Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 06/06/25

I don't care about either the democrats or republicans, I don;t care about American politics in general.

I just find this nonsense from Hochul to be idiotic and decided to point it out as it won't be pointed out on this thread as it consists 99% of people who support the democrats and therefore this idiocy and hypocrisy won't be highlighted here whereas all the republicans idiocy and hypocrisy is probably pointed out here so need need to post any of that if it pops up on twitter for me.

You "dont care" but of all the stuff happening with American politics this is what leads you to post.

This is the one that lets you vent at a Democrat meanwhile when it comes to Trumps conduct which is objectively dangerous and idiotic... nothing. Including a claim that Trump did with the papal picture shouldnt be criticised. Backed up by exactly nothing.

Utterly unconvincing from start to finish.

Nope.

You did more than that - so you are already contradicting yourself in the space of a few posts. You claimed:

"there's loads of thing you can criticize Trump for this Pope picture isn't one of them."

Yet in multiple posts you havent backed that up. Because you cant.

So just a desperate attempt at excusing Trump and reaching for any excuse to lash out at a Democrat.

Meanwhile wheres the posts critical of the far worse and consequential hypocrisy from Trump, Vance and his sycophants.

You claimed to be concerned about hypocrisy didnt you?

You claimed not to be interested in US politics but this is what leads to a post? Yet seemingly for someone who claims not to be interested in US politics you claim to be familiar with the content of this thread. Which is about US politics. Another contradiction.

Wouldnt it be easier to drop the charade? Its not fooling anyone.

Of course it's offensive to Catholics, how is it not?

My gran is a devout Catholic and anti abortion. She was offended by this. Care to whatabout your way out of that?

I'd be more concerned about people who can't take a joke they're always the first people to be worried sbout in life in general.

Hundreds of thousands of Catholics in Ireland voted in favour of abortion a few years ago. How do you square that circle? Maybe people can be Catholic and think for themselves?

Religion is made up. Let people be offended by these types of things.

I think most people were shocked that any leader of a country could contemplate posting that picture. Religious folk may have also been offended by his getup.

Just think how far right you have to be to consider the Democrats 'Radical Left'.

100% tariffs on movies not made in the US now. This is mental stuff.

Would take a decade to have Alcatraz ready to be a prison. When I last visited 15 years ago the guide showed us where it was completely falling apart. This won't happen, the cost alone would make it much easier to just build 10 normal prisons.

Movie industry in the US will be dead if this 100% tariffs comes in.

Incredible how this guy seems to top himself on daily basis. What's tomorrow's plan, buy Ireland and turn whole place into Trump golf course...

Abortion is legal in every US state (though some with draconian restrictions to make it effectively illegal.) NY State (I think) was the first to legalize it post-Roe. She's perfectly fine to state her opinion.

Even the Catholic Church in the US has weakly said things against CFTrump's latest grotesquerie, and plenty of US Catholics are pro-choice.

But you miss the important point: Trump never jokes, he's said so himself repeatedly. He's thinking he's floating a balloon, which is proving to be unpopular.

Plus he's so blindingly stupid, like his supporters, that he doesn't even realize he has no chance at the job. "Can't fault a guy for trying, can you?"

Who knew I'd discover a brand new facial expression in my late 30s.

Erm, you realise plenty of Ireland is Catholic but equally supported repeal? The reality is plenty of Catholics are pro choice and that should be something you're well aware of.

In terms of a dignitary making a "joke" after the leader of a world religion died that's in incredibly poor taste. It's more just one of the low level examples of why he is entirely unsuitable for the role of president cause he can't conduct himself appropriately. Somehow making this about the Democrats being at fault is a leap.

The Trump fans seem to be incapable of criticising anything he does….
