Free is one thing. Fuckin duder is campaigning. Like what the actual fuck...
He doesn’t deserve the title of Duder, and the title of Duder doesn’t deserve such a stain.
I would like to issue an apology to all Duders out there. I am sincerely sorry.
Thanks to your swift and sincere apology, your Duder status has been upheld. Duder on.
Yes, and if he was locked up without due process, it would say something else.
They lock people up without due process awaiting trial all the time though right?
Depends, there's certainly a good argument to be made that the bail system is flawed, etc. But trump was arraigned and is out on bail.
Yes you're right, I forgot about the bail part. And the bail system certainly is flawed. Generally aren't you not allowed to leave your state if you're out on bail?
It depends on the state and the bail conditions, which can be modified. Restrictions are based on priors, flight risk, violent tendency, etc.
That's why the gag orders make the news. To your point, folks would be knocked for shit like that.
This line is being crossed on purpose. He can get his propaganda out, and if he actually gets tagged, that's even better propaganda.
Which sucks. But, I imagine the decision-making by the courts is based on avoiding creating a political prisoner out of him. So, we deal with a flawed system, increase fines, and wait for the process to unfold.
"May we live in interesting times" and all that.

Due process does not mean, "scott free until there's a guilty verdict", you utter numpty. These aren't all civil charges.

The wheels of justice grind very slowly. The bigger the case, the longer it takes to build.
But yes, I'm getting impatient. There should be consequences for trying to overthrow the government.

It sounds like one or two guys booing..? Falling for news like this is how you grow complacent and not have the voter turnout that you expect.
Nearly exact opposite headline here - Nikki Haley's home state cheers Donald Trump at college football game.
Yes, it's all bullshit and it's designed in these ways for their target audience. I actually posted another similar one further down on this thread as well.
It's meant to cause division to drive outrage and profits, and everyone just gobbles it up.
Someone needs to get their hearing checked. The embedded video in the tweet clearly has many overlapping boos, both men and women.

Nah, it's bait news. Getting booed at a football game is not the same as getting booed by a handful of people as you drive through an area near the stadium.
Voters are voters. Boos are boos. Especially to Trump.
And you still apparently need a schedule a checkup or something.
Lol wtf does that have to do with anything? Go get yourself checked, not sure why you're being so hostile over literally nothing.
“Fascist criminal with plans to retake highest office in the country is audibly disliked in public event amidst multiple court cases and investigations, demonstrating that the populace wants him behind bars while he continues to make public appearances for his fascist supporters. The outcome of what happens with Donald Trump will determine if the United States becomes a fascist ethnostate or a precedent is created to hold criminals in public office more accountable.”
literally nothing

I heard a mix of boos, cheering, and random noise. So you could make a headline that says either and it would still be "technically" true. The best kind of truth.
You didn’t report anything that wasn’t already reported. The booing is definitely more prominent.
And saying it was just one or two guys is just dumb.
Yes one video of Trump being booed will stop thousands from voting for some reason
Probably not, but it hasn't really kicked into gear yet. There will be many more. It happened in 2016 did it not?

The current state of news media is garbage. All of it. The intent is not disseminating information, it's twisting and controlling it to fit a narrative.
Title is misleading. There are definitely boos, but the headline makes is seem like a majority were boos vs a mix of boos and cheering.
The ratio of boos:cheers for any candidate is not worth reporting on.
The rise of fascism is so passeé! /s
Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump, told a Newsweek editor in an email to "step away from your computer on a Saturday night and come to an event sometime to experience the electric Trump effect."
That troll is so far up his own ass it’s difficult to imagine how he still manages to be up Trump’s ass.
Imagine being him and thinking, "Mm, yeah. I gotta be his promoter."
Then again, a former Trump Org finance person broke down in tears last week, because he's sad they got caught committing fraud, and it makes him stressed that there's all these lawyers and investigators poking around. Some of these people are beyond help.

He should be in prison, not a football game.
Why were there any cheers?
Because there are still plenty of dipshits that inexplicably adore this fuckwad.
It’s also South Carolina. The “inexplicable” part is the lack of education and the resulting increased susceptibility to brainwashing

Don't ruin my day, man.
You are surrounded be idiots. The average person is very stupid. Complacency is why we got Trump the first time. People sitting in their asses saying he won't win and then not bothering to vote or just tossing it away for the third party as a petty protest.
Don’t blame people voting third party for the inability of the Democrats to be able to draw in voters. If they just did environmentally friendly policies and called out human rights abuses they could essentially sweep the Green voters back into their fold.
I can blame both and do. No it wasn't a good choice, but one was inherently bad and should never have been able to run. I didn't like Hillary, but I didn't like Trump way before that. Voting 3rd party is legit a waste until the way we vote changes or we somehow get one 3rd party candidate that isn't crap and has actual power to swing and knock out the two others. Which won't happen. And continues to not happen.

He'll want every attendee charged with high treason, no less.
Lmao, Cheeto Man
I bet there are a lot of republicans at a South Carolina football game
We don’t like using the (R) word around here. It’s degrading and dehumanizing. Best to call them mentally handicapped.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump was met with loud boos as he arrived at Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina on Saturday ahead of the Palmetto Bowl.
The former president was invited to watch the football game at the request of Governor Henry McMaster, who became Haley's successor after Trump named her U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 2017.
The MAGA leader was greeted with audible boos as his black SUV was arriving at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, according to video clips shared on X, formerly Twitter.
Simon Ateba, Chief White House Correspondent at Today News Africa, shared a video on X showing the crowd inside the stadium cheering and clapping for the former president.
Trump's stop in South Carolina comes amid potential key updates involving his criminal and civil trials that could tarnish his 2024 presidential campaign.
"Additional video from AP's Meg Kinnard captures the mix of cheers and boos when Trump + McMaster walked onto the field tonight for a quick appearance during halftime of the USC-Clemson football game," Byrd posted.
