Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Benggaul]

As expected, Monday's numbers were laughably inaccurate, so no report today. The report for the next couple days is likely going to be inaccurate as a result of corrections.

Yo, this crafts-faire reject seems wild. $8K for a baseball bat signed by Michael Flynn? Pugs patrolling the location? I'm a bit disappointed there was no reporting about the presence of spirit crystals, as well. I do wonder of the "Modern Samurai" guy was there again to hang out with confused old white people.

For the low-low price of $500, payable in monthly installments of $125. Or for the low-low-low price of $20 you can DM him. Surprised they're not using this to raise campaign funds.

Nah, selling themselves is literally all the Trumps have ever done.

What I would find absolutely hilarious would be if Trump just told everyone he is, again, President and Maralago is now the real White House. Starts with a nice phone call to Mr Kim who congratulates him, goes on his balcony and shouts "see even Kim says I am President". Barks orders everywhere and all the lackeys around him just carry on as if he were President. Then starts ordering other people around and threatens to sue them if they don't do it. Half the country would be with him in a second.

I believe it was the Flynn case where it was brought up that talking to a foreign nation on behalf of the USA while not actually a member of the government was a crime so it would be both hilarious for Trump delusion and because it would be followed by his arrest.

@Breccia we have a new deadline for Trump’s “reinstatement”. Trump himself is expecting to be back by August.

I have seen a lot of Tiktokers getting stitched saying it is going to happen by July 4th. I even saw one that said it was going to happen by this past Sunday.

So does QAnon actually have a method of picking out the date that Trump is going to come back and be President or are they just throwing darts at a calendar and saying "Yep...looks good" ?

They have a very definite method: The date is sometime in the future. The date itself doesn't matter, just that it's "coming" and "will happen", no matter how many times it hasn't "come" or "didn't happen" on previous dates.

Look at how many times the Rapture has been supposed to be happening on X. This is no different, whether its religion or conspiracy theories the mind grabs anything it can latch on to for comfort. And when that date slides past it just reaches for the next olive branch infront of it.

It is the same way that they pick when the world is supposed to end. They do some cryptic reading of a holy book, look at the Mayan calendar to double check, verify their findings with Alex Jones and then publish whatever they find.

Or what the rest of the world likes to call Insane-o-land.

After a while, the people that predict these things end up going to way of Harold Camping.

And AME/National Enquirer slapped with a $187K fine for killing the Karen McDougal story about Trump for campaign finance violations.

After investigating complaints brought by several progressive organizations and watchdog groups, the FEC concluded that AMI’s payment to McDougal amounted to an “in-kind contribution” to Trump’s campaign and it did not fit under a press exemption, as AMI had claimed in the FEC’s probe. It cited AMI’s and Pecker’s acknowledgment, in the DOJ agreement, that they were aware that the undisclosed contribution was unlawful.

“As such, the information indicates that AMI and Pecker knew that AMI’s payment to McDougal violated the Act, and they acted voluntarily and with awareness of unlawfulness when they negotiated the agreement with McDougal and made the 10 corresponding payment,” the FEC said. AMI, however, is continuing to deny that it knowingly and willfully broke campaign finance law.

" they acted voluntarily and with awareness of unlawfulness"

Why do I get the feeling we're going to hear that a few more times soon?

WaPo reports that --

"Paywall."

Um...Yahoo News reports that WaPo reports that Trump has hired a broker to sell off his DC hotel. It might be because he can't force the FBI to keep its headquarters across the street, or he might be broke.

"Didn't you already post that?"

Oddly enough, no.

Apparently the GOP is going to be holding a retreat at the Trump International Hotel in DC next month and, in a stunning coincidence (/s), the rates on the rooms are going to be jacked up for the same window the GOP is going to be there. As much as three times more for the least expensive rooms.

"That's 2019, dumbass."

Oh, how clumsy of me. I accidentally linked an article about Trump trying to gouge his fellow Republicans to launder their donation cash. Is my face red.

Anyhow, Trump might be able to find a buyer...but he's going to lose bank. Simply put, his brand is toxic and everyone knows he's desperate.

Imagine how many years of taxes he can avoid with this writeoff!

I'll trade him it for a bucket of KFC and a few Big Macs. If I feel generous, I'll throw some Diet Cokes in there too.

I am entirely sure that, when august doesn't materialize, that it's going to be september 8th, because that's the birthday of storm from x-men (I had to look this up) and the storm is coming.

[Breccia]

The rest of his life, no doubt. But he's broke now.

but she's black, and was considered a goddess, there is no way they'll accept that, got a b-day for Apocoplsypse? His "survival of the fittest" shtick (ignoring his win/lose record shows he ain't fit) should appeal to them

I’m like 65% sure the person making up these dates is just fucking with these Qanon stooges anyway.

Besides, it’s not like any of the other prospective dates were based on foresight, intuition or intelligence.
