Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning added to OP 10/1/26

I want to see how CFTrump handles the JE files accusation..

He has to take a defamation case if he wants to clear his name, if not, he looks guilty

If he takes the case, surely the files finally have to be opened in court as evidence for all to see

Or he can just open the files to everyone

@Quin_Dub: You're right on if the Big Beautiful Bill would have to revert to the House for a second vote if Senators made changes to it while it was being debated and then voted in the Senate. This from an article in The Independent 10 hours ago.

Trump has faced challenges getting the bill through Congress. It narrowly passed in the House in May, and The Hill reported Thursday that it is “losing momentum” in the Senate. If the Senate makes any changes to the House-passed bill, as expected, the House will need to vote again on the legislation.

On Tuesday, Greene admitted in an X post that she didn’t read the full text of the bill, missing a section that “strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years.”

“I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there,” she wrote, adding, “This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.”

Greene went even further with her opposition to the bill on Thursday, saying she will not support it when it comes back to the House for another vote.

“When it comes to AI and regulation, when we get to vote on this bill again, I will be voting no because of this clause,” she said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, The Hill reported Thursday.

I'd say give it a week and their relationship will be back on track

I burst my sides laughing at that quote. It's like two toddlers fighting over a soother.

All jokes aside, it would be highly advisable for Musk to get out of the USA now. Trump is an absolute lunatic with a lot of power.

Remember Germany in the mid 1930s, there were a lot of opposition voices, and then suddenly there weren't so many.

Oh the irony of Trump's comments comparing the situation between Russia and Ukraine to a fight between schoolboys.

I also heard him cringeworthily suggest to Merz, who had to remind him of the significance of June 6th, that "Oh yeah, D-day was a bad day for ye guys" before Merz explained to him that actually it was the start of liberating Germany from the spell and scourge of Nazism.

Another beautiful irony there, one would hope, for a man so ignorant of history, that we are witnessing history repeating itself with the beginning of the end…

We can but hope
