Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Zaydin]

It’s Orwellian and sets precedent for there not being such a thing as private property. I’m guessing as long as they do it while bitching about communism, no one will notice communism?

What I want to see is liberal groups vowing to use this EO to go after right-wing websites that blanket ban liberals for saying anything that runs counter their narratives (IE, Breitbart, Daily Caller). Imagine how the right wing would freak out to see this used against them.

I’m seeing this as worse. Considering social media is a private enterprise. Does this executive order mean, that someone putting up a political sign on your property, cannot be removed without government review? This is communism... not socialism, but communism.

I mean, odds are that if it does go forward it'll get struck down by the courts considering it's a blatant assault on the First Amendment.

Lord knows cons will act like striking it down would be the attack on the First Amendment no matter how many times you try to explain to them that the free speech protections under the First Amendment only applies to government censorship.

Trump now complaining about the new movie, The Hunt. Trying to redirect all the racist comments about himself to "liberal Hollywood". They're the real racists, reeeeee!!

Of course he is. They ran that fear mongering story on Fox. And Fox news sets the President's agenda and determines how he feels about things.

Because that is the branch of the timeline we live in. Yeah.

Well, only idiots who blindly believe everything Fox says think the movie is about liberals killing conservatives. Did we really expect any different from Trump?

How in the actual fuck do can him and his stooges even think the movie targets them? Half of them are the 'elite' the other half would be the prey, who are shown as standing up against the elite. You huffing the bottom barrel spray paint to reach the narrative they've cooked up in their head.

Talk about self hate.

Probably explains this nonsense

Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period. And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.

Imagine having a president that's such a goddamned ignorant sheep.

Imagine a movie studio's delight at having the President of the United States of America advertising their movie for them.

You know, thinking about it some more, the conspiracy theorists in me wants to believe that this was all a marketing ploy by the studio to drum up attention for their movie. Advertising something like this right after two mass-shooting events would have been in poor taste, so what better way to get the word out about it than convince some conservative idiots that they're being targeted by this evil leftist propaganda (even though they're actually the protagonists of the film).

Ok, I'll take my tinfoil off now.

Basically a direct to DVD movie, with stars that no one had ever heard of, had just become a feature film.

I've never heard of the movie and wouldn't have seen been interested if I had. Might have been good, might have been bad, but the premise is old.

Now I really want to see it.

The amount of anti-eliteness coming out of Republicans right now is fucking hilarious.

Fox news? Full of fucking elites like Carlson.
Republican politicians on the federal level? Fucking elites everywhere.
Trump's cabinet? All elites now that the generals all fucked off.
Trump? Fucking New York city coastal elite.

Like, where the fuck do Republicans get off acting like they're average people? How dumb do Republicans think their voters are exactly?

Are you implying Generals are not elites? Basically all of them are from damn near aristocratic dynasties. There is nothing closer to an American Aristocracy then senior military officers. Ivy League educations and pedigrees longer then a show dog on most of them.

To be fair, what evidence are they getting to the contrary

Looks like the grandfather confirmed it

Then I apologize for doubting it. And I especially apologize to

Walmart removing violent video game displays, signs from stores but still selling guns

Joke response: but the only thing that can stop a picture of a bad guy with a gun, is a picture of a good guy with a gun!

Real response: while this is knee-jerk and stupid -- they still sold the games -- Wal-Mart has already banned the sales of assault weapons in its stores in 2015. Considering this was the weapon that, if I remember correctly, was used in all three shootings, I'd say they have already taken steps.

So in addition to employing undocumented workers at his properties, his companies have been hiring contractors with undocumented workers for decades.

Just a reminder to all:

1) Trump intentionally hired illegal immigrants to build Trump Tower.
2) And then he didn't pay them.
3) And they sued him.
4) And Trump lost.

Kid rock is a derivative version of Limp Bizket... and I’m not saying Limp Bizket was original.

Not to derail the thread further, but the most hilarious thing about Kid Rock is that his "trailer-trash", rough-and-tumble, blue-collar schtick is all an act to appeal to the lowest common denominator. He grew up filthy rich on a 6-acre estate. His real name is Rob Ritchie. He's a phony trying to call out other people for supposedly being phony.

How many seasons was Trump a game show host?
