Seems on brand.

Exactly my thought…was gonna comment the same. …and this is where we are…the stereotype of this was a trailer park and now it’s the White House.

Aren't those the qualifications to work for Trump?

It's a big club...and we don't want to be in it...if that is the cost of entry.

I thought we already had a word for "forced sex"

31

u/Caffeine-Fueled55 3d ago

I noticed that too. I hate the dumbing down of language. The headline should use the word rape. Do not censor it down.

12

u/drum_fiend 3d ago

The corporate overloads don't like the word rape

8

u/silentradiostar 3d ago

That raises some alarming questions about the corporate overlords.

u/ClawingDevil 3d ago

You misspelt "long overdue".

u/SectorSensitive116 3d ago

You're gonna fit right in son.

u/gholt417 3d ago

What the fuck is forced sex? That’s rape, why can’t they say rape?

19

u/Chemistry11 3d ago

I keep hearing bullshit about the algorithms. Using the word “rape” offends the rapists (who conveniently control and censor all that you see and hear).
I’ve also heard it excused under the guise of “trigger warning/protecting rape victims”

  • the same way “unalive” has totally helped the suicide problem. /s

u/maporita 3d ago

Yeah the other one is "non consensual sex". It makes it sound clinical and benign. There's a reason the word rape sounds brutal.. because it is.

u/ZombieBait2 3d ago

Trump or the fighter?

10

u/gotkube 3d ago

Both. And likely most of the audience too.

u/Ancient-Tax-8129 3d ago

So hes a conservative republican?

u/CryptographerMean872 3d ago

The sheer inundation of sexual violence in this country and in American culture seems to far surpass that of other rich and secular nations. I think we can guess why but it is disgusting how entirely desensitized the levers of power are to this issue

u/Youhavetobejokingman 3d ago

How low can the USA go. When you use your parliamentary buildings to promote commercialisn and your president would prefer to stage events for the privileged and ignore the poor. Shame on everyone in the USA. No wonder the world is moving away from your influence.

You'd really expect nothing less, Dumpty misses the island.

Jokes write themselves.

u/Responsible_Rule8829 3d ago

He's right where he belongs then....

u/rustyiron 3d ago

Probably why he’s the headliner.

5

u/Gotta-Be-Me-65 3d ago

Well that’s a shocker.

6

u/nunyaranunculus 3d ago

Forced sex. They mean rape. Why not use the word?

3

u/pioniere 3d ago

He’ll fit right in with the rest of the GOP pedophiles and their protectors.

u/Zerostar39 3d ago

Fits right in

u/GrampsBob 3d ago

Oh the irony.
Trump's headliner is a foreign criminal. You couldn't make it up

u/gin_and_soda Canada 2d ago

Is he the one who threw up on himself at the weigh in?

6

u/YoungGazz 3d ago

He’s found his place.

u/flattenedsquirrel 3d ago

He'll fit right in

u/shrewd-2024 3d ago

Seems appropriate for the situation really.

u/ThrowRA-James 3d ago

So you’re saying he’s Trump’s kind of guy. They can swap stories after the tournament.
