Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Kaleredar]

In this context, he was a Twitter user, which gives him standing, and that it's cross-state just means it should be pursued through Federal courts, rather than State courts.

If companies don't want to be sued by out-of-state customers, they're free to not do business outside their home State.

Now I have to go shower with lye, because defending Trump is making me itch.

If it’s any consolation I doubt he really has any actual legal argument, here.

He broke twitters TOS, presumably enough to warrant this permanent suspension.

This is the weirdest fucking timeline, I swear...

Gizmodo: Trump Tells Judge He Will Suffer ‘Irreparable Harm’ If He’s Not Allowed to Tweet




...and also...

Insider: Trump is demanding that the Pulitzer Prize committee strip NYT and WaPo journalists of their awards for reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election

TLDR: Trump is mad that nobody is paying attention to him anymore and desperately wants people to pay attention to him.

Same as his "new social media platform"...er...blog. Now he just sends his tweets out as official statements, but they don't get the kind of engagement that fueled that dopamine high that he used to get when he had national TV cameras and Twitter at his beck and call.

Oh, he doesn't have a case. I'm just pointing out how he'd have standing.

That's rich coming from you, I hear what you've been up to with a certain senator's non-existent wife.

Oh, hypothetical snap!

[Hollycakes]

I see what you're saying but the issue is you're using logic.
I was using Q point of view and it goes against all their ideals in that sense.
It's ok if it's when Texas tried to overturn other states election results but reverse it and "Communists! Texas shall secede!"
It's a fucking weird gerrymandered line around what is ok and when.
A Democratic former president doing this would have them screaming Deep State! to the papers.

I don't believe that's it. Well, not entirely.

Twitter had people come to his virtual doorstep and tell them they loved him. Trump is still getting attention, he's on the news every day, but because it's about all that stuff he did, it's negative. And even if it wasn't, he wouldn't hear the applause.

There a hole inside Trump that should be filled by a loving family. Trump doesn't have a loving family. His only remaining wife despises him. His children are waiting for him to die so they get his money. He's out of friends, basically. And we've spoken enough about his father. Trump needs crowds of people, in person or virtual, telling him he's the most bigly most yuge most Trumply. He ran the country like he ran his businesses, as an absentee who handed out directives reading "Do Something Good" in Sharpie, then just expected it to happen and for him to get the credit. See also: unemployment drops in 2017.

It's not just attention. He wants validation. You don't pay a whore $130,000 for an honest opinion about your tiny flacid penis. You pay a whore $130,000 because your wife won't touch you.

Q supporters are claiming that because Facebook has had an outage today, that they are waiting for the entire US internet and electrical grid to go down, in what they call the "10 days of darkness", which ends with Trump as president. For real this time lol, even though Q is 0-80 on predictions.

They do this all the time where they claim everything is 'a sign' proving he was correct in his prophecies but Q rarely gets called out when inevitably proven wrong. It does show the Q supporter lack of knowledge in science and technical areas though that they would confuse a DNS outage at 1 company with 'The Internet'. It's the same reason they really misunderstand even the fundamentals of 5G and other science areas, bad sources of info. And worse yet, it's the same people that keep going back to the same bad sources no matter how many times it turns out they are wrong. They would quadruple down before admitting they were wrong and peeling the Q sticker off their car. So I suspect we'll continue to get these, 'a cow passed gas in Norway, it's a sign Trump's being reinstated!' for quite a while.

If it's any consolation, I doubt she had a single braincell dedicated to orchestrating anything in regards to that campaign. Now whether that's because she lacked the will... or the requisite braincells... I leave that to you, the reader, to decide.

Pretty sure the answer to that is All of the Above. I would also throw in lack of time due to her spending the entire 4 years wallowing in self-pity and feeling sorry for herself that she had to be First Lady.

I couldn't care less if this gets me infracted because it needs to be said: Anyone who is still a QAnon believer at this point needs to be euthanized, both for their own sake as well as everyone else's.

I've posted this before about Magic Mike's Symposium Of Web Wonders but it applies here too.
I swear this is what they think.

Gov. DeSantis' wife was diagnosed with breast cancer today. The public announcement was made about five hours ago. It would be the epitome of douchebaggery to make this the time for political attacks on the DeSantis family.

Of course, it was the time for political attacks 24 hours ago, when Trump waddled out in public to warn DeSantis against running in 2024.

"Well, DeSantis must be pretty put out about that public rebuking by Trump."

DeSantis at the time hadn't said he was running yet. He's deflected questions on the topic even on FOX News as recently as last week. For a while, he was out-polling Trump, but then Florida stood in the fire on his orders, so the current situation is less concrete. And quite frankly, he has other problems he should worry about. Being shoved into the corner by Trump is probably damaging to his ego and his poll numbers, but it shouldn't be top of his list right now.

Yup, I'm an asshole.

I admit that my very first thought upon seeing this news a little earlier was: "I hope for her sake that she doesn't have to try and find a hospital bed in Florida in the near future."

Thankfully for her, they're at least wealthy enough to fly her to another state with capacity for cancer treatment. Plus, yaknow, political connections will probably grease the wheels. Her husband may be dogshit, but she shouldn't suffer as a result. She suffers enough being married to the fuckin retard.

I have zero sympathy for her. I won't say she should suffer, but I won't shed one tear for her. This wasn't an arranged marriage, she chose to marry the piece of shit, and she could also have chosen to divorce him if she wanted. Now if this had happened to one of his kids, I'd absolutely feel a ton of sympathy for them because they didn't get to pick their parents.

I wouldn't go that far, but I'd say their right to hold office or vote might need some scrutiny.

Apparently Graham is a communist, socialist freeloader and would show up to Mar a Lago events for the free food. I guess Senate paychecks plus lobbyist kickbacks don't pay like they used to so he's gotta slum it getting free food at political events : /

On the subject of Graham, he also recently got booed by people at an event for even mentioning vaccines.

Yeah, saw that. I hope it happens every time and that, one of these times, they realize that they and their political party, with their media allies, are the source of this bullshit.

I don't know if Graham has been as vocal against them, but I don't even feel bad for folks like McConnell who have been pro-vaccine from the get-go (because he's old enough to remember when new vaccines were hugely important and everyone happily received them so as to avoid deadly illnesses). Don't feel bad for him either when he's heckled (which he rarely puts himself in a position to be), just look at your own fuckin party.

Not very surprising, since Trump got booed as well.

Yep, Graham and co. decided to keep the crazies as voters, instead of doing the smart thing and shut them down immediately even if it came at the expense of a few elections.

There is an old saying that goes "When you lie down with pigs, all you ever get is dirty."
