Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[D Luniz]

She wasn't shot in the head, she was shot in the neck, for trying to get into a room full of lawmakers, including Republican ones that stated it was a clean shoot, and she was told multiple times to get down. She got what she deserved.

"sHe ShOuLd HaVe JuSt CoMpLiEd". She was told not to climb through the window multiple times, and she caught a bullet for it. Dumbass got what she deserved, especially violating her oath to the constitution.

and unlike in most cases, we actually have a full video of it, and not just the cop saying it, and the video being with held to "protect an investigation"

[Kaleredar]

It's a reminder that unarmed people killed by cops is not an instant judgement against the use of force.

Dead cops is an exaggeration, and nobody truly thinks that cops dying of strokes after shocking incidents (insurrection, riots, what have you) can be laid at the feet of insurrectionists and rioters. The other insulting and indefensible actions of the insurrectionists stand just as appalling absent a real body count.

"Just because our clients broke several federal laws with the intent of harming and potentially killing people and took actions that happened to result in people dying (and they wouldn't have died if our clients hadn't done those things,) do you really think they're responsible for their deaths?!"

Yeah, lots of people actually think that.

Because most times if you're a knowing participant in a crime in which someone dies because of the risky actions you undertook, you generally get put on the hook for first-degree murder.

Frankly, every single person that broke into the capitol building should be on the docket for treason and thank their lucky stars that whatever sentence they get isn't them being hanged.

[Xyonai]

It's even better, since they'll happily accept the conclusion of the medical examiner when it gets them off the hook in this instance, but will still swear up and down that Floyd died of an overdose, despite literally all of the evidence to the contrary.

In a way it's logically consistant; since both excuses takes the blame right off 'their' guys and puts it on the victim's bodily health just-so-happening to fail due to underlying medical conditions that seemed otherwise fine until exposed to very-specific duress in the presence of right-wing nutjobs.

Actually with this excuse you can also apply it to their general view of COVID: Sure Right-wing leadership let the disease fester, but the lethality is overblown and if you happened to die from it you were going to die anyway so sucks to be you.

Because why bother to take any responsibility for anything when you can just blame literally everything else?

[kaid]

Technically he'd be right,he just needs to impeach Harris as well,then the Speaker becomes President and finishes the term.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United..._of_succession

And would have to basically impeach her at the exact same time or she could just nominate another VP immediately upon taking her oath as president.

[gondrin]

It makes sense. In his demented 'know nothing' head he probably thinks... Biden impeached = tRump automatically reinstated back to president

He can think that all he wants, but much like how he should have been removed, impeachment doesn't mean anything other then stating that you suck at your job and you need to be removed from it for X reason. It is the Senate that has all the power there to remove whomever is the President.

I've stated before that generally Articles of Impeachment are either talked about or brought forth for nearly every president in the last 40 years in some way, shape or form. Unless the Senate has 67 Republican senators, there is no chance of anyone being removed. None.

[Masark]

You're assuming they don't give their seditionist lunatics a better plan than the first try and have them just kill all the Democratic senators.

Oof. I really wouldn't want to defend every stressful police situation (riots and assaults included) and wait until the next day's heart attacks and strokes to determine (and here we have the logical leap) that, but for yesterday's activities, the policeman would've been alive. You'd be blaming police deaths on quite a few innocents and be up a creek without a paddle. Interesting legal theories there though, good read.

"sHe ShOuLd HaVe JuSt CoMpLiEd". She was told not to climb through the window multiple times, and she caught a bullet for it. Dumbass got what she deserved, especially violating her oath to the constitution.

You do understand that my post--that sometimes an unarmed person is justifiably killed by police despite not having a weapon--supports your conclusion. Right?

[Kaleredar]

Yeah I'm gonna assume that number is astoundingly small.

Their intent was clearly to cause harm. Harm was caused. Punish them for the harm.

And let's be clear, nobody that forced their way into the capitol building was "an innocent."

[Benggaul]

Saturday's quick report:

11,603 new cases; 388 deaths, bringing the total to 612,203. 22 states didn't report, so I guess at some point I'm going to have to take the hint and also not bother for the weekend.

It's "only the flu" and a "lab made super weapon that we should fear." A "98% survival rate" and a "masks infringe on my rights."

They don't understand what science is, it changes until it's understood. They can only trust the words of a conman, not anyone with any intellect.

So, Trump gave a speech last night, where he sounded like he is literally going fucking crazy with dementia. But the funny thing is, he either was wearing stretch pants or his dress slacks backwards.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3MdXJHW...g&name=900x900

I am not going to embed it to make people throw up, but look at the front there. There is no zipper there, and the wrinkles on the front, look like they would be, right where your ass meets your legs.

And before you claim that is photoshopped, I will link a video of him wearing it like this. https://twitter.com/travisakers/stat...03475696025600

What the actual fuck? Did he drop mustard on the front and think flipping them around was a good idea? What a fucking dumbass.

I'm more than willing to believe he's so far gone he accidentally put his pants on backwards, but I think these are elasticated pants that many older folks wear. No zipper; just pull up and down for convenience. Granted, that's not much better because they're common among Alzheimer's patients...

And even then, that bulge looks like he is wearing the biggest pair of depends ever, or it is full.

Very true, though that's an issue that existed through his entire term, if you'll recall.

I will not be linking pictures. It must violate some forum rule against explicit imagery.

The best part of the whole speech is that he prefaced it with the theme song of the movie "Titanic".

At which point they'd have a target on their back in a city that's 95+% Democrat, with capitol police that have no interest in protecting them.

That's what I think as well. Trump may have lost his mind, but you don't just...put on suit pants backwards. How would he zip it up or hook the button through? It would have to be deliberate.

Its is a very strange look though. The way the folds seem suggest an ass is there.

Acceptable compromise.

Now, please excuse me while I find a way to purge these images out of my mind.

Their intent was clearly to cause harm. Harm was caused. Punish them for the harm.

You're gonna jail a lot of minorities in this country if you only assume/deduce vague intent, and measure any deaths from strokes, cardiac arrest, anything with heightened risk from stress, and shove them both together. Kaleredar tripped a guy, he happened to fall in such a way as to cause hospitalization and death, so clearly Kaleredar intended to cause harm, harm was caused, punish him for the harm.

You don't really need to engage in such logical leaps to increase the "victim count" of January 6th.
