    Isn’t these print screens from the nazi-pedophile platform X? People who find it normal to use such platform are the reason why fascism is becoming a reality on the streets as well.

      Because people in power often happen to be boomers? You can replace “boomers” with literally any other common denominator and, while still stupid, probably anything would be more accurate - try “men” or “white people”.

        Maybe, but boomers willfully sacrificed the long-term survivability of this planet for short-term profit when confronted with climate change, triggered this political hellscape by electing Regan, and have lingered in power for like 50 years. So, Boomers have had an outsized impact.

    Here is his Globe remarks:

    "This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered. We’re in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He’s telling the world that international law doesn’t matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon; a convicted rapist.

    “He’s a pedophile,” Ruffalo continued. "He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble.

    “So this is for her,” Ruffalo concluded. “This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I’m one of them. I love this country. And what I’m seeing here happening is not America.”

      convicted rapist.

      Isn’t saying this publicly the thing that got George Stephanopoulos sued? Not that he’s substantially wrong in saying this, but “right” and “wrong” aren’t exactly things that influence Trump’s decision-making.

          Ruffalo also has the money to go to court and have it out about the definitions of the words adjudicated, alleged, confirmed, convicted etc.

          I know if I was the orange child rapist I wouldn’t want to go to court to discuss those different definitions because at some point I’d have to admit that I was in fact an adjudicated rapist.
          Then again I’m not a mushy brained narcissistic dictator so…

            Plus of course it’s technically correct. Trump has not been convicted of rape, but he has been convicted of other crimes and he is a rapist. So he is indeed a convicted rapist.

          Stephanopoulos wasn’t “reporting” when he said that, though; it was during an interview with a guest on the show. I’m not sure that’s a significant difference.

          Put whatever qualifiers you want on it. A rapist is a rapist. It’s a factual statement and, therefore, is not slander or libelous.

              It also doesn’t stop the judge from assigning payment of both parties legal fees to the losing side. A common practice for those kinds of friviolous cases.

                Sure, but it’s less about the money than it is about the act itself, the ultra wealthy can just throw money at lawyers to waste other people’s time, and wear them down, despite whatever outcome they still get what they want really

                  Yep. This is because most people don’t vote in ways that would facilitate enacting legislation to correct that problem.

                  Our system of checks and balances only works when we work it. Every time somebody throws up their hands and gives up because of some perceived roadblock, that is what preserves these systemic abuses. To rid ourselves of the abuses requires a public with the desire to actually participate in their own government more often than one day every fourth November.

          No, he’s a rapist, adjudicated just means a judge determined it. It’s the same as convicted. You don’t call a convicted murder an “adjudicated murderer,” he’s a convicted murderer.

          Trump is a Rapist, plain & simple. He’s also a Traitor, racist, misogynist, white supremacist, ignorant, incompetent, profoundly psychotic, and irredeemably and enthusiastically corrupt.

        And ABC should have fought it in court, and they would have won, but they voluntarily gave up the bribe Trump was demanding.

        Later, Kimmel forced them to grow a spine and fight back, and MAGA backed down. Kimmel knows how to handle bullies.

          Vincent D’onofrio was in Men in Black.

          Mark Ruffalo’s most famous role at this point in Bruce Banner/The Hulk in the MCU (except for the one with Edward Norton).

      I think it’s saying you can’t escape Twitter posts being reposted everywhere.

      Like this utterly valueless reply from @vinvedmedroy, when we could have just had a quote of Marc Ruffalo’s statement from the Oscars, which other commenters have posted.

      We know for a fact ICE is contracting workers to monitor the Internet and social media including Reddit.

      When I read stupid shit like that, I assume it’s most likely paid ICE contractors and/or state fusion centers doing what they get paid to do (promote the administration, stir shit up, monitor people, and try to get people to incriminate themselves). On the off chance it’s a legitimate idiot, then you can at least take a little comfort in knowing that even though we’re all being fucked over, the idiot still supporting them is being double fucked by paying taxes and willingly providing free labor to the state to promote their own exploitation.

        No, I’m sick of everybody around me caring about other people. I want the entire internet to cater to my personal desire to stick my head in the sand. I’m white, straight, and middle class, so why should I have to hear about any of the bad things happening to poor people?
