I'm so tired of seeing these posts saying so-and-so was HUMILIATED, I don't even read them anymore. It's baloney, or maybe clickbait.
They can't be humiliated because they have no sense of shame. If something doesn't work, they just try something else. They've got to be the lowest form of life ever allowed on this planet.

It gets old. I think just plain mockery is better.

(128,150 posts)I try to use exact video titles with only minor edits so that duplicate videos are not posted. I don't plan to change what I am doing.

The very closest I've seen to "destruction" is that oft-played clip of Gym Jordan stammering his way through trying to answer when he spoke to Trump on 1/6. That was at most a tiny bruise for all it hurt Jordan -- who, after all, won reelection and is now more powerful than he was before being "destroyed".
Bad actors are clearly ducking and evading questions every day of the week, but most of the time they manage to create something that will play to their base, if no one else, and they're quite happy, undestroyed, and unhumiliated by that.

Maybe that's my problem.

(3,379 posts)These titles are MEANINGLESS anymore. I automatically SKIP them. Trump has been DESTROYED with EPIC take downs and HUMILIATION so many times each day he should truly be TOAST.

(4,635 posts)Christo Aivalis is one of the very worst offenders.
He starts with this click bait headline and never gets to the evidence of his bullshit.
I refuse to watch him, and I think he should be banned from DU.
YMMV. let me know why you disagree, please.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
