Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

Why that song?

He thinks it's "Macho Man".

I love the alpha male trumpers and their iconic gay songs of YMCA and Macho Man. See they are secure in their sexuality. Good for them!

I heard that every time he played YMCA at his rallies, Lindsey Graham's ears perked up.

This CNN article...man, I'm glad the Trump supporters basically all fled to their bunkers to cry. I can post CNN without feeling bad about it. The article lists headlines from around the world about Biden's inauguration.

"Wrong thread."

Ah, this one belongs here.

[Eviscero]

Apparently Melaina pretty much abandoned Trump on the tarmac when they got off the plane.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a divorce in the very near future.

She's like her husband, she only likes winners.

[Machismo]

if a morally screwed president made your life comfortable, would you mind him as a person more than his policies

Yes, I would mind supporting a fascist. I hate him for both his personality, and his policies.

Why do you support racists like Trump? I you don't answer, I'll take that as an admission on your part.

[Adam Jensen]

"I like presidents who don't lose elections."

Hoo boy. This is an awkward topic.

So, I find it highly likely that Trump's lawyers drafted a prenup that had no infidelity clause, based purely on his first marriage and his second marriage. If they didn't, they should be fired. If that's not the case, Melania and Cohen should immediately file to apply the fiscal penalties before NYState, the Feds, Deutsche Bank or anyone else takes Trump's illegal money. If she waits too long, Trump goes broke and she loses everything, leaving her name hated and her bank account empty with nothing to show for it but a lack of self-respect.

So let's pretend Trump took that very obvious step. Melania could leave anyhow, deciding her worth as a person is more val....yeah I can't finish that sentence even hypothetically. She'll be glued to him until he dies or changes his will. Or, until NYState, the Feds, Deutsche Bank or anyone else takes all Trump's illegal money, and she wants to jump ship before that splashes over to her. I mean, it'd be dirt simple to prove she had no hand in Trump's business dealings, so it could purely be a defensive move.

It is hypothetically possible for Trump and Melania to conspire to defraud all of Trump's creditors, the NY goverment and the federal government, by staging a soap-opera divorce in which Melania gets all the money, Trump files bankruptcy to avoid as much damage as possible, then they split the money again. I don't think that's realistic. For one, it's a long-term plan and Trump's fatass days are numbered. Two, it would require Trump to be humiliated on the public stage, even if he knew it was temporary (considering Trump never stepped down so Pence could pardon him, I think this is a major issue for Trump). Three, such a divorce would be contested by the aforementioned creditors because even if it wasn't an obvious ploy they really want their money back. And four, Melania might just keep it and tell Trump to fuck off, then have sex with Cohen on a huge pile of cash.

Trump could also divorce her for being old, he's done it before. If he starts the proceedings, it's likely Melania will say "well screw that" and not only get Cohen and Stormy Daniels on the stand -- an NDA doesn't stand up to a court mandate -- but also mention literally everything she ever heard in the White House. Trump, with no immunity, would fear this more than death itself, but he's not exactly a great planner. Also, divorcing your wife for being old won't play in 2024 when running against President Harris.

Melania is a gold-digging whore and I'll tell her that to her face (the SS doesn't shoot people for that, plus she's probably heard it plenty by now). Unless Trump's lawyers left an exhaust port two meters wide in the prenup, the only way she gets paid is if she continues to be the good little handmaid and waits for Trump to die.

HAHAHAHAHAHA China sanctioned a bunch of Trump officials during the inauguration HAHAHAHAHAHA

China placed sanctions on 28 Trump officials on Wednesday, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump's trade adviser Peter Navarro and Alex Azar, the Health and Human Services Secretary. The measures bar travel to Hong Kong, Macao or mainland China, and restrict any organizations they run from doing business there, according to a statement from China's Foreign Ministry.

"Does Biden approve?"

Hell no, Biden's not a vindictive asshole like I am. But Team Trump intentionally attacked China every chance they could get. Did they think there'd be no consequences?

Or the NRA could simply be exaggerating with the "strongest financial condition in years" statement.

UPDATE: Judge rejects NRA bid to dismiss or move lawsuit by New York attorney general

A New York state judge on Thursday rejected the National Rifle Association’s bid to dismiss or move a lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James seeking its dissolution.

Justice Joel Cohen of Manhattan Supreme Court ruled six days after the gun rights group filed for bankruptcy protection and said it planned to reincorporate in the more gun-friendly Texas, after 150 years in New York.

The judge rejected the NRA’s argument that the case could be transferred to a federal court in Albany, the state capital, where the organization filed a countersuit accusing James of violating its members’ First Amendment rights.

James sued the NRA, Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre and others last August, accusing the advocacy group of diverting millions of dollars to fund luxurious trips for its officials, no-show contracts for associates, and other suspect expenses.

Once again, it's time to play Guess the Speaker!

Oh, yeah! Snap into a Slim Jim!

Wait, wait, that's not it. Hold on.

Fighting for America. We've been taken over by globalists, by the Chinese. Fighting for America. I'm not here for Trump. I'm here for America.

"That sounds like a true patriot!"

It sounds like Emanuel Jackson, who was caught on camera forcing his way into the Capital and hitting cops with an aluminium fucking baseball bat. So no, it doesn't. It sounds like a murderous insurrection.

To his minimal credit, he turned himself in. Using a deadly weapon, such as a metal fucking mace, is "aggravated assault" and when applied to a law enforcement officer there tends to be a felony and a minimum jail time. And he was filmed doing it.

Jackson is 20, and said in interviews he didn't vote. He might not get the chance again.

[Gorsameth]

Here's something I've never understood about Trump.

Why the YMCA? LOL? Why? At every rally, and in his final moments as POTUS. Why that song?

Because there is a laundry list of songs he has used in the past that the artists all commented on that Trump used their song without permission and will never have permission in the future?

He likely wanted something else to play but he wasn't allowed to.

Village People gives Trump OK to play gay anthems 'YMCA,' 'Macho Man' at rallies

Dated Feb 25th. Yeah...I bet right about now, they wish they could take it back.

Oh wait. They are trying to.

The record label that represents The Village People will launch legal action against Donald Trump, whose use of the song “YMCA” at campaign rallies was said to have been unauthorised.

Lawyers will submit a complaint “in the next few days”, Agence France-Presse reported on Thursday, following the Republican president’s use of the 1978 disco anthem.

The 73-year-old had danced to YMCA at recent campaign rallies, which see him and the song – widely considered a gay anthem – become viral hits on social media.

The rights holders, who include the Parisian record label Scorpio Music, were said to “have discovered with amazement this misappropriation,” lawyer Richard Malka said on Thursday.

“Moreover for partisan and electoral purposes for the benefit of Donald Trump, which they would never have accepted,” said Mr Malka.

The unauthorised use of the song will “be the subject of a complaint in the next few days, both in France and in the United States, against any initiator or accomplice of what constitutes outright theft of the property of others “, he added.

Hey @Vegas82 he record company also addresses the dance issue!

“Donald Trump does what Donald Trump does,” he said to the BBC. “I’ve never seen him actually put his hands up and make the YMCA. He’s changed it to M-A-G-A or something.”

So that's why he loves it!

I don't know the law involved in retracting a permission given. But man, how appropriate would it be if one of the last things Trump did in office, was get sued?

[PhaelixWW]

"What has her spokesperson said?"

I believe he said "I also got arrested."

I snorted...

Thanks.

UPDATE: Judge rejects NRA bid to dismiss or move lawsuit by New York attorney general

This, as far as I can tell, was just an almost pro forma longshot attempt by the NRA to avoid having to go through the rest of the legal process we talked about earlier. This result is not surprising, so we'll just have to take the long way through.

A day in which one sports item is mentioned in politics, namely the aluminium baseball bat, is a rare.

A day in which two sports items is red letter.

Michael from Michigan because that's not confusing at all was arrested for beating cops with a hockey stick.

Oh, funny story: I posted Legal Eagle literally yesterday about the murderous insurrection. He, being not just an expert but also smarter than me, suggested that weaker/misdemeanor crimes would be filed first then larger/felonies later. This is now happening.

But I think he also mentioned the all-important Jan 20th date. Trump can't pardon anymore. So Trump would have had three options, all bad:

1) Give blanket pardons to the murderous insurrectionists on his way out the door, cementing his role in the matter, further weakening his 2024 power, and maybe even inviting obstruction charges.

2) Do nothing, leave his rabid fanbase who attacked the House/Senate on his own orders to go to prison, hanging them out to dry because they no longer serve any purpose to Trump. This, of course, is what happened because Trump is a piece of #2.

3) Pardon the misdemeanors, see 1), but leave open the upcoming felonies, see 2), the worst of both worlds.

As someone who lives balls-deep in Hockey Country, I can personally attest to how much damage you can do by hitting someone with a hockey stick.

Not all that much, honestly, compared to other weapons of that size. They're designed for finesse strikes, not bludgeoning for raw power. I've handled my share of sticks and OH GOD THAT LOOKS WRONG I've inspected several university sports league pieces of sports equipment and I'm pretty sure they'd shatter if you really wound up and swung for the fences. Maybe one of the old-school sticks would survive, but not the ones I've seen in the college shop. Bare minimum, you'd snap the blade off at the joint, and then have a slightly shorter broom handle.

Now he is in the penalty box. Probably for 10 or more years.

Didn’t he also do that to her?

It was literally his first day in office. The Obamas had to escort Melania inside because Trump ditched her.
