Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[DarkTZeratul]

Facebook recovered from their bad change in a few hours just fine. There was no 10 day global Internet outage as Q predicted, wrong again. Nor was 'Trump reinstated' because of the non-existent 10 day Internet outage. Shockingly, wrong again there too.

QAnon: "The FBI shut everything down! They're arresting everyone and carrying out all the servers to go through the data! The reckoning has come!"

Facebook: "We fucked up and did the digital equivalent of locking the keys in the car."

I have already seen memes saying FB was destroying evidence.

"Evidence of what?"

Just evidence. You know, just a general accusation without any context or merit.

Evidence of Zuckerberg being an alien. About the only way to explain the fact the man doesn't blink. EVER.

Have you seen his fencing partner? The guy has a US flag painted on his damn faceguard! And Zuckerberg waterskis with American flags! Anybody spending that much time trying to convince us he's an American human being is clearly a synthetic android.

We can just hope he's more Data than Lore, but as things are going now he seems like the worst aspects of both mixed into one.

*ahem*



You wanna take a second shot at that?

Well, Trump proves he's human(a very bad and disgusting one at that) because he has one of the defining traits of a human. He is a narcissist.

His sentience is in question, and he's absolutely not synthetic. It's more like when you discover that 4 year old loaf of bread you forgot about and you're absolutely convinced that the mold and rot is moving.

So let's talk about Jeffery Smith, the patient who sued a hospital to administer ivermeticin.

"Let me guess, he's fucked?"

No. He's dead.

What a shame. Ah well, one less Trump supporter.

I hope he didn't have any kids. Both for the kids' sake and because he's one of the strongest candidates for a Darwin Award I've ever seen, it'd be a shame if he didn't win because of it.

This one must really hurt him.

Thanks partly to the pandemic, Donald Trump has dropped off the Forbes 400 list

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly long been obsessed with the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans — specifically, his place on it. So, he's unlikely to be pleased with its latest iteration — which doesn't include him at all.

It's the first time in 25 years that Trump hasn't made the annual list, which debuted in 1982.

[Breccia]

I hope he didn't have any kids.

The articles I read don't say. But he was 51, so, if they did have kids they'd be out of the house, making their own life choices.

Didn't Wilbur Ross get dropped from their billionaire list midway through when it was discovered that he was not only stealing from coworkers, but grossly exaggerating his wealth?

Man, I don't know what to do with all these pointless but deeply amusing self-owns for people who really, really, really care about this shit.

[Gorsameth]

Pence also claimed the Jan 6th investigation was being done to distract from Biden's failings. This, of course, does not line up with reality. Pelosi announced the investigation Feb 15th. Pence, as appropriate for someone in the Party of Trump, is lying.

Its takes a special kind of Cuck to down play an insurrection that you know came to hang you specifically.

I think this is the funniest part.

But the magazine says it didn't have to be that way. Senior editor Dan Alexander writes: "If Trump is looking for someone to blame, he can start with himself. Five years ago, he had a golden opportunity to diversify his fortune. Fresh off the 2016 election, federal ethics officials were pushing Trump to divest his real estate assets. That would have allowed him to reinvest the proceeds into broad-based index funds and assume office free of conflicts of interest."

So if he had followed the law, divested all of his interests, and put the proceed into a bunch of index funds (exactly like Bill Gates), he would be a lot richer now.

If, according to Forbes, Trump had "managed to avoid capital gains taxes" and instead taken his $3.5 billion when he became president and reinvested it in the S&P 500, it would have been worth about $7 billion by September, keeping him comfortably on the list at No. 133.

I don't think the "king of debt" has ever credibly been accused of being a financial genius. A very stable genius, sure, but not a financial genius.

Well, Trump did divest his money. Into Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump Hotels, Trump Casinos, Trump Menswear(probably something that is 3 sizes too big) and other thing. All of which has been lost money, discontinued or cancelled outright.

Its the cuckiest of cucky things a cuck could cuck.

In fact, i think we can easily replace the word cuck, with the word pence, now, like:

Its the penceiest of pencey things a pence could pence.

Just a point that isn't necessarily true. My dad was 41 when I was born.

He did have three children. As they haven't shown up in other articles I'm assuming they want no part in this shit. Also, I'm not linking the GoFundYourself for the funeral, but it's in the obituary I did link if anyone really wants to go there. Me, I think the money they spent on that lawsuit could possibly have gone to funeral arrangements.

I don't know where the ivermeticin thing came from, I really don't. I suspect it was Some Guy On Twitter again, with his lack of medical degree somehow turning into scientific research in the minds of (checks news) Trump supporters. I'll admit this guy was dying so there weren't a lot of useful options left, but the family made a huge public showing of pushing for a drug everyone knew wouldn't work and...it didn't work.

It comes from anti-vaxxers latching onto anything that isn't vaccines in the vain hope something works.

In ivermectins case, they saw a report about it showing promising results against vivid - and ignored the rest of the report of how that was only in lab conditions and that it would have to be at toxic levels to work in humans.

The NY teacher mandate will go ahead as scheduled.

U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil in Manhattan rejected a request to temporarily block the vaccine mandate that the city began enforcing Monday for Department of Education employees. She said a lawsuit filed on behalf of several teachers and other school employees did not meet requirements of irreparable harm, likelihood of success or public interest.

Vyskocil said she could not “ignore the harm that could take place if the schoolchildren were exposed to the risk of COVID” if she gave temporary relief from a mandate meant to protect them.

“If the harm happens, it’s a harm that cannot be undone,” she said.

Some group called NewsWhip, which Axios seems to like, shows how much traffic Trump has lost.

In August/Sept, number of Trump stories dropped 26%, number of people visiting each dropped 28%, and the result was a 50% drop in people reading about Trump -- matching what happened in March/April.

It might explain why he's practically sobbing in court for someone to invent a new law to put him back on Twitter. Actually, him going back on Twitter right now would actually be worse. He would not be able to help himself from tweeting that the election was a fraud, but would not hold public office at the time, Twitter would throw away the key this time and Trump would have nothing left to bring to court while campaigning in silence.
