What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

"I mean anyone who voted for Biden but now worries about his cognitive decline deserves everything they get. It was plain as day on the campaign trail that he had lost his marbles. I'd love to know what combination of drugs they gave him to get him through the debates because it worked and he wasn't embarrassed."

Right so. You've gone from defending trump because of his policies to swallowing garbage debunked regularly on its very own thread here.

Is there no one that can debate and defend his achievements or otherwise?

What're you referring to? Something that Trump might've said at the UN? And, as the WaPo pointed out, actions speak louder than words. Especially in the case of Trump.

If you think trump is a friend of the gay community, you need your head examined.

That, wasn’t what I was getting at, but sure. If I was trying to spin it like that, I wouldn’t have disclosed it was delivered as a joke. But I guess I also must acknowledge, some people would also read that and just think ‘TL;DR’

By all means be the change you want to see 🤛 while still living in the reality we actually live in, based on like facts and stuff incl. hate crime statistics.

How is how a hate crime gets defined, subjective, and if it is subjective, what approach should be taken to write hate crime laws?

Hate Crime Acts: 18 US Code § 249.

The POTUS also just signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Law, for a fresh example. This is an amendment to 249 to include the offenses of (5) LYNCHING and (6) OTHER [hate crime] CONSPIRACIES. The bill is H.R. 55 Emmett Till Antilynching Act, 117th Congress.

Just to restate this once again - proponents of Trump and the idea of the stolen election know that they cannot actually prove anything in court because they have no actual evidence. So, what they are doing instead is restrict voting laws at a state level and get pro-Trump people into lesser office country-wide or at least in purple states. Trump and the whole stop the steal thing are just useful idiots in the project. They just help keep the anger simmering, which help get the right people in these key offices.

Republicans - cancel culture is all democrats do...

Also republicans..

There is literally no other reason for following Trump. They may pretend to engage or concern-troll, but every single argument from them has to be taken as disingenuous.

And that is why I would never seriously debate with any Trumper and especially never one of those "I'm absolutely, totally *not* a Trump fan, but!" trolls. They are the worst.

What happened truth social?

I believe it was a failure from launch, iirc, the TLDR is they launched a social media platform, marketed it on being 100% censorship free, and then the internet immediately responded in kind by flooding it with pornography. Right away, they had to walk back their marketing. And for most of his supporters who won't accept any censorship etc. this was too much to handle.

Probably not as easy to do when even Republicans on that panel can lead you into a question that is designed to still give them insights if you plead the 5th to it. Pleading the 5th incessantly in an illogical manner AFAIK (IANAL) is basically the legal equivalent of Failure To Appear, and can be grounds for Contempt charges, which, this House would certainly pass. Witnesses also have to be really careful (if they're lying) that they navigate the waters between, their 5th Amendment Rights, and claiming something is covered by Executive Privilege, as mixing those 2 up often enough leads investigators to believe you are criminally conspiring with POTUS.

Peter Navarro for example is being charged with Contempt after asserting the subject matter was covered by Executive Privilege, and could not be declassified. The problem is, Navarro already told Fox/OAN viewers his whole sob story about the election, and about the Green Bay Sweep, etc. so, even if Trump's team had competently retained their executive privilege up to that point, Navarro threw that privilege out the window with the bath water when he went on national television. Navarro thought he could get away with just saying all that in public, not have to be subject to perjury for it, never have to back up his claims with receipts or anything.
