Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

And in another episode of not even Nixon would do this/act this way. Above is Richard Nixon's letter to Jackie Kennedy after the assassination of JFK in November 1963.

According to a Washington Post interview with Senator Tommy Tuberville, the GOP lawmakers were already in a secure room when they decided to huddle in the closet. What they were seeking was not safety, but privacy, so they could plot their next move in light of the insurrection. For these senators, the original plan that day was to challenge the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory in several states, in support of Donald Trump’s baseless efforts to overturn the results.

But now that hundreds of violent marauders were demanding the same thing, the Republicans in the closet worried that solidarity with the mob might not be a good look.

“One thing that was brought up was that people were hurt,” Mr Tuberville said.

Besides, the senators knew they didn’t have the votes to stop Mr Biden from becoming president.

“Do we want to continue this,” Mr Tuberville remembered wondering, “if there’s not going to be a result we are looking for anyway?”

Looking at what the senator reportedly said in the interview, it seems to me that he was being very candid there. I cant help but think, seeing as it's printed in the W/Post, Trump won't like it one bit.

Would I be reading too much into it by thinking that the senator has thrown in the towel as far as Trump being a GOP candidate for 2024 is concerned and is splitting himself completely from Trump, or is it only as far as the present Capitol Riot mob court trials AND committee hearings are concerned?

Is he a lawmaker who has woken up and admitted the 2020 GOP strategy was wrong when it came to standing with Trump and his fake re-election rhetoric is concerned?

Concerning matters the first Trump presidential-election campaign [2016] and the election campaign of Ted Cruz, The AG for the DC area, Karl Racine, has tweeted that facebook majority shareholder Mark Zuckerberg has been attached to a privacy lawsuit against Facebook as Mr Zuckerberg was personally involved in deciding to allow Cambridge Analytica access to the personal data of up to 87 million Facebook members. The lawsuit was filed in 2018.

My irony meter just shattered into a thousand pieces.

Prepare for it to to be now ground down to dust

So his new America (YUUUHHH!!!) "TRUTH" site is part of Ynho g holdings (CHYNA)

Meanwhile Trump rants about how he is going to be taking on the auld demons in the "big tech" world

Meanwhile under the T&C's we have the below, is this another subscription service? Does anyone else see yet another Trump bankruptcy in the near future going by these?

And just to finish off your irony meter for the day, Donald J Trump, the bastion of free speech, the man who will take on big tech because the big meanies took away his Twitter will not let you have carte blanche to say what you want, oh no no no, they will ban you if you break those T&C's

And just when you thought it couldn't get any funnier

Surprised Donnie's cybersecurity advisor Rudy Giuliani wasn't able to prevent this hacking 🤔

One of the fund market players who had put forward funding to the media venture has reportedly withdrawn his offer made to the group behind the venture as he had not known the group and the venture was connected to Trump. He said he cancelled his involvement because Trump was connected to it.

On another matter related to Trump, Rudy Giuliani's associate Lev Parnas was found guilty today of all 6 criminal charges by the jury related to the secret movement of funds from Russia for Trumps campaign in the hope of getting the OK from US politicians to set up a weed business. Parnas may now face a civil lawsuit from the SEC in NYC which was put on hold while the criminal funds trial was ongoing.

Oh and in more lols rolling stone is reporting that the new social media has gone dark already because it’s violated it’s own software agreement. Amateurs Ted, complete cowboys.

It was 11:05pm and I missed the first five minutes but I’m recording it and I’m watching it now and it’s **** surreal because this lot genuinely believe the **** they are saying. It was nuts to see the TV coverage on that evening but to see footage I’ve never seen and interviews with the people who broke into the building, it’s a wonder this hadn’t happened before and you’d wonder what the future is for America because there’s a lot of people who have this alternative version of reality.

Give him a mike and he's unstoppable.

Oh there’s a protester who used an apprentice reference to say he got arrested and trump left and would say that trump was fired.

Also, how the hell can these people try to say it was peaceful. There’s **** video that shows CLEARLY it was anything but peaceful.

I'd say outrage is exactly what he's looking to provoke with a statement such as that. In essence, his strategy doesn't seem that much different from ISIS, which is to say, "Be crazy. Be chaotic. Polarise people.". His bitterness and irresponsibility have become old-hat, but what is interesting to me is that he is clearly no longer making overtures to the middle ground. At least in 2016, he was making quips about his opponents and sort of saying, "Hey, take a chance on me. It could be fun...", and he could do that because he was ultimately an unknown quantity. Now, in 2021, he's no longer an unknown quantity, and he's not even trying to reformulate his image or policy. He's just going farther and farther down that rabbit hole of mean-spirited paranoia. He's going all-in with the base and that makes me ask the question - is that just to milk them for cash, or is he really planning another run, and plans to do 'right' what his followers failed to do in January, if the election doesn't go his way?
