The Trump thread

[Retro]

Jessica Denson is doing a great job in exposing vote rigging with her channel. This video, one of the shorter ones (they can be over an hour long) focuses on suspicious events and vote results in Pennsylvania.

She's also an activist in grass roots resistance against this illegitimate government. Not sure if it will go anywhere, but it's gotta start somewhere and I think better than just doing nothing about it. I wonder how long until Trump's jaundiced eye notices her and starts trying underhand methods to shut her down. This isn't a conspiracy theory as he's already doing it to Brian Tyler Cohen and David Pakman, to name just two.

Honestly, Jessica Denson is no different than the idiots on the right that were trying to make it into a bid deal. The only difference is the side of the political aisle that is buying into the BS.
Is the right trying to game the system? Yep. But when the left is in power they do the same thing. So it is basically Same Story Different Day.

 

[Retro]

No, she's not an idiot.

I realize that the idiots want to ignore the messenger. But the facts remain facts. I'm sorry if they may butt-hurt you... but facts will always remain so. Fantasy is for idiots (MAGA supporters feel free to deep dive into that pool of poo) and you cannot argue that point, even en your fantasy land of "Trump rulez".

I'd appreciate less of that attitude when talking to me, thankyou.

I'll look at your video when I get a moment. Please look at my one and you'll see how suspicious it looks in Pennsylvania what with all those bomb threats and other stuff.

 

[Astro What]

No, she's not an idiot.

The "idiot" point was that there were those on the right that made it sound/look good also. But when you started digging into the weeds, issues with their "facts" started jumping in the way. I've watched several of her spiels.
There are people that make their living off conspiracy theories.

@Astro What Ok, I've watched some of that MSNB video which goes into great detail over those security leaks that have been reported over here, too. Yeah, why am I not surprised? I didn't know that during Trump's first term, he'd invited high ranking Kremlin officials to the White House and told them lots of juicy classified details. If that's not the work of a Russian asset, then I dunno what is. The only other potential reason would be that he's a monumental idiot. tbh, I wouldn't put that past him either, but I like the first option better as he's clearly got a criminally wily mind which he's demonstrated countless times now. That "iconic" power punch he did when he got shot is a classic example of it.

We're just gonna have to disagree on Jessica Denson and election rigging. As an ex cop who's suspicious by nature courtesy of the job and rightly so, I don't understand why you don't smell a rat here, even if you think that she's just a conspiracy theorist spinning stories, things just don't sit right. I'm talking provable facts here that have been reported widely in the news are just suspicious af how can you not see that things surrounding that election need investigation?

I've never heard of Democratic vote rigging and if there was, you simply can't compare it to the lengths that Trump is willing to do to acquire and maintain power no matter what. With millions of his idiot, gullible MAGA followers following their cult leader and making the result close, and a little help from his Russian puppet masters to help push votes over the line, this is where we now find ourselves, with this orange disaster in power and our nice, comfortable, Western democracy threatened from within. I'm talking all Western democratic countries here, not just America. It's not a stretch to say that he's destabilising the world and the worst is yet to come. Wouldn't surprise me if this idiot starts a war with Greenland or Canada. Something unheard of with any normal president, no matter how corrupt.

btw, did you know that Jessica Denson is / was an actress? She's had a very short career and nothing since 2015, so most people wouldn't know about this.

Oh, bloody hell, I've just seen this! What was I just saying about Trump destabilising the world?

Airbus chair René Obermann says Putin may seize a moment of weakness in the U.S.-Europe alliance to build a strategic land bridge via the Suwałki Gap, which connects the Russian ethnic enclave of Kaliningrad to its client state of Belarus.

Emboldened by the Trump administration’s split with Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin may be preparing to directly test the resolve of the postwar Western military alliance.

In an interview with German business daily Handelsblatt, the chairman of European aerospace and defense group Airbus warned the continent needs to arm itself now that it’s likely the United States will not honor its obligations under NATO’s Article 5 common defense clause.

And now there's news that Trump is trying to change the election process at its core by issuing executive orders, raising constitutional questions. Again, why am I not surprised? By the time he's done with America, it's gonna be unrecognizable.

President Donald Trump's executive order demanding sweeping changes to US elections has the potential to significantly reshape the voting process, despite likely legal challenges.

The order's broad scope raises fundamental questions about presidential authority over elections, traditionally a domain of state control.

The order mandates proof of US citizenship for federal election registration, restricts ballot counting to those received by Election Day, introduces new voting equipment regulations, and bans certain donations from non-citizens.

These directives challenge the established balance of power between federal and state governments in managing elections, raising constitutional concerns.

Can the President unilaterally impose these changes, given the Constitution's broad delegation of election procedures to individual states?

Now it turns out that America can effectively switch off our nuclear deterrent! This is critical at a time when Trump has put America on Putin's side rather than its allies'.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently boarded one of the UK’s four nuclear-armed submarines for a photo call as part of his attempts to demonstrate the UK’s defence capabilities as tensions with Russia continue.

However, Starmer faces a problem. The submarine, and the rest of the UK’s nuclear fleet, is heavily reliant on the US as an operating partner. And at a time when the US becomes an increasingly unreliable partner under the leadership of an entirely transactional president, this is not ideal. The US can, if it chooses, effectively switch off the UK’s nuclear deterrent.

Looks like the seeds of Trump's downfall are being sown, so if they come to fruition, there will be no third term for this illegitimate president.

I'll believe it when I see it, but still, it's better than nothing.

If one had any doubts at all that Trump intends to run for a third term, this BTC video will dispel them. Again, I can only hope that the grim reaper will get him before he does this.

If this catchy, tuneful disco tune from 2020 sounds oddly familiar, it's because it samples Spacer from 1979, below. Check out the video description for why it was filmed in lots of empty venues.

Also, this song is a cover of another by Alcazar, released in 2000 which also sampled Spacer. I think Sophie's is the better version, much smoother sounding.

Just look at the garbage that Trump is trying to foist on the UK to get lower tariffs.

The US argues that washing meat in chemicals reduces the risk from pathogens such as salmonella, while Europeans more typically say higher hygiene standards throughout the meat processing are preferable to cleaning up cuts with a chlorine rinse.

Tom Bradshaw, president of the National Farmers’ Union, warned the Government last week against loosening the rules to placate Mr Trump.

“Absolutely no one wants to see hormone-treated beef, or pork or chicken treated with anti-microbial washes – which are banned here in the UK – sold on our market,” he said. “Those ways of production were banned in the 1980s and 90s for a reason.”

So, massive tariffs for the whole world - except Russia. Funny that, isn't it?

Why did Russia escape Trump’s tariffs?

The U.S. already imposes heavy sanctions on Russia but still did approximately $3.5 billion in trade last year

Ford's FU to Trump?
In the mean time.. the rest of the world may be leaning towards the power of boycotts?
I really hope that they have the balls to say the ultimate FU to Trump and not decide to negotiate with him. In the long term... if they would stand upon principle, the US public would realize how idiotic Trump is and how much he really does NOT know how the world works.

Excellent former president Barack Obama is normally quite reserved and doesn't comment much on Trump, but even he's had enough of this charlatan's antics and has decided to hit out with some stinging criticism:

Barack Obama has had enough.

The two-term former president of the United States has watched the White House chaos from afar and, suffice to say, he’s not happy. In a Thursday appearance at Hamilton College in upstate New York, Obama criticized President Donald Trump’s attempts to slash the federal government, deport protesters, crack down on immigration, and silence the free press.

“It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors,” he said.

Damn, why can't we just push Trump out and give Obama a third term? Wishful thinking, sigh.

I've long considered Trump to be a psychopath (an extremely narcissistic one at that) and there's no better example of this than these two things he's done.

Since when do children and pregnant women need to be healthy?!

Multiple maternal and child health programs have been eliminated or hollowed out as part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) layoffs, prompting alarm and disbelief among advocates working to make Americans healthier.

The fear and anxiety come as a full accounting of the cuts remains elusive. Federal health officials have released only broad descriptions of changes to be made, rather than a detailed accounting of the programs and departments being eviscerated.

“Pediatricians, myself included, are losing sleep at night – worried about the health of the nation’s children,” said Dr Sue Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Myanmar ravaged by earthquakes? Its population needing all the physical and financial support that they can get? Nah, fuck that, slap the highest tariffs on them and make it even harder for them!!

Developing nations in south-east Asia, including wartorn and earthquake-hit Myanmar, and several African nations are among the trading partners facing the highest tariffs set by Donald Trump.

Upending decades of US trade policy and threatening to unleash a global trade war, the US president announced a raft of tariffs on Wednesday that he said were designed to stop the US economy from being “cheated”.

“This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history,” said Trump on Wednesday. “It’s our declaration of economic independence.”

He hailed the moment as “liberation day”, but the tariffs are likely to be met with loud protests from some of the world’s weakest economies. One expert said Trump was likely to be targeting countries that received investment from China, regardless of the situation in that country. Chinese manufacturers have previously relocated to countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia not only due to lower operating costs, but also to avoid tariffs.

The tariffs come as many countries in south-east Asia are already grappling with the fallout from the cuts to USAID, which provides humanitarian assistance to a region vulnerable to natural disasters and support for pro-democracy activists battling repressive regimes.
