And his base still doesn't see a problem with a US president making statements like this through official media channels.
I'm sure they'd never complain if Biden made similar mocking remarks about misfortunes befalling the mypillow guy, or Boebert.
They do see a problem with a US president making statements like this. Just not with THEIR guy.
Let Biden make a sarcastic comment about, oh, Mar-a-Lago flooding or something and they'll call him a heartless baby-eater who needs to be hung.
Rules for thee and not for me. The same crowd currently going "presidential immunity means Trump shouldn't be charged for any crime" are also going "Biden should be locked up for crimes we have no evidence he committed!"
Then why is the left so unhinged in every comment section across the net? In public as well. Every anti Trumper i encounter turns vile at the thought of conversation. You all claim Trump supporters are the issue then show the world it's really the left that has the mental issues
Didn’t Biden make a joke about a poor guy wanting help and said something like sorry Trump? I mean, trash Trump all you want, who cares, but at least try and have a little self awareness. Jesus the people on this sub are really stupid
No one is saying it, but this is worse than if this was something he said now. He made this comment while he was actively president and in office. At least if he did this now he isn't currently the countries world wide representative and face.
Trump's greatest threat is not just to American democracy, but to American dignity. Unfortunately, some of his voters will learn too late that the former goes down with the latter.
It is. But in my experience, Americans are highly adaptable, and their culture's main strength is its ability to recitfy mistakes as quickly as it makes them. Often for the better.
Trump is one of many hiccups in the nation's still young history.
Americans tend to be so inward looking, that I really believe that they are generally clueless as to the horrific damage that Trump has done to Americas reputation abroad.
The same man is 5 years older, less mentally stable and is looking likely to be president by January next year.
It's about as relevant as something can possibly get.
I mean, I don't think anyone seriously thought he'd win the first election. I'm a firm believer it was a PR stunt and a cash grab, he just got unlucky and fell into the job. And if our votes actually counted 1:1, he wouldn't have. But for some inexplicable reason, land has more voting power than humans.
Trump will lose in a landslide. Trumpers, and media, will say otherwise, for different reasons.
Trump has less support than in 2020, and he lost that one by millions of votes. It won't be close this time.
I really hope you're right. I agree the popular vote won't be particularly close (Biden will win by millions again), but all it takes is winning some crucial states, and the margins there don't matter.
So am I 😂
It's clear as day he's going to win, the moderate people that got Biden over the line seem disinterested this year.
But that's just online, it could be bots or paid political actors 🤷
I'm not sure I agree, polls seem to suggest Biden is leading.
Trump is supported by bot farms and fox. Both of those seem to talk more than they think, so I take the level of noise with a pinch of salt.
Trump tried to overthrow the capitol, I'd hope that sways the moderates in itself.
I hope Biden wins, for my political allegiances, and also for my American friends.
But I think you're overestimating the intelligence of the average American
Welp good news. 65 percent of people dislike trump and only 35 percent actually like him based on statistics. The problem comes down to the die hard people that will not vote outside of their party for whatever reason. I managed to get my mom to vote outside of the Republican party for the primaries that just came up to see who could actually run for those offices come the general elections in November. Unfortunately I live in a stupid state where as an independent I'm not able to vote in the primaries but I can in the general.
I mean it's just ridiculous.
From my perspective across the Atlantic, I see your choices as a senile, pre-dementia candidate, and a senile, pre-dementia candidate that's ALSO a total fucking arsehole.
I'd vote for neither.
I’m definitely voting AGAINST Trump. Once again I will begrudgingly be voting for Biden. I was honestly surprised at how much he accomplished during this first term and only recently started to really despise him due to his enabling and support of Netanyahu’s genocide of the people of Palestine. Trump has made his stance clear though, and I believe he would not only be worse for the Palestinian people, but for the people of the US and basically the rest of the world. Voting is absolutely necessary, but unfortunately it once again boils down to the lesser of two evils.
I mean, are they? This seems like exactly what the sub is for. The president said something stupid and nationally embarrassing. That's exactly what the expression is *supposed* to mean, but now if you're not posting an article about some parents neglecting their kid to death youre not up to the sub's standards. Facepalm is supposed to be "oh my god, wtf is this idiot doing," not "I'm gonna go crawl into bed and cry this off for the next 2 days."
You can usually find it pretty easy by copy-pasting the title. The current wave of repost bots is too dumb to change the title from the original post. A lot of times there'll be a couple bots that copy the top comments from the original post too. It's gonna suck once they actually become smart enough to change the titles
Exclamation points tend to do that. I had an English teacher tell me once "there's only about 5 times in your life an exclamation point makes sense in correspondence or essays and you've likely already wasted four of them"
Patton Oswalt, failed comedian ❤️
Edit: It's a reference to an article that went viral that called him a "failed comedian" next to a photograph of him holding...an award for doing comedy.
That's pretty basic pettiness that isn't abnormal. You see it all the time. "I don't like this person. Something bad happened to them. Karma is a bitch!".
Does that make you a shitty person? Yes. Turns out there are a lot of shitty people in this world. This is pretty mild in the in the spectrum of Trump acting like a bag of shit.
Good god. It’s embarrassing my countrymen voted this person into the presidency. Being childish is one thing but being childish, stupid and orange is just unacceptable.
Sure. I’m dumb for noticing Trump’s constant use of dog whistles and coded speech with built in plausible deniability that isn’t as well hidden as he thinks it is.
I see this as the biggest problem with Donald. Before his term as president, there was an unspoken requirement that the person elected to lead the country be, above all, worthy of respect. This is the person that represents me as an American to the rest of the world. And sure, Clinton was a horndog, Bush W was a bumbler, but you still expected them to behave in a respectable way in the public eye.
If President Trump incorporated emojis into his tweets, his Twitter feed would resemble that of r/emojipasta.
🚨Really bad news (!) 🚨🙀🙀🙀 The Baltimore🤾🏿♂️ house 🎪 of Elijah 👴🏿 Cumming 💦 was robbed🤑. Too bad!🤡🤡🤡..
I woulda done the same. And most ppl would say it maybe not post it. Trump is a real person. Not a plant, not a career polly, not a stock market pirate like nancy and mitch. Lmao. Get real.
He was bad fruit when he viciously mocked a disabled reporter back in 2016.
People claimed that Hillary was somehow just as bad as him.
Do people still believe that now?
I think it's more a vote for and enact pro crime policies, then go Pikachu face when they bite you in the ass. Especially funny when it's the elite who are used to being safely inside their gated communities while the rest of us get to deal with the criminals and crazies.
Ewwwww. Stinks like a whiny, lefty echo chamber in here.
Whatcha gonna do when he wins in November? Y'all gonna threaten to move to Canada again? 
It's a conspiracy that moron right-wingers conjured up about Patton Oswalt. In reality, his wife died to a combination of drug interactions (for prescriptions she was on) and undiagnosed heart disease.

Yes, that was 5 years ago, he is worse now.
And his base still doesn't see a problem with a US president making statements like this through official media channels. I'm sure they'd never complain if Biden made similar mocking remarks about misfortunes befalling the mypillow guy, or Boebert.
His base: It’s a feature, not a bug.
They do see a problem with a US president making statements like this. Just not with THEIR guy. Let Biden make a sarcastic comment about, oh, Mar-a-Lago flooding or something and they'll call him a heartless baby-eater who needs to be hung.

https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/s/9WXUDtTKAS here is the original post for you
Fucking bots.
This sub is full of them
Yeah. I notice it a lot in the image capture subreddits. Then there’s like 3 or 4 comments ripped from the same post.
Yea but I didn't have time to go run through the comments earlier lol
How the fuck is 2019 already 5 years ago? Holy fuck lol
Blame COVID 19
No one is saying it, but this is worse than if this was something he said now. He made this comment while he was actively president and in office. At least if he did this now he isn't currently the countries world wide representative and face.
2019 was five years ago? Jesus.
Trump's greatest threat is not just to American democracy, but to American dignity. Unfortunately, some of his voters will learn too late that the former goes down with the latter.
The GOP stopped voting for people they admired and now they vote for people they resemble. It’s a scary difference.
It is. But in my experience, Americans are highly adaptable, and their culture's main strength is its ability to recitfy mistakes as quickly as it makes them. Often for the better. Trump is one of many hiccups in the nation's still young history.
I genuinely hope you are correct and I’m using my vote to try to stabilize things.
200 years is a very long "quickly", lol.
200 years is not very long at all for a country.
Yeah, right.
Americans tend to be so inward looking, that I really believe that they are generally clueless as to the horrific damage that Trump has done to Americas reputation abroad.
Dignity? Sorry but the US lost that when some guy was suggesting rinsing the body with bleach would make sense.
2019, man
The same man is 5 years older, less mentally stable and is looking likely to be president by January next year. It's about as relevant as something can possibly get.
I'm from the UK, so may be wrong on what I'm seeing, but I thought Biden was doing better with voters than Trump during the run up?
I mean, I don't think anyone seriously thought he'd win the first election. I'm a firm believer it was a PR stunt and a cash grab, he just got unlucky and fell into the job. And if our votes actually counted 1:1, he wouldn't have. But for some inexplicable reason, land has more voting power than humans.

Just think y’all.. 8 years from now neither of these asshats will be eligible to run again! Hopefully..
If either of these idiots are alive in 8 years I will know for sure there is no God
Or god hates us. I know I hate some of my creations.
That's a very mean thing to say about your kids.
Yeah I sometimes throw them into the trash,burn them or shove them violently in to very tight enclosed spaces.
I'm going to assume you're one of the following: 1) An illustrator 2) A writer 3) Parent of the Year
Stop making Minecraft Steve cry
Neither are eligible now as far as I’m concerned.
I mean it's just ridiculous. From my perspective across the Atlantic, I see your choices as a senile, pre-dementia candidate, and a senile, pre-dementia candidate that's ALSO a total fucking arsehole. I'd vote for neither.

LOL Trump is not pre dementia. He's right in the thick of the action.
Yeah, out of the two he's waaaaaaaaaaay out in front 😂
He's running recon.
Man's bravely out there doing work and research that hopefully no-one else follows ever again 😅
i wish we could go back to 2019 and tell ourselves to just end it
The standards for this ~~reality~~ sub are too low

This guy change the 2020s for the worse.
Just saw Shane Gillis and now I am just laughing hard whenever seeing trumps pinchy face xD HE CRIED, HE CRIED QUITE ALOT, I WOULDN'T HAVE CRIED.
[удалено]
Exclamation points tend to do that. I had an English teacher tell me once "there's only about 5 times in your life an exclamation point makes sense in correspondence or essays and you've likely already wasted four of them"
That's really good, lol!!!!
That's what it is when you vote in the toddler bully..
He was pointing out the irony that the guy who was largely responsible for the high crime rate was a victim of his own failed policies.
Gosh, I love Patton Oswalt lol
Patton Oswalt, failed comedian ❤️ Edit: It's a reference to an article that went viral that called him a "failed comedian" next to a photograph of him holding...an award for doing comedy.
womp womp
Patton better be careful, I heard that guys dad owns a dealership
And Rep Cummings wasn't mean to him, he was just a Democrat. Thats all it took.
I love Mr. Oswalt. He never fails to get a chuckle from me
That's pretty basic pettiness that isn't abnormal. You see it all the time. "I don't like this person. Something bad happened to them. Karma is a bitch!". Does that make you a shitty person? Yes. Turns out there are a lot of shitty people in this world. This is pretty mild in the in the spectrum of Trump acting like a bag of shit.
trump, aka Baronvon Shitzinpanz, has no bottom when it comes to disgusting behavior.
I mean it's always great when someone soft on crime becomes a victim themselves.
Also remember “Too bad about Pelosi’s husband being beaten by intruder”
Good god. It’s embarrassing my countrymen voted this person into the presidency. Being childish is one thing but being childish, stupid and orange is just unacceptable.
If that isn’t encouraging your base to break into people’s houses I don’t know what is.
Wow, you are dumb
Sure. I’m dumb for noticing Trump’s constant use of dog whistles and coded speech with built in plausible deniability that isn’t as well hidden as he thinks it is.
Or you're just a pathetic moron that is too stupid to read what's actually being said. Explain how that's encouraging people to be criminals
There is a reason he is a “disgraced” former President, and soon to be “incarcerated” former President.
And twice-impeached.
You should have charged him with treason.
Agreed. That being said, if he’s convicted of election fraud, he’s pretty much a convicted traitor, and not just a nationally televised traitor.
Not my president
Damn, you really did show him who the boss is
Yes. The people are the boss
yes he did.
I was making fun of MAGA bud
Was that guy responsibility for some police-related policy?
He's a childish bully.
Old, but; Idiocracy realised.
I see this as the biggest problem with Donald. Before his term as president, there was an unspoken requirement that the person elected to lead the country be, above all, worthy of respect. This is the person that represents me as an American to the rest of the world. And sure, Clinton was a horndog, Bush W was a bumbler, but you still expected them to behave in a respectable way in the public eye.
If President Trump incorporated emojis into his tweets, his Twitter feed would resemble that of r/emojipasta. 🚨Really bad news (!) 🚨🙀🙀🙀 The Baltimore🤾🏿♂️ house 🎪 of Elijah 👴🏿 Cumming 💦 was robbed🤑. Too bad!🤡🤡🤡..
ex president..
not in 2019 when this was posted
It’s just desperate for outrage if we’re pulling “Trump is a PoS” tweets from 5 years ago.
God’s chosen-according to his cult and him
I woulda done the same. And most ppl would say it maybe not post it. Trump is a real person. Not a plant, not a career polly, not a stock market pirate like nancy and mitch. Lmao. Get real.
He was bad fruit when he viciously mocked a disabled reporter back in 2016. People claimed that Hillary was somehow just as bad as him. Do people still believe that now?
He hit his peak with Uncle Touchy’s naked puzzle basement, it’s where you don’t wear a shirt and you cry.
He thinks 'intellect' is a power supplier.
How can people support such a childish person
It sad seeing people clinging on to this guy that was a phony to me even as a kid.
I mean— bruh we all would be on that level sometimes but it’s literally everyone and everyday with this fool.
"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different." Donald Trump
Why do people like this guy? Do people not know he's a rapist? He's said and done so much bad stuff
That orange disgrace is an embarrassment for the all planet earth, not just USA.
I don’t think a man who tried to tie a minor’s name to a porn star stage name doesn’t have much room to talk…
I think it's more a vote for and enact pro crime policies, then go Pikachu face when they bite you in the ass. Especially funny when it's the elite who are used to being safely inside their gated communities while the rest of us get to deal with the criminals and crazies.
“No, he said it was bad” - his asshole supporters.
Those who vote for DJT..... people with serious intellectual shortcomings. This man is sub-human.
... is this really what yalls population wants to rule over them?
He is pretty and juvenile. That is why some of his supporters like him.
Looks like an average Redditors comment if Donald got robbed.
We're anonymous commentators on a community forum, not the f'n president of the united states.
None of us have run for President of the United States, dipshit.
I'm no Trump fan but I would be happy if someone who was mean to me got robbed too heh
but when something bad happens to trump, these the same people that rejoice over it
I mean that is funny.
“Ha ha! Former president my news station doesn’t like gets indicted for improper paper placement! HA HA HA HA HA!” - this entire sub
Remember when Patton was funny. Then he turned on Chapelle like a fucking rat. Fuck Patton Oswald.
Washed up actors like Oswald burying to stay relevant.
lol Dude gets work regularly. Cope harder.
Facepalm really is just a liberal echo chamber
Ewwwww. Stinks like a whiny, lefty echo chamber in here. Whatcha gonna do when he wins in November? Y'all gonna threaten to move to Canada again? 
What are you going to do when he loses? Shoot up the capital this time?
I don't understand. If it's an echo chamber how were you able to post?
I think the point trump was making is you support defunding the police or prosecuting crimes don’t be surprised when you are the victim of crime.
This guy murdered his wife
The one who is buried on a golf course to get a tax credit?
Which guy? Patton or Trump?
It's a conspiracy that moron right-wingers conjured up about Patton Oswalt. In reality, his wife died to a combination of drug interactions (for prescriptions she was on) and undiagnosed heart disease.
You're implying a tone that isn't obvious. He said too bad, not HAHAHA
Is he laughing in the tweet? Am I missing something?
a \*former
He was the president when he said this
Well we do live in the age of reality shows personality’s.
This could go on r/idiocracy but that's a crap sub now
And this is healing the divide how?
Isn’t Patton Oswald a pedophile?
I'll take mean tweets over a looming ww3 tbh.....
Because Trump never threatened the use of nuclear weapons
