i haven’t, but only because my parents are still alive.
if you’d met them, you’d understand.
I’m sorry your parents are so terrible. That sucks.
thx
I literally laughed hysterically at this. Actually scared myself with the noises I made.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung had said: “The fact is that a private photographer was permitted on the premises and for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump’s team during a very solemn ceremony.”
Project 2025 is trying to drag the US back to a time where any woman who dares to question a man, or expresses an opinion not given to her by her father or husband, or speaks out of turn, is immediately labeled as, “hysterical”.
Oh this makes so much more sense now. The army soldier was a woman.
That explains the whole “mental health episode” excuse.
Also reverse victim and offender, DARVO.
The very solemn ceremony that they turned into a campaign video.
He really is quite weird saying that someone who tried to enforce the rules they’re employed to enforce was ”clearly suffering from a mental health episode”
Did I say ”weird?” I meant ”a complete cunt”
Bruh have you heard about that guy before?

He’s fucking nuts, and as soon as I heard trump staff got in a fight at a cemetery and accused workers of having a mental illness, I knew it was Cheung.
Calling him a “complete cunt” is really underselling it. He acts like Elong Musk, just responds to anything with outrageous insults and loud noises.
I can’t believe he’s 42. The photo there from 2018 makes him look 60.
Things you say to protect a rapist.
For those keeping track, Trumpers have now picked fights with:
-the US Army
-Bud Light
-the NFL
-Taylor Swift
You dropped these:
- women
- LGBTQ+
- persons of color
- the rest of the military
- Capitol police
- atheists
- the childless
- education
- people who like cats
- literally not being mean to people
- school lunches for poor children
- Gillette
- nonviolence
- democracy
- the rule of law
The fact that they even have double digit vote share is a sign that actual merit is low on the list of criteria in politics.
Don’t forget (covered by “the rest of the military”) but still needs to be called out:
- P.O.W.s
- Medal of Honor recipients
- Gold Star families
You forgot veterans. 😜
You forgot the ex Australian prime Minister too
And most of Europe. Look, it’s not a comprehensive list, okay?
I know it’s weird that I’m hung up on that one, but:
Context/Source for “literally not being mean to people”
I know, I know “democracy” should be more than enough (and it is) but I still want to know
“Woke” is basically “not being a raging dick to people”. They can’t ever define it because basically any real definition of the term makes them look incredibly bad.
oh yeah, makes sense.
I’ve had my bad experiences in the past with people you’d typically call “woke”, namely I’ve had a person tell me that I couldn’t use the german word “Digga” because it sounded too close to “nigga”. (I am not making this up.)
But I am very well aware that this isn’t what the MAGA crowd means when they call someone “woke” and that there are militants in every group (looking at you, c/vegan). So yeah, your explanation makes sense. Thanks for explaining :)
There’s obviously such a thing as taking it too far, but yeah “anything I don’t like is woke” is more their play.
Wait, what happened with Gillette? How the fuck do you pick a fight with a company that literally sells razor blades and not expect to get cut?
It was a while ago back in 2019, but…
It is fucking wild to me that, that’s all it took to create backlash. That is so incredibly tame.
Like I said, they’re literally violently opposed to “not being assholes to strangers”.
In just this last 24 hour news cycle, you can add wind (which causes people not to eat bacon) and sleeping on the beach while on vacation (Biden). Trump is a deeply weird dude.
The guy could graffiti the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and say he had permission from a family, and his people would say it was totally okay.
The biggest travesty here is that the employee won’t press charges because he’s afraid of retaliation. Either by Trump himself, his mom of rabid cultists, or both.
Least the bar Is not so low he has to pay for protection.
She, and they’ll probably still go after her anyway. Hopefully she can still press charges if that happens.
