(Internet) It has been another eventful day, as yet another disastrous event unfolded in the trump presidential administration. And as reporting outlets consolidate and coverage wanes, Americans are finding only vague coverage of the latest outrage or policy, and this leaves them as disheartened as the events themselves.

This act or policy has left many wondering what the next outrageous act or policy will be. “It feels like each one is the worst,” said one person affected, “but we know, somehow, this will be overshadowed by the next one.”

Editors are as tired as the people affected, as well. “We can only hope this article can be run again, with minimal editing,” said one editor. “This administration keeps creating these terrible events, so that we barely have time to respond. Only by creating a generalized article that seems to cover each individual event, but is really just a vague hand-wave towards it, can we hope to meet our reporting mandate with a meager budget.

Republicans, however, are delighted by the act or policy, and will strongly support it until it affects them or their families directly. “He’s just doing his job as president,” some supporter said, or will say. “This is what needs to be done.”

But experts agree that this action or policy will have dire implications in the long term. As one expert said, “you want me to give you a blanket quote that will cover most gaffs during trump’s presidency? Well… let’s see… How about saying that an adult who considered the consequences of their actions would know better.”

The president was likely golfing and unavailable for comment at news time.

    Looks like everytime Trump does anything, we can read this article and know all there is to know about it.

      I put a Ublock filter on Lemmy for posts containing “Trump” or “Musk” a couple weeks ago. People have commented that my mood has greatly improved lately. I suspect it’s related.

        I use the Boost app and it includes an option to filter out posts which includes specific words. Really handy and I set up exactly the same filters.

        Mind sharing how you do it? I’d love to do this in regards to US politics, and especially AI, since most of the AI post frustrate me with how much bullshit it is.

          Sure. FTR the basics of this have been posted in the !youshouldknow@lemmy.world community (and others I’m sure) so I cannot take credit for it.

          ! Youtube hide Trump and Elon
          youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(#video-title:has-text(Trump))
          youtube.com##ytd-item-section-renderer:has(#video-title:has-text(Trump))
          youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(#video-title:has-text(Elon))
          youtube.com##ytd-item-section-renderer:has(#video-title:has-text(Elon))
          youtube.com##ytd-rich-item-renderer:has(#video-title:has-text(Musk))
          youtube.com##ytd-item-section-renderer:has(#video-title:has-text(Musk))
          

          for Lemmy you need to use the domain for your particular instance (ie: programming.dev)

          !Lemmy
          biglemmowski.win##.post-listing:has-text(Musk)
          biglemmowski.win##.post-listing:has-text(Trump)
          

          Also, it suffers from the Scunthorpe problem (ofc) so it isn’t perfect but works well enough to reduce 90% of the BS on Lemmy/Youtube.
