The Trump thread

[AllThingsTech]

That makes me gag.

Ah yeah and remember when, in that call to Trump, Putin offered to play peacemaker role in the Iran-Israel conflict? His hypocrisy makes me gag!

 

[Hitcore]

Well you guys, get ready to gag some more. I think I may have found something.

This excerpt of Epstein's little black book is the best we've got for now since all of a sudden the client list doesn't seem to exist.

I'll keep digging.

There never was a bromance, Trump was Putin's bitch from the start and they both know it.

Hasn't Putin already done enough to warrant maximum sanctions and then some? Curious why Trump isn't applying them, isn't it?

Has the Trump-Putin bromance finally run its course?

US president appears to have run out of patience with his Russian counterpart – but how that transmits into practical support for Kyiv remains to be seen

Do you think that Trump was truly unhappy about the pause of the shipments to Ukraine and do you truly believe he was oblivious? Or is he trying to rewrite history as if it weren’t his decision and backpedal just to appeal to the world???

 

[Retro]

I'm sure he's lying somewhere in there, but I'm not gonna speculate on the details as I just don't know. That he hasn't increased sanctions against Russia is very telling, though. It would be a no-brainer to anyone else.

This would drive Russia further into the arms of China and you know very well that such a scenario is bad.

 

[Retro]

Maybe, but it's not being reported as a reason for him not doing it. I still think those sanctions should be applied as otherwise the West is pretty toothless, isn't it?

And you know that Putin's most likely got something on him too as he's afraid to do anything against Putin and treats him with kid gloves. Heck, even pundits on mainstream TV and radio are saying this now. Just look at the difference with how he handled Iran. Big tough guy there wasn't he?

Oh and I just have to keep repeating myself: I love how when Trump initiated talks on the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Putin, he just diverted the subject to the Israel-Iran conflict, offering to be a peacemaker. Hypocrisy much? WTF? Putin’s tactics are very telling, I tell you

...and there'a a movie called Superman out in the cinema!!! Don't tell me that's about Trump :O

 

[Hitcore]

Can you imagine: Trump, with a BMI of 30+, flying throughout New York City. Then he gets distracted by a fine piece of ass walking on Park Avenue and with mach 2 Supertrump ploughs through the Empire State Building, leaving a Looney Tunes styled Trump shaped hole in the building.

I'd watch that.

 

[Retro]

lol so would I. Frigging hilarious.

Now to something a bit more serious. Let's see him put his money where his mouth is. So far he's been Putin's bitch. Will this really change now?

Also note that he's making NATO pay 100% the cost of the weapons, so he's not sending those weapons out of generosity either, which is typical of him.

President Donald Trump on Friday issued a none-too-veiled threat of action against Russia after Moscow’s forces hit a Ukrainian maternity hospital, injuring nine people earlier in the day.

Speaking to reporters before departing the White House to view flood damage in Texas, where 121 have died and 170 are still missing, the president was asked about the drone attack against the civilian target.

He replied: “I know. You’ll be seeing things happen.”

The president’s cryptic remark came less than a day after he told NBC News that he’d be making a “major statement” on the status of the three-year-old Russia-Ukraine war this coming Monday.

Nah. Don't take this for ignorance, but I rarely even listen to what world leaders say to each other on television. Especially with these two guys. I mean, think about it, you really think that their communication over the air is organic? Of course not. What they say means fuck all. They have their own things at stake, war is business.

And business is booming when conflicts can be stretched out for as long as possible. Especially when weaponry is paid for with mostly tax money. Maximum profits for everyone involved in the military Industrial complex. After a while when things run dry they give the narrative a new spin, which greenlights new weaponry, and whaddayaknow, another half a trillion or so goes around for all the fat cats to eat off. It's an infinite money glitch.

Almost everything you see on tv is a puppet show. There they will tell that W and X will happen, but behind closed doors they really agree on Y and Z.
The worst thing of this all is that this happens over the back of mostly the Ukrainian citizens, and also some Russian ones...

Oh I like this. Looks like Starmer isn't quite the sucker with Trump that it looks like he is.

According to the Telegraph, Mr Trump is expected not to visit Buckingham Palace or enjoy a ceremonial carriage ride down the Mall in London, which have often been prominent features of state visits from other world leaders.

The decision came amid concerns there could be objections from both the public and MPs following calls for Mr Trump to be blocked from addressing parliament earlier this year, with MPs and peers warning the US president “does not respect democracy”.

Yeah, I'd object to it alright. I don't want him here at all, in fact.

Pretty sure different news sources pretty much copy-paste article content from each other - I may be wrong? I’ve also always wondered about copyright concerns in relation to this. Or maybe the editor works for all the news sources?

 

[Retro]

They don't always copy paste. Just have a look at it and decide if you want to quote it, there's no hard and fast to this.

Don't worry about copyright, since there's no violation to linking to an article and / or quoting parts of it and then commenting on it. It's what forums are all about.

Sorry for my lack of clarity Retro - just to clarify, I’m not worried about breaking rules here. I’m just genuinely curious about news sources violating copyright copying and pasting content off each other? They supposedly have a license to do so however, or use the same editor?

I sometimes confuse ppl by rambling off on some irrelevant tangent

The fact that that parliament isn't sitting for much of September could help resolve a potentially awkward issue.

No, they don't need a license as long as they rewrite the source article in their own words and link to it. They could make a mishmash of two or more articles along with their analysis and / or opinion on the story.

You've quoted the whole post. Look at the email I sent to all members about this practice and the resource it linked to. Please don't do it again.

All members: please be mindful of server storage space when posting

Most people post on forums as if server storage space is unlimited and costs for it are fixed as they're not the ones paying the bills, but unfortunately neither of these are true. What is true, is that the number of posts and hence storage space...

OK, thanks for the notification, @Retro . I have to admit I’d read the thread but not the full resource, as I assumed the issue was about quoting large posts. Well I now understand the quote wasn’t necessary as the context is clear. .

Also, I was about to edit my post prior to reading the resource, so it’s a good thing I didn’t as that would just add another post and so storage space used!

While I get the impression that you hate taking extreme measures like bans, whether temporary or permanent, I know of someone who got banned for 7 days for posting many posts in a short space of time, and he never returned, take that as you will. But please let me know if I

 

[Retro]

I never banned anyone for posting a lot. You must be thinking of somewhere else.

Also, I never said you can't edit your posts. Perhaps have another read and ask any questions in the resource thread if you need to.
