Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Yes that was the point I was making, being born abroad isn't a disqualifier on it's own.

Mamdani's mother didn't become a citizen until 2006

This is by far the worst scenario do you think the Republicans will suddenly start playing by the rules again? If you think it's a sh*tshow now see where we are after 7/8 more years of them ffs.

The closure of Hormuz hits the US arguably less than Europe or the far East (at least the US does not have physical shortages). So Europe, and Asian countries should get together and negotiate a free passage through Hormuz with Iran, making it clear that they are not the enemy. At the same time European countries should all deny US use of bases for middle East operations. What are they afraid of? The US quitting NATO? Under the Orange Turd they have effectively quit anyhow, judging by the said Turd's behaviour.

I doubt it'll come to that. Even if they won 51 seats (which I don't expect), one of them is Fetterman. Then they're down to 50 and Vance has the casting vote.

And totally off topic, Barron was born in 2005 and Mammy Melania did not become a citizen until 2006

U.S politics is definitely weird. Mr William Forbes, a pastor and anti-abortionist, is [according to media reports] allegedly running as a Democrat for a Nebraska State senate seat. He claims that he is a lifelong Democrat, that he last supported a Demcrat president when JFK was in office and voted for Trump. It seems both Democrat and Republican parties are denying anything to do with Mr Forbes try for candidacy.

France has joined Italy and Spain in denying use of its territory by U.S military aircraft connected to the U.S war efforts on Iran. Expect more damnations coming from the trump Admin team tonight, especially from Hegseth. Where the denial of airspace is concerned, the U.S has used non-military aircraft for the transfer of aid-in-kind to U.S military operations abroad, especially for Para-Military [deniable] operations. I expect the Irish Govt is hoping no one makes reference to Shannon airport in respect to U.S flights and the war on Iran.

Really diaappointing that the UK is not taking the same line as France, Italy and Spain, and that they have not had the courage to find an excuse to call off King Charles' State visit. I don't know who Starmer fears most: Trump, Farage, the Daily Mail or the Telegraph.

He's clearly a GOP troll. The Dems are supporting an Independent called Dan Osborn who actually has a chance of flipping the seat. This pastor is just designed to cause confusion in a tight race. To complicate matters further, the Dems nominated another candidate to defeat Forbes in the primary and put him out of the race, and the GOP then tried to have her excluded as she admitted that if she won she would then withdraw and support Osborn. The last I heard the State Supreme Court had ordered her to be reinstated on the ballot.

A man pardoned by President Donald Trump for his actions on Jan. 6 has been sentenced for possessing more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos discovered in connection with his Capitol riot case.

Daniel Tocci was sentenced to four years in prison by U.S. District Judge Mark G. Mastroianni of the District of Massachusetts after he pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, according to a Justice Department news release Monday that made no mention of the Jan. 6 link. Tocci had been set to go to trial in the Jan. 6 case early last year, but it was dismissed after Trump granted mass clemency to roughly 1,500 defendants tied to the attack on the Capitol.

Federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo in the child pornography case that, in addition to the child sex abuse material, Tocci's laptop "contained extremely disturbing images of violent acts, such as a cat being killed by being put in a blender, a male shooting a female in the head, a dog being beaten to death, and severed heads and limbs, as well as images and videos of bestiality.”

Before he pleaded guilty in September, Tocci's attorney had argued for the dismissal of the child sexual abuse material case because “all the evidence" stemmed from the pardoned Jan. 6 case.

"The case against Mr. Tocci must be dismissed because the entirety of the evidence stems from a warrant that, according to President Trump, should never have issued," Tocci's attorney wrote in July. "President Trump recognized the ongoing nature of the injustice against Mr. Tocci, as the investigation took place over the course of four years, and the instant case is still being prosecuted."

The Justice Department did not respond to the motion before Tocci's attorney withdrew it ahead of a plea hearing.

During Trump's second term, the Justice Department has taken different approaches to whether evidence seized in the course of Jan. 6 investigations can be used to prosecute other crimes, arguing that gun crime cases should be dismissed but not child pornography cases like Tocci's. Last year, Trump re-pardoned Jan. 6 defendant Dan Wilson over a gun case that stemmed from his Capitol siege case.

The political scene in America is at times, scary, revolting, disgusting, paranoid, racist and……….. but I guess it's time for a bit of humour to lighten the mood»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»

Social media users were left in shock on Tuesday after a report accused former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s husband Bryon Noem of living a double life as a crossdresser obsessed with wearing big fake breasts.
