I'm not sure if you get this in the news in the USA but trump and his administration are pretty much constantly mocked and made fun of in the press - at least here in Europe. It's just constant legitimate mockery about specific incidents - most recent I saw was the press trying to figure out if trump actually understands the meaning of the word "decapitate" as he used it in a nonsensical way a couple of days ago. Oh,…

Given even some Americans mock him constantly I would hope the rest of the world does too. Just another day in our clown ass country.

Or the copyright owner understands that Donald Trump is a crazed dictator who will try to ruin their company if they publicly oppose him.

You can follow the Trump train or not but at this point I hope it's clear that plenty of people see the lawlessness, open corruption, constant lies, blaming everyone else, and blatant disregard for the constitution as dictator like.
Happy to hear your polite take on why that's ok or misunderstood but asking people if they like posting what they post to try to imply some sort of superiority is blah.

#36Couldn't the real copyright owner just sue the US government and get a payout? The fact this doesn't seem to be happening suggests that perhaps the copyright owner doesn't care?
This is a very Western-centric way of thinking. The Japanese are culturally oriented toward "saving face" rather than directly confronting things like this. It's very likely that Nintendo approached their own government with private complaints, and the government is handling it diplomatically, rather than Nintendo causing more drama for their company (and country) by immediately suing the US government.

I felt a sense of deep sadness that a dictator has seized power in my country. I'm sorry that you're unable to face reality, and I hope when he's gone you'll be able to fully process what's been happening. Those of us who have to take actions in the world don't have the luxury of pretending that the regime in the White House is normal.
Please read the history of Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Pinochet.
You mock and desecrate the suffering of the people who died by the millions under the regimes of real dictators.
Where are the millions of deaths in America? Where are the murders of politicians?

Are you trying to imply something about the poster? If so you should just directly say it. You can follow the Trump train or not but at this point I hope it's clear that plenty of people see the lawlessness, open corruption, constant lies, blaming everyone else, and blatant disregard for the constitution as dictator like.

So your press spends more time trying to be part time comedy shows than reporting real news? Ouch, I'm sorry.
Yeah, good thing you only read the realest news, and only interact with the most honest voices in the most earnest manner.
I'm sure if you open most European news publications, then by volume most of the articles will be about how Trump is a goofball (at all times), just like how the parent comment apparently claims. There is no way they simply meant that whenever he is in the news, it's usually not because he was being a respectable fella, and is thus being represented accordingly.
There's a point beyond which it becomes a bit too difficult to believe just innocent gullability, compared to intentionally fanning the flames. I wonder which one applies to you?

He's not a dictator. He hasn't seized power. You're using words to describe situations that do not exist, and you're being supported by a larger brigade of people similarly ignorant. Please read the history of Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Pinochet. You mock and desecrate the suffering of the people who died by the millions under the regimes of real dictators.
