    trump cultists acting like the terrorists they are? Say it ain't so. People are even saying that they should drop charges against him even if they are true. The very definition of a terrorist. These are not patriots and not only failed insurrectionists. These are terrorists. Enemies of America.

    1 week to go before the first big debate and Trump is probably not gonna show up, too busy defending himself with a Mike Pillow Guy level presentation on this monday about how the election was rigged TM followed by submitting to or evading arrest by next friday. When will he have time to squeeze in debate prep

    He's not gonna show, trump's character sheet is Bully, and bullies don't show up to fights they know they will get their ass handed to them in, gosh imagine all the zingers on wednesday night would just be "Donald, don't you have to turn yourself into jail tomorrow?"

    MSNBC reveals scoop video of Roger Stone as early as November 5th (2 days after the election but 2 days before it was called by the media for Biden) plotting to overturn the election with fake electors

    Former Republican President Richard Nixon resigned and was immediately pardoned by his successor Republican Gerald Ford for all federal crimes he may have committed. Note that Nixon had not been indicted, charged, tried, convicted, or sentenced for alleged Watergate crimes.

    The constitutional question of a acting president pardoning himself is at issue. But a simple reading of the US Constitution suggests that it may be possible. And whether an acting president could secretly “pocket” pardon himself for any possible federal crimes that may have occurred from birth to the day he leaves office, and only disclosing it officially to avoid alleged criminal consequences may be a US Supreme Court decision.

    There had been a lot of news media talk about the possibility of Trump pardoning himself secretly (pocket pardon) before he left office on 20 January 2021.

    So my anecdotal guess is that he did this, and is just waiting to spring it on Americans just before the November 2024 general elections, if needed.

    Of course he cannot pardon himself for any alleged crimes at the state level (e.g., Georgia or NY). That may be why the named co-defendants in Georgia are trying to get this state case elevated to the federal level?

    Only underlining the reality that Trumpism isn't a political ideology - it's a cult. A cult of personality where somehow Donald J Trump has become some vulgar pinnacle for some Americans to latch onto. I suppose if I were white, completely uneducated and without any prospects whatsoever, Trump's brash showman energy might appeal.

    That tweet also delights in reminding that however batshít Trump's presence on the candidates' sheet is - watching DeSantis crash and burn has been a wonderful piece of schadenfreude. A craven bully, but one without charisma and so obsessed with "woke" (read, open racism, revisionism and homophobia) that he makes Trump look open minded. Delighted his shallow brand of misanthropy and historical denial is getting dumped.

    Aside from the millions of MAGA Trump cult personality voters, there anecdotally appears to be a large segment of both the Republican and Democrat Party voters that have family generational histories of always pushing the R or D button for all one sided partisan positions. Reminds me of American football team fans: My team no matter what. Always my team.

    While out on bail in the Mueller probe apparently...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,779 ✭✭✭Rawr


    Indeed

    This just made me ponder any attempt to "both-sides" the MAGA folk with other aspects of American politics. I don't seem to remember Clinton supporters sending death threats to any involved with investigating her. (Or in that Hunter Biden thing going on) Or expanding that death threat to include a large swaith of the other side if their canditate didn't win the election (which this nut-bag apparently also did)

    Can the "I don't like Trump, but..." people in this thread honestly defend MAGA when it eggs on extreemists, almost by design. Threatening violence or death onto your political opponents for not voting for your guy has a name, and despite one poster's rubbishing of this notion...that name is: Fascism.

    Of course they can and of course they will if they happily defend him of sexual assault they can defend MAGA

    It’s never anything to do with Trump or MAGA in general it just a few and both sides have a few is how they do it.

    Donald Trump has issued a statement over the past 24 hours, detailing the alleged corruption of the Biden family; referring to Biden as a "compromised" candidate who is sleepwalking the world into World War 3 through his mishandling of China and Russia.

    Seems that in this video, Trump is speaking to voters for the next election rather than ruminating on his upcoming trials.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,945 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    So basically going by the same rhetoric of lock her up... Meanwhile he's facing just under a 100 charges, many of which relate to subverting an election result. Charges against Joe Biden are meanwhile 0...


    And let's be realistic, he's only talking to the already converted who deny seriousness of charges.. Such as yourself.

    Did the rapist apologise to the victim of his depraved sexual assault? Or continue to defame her?

    Or would that 'compromise' him?

    Did he comment on the corruption court case he is facing, for misuse of campaign funds in paying hush money?

    Or would that 'compromise' him?

    Or was it just the standard Trumpster whataboutery drivel without evidence that doesn't stand up to a moment's scrutiny?

    To summarise :-

    Donald "The Rapist" Trump has issued a rambling stream of consciousness lacking a single shred of verifiable proof in a vain attempt to smear the President of the United States to try and deflect from the fact that HE is currently facing 91 charges (and counting) across 4 different jurisdictions in the US.

    Also likely hoping to deflect from the latest opinion polls showing that a majority of US Voters believe that the authorities are correct in seeking to charge him for his various alleged acts of criminality. Those same polls also show a sharp drop in his support among Republican voters with only 66% of them having a favourable view of him, a drop of over 9% points since the last polling.

    Biden as a "compromised" candidate who is sleepwalking the world into World War 3 through his mishandling of China and Russia

    Donald Trump is sleep-walking the US into autocracy. And is a former president who used insecure devices in the WH, and revealed classified info to Russian politicians. PEople in glass houses.

    Can’t go to war with Russia if you’re on the same side as Russia though.

    You can bet your last dollar that the accusations thrown at Biden are comparable to revelations we will discover about Trump.

    He is getting them out there first, so his people can both-sides it.

    Mark my ****ing words.

    If you haven't figured it out by now, I'll let you in n a secret.

    Trump is full of shít. It's well documented.

    You're welcome.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,781 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    Hypothetically speaking, what do ye think would happen if Trump defected to Russia?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,284 ✭✭✭✭everlast75




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,482 ✭✭✭TheIrishGrover


    His cultists would be perfectly happy. Remember the new motto: Better Red than Dem



  • Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    There's not a chance in hell that Donald Trump will defect to Russia.

    Trump isn't Edward Snowden with orange hair.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,946 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    They'd throw him back.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,915 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    You are correct - He's a fat Rapist who has spent a lifetime conning people out of money.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,482 ✭✭✭TheIrishGrover


    But on a similar note. I asked this before but heard no reply. All partisanship and hyperbole aside, what would/will be the response from his supporters when he dies. Let me be clear: I am NOT wishing any harm on him. Just that, like everyone, he will eventually die. He's not a young man or especially fit so it might not be a million years away.

    Typically current and former presidents and their wives attend. Assuming the Bidens, Obamas and Clintons and remaining Bushes are still alive, traditionally they would attend (Maybe not Doub-ya given his health). How would this go down with his supporters do you think?

    Would they be outraged by the Bidens, Obamas and Clintons turning up? ("Look at them politicking. Pretending to be sad. Disgusting" etc)

    Would they be outraged by the Bidens, Obamas and Clintons NOT turning up? ("Look at them not turning up. No respect. Disgusting" etc)

    Typically these politicians say nothing at these funerals (They all turned up for Nixon and were, unsurprisingly, mute). If Doub-ya or CLINTON died tomorrow, would he turn up? Would he be quiet and respectful? (Doubtful)

    Let's be honest, convicted rapist Donald Trump would be boasting about defecting days before heading to the airport only to end up getting arrested.
