So, what, did he reveal to Mamdani all the kompromat they have on him and get him to kiss the ring during their meeting?

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

opposite, mamdani played these idiots like a fiddle

basically just wore a bunch of tacky gold rings and shit and made very thinly veiled jokes with trump as the joke, which trump is too far gone mentally to grasp while distracted by shiny gold jewelry.

in return, trump says he's great...days/weeks after calling him the communist antichrist to his cult followers, even the most die hard maga could struggle to perform the required mental gymnastics to accept this. and every chip in that wall is a good thing.

MAGA has been praising Mamdani for weeks. It's along the lines of "his policies are wack but at least he talks about the relevant issues and isn't anyone's female dog, oh and also fuck Israel"

You can say "bitch" on the internet. Also in the real world.

i often see it removed for some reason. it was removed in your post, for example.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some instances have block lists for certain words.

what the hell. why

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Because the admins are censorious bastards? 🤷

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Huh, this is the first I've heard of that behavior.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Neat, it must happen on the readers instance rather than the commenter's. The word is visible to me.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 5 points 2 months ago

Maybe it's just my client but I see a lot of words censored. The word I originally wrote was removed, so naturally I went back and edited it. New to Lemmy so not sure how this works.

I wouldn't bet on that.

They'll be bewildered for a few days while the the mental gymnasts in their brain pivots into its new position.
