Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Kaleredar]

Why would that make sense to have a bias towards one political parties programs?

Clearly, it’s because the democrats are responsible for costly eggs.

[Somewhatconcerned]

In the ongoing effort to prove how much he hates the Constitution, Trump demands 60 Minutes be shut down.

"For what?"

For lying to the public.

"What did they lie about?"

Nothing, actually. They released the Harris transcript to prove it.

"Doesn't Trump lie all the time about everything?"

Yes.

"Isn't he suing them for $10 billion for damages, from the White House?"

Yes.

I'll have to look at the unedited version.

There was one documented example of an overly long, confusing answer Harris gave, re: Gaza, that was edited out. You could argue this was done simply to meet the interview's time constraints vs it was done to help Harris by removing portions of the interview that made her look bad.

Everyone should watch and decide for themselves. I don't think 60 Minutes needs to be taken off the air, but it's 100% ok to call them out for this.

So, remember how I said that people should be worried. This is why.

So, Trump supporters, are you fine with Elon Musk now having backdoors into the Treasury Department payment systems, being able to deny, reroute or otherwise change a payout without any Congressional or even Presidential oversight or even approval and then HIDE the fact him or someone working for him is doing it?

Because that is what that is. A backdoor into the bank vault that if anyone knows about can easily be exploited to STEAL every single penny the US has. A backdoor into the information vault that allows Musk, someone who works for him or another country to steal the personal information, including bank accounts, of EVERY US CITIZEN.

And this is done at the behest of Musk, and by extension, Trump.

You voted for this. So you are as much or even more culpable if any of this happens.

So, I guess Trump and his newly appointed Attorney General bimbo Dumb Blondi, Pam Bondi, thinks that Executive Orders are law. EOs are not law. They never have been law. They only have the force of law within the confines of the government. That means if you have a government contract, they do pertain to you.

Every other private sector entity is literally not bound by any executive order decision. Florida found this out when DeSantis decided to try and squash DEIA throughout the private sector and it got shot down.

This is exactly the reason the First Amendment exists. To protect the speech of anyone against the government trying to take it away.

I hope they don't get hush mouth when they discover the largest benefactor of DEI is wwhite women. Pretty much the only group that benefits from actual DEI.

[Somewhatconcerned]

Why would that make sense to have a bias towards one political parties programs?

Again, audit all of it.

And where there's smoke, there's fire. And there's been an awful lot of smoke revealed from Dems lately.

Oh don’t worry.

I have absolutely no reason to believe that they won’t take every opportunity to throw any non-white men under the bus, white women included, if and when it suits their goals.

I mean I’m sure they’ll try and find a few with piercings or blue hair to throw under the bus first, but remember, those women are just so bossy and hysterical.

[Doomcookie]

TBH, I wasn't expecting the speed at which DOGE would reveal Dem corruption, overreach and the literal house of cards that they built.

The dam is breaking. Expect more Dem voters to walk away. This may end up being a GOOD thing as a new party will need to emerge to take its place. But it will take time.

This is yet another lie.

All it did, was reveal Trump's corruption

[Kathandira]

Again, audit all of it.

If there was smoke, that would mean there was evidence that gave cause to isolate Democrat raised programs. Do you have links that provide evidence of said smoke?

Without any such evidence, you would need to better explain why only Dem programs are being targeted.

[Doomcookie]

You mean, nobody *here* believes this, which is absolutely understandable. Still doesn't make it less true, however.

No, you just got caught lying.

You have yet to prove when or if you stopped lying.

Ideally it should be everything, but makes sense to start there.

Sure, if your goal is to lie and steal.

You mean like all of Trump's criminal actions and bribes?

[En Sabah Nur]

60 Minutes literally posted the transcript of that whole interview, btw...

Fix because honestly, that's the party that doesn't exist right now. It's all Trump and Musk.

And we can have a good laugh with your bad acting.

Kinda hilarious that he just doubled down on things after reading my post.

[Endus]

Of course he can't provide evidence. All he needs is his personal hatred of Democrats and blind, unthinking support for Trump.

So, it is rumored that Musk with the DOGE squad is starting to target NOAA and locking out workers there. You know, NOAA, that nefarious organization that helps predict hurricanes, tornadoes and other weather events. You know, the one your local weather station uses data from to help out with their weather predictions and mapping. That nefarious organization.

https://x.com/ChrisVanHollen/status/1886977650909983175

As of now, just a rumor but it wouldn't surprise me.

Even beyond weather stuff NOAA does quite a bit, they're very important in the Geography space. It'd be awful to do anything to it tbh. It's the perfect thing to privatize if you truly hate your fellow humans.

[Breccia]

Are you saying that NOAA helps predict earthquakes and volcanoes?

[Gabriel]

He’s taking after his main boy Trump: repeat a lie as many times as possible and hope eventually people think you’re telling the truth.

That's never been the point.

These people lie because they get physical pleasure from getting to lie to peoples' faces without the people being able to physically stop them from lying.

I mean, there is a way to physically stop them but if you do it they cry like the little bitches they are.

Oh please. If you were any more transparent, you'd cease to be.

On Tuesday evening, the site listed photos of employees and linked to further information about them under the headline “Targets.” Later Tuesday night, the headline on each page had been changed to “Dossiers.”

Someone defend this, I wanna see a 10/10 gymnastics routine.
