It’s more accurate to say dems turned into his version of republicans than to say he’s turned into a dem.

Schwarzenegger ain't a republican or a dem.

Anyone who says "screw your freedom", unironically and publicly, in a time of crisis, isn't an American.

American patriot here: Screw your false idea that you have "freedom" to callously endanger others because you didn't like wearing a mask during a global pandemic.

There's priority to this stuff. As they say, your freedom to swing your fist ends at my face. Being forced to wear a mask does infringe on freedom, but being forced to contract a potentially deadly disease because you can't put on a stupid mask is a greater infringement. See also: you don't have the freedom to drive recklessly, you don't have the freedom to set off fireworks anywhere you want, you don't have the freedom to assault people.

Being forced to wear a mask does infringe on freedom

Both the federal circuit and the supreme court agrees.

Bro I know this is hard to hear but you're a dumb ass. Reflect on yourself

Anyone who says "screw your freedom", unironically and publicly, in a time of crisis, isn't an American.

Lol, anyone accusing someone as being un-American for exercising their constitutional right to free speech is both a hypocrite and an idiot.

  1. Arnie literally isn't an American. He's Austrian by birth and obviously hasn't adopted American values.

  2. Arnie has a right to free speech. But if someone uses their speech to advocate the forcible and violent suppression of other's rights, that is unAmerican. His statements make it clear that he doesn't respect American values. He's a sick authoritarian fuck just like his literal Nazi father.

But if someone uses their speech to advocate the forcible and violent suppression of other’s rights, that is unAmerican

the absolute irony of your moronic opinion is likely to have flown over your head

Arnie literally isn't an American

He was literally the governor of California?

Arnie has a right to free speech. But if someone uses their speech to advocate the forcible and violent suppression of other's rights, that is unAmerican.

Lol, you have no constitutional right to endanger the public. Show me a court anywhere in the world that has claimed that the government has no right to institute public health policies.

doesn't respect American values

You don't get to dictate what constitutes American values. In just a couple post you've already called an immigrant "literally not American", and have called that American un-American for exercising free speech. You are not recognizing his constitutional rights, but he lacks American values because.......vibes?

a sick authoritarian fuck just like his literal Nazi father.

Ahh yes, I remember when the most progressive state in America became nazi Germany for 8 years.

Show me a court anywhere in the world that has claimed that the government has no right to institute public health policies.

Several decisions. One regarding the forcible masking of transport passengers. Another regarding indiscriminate lockdowns and restrictions of religious gatherings.

The US Supreme Court let stand a ruling that said the Transportation Security Administration could require airline passengers to wear masks during the height of the pandemic, keeping in place a precedent issued by a key federal appeals court.

It was overruled by the Supreme Court.

Another regarding indiscriminate lockdowns and restrictions of religious gatherings.

This isn't saying the government doesn't have the authority to enact public health laws, it's simply saying those laws can't inhibit people from participating in religious gatherings.

Again, it's just public safety. It's amazing someone who is so nationalistic won't make a small sacrifice for his country, like temporarily wearing a mask in public.

temporarily

Temporary is two weeks. Not two years.

Ah. I see. I think what we have here is a failure of long-term memory and possible loss of object permanence and/or temporal perspective.

There are health care workers that contracted Covid before the vaccines came out that are suffering permanent complications from it as a consequence of the actions of people like you. Two years of wearing a mask for a couple hours a day is a small price to pay in comparison to a lifetime of pulmonary insufficiency, or neuropathy, or new autoimmune disorders that don't even have names yet. These are doctors, nurses, EMTs, paramedics, everyone from the Chief of Surgery to the hospital's housekeeping staff were put on the front lines of a once-in-a-century pandemic. If people had worn their masks, washed their hands, stayed home, or even just behaved sensibly or respectfully, there would be a lot of healthcare workers that would still be healthy, and others that would still be alive today.

It's people like you that are responsible for the havoc brought upon the least deserving of it.

Yeap, it'd be interesting to see how many medical providers had to retire early, burned out, or were taken out of commission from COVID. People don't understand how damage loosing an experienced provider can have to a clinic.

I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation and our clinic ended up loosing our oldest PA-C. He could have retired ages ago, but he loved teaching and he wasn't going to leave his hospital during a pandemic.

40 years of clinical experience, 40 years of educating young physicians at the same clinic, all snuffed out because some asshole couldn't be bothered to wear a mask.

I have conflicted feelings about COVID now a days, I'm glad that so many people were insulated from it. But I'm also outraged that these people insulated from harm now claim it wasn't real, or a big deal.

Any public figure who that attempted to minimize COVID should have been forced to help triage at their local hospital. They should have been forced to witness what a floors filled with vented patients looked like, sounded like, and felt like. People have no idea how close certain states were to a collapse of the healthcare system. Hell, my hospital was paying untrained office staff to provide medical care in the ICU under the guidance of a PA or higher.

I was lucky in that I worked in a specialty clinic, then a Peds ER during the pandemic and that I only caught it after getting the vaccination. I still got pyelonephritis as a bonus though. The roughest thing about the specialty clinic was that it was in oncology, so all of our patients were high risk and we still had asshats who whined about having to wear a mask in the clinic. During the worst of it, I was helping our plastic surgeon do in-office excisions of malignant melanomas as a temporizing procedure until the ORs opened up for the lymph node biopsies and radical excisions where needed.

Sounds pretty familiar, i am in a specialty clinic as well. Unfortunately we're the state's only trauma 1 hospital, and we had staffing issues before the pandemic. So when things started to get out of hand, pretty much any provider with a license had to do rotations in the ICU.

I have a couple friends who were providers at our cancer institute at the time, I know they lost a lot of patients when we briefly shut down non emergent facilities as well.

Temporarily is not forever. There isn't a defined time on temporary. Two weeks is two weeks. Temporary is indefinite.

One regarding the forcible masking of transport passengers.

Boy the type of people who like to split hairs about what an insurrection is sure don't split the same hairs when it comes to masking policy.

If you want to see what "forcible masking" looks like, take a look at China. There was nothing remotely similar to that in America.

Take a look at any of the videos of people forcibly masked on planes. It's identical to the way people were treated in China. The only difference is Americans fought back.

You're full of it. At one point the airlines required masking, but they just kicked people off of the flights. We also had toothless enforcement of masking everywhere here including in supposedly strict lockdown California. You have a persecution complex because you're a little baby who can be broken by being told to wear a six inch scrap of fabric on your face.

FYI both links were judges nominated by Trump and rammed through the approval process to specifically do things like this.

The first one was an obvious political stunt, she literally “struck it down” in 2022 when it was extended by .

On April 18, 2022, a week after the CDC's extension of the public transportation mask mandate through May 3, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, struck down the mandate as unlawful in a lawsuit brought by an advocacy group…”

Whew, thank god we had that ruling, I wonder how many lives that helped during that and subsequent COVID surges? Thanks Judge Mizelle! Lmao

Your second link also directly involves a judge appointed by Trump, literally right after she was appointed.

In the 5-4 decision, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the court last month, was the decisive vote siding with the conservative judges on the bench.

Lmao, wow, would you look at that. Right in your link.

This shit is sad, what are you getting out of this? What’s keeping in your bubble?

If you still support an orange man baby traitor who attempted to overthrow democracy and install a fascist dictatorship after losing an election, you sure as FUCK aren't an American anymore.

Who said anything about orange man? But if you must know, I don't support him either.

Then why do you spout the same braindead trash as magat cult messaging?

I see you haven't met the Lemmy fake-communists yet

I'm pretty sure that's not how we determine citizenship.

Yeah for sure. Citizenship is only guaranteed if you enlist in the United Citizen Federation. Would you like to know more?

To be honest the weight of Trump is the thing I least care about. i just don't understand picking on it

It's hilarious because he harps on everyone else's appearance, while looking like microwaved orange sherbet.

True, but like at least half of Americans are obese. It makes a lot of people sensitive to fat jokes.

More like 1/3rd, still not great

I googled. 42.4% of adults according to the most recent figures. That's closer to half than a third.

2014 it was closer to a third. 2017-2020 it was 42.4%. Given the tred, I wouldn't be surprised that it'll be close to or more than half now.

The post-pandemic numbers are bound to be very different. I'm working on a study for medical school right now and it was ever so much fun to have to throw out more than half of my work because the results from pre-pandemic studies are so wildly different from studies after 2020. The pandemic is going to have public health effects that will last generations.

I don’t think it’s so much his weight, it is all the lying about it.

So the alleged lieing at the first arrest about the weight he claimed its actually true? Never checked myself after hearing it the first time.

Finding clames of both 240 and 322 (lbs)

Lmfao get your eyes and brain checked if you think that fat lying traitor weighs any less than 270.

Arnold is an expert on fitness. He's taking a verbal stab at Trump because Trump clearly doesn't want to be honest about his own weight. So Arnold is offering his expert advice to Trump about how to actually drop weight instead of lying about your weight like Trump did when he was arrested and processed.

It's just a lot like Kim Jong Un or Putin, where he seriously pictures himself looking like Vin diesel. And so do his followers. All those maga flags and political comics actually give him a six pack and make him 6'5. It's gross and kind of scary.

dude doesn't care about himself, he doesn't care about his own children or wives, he doesn't care about you, he doesn't care about humanity. it's all connected.

This is great, the governator is basically making yo momma jokes at Trump's expense:

"Yo daddy so fat he runs around himself to lose weight!"

Title in lemmy has very different meaning to the article title

"If he would ask me what should you do for fitness, I would just say, 'Run around yourself three times. You’re going to be in great shape.'"

I think the title of the article was different before, it mentions a correction and misquote.

Op is that one kid in Chinese whispers that purposefully changed the sentance. I know it was u

When someone lies about easy disprovable things, and shows how insecure about unimportant things they are, they disqualify themselfes from important decision making for all of us. And reasonable people get it. Maturing is on the inside. So yes its important. Sadly.

Trump isn’t as fat as everyone says. His full diaper takes up as much space in his husky pants as his giant ass.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


You’re going to be in great shape,’” Schwarzenegger quipped during a Monday appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

The dig from California’s former GOP governor — a reference to the 91 criminal charges that Trump’s facing in his multiple indictments — came after Kimmel asked Schwarzenegger about the 45th president’s arrest records.

When he turned himself in at Georgia’s Fulton County jail in August over charges related to the 2020 election, Trump’s weight was recorded at 215 pounds.

“Do you think it is possible that he weighs 215 pounds?” Kimmel asked the former bodybuilder, who served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in the 1990s.

Kimmel noted that Schwarzenegger no longer “[seemed] like a Republican” due to his longtime activism to fight climate change and his views on other hot-button issues.

Saying he sometimes touches down in Washington to lobby both Democrats and Republicans to fund after-school programs, Schwarzenegger exclaimed, “I think what we need is really leadership to bring people together and to teach both parties not to look at the other side as the enemy.”


The original article contains 486 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I think what we need is really leadership to bring people together and to teach both parties not to look at the other side as the enemy.

Looking in from the outside (another country) it seems like republicans are very much acting like the enemy (of the democrats, the people, a livable planet, common sense, ...) in every possible way and no amount of leadership or compromise will get them to act in good faith.

Yeah as an American I can disagree with people about a lot civilly. Republicans are not acting in good faith or towards acceptable goals. There was once room for considering them not the enemy but that time has passed. If they want to stop being my enemy they can stop being republicans. They’re fortunate enough that the trait that brings them enmity can be discarded.

Whoa whoa Arnold, start at his level and build up to 3 times. If he manages to stand 5 minutes without falling over I'd be surprised.

Fuck him. They are in the same party.

Yeah, party affiliation is way more important than who a person is or how they live their life!

How he lives his life, exactly. Living his life, supporting the Republican party with his money, messaging, and his vote. Fuck him. To the extent he seems decent and positive, he's a fraud, because his commitment is to a party that is shitty and negative and an existential threat to democracy.

Noo big wholesome chungus bodybuilder in terminator just ignore literal republican governor and adultery

What does adultery have to do with anything?

If you're too "special" to get it on your own, don't concern yourself with that, I'm addressing the kind of people who already know its impact on someone's esteem ;)

Nooo it's the pussy troll again! I thought you had somewhere to be because you've got big things to do?

Walked away in another thread because pussy couldn't handle the heat. What a shitty weak ass troll. Get a fucking life, loser.

You ain't not king, you're a little pussy.

Ain't not king is a double negative which infers the positive, thanks for calling me a king, lad. Cheers 🍻

Lmao youre such a stupid piece of shit.

Do you really think anyone takes your weak insults to heart?

Like what wussy pedantry is this? Fucking lol

Glad to see that even you realized I'm a King, cheers 🍻

Omfg lmao

You are nowhere as clever or thoughtful as you think you are.

Like this is "I know what you are but what am I" level.

If the guy who considers proper grammar wussy pedantry calls me stupid, I'll reflect upon myself. Cheers 🥂

People who are obsessed with grammar being "right" are so disconnected from the reality of evolution of language its hilarious.

Take your grade school level understanding and shove it chucklefuck.

Bet your racist ass thinks AAVE means black people are stupid.

Uhm your illiteracy is amusing but projecting racism is a bit too far for me lad, we end this exchange here. I hope your state provides free therapy sessions to unemployed citizens
