The Trump thread

Black tea.

Naw, come on, I want the real stuff! No way tea can make you believe crazy stuff like this and be so blind to the truth, lol.

Word.

Oh no, we have another Trump supporter!

Yes, but no one is on the same level of corruption as Trump, nowhere near close.

Oh, I like George. He was a great atheist. RIP George.

So all you guys want to do is squawk endlessly on "orange man bad" and are trying to corner with this notion that this current president lies more frequently than past presidents.

This fact has been WELL documented time and time again. He DOES lie more often. In fact, in his first term it was documented that he made over 30,000 false or misleading statements. And he's well on his way to exceeding that currently.
I should note... in several of his spiels he would repeat the same false/misleading claim multiple times.... but they were only documented as being one statement event though it may have been said 5 times.
If you want the year by year average:
Trump averaged about six claims a day in his first year as president, 16 claims day in his second year, 22 claims day in his third year — and 39 claims a day in his final year.
Trump made around 300 claims he got the largest tax cut in history passed. Again, another falsehood. The one he got passed was the eight largest.
And how could we forget his statements about how Mexico was going to pay for his "great wall of the US".
Now, since we are in bad economic times under his current administration, around 2500 of his claims in the first term were about hime being creating the greatest economy in US history, which was demonstrably false. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson and even Bill Clinton had better economies under their Presidencies. And guess what hurt Trumps economy in his first term.
If you said "trade wars"... you win a kewpie doll (made in China).
I could go on and on and on documenting the REPEATED false/misleading statements he was constantly spewing.

To give you some insight in what he lied about:

Roughly 25 percent exaggerated about his accomplishments, and 15 percent misled about his policies. Another 15 percent dissembled about the Russia investigation or the probe into the Ukraine phone call. Roughly 10 percent each were fibs made out of whole cloth, attacks on people he considered foes, falsehoods about the coronavirus, phony claims about the election, or false statements about Biden and his proposals.

Granted... ALL politicians lie. It is simply fact that Trump takes it to the extreme.

If you ever wonder how I view things, just think of George Carlin. There's like a 99% chance my thoughts align perfectly with his. I'm not even consciously mimicking him or anything, it just so happens that I feel a certain way about something, then watch George, and whaddayaknow, the man says it pretty much how I see it.

I'm not éénkennig. As far as I am aware there isn't a single word in English that captures the meaning of it. It means that I am open to different kinds of people and things, that I am not exclusive in who I get along with. I have friends from all quadrants of the political spectrum. The funny thing is that my leftie friends take me for a right winger. And my rightie friends take me for a left winger. George Carlin faced the same. I'm freaking none of those things, and neither was he, also not even a centrist.

I see all those positions as part of the same managed spectrum designed to keep people arguing while real power remains unaccountable. I've lost faith in the electoral system and mainstream narratives because I believe they serve elite interests, not the public. My view isn't about apathy, it's about recognizing the limits of the system and rejecting the illusion of choice.



And yes, I am blackpilled. Once you see through things, there is no turning back. We all get played. Most are not able or willing to see this, and it feels very lonely quite frankly.

This MAGA supporter is so dumb that the presenter called him a "MAGA deplorable" and many other insults. I wish they'd be allowed to speak to their callers like that in the UK, but OFCOM would shut them down. I totally get the presenter's exasperation with him.

This shows just how brainwashed by the MAGA cult these fools are. I don't know how one breaks the spell when they're in this deep. Maybe drugs and electroshock therapy or something.

It's millions of people like him that enabled Trump to get into power for a second time. All Trump / Putin had to then do was just push it over the line in the ways described earlier in this thread.

Why am I not surprised at this?

'Kyiv should be ours': Russians boosted after Putin-Trump call

A day after Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke by phone on Ukraine, showering each other with compliments, Russian home-maker Anastasia had one wish: for Moscow to finish what it started in 2022."I am rooting for our country, I love it very much and I just want Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin)...

Finally, Ukraine is allowed to strike as deep into Russia as it wants and really bring the fight to Russia. What's especially significant about this is that America is allowing it too and that means Trump, finally doing something right by Ukraine. I really thought he'd throw Ukraine wholesale under the bus when he got back into power, but it doesn't seem that way, although he's not be exactly supportive, either.

The German chancellor has said that Germany, along with Ukraine’s other main western supporters, will remove range restrictions on weapons delivered to Kyiv for the first time, to enable it to defend itself against Russia.

Friedrich Merz said Germany, Britain, France and the US had lifted the restrictions to enable Ukraine to be better able to hit military targets on Russian territory.

“There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine – neither by the British, nor by the French, nor by us, nor by the Americans,” he said on Monday, following Russia’s largest drone attack on Ukraine of the war to date.

“This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia … with very few exceptions, it didn’t do that until recently. It can now do that.”

In response, the Kremlin described the decision as “dangerous”, saying it would be detrimental to reaching any sort of peace agreement. “If these decisions have indeed been made, they are completely at odds with our aspirations for a political settlement,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

I love the way that this judge totally disrespects Trump by slapping down his dumb executive orders and parodying Trump's writing style while he's at it!

A certain judge isn’t going to stand for this type of nonsense anymore!!!!!!!!!

One of President Donald Trump’s executive orders, targeting law firms he doesn’t like for incredibly petty reasons, was struck down Tuesday by Richard Leon, a U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia.

In addition to calling Trump’s order “unconstitutional,” Leon’s 73-page opinion utilized a specific type of punctuation that Trump frequently uses himself: a crap-load of exclamation points.

Leon’s opinion included a total of 26 exclamation marks (plus one more in a quotation of a comment by Trump). It’s rare to see a judge make such use of the exclamation mark, an expression of strong emotion that legal writing experts discourage. Perhaps Leon’s usage was an attempt to communicate with Trump in a way the president could actually understand.

Nice one. About time this ass hole gets his bloody 'executive orders' slammed.
Oh and I liked the judge's subtle mockery, by the proliferation of exclamation marks in his reply. Lovely stuff!
