalism; everything that’s even a little exaggerated is just feeding him. It’s why he’s there. And I am very sensitive to the idea that “it’s really news because its true with these conditions and aligns with my beliefs” because thats the core operating mode of MAGA.
TBH I’m sick of DailyBeast and Rawstory showing up in my Lemmy feed. I’d argue they violate this community’s “credible sources” rule.
I’ll support that motion.
I’m sorry but I’ve seen plenty of people lose their jobs and get a visit from SS because they mentioned Trump’s actions were treasonous. Which someone then interpreted as death threats. One side doesn’t get to point fingers and then play coy when they do it themselves.
So because one side plays loose with truth, you accept false reporting from supposed journalists?
That’s certainly a choice.
It’s not false
Is there a transcript? I’m not exactly sure which unhinged rant I’m looking for.

Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations. They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at “feeding” the very appreciative Fake News Media false information. Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is! The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies. Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information! The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they “win” are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility! I am so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic “News” Organizations. They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, “FIRED.” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Oh I just realised that the article itself is paywalled and the audio recording was unrelated
Death to pedophiles!
Shitty article from a shitty source. In fairness, about a shitty President.
Of course Bill Clinton was one of the best ones, but who is counting THE LAST OK DECADE (90’s). Everything was horrible after that. Everyone who was an adult in 2000 knows everything turned to poop.
You’re not wrong. The SCROTUS deciding the 2000 election was an early warning sign, then 9/11 came and it just kept getting worse from there.
