George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
@georgetakei@universeodon.com  ·  activity timestamp 7 days ago

The president of the U.S. bragging that he got a late night comedian critic fired. That's un-American on so many levels.

Screenshot of an X post from journalist Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) criticizing the official White House X account for posting an AI-generated video appearing to show Trump physically throwing a comedian - widely understood to be a reference to Stephen Colbert - into a trash can. Hasan calls it an example of "Orbanism" - a reference to authoritarian-style media intimidation. The embedded White House post reads "Bye-bye 👋" and includes a still from the AI video.

A. We’re not a democracy. Not even close.

B. Why is Hasan supporting the Nazis by posting this on a Nazi platform?

Hi George.

I hate to break it to you, but that is precisely how the rest of the world has perceived the USsians for a long while...

We had hopes and dreams of democracy.
We thought of the US as the better world.

We do not any more.
You had your chance.
You messed up.
Bad.

Unless you find a way to put it right, the dream is dead.
Just as the trust in the US or it's promises of a free world.

We hope to welcome you guys back in the realms of democracy once you get rid of your governing class one day.

But you guys got the nukes.
We can not help you.

Good luck with the revolution.
Hope it turns out OK.

You are just helping him spread his hateful propaganda!

Case in point: just a couple comments on Mehdi's ex-twitter post

@georgetakei they aren't the party of free speech: they're just the party who protects abusers of all kinds (racial, sexual, etc) from consequences while punishing anyone who dares speak out against them.

They want to scream slurs at you, then play victim when you criticize that. Or worse (looks at chudthebuilder)

The violence of Trump's propaganda continues to escalate, as his health and mental condition deteriorate.

Besides, Stephen Colbert could so take Donald Trump in a pushing match, it's not funny.

@georgetakei Trump couldn’t stand that Colbert was getting so much positive attention from Obama, Hillary Clinton all these stars whom he’s always tried to court etc. he’s so transparent and the thinnest skin… I’m surprised it even covers his bones.

@georgetakei But in doing so, Trump has kicked the beast and poked it in its cage. Colbert is now out of the network cage and might be free to do even more to incite his crowd.
Every action has a reaction.
Right down to the closing “you say goodbye, I say hello” sung with Sir Paul McCartney.

That corpulent scab-coated fucking felon can't heft a half-can of diet shitwater without wheezing to sound like he swallowed 100 bees.
The superhuman qualities Donald Trump's rape-cult give to him are sick. These are all fucked-up little boys and the girls they really fucked-up, drawing pictures of Daddy they hope he puts on the fridge to prove they're his bestest Nazi squat pile.

Sickness. Trumpers are a disease.

I am a small elderly woman and even "I alone" can beat Trump in a fair fight, unlike young MAGA men who believe 80 year old, sleeps-on-the-job, unsteady, too weak to stand, wears hidden high heels Trump can beat them in a fair fight.

That FakeTrump video was meant for the #trumpaddicts

I saw this and it was revolting. Trump has reverted back to his preteen days in his mental capacity level. The dementia will drive him down and he will get worse and worse. You dont recover from dementia, you simply dwindle your mind down to ZERO and this shows how close to zero Trump actually is.
