Rapist Who Wanted Vice President Dead Compares Self to Navalny

A+ headline. No notes.

I was about to report the post for editorializing the title, but nope: that's the actual article title lol

Gloves off on that title
- Fucking finally. The New Republic isn’t a huge player, but it’s nice to see a mainstream-ish media outlet calling him out without using flowery language or an op-ed to dance around it.
Lol, I figured that would happen.

Now that is how you write a headline about that guy.

Seriously. I was confused at first. Nobody talks about him like that. So refreshing.

Now there's a headline you don't see everyday

And yet you absolutely should see it every day until election day.
- Yep, time to call a spade a spade, and a rapist and traitor to our country exactly that.
Just another example of dishonest journalism
- Every word in that headline is objectively true. What on earth are you talking about?
- I think your insights feature must be broken, guru, because you're dead wrong.
- If, by dishonest journalism, you mean that we don't see this nearly enough, then, yes. Too many corporations playing the bothsiderist "objective" game when it comes to a terrorist like tiny d.

The difference between these two men is that Navalny was never given any sort of due process.

Donald Trump has perhaps received more due process than any individual in the history of the nation. He walks free as a bird despite 91 felony counts, has had multiple court appearances where his legal team had ample time to present evidence to defend him, and has made extensive use of his right to an appeal in just about every judgement against him.

Trump losing in court isn't a grand deep state conspiracy, he's actually just guilty and really bad at presenting evidence to the contrary.

Another big difference is that Navalny was prosecuted and eventually killed for politics, and Donnie avoided prosecution for years because of politics.
Another is that Navalny was persecuted by a dictator while Donnie was indicted by juries of his peers.
Of all the white privilege there is to have, tiny d does seem to have the bulk of it.

"Wait, what? So you agree Navalny's prosecution was a gross violation of human rights?"
"Absolutely not. You look at what he did, okay? I spoke directly to Putin, great man by the way, what the press in this country has done to him is a terrible thing, absolutely terrible. He held on to power for 20 years in RUSH-SHA, you think that's easy? Putin assured me this man was a criminal scum, a rapist and treasoner and everything under the sun, and I believe him. Why wouldn't I? You have to put these things down with strength, very strongly. You look at what Xi has done in CHY-na, or what they've done in the Philippines, that's the way to do it. You have some guy who's going to get up and talk about treason? Boom, right to Siberia. I mean they say he died of natural causes, but who's to say? I tell you, I wish we could do that here. Maybe if I get elected, we'll be able to, but we'll see what happens."
"But didn't you say you're just like Navalny?"
"When did I say that? I never said that."

(Not that "Trump contradicts self" is news, but this one is especially severe.)

(Edit: The above exchange is fake, I made it up; I'm just making a point.)

Is that an actual quote? I don't see it in the article, and I honestly can't distinguish between satire of Trump's speech and his actual words anymore.
- Sorry to disappoint, it is fake. I added a note to be clear, since yes it sounds a lot like something he would say.
Pardon my ignorance but one thing I don’t get that isn’t the entire view of putin is to distance russia from the west, why the heck would you want to be friends with him, same with putin?

Braindead and a flaming nationalist?

That man is insufferable.

Seriously, every news outlet should refer to tiny d this way. Instead of "Trump" or, worse "President Trump" (ffffffffuuuuuck that), it should be "Rapist Who Wanted Vice President Dead". In every headline dealing with this human filth.

We should refer to him as a convicted rapist all the time.

*adjudicated as a rapist in a court of law
would be more accurate, legally speaking
He is a rapist
- Slightly less pithy, though. Let's compromise and go with "rapist scum".
It's not actually accurate, though. Civil liability is not a criminal conviction. The standard of proof is very different.
- I'll allow it.

So much to digest in this article it's unreal (the comment below is AI generated and picks up everything in this weirdly laid out news site):

Donald Trump compared his legal troubles to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's imprisonment and death in a Russian penal colony, drawing criticism for minimizing Navalny's plight.
Republicans have touted claims by Alexander Smirnov about Biden corruption in Ukraine, but he has now been charged with lying to the FBI and admitted Russian intelligence helped him smear Hunter Biden.
A transgender teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten at their Oklahoma school and later died, highlighting the dangers transgender students face, especially after Oklahoma's anti-trans bathroom bill.
Yulia Navalnaya, wife of slain Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was temporarily banned from Twitter for unclear reasons after posting a video accusing Putin of killing her husband.
Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don't need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
Christian nationalist figures like Russell Vought seek to infuse their ideology more deeply into a potential second Trump administration.
E. Jean Carroll's lawyer hinted they may sue Donald Trump for a third time if he continues denying the rape and defaming her after being ordered to pay $88 million.
Samuel Alito complained that people who oppose homosexuality are unfairly branded as bigots.
Donald Trump was reportedly obsessed with punishing Snoop Dogg in his final White House hours over past criticisms.
Hunter Biden's lawyers argue the investigation against him included factual errors like mistaking sawdust for cocaine.

Look, you just threw out a lot of stuff and I don't have time to address it all. I just want to say:
Bernie Moreno, a Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, suggested women don't need abortions and that men should help carry heavy items like strollers instead.
wat
- Anyways - the way this webpage is laid out is weird and the ai picked up multiple stories, but the stories are all there if you bother to continue scrolling

Just like that Brock "The Rapist" Lastname guy from a few years back who raped another student. May he never not be refered to as "The Rapist" again.

I see where he gets mixed up: One person tried to sacrifice someone else's life trying to bring dictatorship to America, the other sacrificed his life trying to bring democracy to Russia. Easy mix-up to make.

P.S. I know Navalny was no saint, I just think that's not a very useful discussion to have right now.

The levels of derangement Trump can reach are simply astonishing.

And they try to call those who take issue with ridiculous statements like this the deranged ones!

clickbait title, but it's accurate, and actually not misleading 👍

They both definitely wish/wished there were no muslims in their respective countries so they have that one in common.
