A convicted felon wants to take the guy that has children executed for listening to music to a baseball game. What a dream team.
Hey now. Be fair. The convicted felon is also an alleged child abuser and rapist.
Also attempted coup doer. Weird to me that everyone seems to forget that. Maybe it needs a more catchy phrase.
I think “Benedict Donald” has a decent ring to it. For anyone who knows any amount of history, anyway.
I’m hoping “felonious DJT” catches on.
7th inning stretch music turns into a bloodbath as the screams can be heard several blocks away from the stadium.
Take me out at the ball game,
Take me out in the crowd!
Generally if you hear something that makes no sense about an enemy of the US, it’s either outright fabricated or missing vital context.
Like the trash story from a couple months ago was missing the context that South Korea has been sending balloons that littered North Korea with leaflets beforehand.
You’re right. Maybe the kids in OPs post had been warned already to stop listening to music. They probably instigated and escalated the situation.
Come on, what’s more likely, that North Koreans are literally cartoon villains who execute children for listening to music (when they’re not pretending to till the fake fields around the fake village at the border, pretending to play in the fake water park, or pulling the trains from village to village)? Or that some tabloid made it up, and nobody bothers to fact check anything about north korea?
You’d recognize how silly it is if a conservative told you “<enemy of america> hates us for our freedom”, why don’t you see it here?
I think both scenarios are 100% plausible. If conservatives made those claims about a political enemy, I’d look at the body of evidence that enemy has produced, and make some judgement calls. NK has a shit track record of being good to its citizens. There are videos of defectors getting shot, stories of political prisoners or just prisoners being tortured and killed, some from the United States, and mountains of other individual acts that show them them as radicals that may kill kids just because.
stories of political prisoners or just prisoners being tortured and killed
Similar to Cuban refugees, they can literally get thrown in prison or executed as agents of an enemy state if they say positive things about Korea.
Journalists paying defectors to share a story would be considered wildly unethical in any other circumstance, but it’s par for the course for north Korean defectors.
The wild stories about rats eating children and children eating rats in camps they torture you for 7 generations is like the definition of non-credible.

I just left that instance because of it being a shithole. Thank you for affirming my decision.
You’re welcome. I accidentally had an account on that shithole when I first joined Lemmy. Spent a bunch of time in the tech communities, those weren’t so bad, so it took a bit to notice. I don’t think they were up front about pandering to authoritarian states in their description when I joined, either, they might have changed since.
I feel like all Harris (or whoever, but realistically, almost certainly Harris) has to do at this point is to read aloud a transcript of crazy shit he says in the context of a debate and just not let go until Trump either provides some sort of real answer or just completely loses his mind and tries to bum rush her podium.
The man clearly has a head full of mush. When is the media going to demand a press conference to ask him pointed questions about his mental health? That’s how we judge our older presidential candidates, and trump is the oldest candidate in presidential history.
I fully expect 10 more articles from every publication, just on the gibberish from this instance. Maybe trump could drop out so JD Vance can run? More and more people are saying that recently.
JD Vance makes trump look ancient. Can we get clarification on trump’s mental issues, maybe through a solo press conference with JD Vance? Trump doesn’t have to attend.
If she read a transcript of Trump’s inane ramblings, the sound bites of her sounding insane while saying all that would be on Fox and the rest of right wing media within minutes.
Yes after her opening statement of “things a convicted felon says …”
This is amazing! So like everything with this dipshit, his base has to gargle his balls and defend everything as the best and the Right Thing™ which means they should be supporting a communist dictator!
Their entire identity is being against communism!
Love it.
Really wonder how they’ll renconcile those
Why reconcile when you can just keep gargling balls?
No no guys, he misspoke! He wants his base to gargle kims balls
What an idiot. Everyone knows K.J. is a basketball guy.
Cool, save a seat for Hannibal Lecter!
I mean I don’t like Trump at all but he’s very obviously kidding every time he does the Hannibal Lector reference (he makes this one pun over and over about “having you for dinner,” laughs, uses a sarcastic tone, and notes how the media gets upset) and he was pretty clearly kidding with the baseball comment too.
He only starts joking about it after he gets called out as a nutbag. This is how he plays it off.
But there’s no way to make his comments not make sense here— he talks about insane asylums, then brings up an iconic fictional insane person
Sure, take him to one in Cuba.
Trump getting charged for violating the sanctions he put on Cuba would be really funny.
Take you out to the ballllll gameee. Because you make me look tameeeee. But once I learn from you and start my term, I’ll change the term to last a thousand and one years… oh I’ll take you out to the ballllll gameeee
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump said he’d like to take North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un to a baseball game as he boasted about their friendship at a Michigan rally on Saturday.
Under Kim’s leadership, “the government maintains fearful obedience by using threats of torture, executions, imprisonment, enforced disappearances, and forced labor,” Human Rights Watch reports.
Trump mentioned Orbán during the same Michigan rally, celebrating praise he claimed to have received from the authoritarian leader.
“Viktor Orbán… said when asked what happened with the world it’s falling to pieces, the wars all over, he said, ‘Bring back Trump.
The Hungarian leader has similarly praised Trump, calling the former president his “good friend” earlier this year when the duo met in Washington, DC.
Trump has also repeatedly praised Russia’s Vladimir Putin – even taking his side over that of US intelligence at a press conference in Helsinki in 2018 – and Xi Jinping of China.
The original article contains 446 words, the summary contains 148 words. Saved 67%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Is that before or after the knob slobbin? Hard to tell with these republikkklowns.
“Trump says” …
fucking junk article ?
…“he’d like to take Kim Jong-Un to a baseball game”
But of course : 99% of the time.If only it had been just an inch or two to the right…
I’d like to take them both to a baseball
gamebatMe too! He would be the ball. I would have the bat. I can’t afford tickets right now because we spend our tax money keeping an eye on Kim. So we’ll play in the back of a NY Alley where it’s safe.
so bets on if he thinks jong-un spent his whole life in north korea. Im betting he does thing that.
