Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Breccia]

So Trump took to CPAC and it was pretty much as expected.

He compared the Capitol murderous insurrection to race-related riots, saying "nobody seems to be bothered by that."

He said the pre-murderous-insurrection rally was a "beautiful thing".

He claimed the National Guard offered to send 10,000 troops to defend the Capitol but that Congress turned it down. Forgetting, of course, that Trump is in charge of the National Guard. He's been caught lying about that before.

And of course, as mentioned before, he said he won the election, attacked every Republican who didn't back his claims, etc etc.

LOL
Trump got vaccinated in Jan before 99.9% of the country

What a dirty cunt. Could not even admit it

This was missed this past week among other things but they found that voter fraud Trump's been going on about--oh, wait...

Four people, including justice of the peace, arrested on 150 counts of voter fraud

Yep, it's the GOP again.

This wouldn't have been so bad, if Trump hadn't claimed chloroquine flu hoax the entire time. Honestly, the President should be near first of the line.

Yep, it's the GOP again.

Because of course it is.

For all those who didn't click on Benggaul's link, first of all shame on you it's like a 30-second read, second of all that's organized voter fraud. Which is a key distinction. One guy asking for ten ballots? That's a paddling. One guy making a team to attack democracy? That's a prisonin'

My favorite was how he bragged how united the party was, then proceeded to call out all his enemies in the GoP sitting in congress by name.

I've been thinking. Since the news came out about the Crazy Pillow Guy getting muted after launching into conspiracies over the voting machine litigation. Isn't it about time the US Government sue Trump and news outlets peddling in conspiracy about Joe losing the election so that every time Trump brings this up, they start self-censoring just like CPAC censored Crazy Pillow Guy?

No. You don't want the actual US Government suing people over this kind of thing, that strays dangerously close to real censorship and first amendment violations. Let the private individuals and companies that were being attacked in the conspiracies do the suing, they can do so without the extra baggage of being the government.

Art of the Deal and a McDonald’s menu. The former would require as asterisk stating Trump never actually read the book he paid someone else to write.

There is one of his ex wives that said he kept a book about Hitler's speeches next to his bed. https://www.businessinsider.com/dona...his-bed-2015-8

Monday quick report:

53,147 new cases is about 6k fewer than last Monday. Like Sundays, Mondays aren't very accurate, but this small of a difference is fairly disappointing compared to weeks past.

1,439 deaths is a little under 100 more than last Monday and brings the total to 527,226. Again, it's disappointing that it's gone up, but Mondays aren't usually very indicative of trends and numbers from last Monday were still a bit suppressed thanks to the winter storm. I still expect to see numbers in the range of 2k for the rest of the week which, while not good, is half what we were getting about a month ago.

WHO panel 'strongly' advises against use of hydroxychloroquine to prevent COVID-19--No, we haven't time warped back to last year. Trump's disinformation campaign has been so extensive that this warning still has to be shouted from the rooftops. Fuck Trump.

Stay safe, folks.

[Breccia]

Trump put out an "enemies" list

I bet McConnell is so glad he had that talk with Trump before CPAC. It seems to have worked perfectly.

I'm just intellectually stunned that that warning still has to go out, because of that bloated warthog of a shit-stain Trump. The damage he caused will be with us for generations.

Lol, right? The only way Trump doesn't lie is when his mouth is closed.

Huh, so Cawthorn's friend is disputing the allegations he "left him to die in a fiery tomb". Will be a shocker if it ends up Cawthorn lied about how he was paralyzed and slandered his "friend".

Jesus... I know the GOP has a tenuous relationship with reality at best, but what possible justification could there be to lie about something like that? You'd think a car crash that paralyzed you would be enough of a harrowing story to impress the masses without throwing your "friend" under the bus like that as well.

He's lied about many things other than just the crash and he also has been accused of sexual harassment. He's also made many racist comments as well. He's really just Trump on wheels.

strange i can't find a single instance of this on fox news.
Kind of hard to find anything with them so focused on Cuomo's "sexual allegations"

It feels like now that he's no longer present, talking about other Republican shitshows in this thread is no longer topical.

Cawthorn’s story is a pretty strong example of how much a shitshow US healthcare is but he can’t be honest about it because that would undermine the GOP’s belief in for profit healthcare.

For those of you who didn't read about the original incident (not you specifically Ivan), he was a teenager crushed in a car crash.

Alex Jones turns on Donald Trump.

It’s the truth, and I’m just going to say it: that I wish I never would have fucking met Trump. I wish it never would have happened. And it’s not the attacks I’ve been through. I’m so sick of fucking Donald Trump, man. God, I’m fucking sick of him. And I’m not doing this because, like, I’m kissing his fucking ass, you know. It’s, like, I’m sick of it.

Oh man, can't wait to see the fallout over this one! You know, amongst all of Alex Jones' six remaining viewers.

I don’t know what’s more horrifying. Getting your spine crushed or jumping through legal battles to get your $3M medical debt cleared.

Of course he’s fine with this. Competition will take care of this.

That's where I was going with that, yeah.

Leaving aside what Cawthord did afterwards and why, stories like this (sudden massive medical bills) are why we have the ACA. Well, what's left of it. Only a fat orange fucktard would want to throw people back into that, especially during a lethal outbreak they helped cause.
