The Trump thread

[AllThingsTech]

Oops, as for the ban, I thought I said somewhere else in that same post, please excuse my negligence I cited this because you teased me about breaking your server with lots of posts in a DM, and I hadn’t taken you seriously at the time. And you haven’t made any threats here either, just a polite request

And no, you didn’t say I can’t edit my post, but you said that if a moderator edits my post, it will just add another post due to XF tracking posting history. I assume the same applies when members edit their own posts? If I edit my post to remain compliant, it will increase rather than reduce storage space used. No point in editing posts to reduce server space used as edits will only increase server space used even if post length is reduced?

Please continue this in the resource thread. Just copy and paste the text into a post there and I'll reply later.

Well, would you look at that? Turns out that Putin has played Trump like a violin. Whoda thunk it?!

Vladimir Putin has “played Donald Trump like a violin” over Ukraine, according to a former British intelligence boss.

Sir Alex Younger, who was the head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020, said the Russian president is going to make his US counterpart “look like a Muppet” by continuing to bomb its neighbour.

Trump is officially sidelined. So embarrassing, lol. You can be sure Trump won't like this.

Is there a better example of the Streisand Effect than this Epstein case? It may very well be the biggest coverup of the decade.

His behavior around this is just bizarre. It basically went from:
>We will publish the Epstein files
to
>We need some time to redact the files to protect the innocent
to
>We will not publicize the files
to
>There are no Epstein files, stop asking about it!!

Say what you want about Elon Musk, that dude also has his own issues, but Musk did well publicly calling out Trump for being on the list, a bold move. Ever since Trump is just losing it. From reasonably poker faced to quite panicky in a matter of weeks. That tweet in my previous post, though absurd, is real. It's just four words. But those four words, in all-caps, say everything.

I hope it bites him in the ass. Would be great if it was his downfall. That man is so seriously corrupt.

I hope it bites him in the ass.

I think it is becoming inevitable. But it won't just bite him in the ass, lots of other big names as well. I talked about it before, but once those files drop, it is going to be, as @live627 is pointing out, the uncovering of the biggest coverup of the decade, possibly the century. Republicans, Democrats, the entire American political system, nuked, just like that. Actors, singers, all of Hollywood, nuked, just like that. CEOs, Fortune 500, the fucking economy, nuked, just like that.
Lots of people involved are shitting their pants right now. With Trump, as of this moment, being seen as the face of it all.

I sure hope so. It's going to make Watergate look like a storm in a teacup.

 

[live627]

The first time I heard of this case a few years ago, it seemed like a huge deal that would never be fully resolved. I was always of the opinion that the files would never ever be released. Now, never is multiplied.

 

[Retro]

Now, never is multiplied.

Awww don't say that. I haz a sad.

 

[live627]

I has a sad, too. Therefore, I hope I'm wrong. Show us the files! Entertain us! Bring justice to the victims! Prosecute the perpetrators!

Trump issues toothless threat to Russia that's sure to make his Putin master quake in his boots. Here's two stories on this, for slightly different perspectives on this issue.

Trump does deal with Nato allies to arm Ukraine and warns Russia of severe sanctions

US president says he will supply billions of dollars of military equipment paid for by European allies

www.theguardian.com

Trump threatens Russia with tariffs while unveiling new Ukraine weapons plan

Under the new plan, the US will sell weapons to Nato countries who will send them to Ukraine.

No no, Trump has never been fooled by Putin. Sure.

The contradictory stories come as Trump, finally, announces new sanctions to counter Russia and more military aid to Ukraine.
