    He can propose whatever he wants but the failure to deploy the national guard was trump's decision... Why is it that trump supporters just always move rapidly into the world of conspiracy theories?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 37,414 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    So he doesn't have evidence of anything, and it mostly boils down to the Intelligence Agencies (under Trump's control) not providing them with the information in enough time, and not being able to get the National Guard (which Trump has to authorise).

    Maybe the reason the "critical minds" here aren't talking about it is because this was already fully established as part of the Jan 6th hearings.

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist but .....

    It's all they have. The only other alternative would be to believe that Donald is not telling the truth. And we all know that's not going to happen. So the only option is to go down the Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn route.

    In essence, Donald Trump is comparing the Holocaust, which is one of the greatest crimes in human history, to his being held accountable in a court of law where he will be allowed a robust defense and his civil and human rights respected. To distort and minimize the realities of the Holocaust is itself an act of antisemitism. That Donald Trump, a man who as president said that the neoNazis who rampaged across Charlottesville in 2017 are "very fine people," would invoke the Holocaust makes his most recent antisemitic behavior even more disturbing and gross.

    Thats some leap especially when a brief search of the writers previous articles show him throwing the word Nazi around very frequently.

    Everyone is a Nazi nowadays it would seem.

    DeVega seems like another one of these BLM grifters, someone who sees racism in everything.

    “Could there possibly be actually … they kind of wanted something to happen? It’s not a far stretch to begin to think that. It’s sad when you start putting everything together and thinking about the way this played out … what was their end goal?”

    Statements like that can be filed in the same waste basket as

    • 'Many people say......'
    • 'I've heard......'
    • 'They're telling me......'

    Weak wishy washy statements that are vague enough so the person using them cannot be accused of lying but are clung to by people praying that they are true.

    You forget, we've been watching Trump for 7 years now.

    Did you miss this official statement from Trump campaign?

    These persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes.

    Everyone is a Nazi these days.

    Grifters eh? Trump is the grifter in chief.

    One constitutional crisis question: Does Trump have a pocket pardon where he pardoned himself for all federal crimes he allegedly committed from birth to 20 January 2021?

    While somewhat amusing, it really is quite depressing. If these social media posts were from a 3rd world junta/dictatorship where english was not the 1st language it might seem somewhat understandable if still appalling.

    But these ramblings are from the recent and possibly future ‘leader of the free world’ and not some lunatic from Niger or N Korea.

    It’s like a far fetched dystopian movie plot like you would see in Mad Max or ‘the Running Man’ but in a depressing slow motion car crash reality.

    I can get why people can still maintain republican/GOP loyalty and values while remaining decent people and of course there is plenty to be disgusted about on the Democratic Party side. However, conservative or not (and I’m fairly conservative/centre right etc) to not be ashamed and disgusted with Trump’s carry on and maintain you are a ‘reasonable adult’ requires either serious cognitive dissonance…or to be a massive c&nt.

    I would have thought that in order to be pardoned of a crime, you'd have to be found guilty of it first. Otherwise, what are you being pardoned from? What you are describing sounds more like trying to make oneself immune from prosecution or at least immune from criminal liability. Pretty sure a sitting POTUS can't do that. Failing all else, it sounds like an admission of guilt - "All crimes I may or may not have committed in office have now been absolved. Alakazam!"

    You may have missed the point I made. Like Mr Trump you are talking about what you perceived was said, not what was said. Trump and Co are selling the "anti woke agenda", telling the people that the left want to remove their right to pray, bear arms and have any opinion of their own. Until the Democrats defeat the narrative instead of the Narrator this will continue ad nauseum. Are you trying to say that all the liberal ideas are great? Your examples are fine, Teaching people about sexuality, consent, the history of the country, the need to protect the environment, treating people looking for a better life compassionately, the value of scientific process, long term sustainable societies and so on are great but that is not what the right is telling its followers the agenda is.

    Trump is an indicator of a large mindset in America and trying to deny it is complete and utter nonsense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,021 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    And overwhelming amount of Americans want federal gun control of some kind, why do you think the legislation cannot be passed?

    Talking about missing the point, from my original post.

    Any semblance of what might be classed as a 'Woke Agenda' has been contrived within the mindset of Conservatives smart enough to know they have zero meaningful policies by which to appeal to people. There's a reason they've won about 1 popular vote at Presidential elections in the last 30 years. The conservative ideology is failing on its feet unless it is given booster shots every couple of months through the creation of fantasy narratives of their mouthpieces.

    I don't care who the messenger is, whether it is Trump, Tucker Carlson, Michael Graham, Steve Bannon, Ann Coulter, Jesse Waters, Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Rupert Murdoch.

    Conservative ideas are largely pushed downward whereas, generally speaking liberal ideas are adopted upward.

    Defending Trump by calling him a narcissist who lied about winning the 2020 election but that isn't against the constitution so he didn't do anything illegal in Fox's view.

    Rupert Murdoch still hedging for his bets with Trump.

    This is how a Supreme Court judge should conduct themselves;

    In an opinion article published today in the Washington PostMargaret McMullan, an organizer of the Mississippi Book Festival, published her account of inviting Sotomayor to speak in 2019 – noting that the justice turned down a modest stipend and didn’t seem that interested in selling her book:

    Subsequent emails and phone conversations were similar. No, Le said, the justice did not need us to provide lunch or dinner. No, she could not accept the $250 stipend.

    Did Le urge me to buy more books? No. She did ask whether we wanted any of the copies of “My Beloved World” to be in Spanish. In fact, we did, and I hadn’t thought to order them.

    When Sotomayor came to Jackson, we had her speaking in the sanctuary at Galloway Memorial United Methodist Church, the church where Eudora Welty once worshiped. Backstage, Sotomayor smiled when she saw my clipboard of questions. She helped me with my tote bag full of books. She then clapped her hands together and said something like, “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do.”

    In addition to our planned onstage interview, she said, she wanted the freedom to go off-script. “They’re children,” I recall her saying. “I want to be sure I get to their questions.”

    “Perfect,” I said.

    She concludes:

    There very well might be a culture of poor ethical conduct in the Supreme Court, but there is no moral equivalency between justices accepting rides on private jets to vacation with friends who had cases before the court and Sotomayor talking about her books and her life to a crowd of mesmerized young readers.

    The standard royalty rate for authors is less than 10 percent of the sales price. I don’t know anything about Sotomayor’s deal with her publishers, but 10 percent would make her cut of the 1,500 books our foundation purchased approximately $2,250 — for which she had to fly to Mississippi and give two presentations. During the hottest month of the year.

    Was that a bribe? You be the judge.

    Hope so and they put a gag order on that court proceedings. More charges also from Georgia.

    More!

    I try not to share stuff from overly left-wing media channels but this is quite priceless. He's rambling on and on about showers and water pressure. And they say Biden is losing it.
