    lol! It says in the picture ‘new.’

    Almost as if there was a change.

    Thanks for proving my point.

      I mean, okay? They always said the previous gravestone was temporary. But if you want to be outraged, have fun being outraged.

        That’s the thing about Trump. He’s been a steaming pile of human garbage for decades. I’m a native New Yorker and got to witness his venality in local media pretty much my entire life. This wasn’t even the worst thing he did to Ivana, who back in the day was the star of the show. If I want to be outraged I could think about the Haitian immigrants, or Project 2025, or anything else from the current new cycle.

        If I want to go back I could talk about his calls for the lynching of the Central Park 5, or the time he used Polish immigrants as slave labor to build Trump Tower.

        The point of my original post was that Trump was such a dumpster fire that any new story was far more likely to be true than it was to be made up, because Donnie always manages to exceed our lowest opinions.

        You wanted to stare at the mote [the grave] and ignore the timber [his ongoing calls for a treasonous coup]

          No. What you did is run with a nothingburger that was played up to be something that it wasn’t, being so convinced that you were right because “the new story was more likely to be true” instead of checking it yourself. Even when I said that the grave was temporary, and that it was completed and doesn’t look that way, you would rather be shitty about it instead of running a single google search yourself. I don’t care about Trump and how shitty he is, it doesn’t impact me in the slightest. I do care about people spreading falsehoods as truth and doubling down when someone proves to them “no, that actually didn’t happen”.

          I won’t be replying to you further.
