Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[DarkTZeratul]

I would really love to start naming individual people and asking "how do you feel about being on the same side as this person?" So, I will.

People tried that when David Duke threw in for Donald Trump. The response was essentially, "doesn't matter because Donald Trump can't control who chooses to support him."

They're allowed to admit they're on the same side as people who are this insane, sure. I don't mind them saying so on the record.

Granted, it would be more to my own personal taste if they said "What? No, that fucker's insane" or the like. But that's up to them, not me.

In which Tucker Carlson calls Alex Jones a "journalist" and claims he's been a "far better guide to reality in recent years."

You know, the guy who complained about the chemicals in the water turning us into gay frogs.

I think we can say that the complete and total rot of the conservative brain in America is finished. There's nothing left up there.

Sanctioned lawyer Sydney Powell and her entire sidecar of clowns (Lin Wood, et al.) have been ordered to pay Michigan officials and the city of Detroit a total of over $175,000 in lawyers fees for the infamous "Kraken" lawsuit.

Surely Trump will step forward to pay these fees, right?

Oh, right.

I don't think Trump ever paid for anything out of his own pocket. He is the real live version of Donald Duck's Uncle Scrooge.

I'm going to say he is more like Al Bundy. Scrooge was actually successful and had successful businesses.

Oh! Speaking of Tucker, did you hear that Hunter Biden helped Tucker's son get into college?*

“I can't thank you enough for writing that letter to Georgetown on Buckley's behalf,” Carlson wrote in a 2014 email to Biden. “So nice of you. I know it'll help. Hope you're great and we can all get dinner soon.”

I'm really digging this QAnon war Lin Wood is staring up!

*maybe! This looks to be based off emails taken from Hunter's laptop. So who knows? Funny though!

Man...I'm super skeptical of Wood but if what he's been leaking has been legit so far then...dayum. Too bad it won't matter much, because nothing does, but I am going to enjoy the circular firing squad.

Maybe this is the "Civil War" Koko keeps talking about, he just got the participants wrong.

Does put Tucker in an interesting pickle, though. Either he:
1) Claims the emails are fake news, which puts the whole hunter laptop thing in question to his viewers
2) Admits that he has a personal relationship with someone he's been jihading against on his show, which has to be against some ethics somewhere (clearly not foxnews though LOL)

The next time someone tries to tell you America is a meritocracy, or whines about social justice quotas in college admissions, point them to this article. Also point out that Carlson is such a slimy weasel that he'd publicly turn on people he's received favors from just so he could profit from smearing that person into the ground. When it comes to being a complete and total fuckwad, Tucker is unmatched.

I don't trust that Lin Wood, or anyone, has legit emails from Hunter Biden's laptop. "I found these on Hunter Biden's laptop" is not a convincing statement to me, 13 months after the election and also it's not law enforcement.

I wonder how long this is going to last before the SEC gets involved.

Speaking of Truth, they finally admitted that they based that off of open source, and did the right thing and uploaded all the source code so they are in compliance!
just kidding, they just uploaded the base source code, not any of their changes LOL

However, it appears the uploaded Zip archive is simply a barebones version of the existing Mastodon source code you can already find on GitHub. The archive itself is only a mere 30MB in size. Nevertheless, Rochko said the Zip archive might “become more interesting” once Truth Social finally launches.

[Breccia]

Oh no, Trump missed a deadline. Must be a day that ends in adultery.

I'll be honest, I completely forgot this was supposed to be a thing. Trump launched and then ended his blog, we all had a laugh about what a miserable fat fucking failure he is, and the issue stopped being relevant like Trump's wedding vows.

I wonder how long this is going to last before the SEC gets involved.

Does the SEC get involved in products that don't exist? I mean, I guess they have to if money is changing hands. Selling something at an inflated value sounds like it's dancing on the edge of legal fraud vs. just being a shitty business. And everyone here, including the Trump supporters, expect Trump to just take the money for himself and then not do anything with it.

Don’t insult Al Bundy that way, he at showed loyalty to his family and friends and didn’t actively try and hurt others needlessly.

With Scrooge, he could be a failed version of Ebineezer or however you spell his name but don’t compare him to McDuck.

I would think that they would have to, especially since Trump is literally trying to sell shares of NOTHING. The service the company supposedly provides is non-existent, so it’s like they’re trying to attract investors like backers on Kickstarter.

That's my take as well, even if I'm not 100% sure about it. I know Trump is desperate for money, but to actually commit a billion dollars of outright fraud in public seems extreme, even for his unethical fat ass.

I mean, he instigated a treasonous insurrection in broad daylight, so why not?

You win this round, Rick.

Hopefully the two have something in common -- they both suck and fail, and then people go to jail.

[Ivanstone]

Because one is politics and the other is money.

If you steal from the wrong person they might actually do something about it. Not every wealthy conservative is a lunatic like Mike Lindell who seems more than happy to set his fortune on fire in Trump’s name.
