Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Evil Midnight Bomber]

I think its pretty fair to say that if your a 'non-mafia' person who is at the home of a dead mob boss for their wake your not 'non-mafia'

That's literally "guilt by association"

In Trump's case everything is usually gilt by association.

Looks like Trump’s team is trying to lock all the actual libertarians out of their own convention and bring in his MAGA followers for when he speaks. Also hearing he may have secret service confiscate the squeaky chicken toys.

The perfect storm. Yhe enigma of the Libertarian Party meeting maga. Give them credit, possibly the majority don't want him there.

Background for people, the president of the Libertarians went full maga I guess so this is her big push.

[Mayhem]

As you mentioned, the video is now unavailable, but still images exist. The internet never forgets.



I've literally spoken to larger crowds. And I'm nobody. Trump had to bus these people in.

Dude, you've spoken to larger crowds by posting on this forum.

Apparently to Trumpers, thats 30k. They didn't even sell through the 3400 tickets they had for it. And people were leaving the thing early.

Trump went to the Libertarian convention, for some dumbass reason. It didn't go well.



He was booed and was yelled at saying "hypocrite".

Those signs sure are interesting.

MAGA = Socialist.

Didn't know who he was, looked at his twatter and it seems like he is born again!

They are libertarians. Get 2 libertarians together and you'll get 2 vastly different ideas on what a libertarian is. Unlike most other political parties, it is one of the few that has no real central platform other than "No Government in my life."

They don't really have an actual political platform, it's mostly just a bunch of contrarians.

I would think if Libertarianism was a thing it would be a 100% secular platform.

It's Libertarians, you buy them THEN fuck them.
Religions want you to marry them. Or join the clergy.

Libertarians in the USA are basically SovCits who lack the spine to challenge cops to their face. Equally out to goddamned lunch.

And that's speaking as someone with generally a lot of small-L libertarian leanings, at least ideologically (restrained due to practicalities, not desire).

Gotta love seeing how much being boo'd affected him. His jaw clenches, he turns oranger, and then, like any smart person trying to get more votes, he insults the "libitarians".

My favorite description of a Libertarian is a Republican who doesn't want to admit he is a Republican.

I like Republican whole still wants to get laid.

Personally, I've found Kim Stanley Robinson's description to be right on the nose: "Libertarians are anarchists who want the police to protect them from their slaves."

Donald was never interested in the Libertarian nomination, that's not why he went there. The fact that he lost was intentional, because if he wanted to win he totes could have.

“The reason I didn’t file paperwork for the Libertarian Nomination, which I would have absolutely gotten if I wanted it (as everyone could tell by the enthusiasm of the Crowd last night!), was the fact that, as the Republican Nominee, I am not allowed to have the Nomination of another Party,” he wrote.

Except that, like...

“Now I think you should nominate me, or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” he said on stage. “Only do that if you want to win. If you want to lose, don’t do that.”

Someone should have told Donald that, yesterday.

“The reason I didn’t file paperwork"

Wow, Trump seems to say this a lot, doesn't he? Remember that time he didn't show us his taxes, which were the best taxes ever? Remember that time he paid a whore $130,000 and it was completely fair and legal and bigly and yuge and that's why he didn't show anyone? Remember all those deadlines he missed?

Nah, they call themselves Independents.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
~~ Abraham Lincoln (Gettysburg Address)

A big f-u to Trump on this Memorial Day
