    If people become apathetic in their opposition toward a candidate who's under multiple indictments and incited a riot at the US Capitol, do you really think that warnings about Project 2025 will make much difference? I fear it won't.

    This is the 'flood the zone with shít' strategy in full effect.

    Mental institutions and prison, two places Trump supporters would be familiar with



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,412 ✭✭✭PropJoe10


    Hopefully Trump will be familiar with them soon as well.

    I wonder does he believe if his mother from the Outer Hebrides and his two Bavarian grandparents poisoned the blood of the country when they emigrated to the US?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,288 ✭✭✭✭Water John


    The Navajo certainly would agree.

    Of course not

    The concern isn't White Europeans, it's those pesky black/brown/yellow skinned ones they hate.

    He's scum and anyone that suggests that he should be re-elected is no better.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,109 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Pro Trump cunts will re-elect him no matter what, because they're...well...cunts.

    But worse than them are the dyed in the wool Republican voters who'll hold their nose and vote for him regardless of the blatantly racist rhetoric he spouts.

    Unless, of course, you're the leader of the US Republican party.

    They're perfectly fine with it.

    As does, terrifyingly so it looks, the majority of American voters, according to the polls.

    The Evangelicals, via Trump, will destroy America if he gets a second term. I can only hope they destroy America completely before they decide they need to launch a holy war on the rest of the world.

    America being "destroyed" would be catastrophic for world peace, despite the harm American intervention might have caused down the years: the Israeli conflict would be full on regional; Taiwan would be invaded; Korea might kick off; even Northern Ireland could spiral without the GFA guarantor present; and god knows how many other local conflicts would erupt without the threat of American carriers and bombers being deployed as a consequence. Any holy war a Gilead America would conduct might be across the ashes of the what came after it fell.

    And that's before you even got into the economic fallout of a fragmented, fundamentalist or authoritarian America. If it stayed outward looking them many nations might hold their nose - but if it turned fully isolationist, or conducted punitive trade deals? We'd suffer economically before any geopolitical or exsitential effects were felt.

    It seems likely that the majority of the Republican voters will just hold their nose when it comes to the stuff that Trump says and does, and vote for him in the hope that he can make whatever changes to the US economy and immigration that they feel will improve their lives.

    As usual, its the independent voter in the swing states that will decide this election, along with Democrat voters being motivated to turn out for Biden. The Dems have a problem with Biden, he's actually done a decent job domestically as President but he's very old and I think its fair to be concerned that he won't last for a full second term. Its too late to replace him on the ballot now really, so if I was on the Biden team, I'd make sure to be absolutely hammering Trump in the media on his shoddy record in his first term, and all the absolutely disgusting things he's saying currently in the media.

    If that doesn't do the trick and Trump wins, the Americans will deserve all the carnage that will come along with that. I have no sympathy whatsoever for them.

    If it became as isolationist as Trump would like there would not be much chance of American 'peacekeeping' intervention.

    The Florida GOP have cut Christian Ziegler loose. They have cut his salary to $1 and made clear he does not speak for the party.

    What's very interesting, is that a spox for the Florida GOP have made clear that whilst Ziegler is fully entitled to due process, that being under the shadow of the accusations and investigation were incompatible with leading the party in FL.

    It seems that to be a rapist and under criminal indictment & civil litigation only qualifies a FL resident for the Presidency 🤷‍♂️ it's a weird standard, but that's Florida.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,161 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Also, a thought has just struck me.

    Can we now just start referring to Trump as "Florida man"? Can Desantis and Himself have a scrap in a car park in Tallahassee with the winner moving forward to Super Tuesday🤔



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,343 ✭✭✭✭briany


    I think you need to bite someone's ear off to attain full Florida Man certification, but I'm not averse to the idea of Trump and DeSantis fighting in a car park. I don't think Trump could process being chinned. I don't think it's something anyone does well with, but Trump especially, it would be truly surreal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,383 ✭✭✭✭everlast75




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,343 ✭✭✭✭briany


    To be honest, it's not really funny unless someone like Giuliani gets a proper slap down, because if he can continue with what he's saying, then it points to a growing confidence among the Trump 'collective' that they won't face much punishment for treating the law with contempt. The last bulwark against MAGA is the law actually preventing them from spreading blatant lies.

    It's funny because he's so thick that $140m isn't a hard enough slap to make him behave, so he's going to receive more self-inflicted and pain.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,109 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    ...and I hope they win that one as well.

    These swines need be be stopped from spreading the same lies as soon as they leave the courthouse.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,412 ✭✭✭PropJoe10


    He's obviously very unwell mentally. A reporter told him a couple of days ago that there's no evidence that those ladies in Georgia tampered with votes and he said "oh there is, stay tuned". You'd have thought that an ideal time to break out this evidence would've been before he was found liable for $140m but no, apparently not for Rudy. What a guy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭amandstu


    Not funny that he is crapping on those two women's lives.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    Only following in his masters footsteps.

    Trump did essentially the same thing with E Jean Carroll - Lost the case then repeated the same defamation almost immediately resulting in him being sued a second time for more money.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 30,049 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Giuliani has nothing to lose. The 140m is already way more than he has so short of putting him in jail he might as well continue on with his views. I doubt he has seriously considered the fact that he could be jailed (are the US contempt of court laws the same as here?), after all the Boss gets away with it so why shouldn't he?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,848 ✭✭✭Rawr


    Indeed. However Giuliani doesn't have a Secret Service detail creating a logistical headache for the court. They would have a much easier time jailing him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,063 ✭✭✭roosterman71


    Anyone else think that Rudy and all the rest are spouting this stuff non stop, without fear, because they believe when DT gets back into the Oval Office he'll pardon the whole lot of them and sign an executive order or something saying they were right. Those 2 women, and all the rest could be in for an even more torrid time then



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,038 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Yeah, that's a pretty plausible theory. Kick the can down the road in appeals etc as long as possible in the hopes Trump gets into power and somehow manages to reverse or pardon. It's pretty much Trump's plan for himself anyway so makes sense that his acolytes are going to try hitch themselves to that as well rather than turn against him as some others have.

    They don't care, and never have cared, about the effects of their lies on people like Freeman & Moss. They only care about their own political and legal power.

    possible, but it's quite the risk.

    Another question might be, what, in the discovery which he refused to hand over, was so bad, that he would rather hold onto it and be walloped with that massive amount of damages.
