Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[postman1782]

Cry more! hahaha

The only one crying is you, and I get infracted all of the time, so fuck off.

As a Liberal I can only praise Trump for these past weeks. It's been amazing.

You do know your posting history is public right? We know you aren't a liberal.

- - - Updated - - -

From my perspective that is a weird question to ask. Trump's presidency so far is basically every Liberal's wet dream..

No it isn't. Its a fucking nightmare.

HUGE cheers for him when shown at the SB.

No he didn't.

[gondrin]

Hey, here is something the President CAN actually do. Man, the first time for everything.

What it is about isn't something I am a big fan of but still, the White House is actually doing something that is within their right under Article 2 to do.

https://www.courthousenews.com/white...n-regulations/

Granted, it is about gun control regulation and that is a different topic which SHALL NOT BE DISCUSSED HERE. While I don't agree with the whole loosening up of gun regulations, at least he isn't violating the US Constitution or molesting the flag or making a big show out of like naming February 9th "Gulf of America day". Yes, that did happen and he did it on his way to the Superbowl on Air Force 1.

[Attackrabbit]

What values did Trump help bring forward from a liberals perspective then? Cause this is def a take that I haven't heard.

From my perspective that is a weird question to ask. Trump's presidency so far is basically every Liberal's wet dream..

It's like asking Dribbles to name a Brexit benefit ^^

[Cthulhu 2020]

Welcome to the Banana Republic of MMO-Champion, where selective enforcement of the rules, blatant double standards, and moderation not directed at keeping the discussions fair but at policing narratives are the way of life. Of course, this thread will be deleted in a few minutes, instantly perma-banning my account-the moderators pat themselves on the back after another well-executed work of successful censorship.

But before they scramble to delete this, let’s take a deep dive into the staggering level of hypocrisy, bias, and outright corruption within the moderation team—specifically @Flarelaine & @Rozz, the political forum moderators, and @Tziva, who I’ve had multiple conversations with. Buckle up, because we’re about to expose everything.

1. The Moderation Team is a Left-Wing Safe Space
Let me make one thing clear: this forum is not moderated in a fair way. It is moderated to coddle left-wing users and muzzle those who disagree.

✔ Left-leaning posters can do and say anything.
✔ Right-leaning posters get infractions for daring to challenge the narrative.
✔ Personal attacks, obscene comments, and outright harassment are ignored-if they come from the right people.

Who's Responsible? @Flarelaine & @Rozz – The political forum moderators who have allowed unchecked rule-breaking by left-wing posters while disproportionately targeting conservative users. @Tziva – Admitted the forum is poorly moderated, yet does nothing to fix it. @Edge – A mod who responded to legitimate concerns with “Cool story, bro.” Yes, that is the level of professionalism we’re dealing with.

These biased moderators have made the forum an echo chamber, where only one side can express themselves.

2. The Receipts: Selective Enforcement and Double Standards
This isn't an opinion-this is supported, in fact, by several months of examples of outright hypocrisy in moderation. Let's look at just a few instances:

December 3, 2024 – "Rules? Only When Convenient"
I got an infraction for "baiting", but these comments were left on with no action taken:
@Doomcookie: "YOU SUPPORT RAPISTS!!! YOU ARE A RAPIST." @Surfd: calls me a "fukwit." @fwc577: "Trump's dick is so far down my throat it's coming out my ass."
Multiple reports were ignored. Only after I escalated it to a super moderator did anything happen. How is that fair enforcement?

November 9, 2024 - "Satirical Commentary is a Problem, But Frothing Rants Are Fine"
I posted a satirical take on the economy.
✔ Instant infraction for "word salad."
✔ Meanwhile, others were ranting, calling Trump voters "cultists," and making fact-free emotional arguments.
✔ None of them were moderated.

Explain that one, @Flarelaine.

November 4, 2024 - "Reporting Rule Breakers Gets YOU Punished"
I reported clear personal attacks, including:

"People who voted for Trump are cultists."
"You support a rapist."
What happened? I got infracted for 'excessive reporting.' Instead of punishment for actual rule-breakers.

✔ You report abuse: YOU are the problem.
✔ Don't report, and that's on you, I suppose.
✔ Actual rule-breakers, post away without problems.

October 14, 2024 – "The AI Infraction That Wasn't"
Infracted over AI-generated content.
✔ A few days later, overturned - because there is no such rule.
✔ They literally issued the punishment first, then realized they had no reason to.

This isn't moderation-this is knee-jerk incompetence at its finest.

3. The Appeals Process is a Joke
If you think the appeal system exists to ensure fairness, you're dead wrong. Here's what actually happens:

✔ 99% of appeals are ignored outright.
✔ The few that get responses are met with copy-paste dismissals.
✔ Moderators never take any blame, no matter how crystal clear the evidence is.

Even Tziva, who at least tries to keep an illusion of professionalism, admitted that moderators don't even have time to enforce the rules fairly.

Okay, so let's put it all into context:
✔ They refuse to consistently enforce the rules.
✔ They refuse to fairly review reports.
✔ They refuse to acknowledge mistakes.

What exactly do these moderators do besides protecting their ideological allies?

4. Edge's Unprofessionalism – A Case Study in Moderator Arrogance
Perhaps one of the most brazen examples of how unserious and biased this moderation team is comes from Edge, a mod who responded to legitimate concerns with:

✔ "Cool story, bro."

Yes, that is a real response from a so-called moderator.

✔ A user points out blatant moderation bias.
✔ The response from the moderation team? Mock them.

If that is the level of professionalism that we get from this forum, no wonder nobody takes it seriously anymore.

5. What's Next?
We all know what is going to happen:
This post will be deleted.
I will be banned.
Flarelaine & Rozz will high-five each other for "handling" the problem.

And in doing so, they will prove every single point I've made.

✔ If they had nothing to hide, this discussion would stay up.
✔ If they were actually fair, they'd enforce rules equally.
✔ If they had self-awareness, they'd acknowledge their own bias.

But instead, they'll delete this post, act like it never happened, and keep doing their selective enforcement like the cowardly, unaccountable mods they are.

6. Why This Forum is Dying
This is not a forum for open discussion; it is a carefully contrived echo chamber in which the rules serve only to police one side of the debate.

✔ If you're Left, say what you will.
✔ If you're Conservative, hound, harass, and infract.

Forums like this die from blatant bias.

Mods are not here to enforce the rules but to protect their viewpoints.

This forum is not fairly moderated; it's moderated to protect one side and silence the other.

This post will likely never be seen because it will be deleted as soon as possible. But everyone who has been watching these double standards in real life already knows the truth.

And that truth is, this forum is about bias enforcement, not rule enforcement.

I will take my ban now from the clown show.

You seem really mad for someone who says everyone else is mad. But it's not really a surprise you can't follow the rules, Trump nor his supporters have ever really paid attention to rules and laws. They pay lip service to law and order but when it comes time to stand and deliver they're the first one to break the laws.

A rapist and likely pedophile (the guy was best friends with Epstein for 20 years, and if his name wasn't all over the Epstein lists he'd have released the list by now) is in the white house and you're trying to act all happy that people are mad about that.

In a sane world everyone SHOULD be mad that a rapist pedophile felon is tripling the price of groceries and stuffing his own pockets with taxpayer money, but MAGA never cared about any actual policy, they didn't want the country to be run better, they didn't want America to remain a dominant super power which ensures access to well priced goods from around the world for its citizens. MAGA wants to be North Korea, shut off from the rest of the world, starving civilians, mono-culture (theirs) and worshipping a god king, the exact opposite of what the founding fathers envisioned for this country.

[Edge-]

or making a big show out of like naming February 9th "Gulf of America day". Yes, that did happen and he did it on his way to the Superbowl on Air Force 1.

This is at least the kind of utterly pointless, harmless, masturbatory bullshit I can ignore.

[Voidwielder]

Imagine having to go through a major constitutional crisis with Trump and Musk as the leaders of your country.

Fixed. You didn't even need that middle portion to remind us how bad we've got it...

[Milchshake]

This is the Superbowl America needed.

[gondrin]

So, in an effort to basically shut down actual Western influence around the world, Musk wants to shut down 2 very predominant US ran radio stations that broadcast in countries that typically do not have anything more than a government ran one or none at all.

Granted, they are broadcasting US based programs and propaganda but still. A LOT of people listen to these 2 stations around the world.

Didn't watch it. Why is that?

So, because the MAGA and crypto crowd are masochists and love to be scammed, Trump made $100 million in trading fees while 800k people lost $2 billion in his scam coin. Man, tired of losing yet MAGAts?

https://www.thedailybeast.com/more-t...mps-meme-coin/

And the best part is he is trying to get his cronies that he put in charge of the SEC to roll back regulations pertaining to this type of stuff.

So, yes, we will probably be in, at a minimum, a tariff and a trade war with Canada and the rest of the world because Trump is the dumbest man alive here in less than a month.

As I said earlier, Canadians, find another trading partner. And quickly too. Because he most definitely will not back down from this.

[Breccia]

Let Trump continue to tilt at this windmill. Canada will never go for it, and Trump won't launch an invasion because some SS member will shoot him.

At least it's a straightforward defense of spending. I was getting a little tired at going after the people tasked with cutting and gutting, and how they were doing it. America needs the straightforward defense. So in 2026, they can point at Trump and say that American taxpayers should spend their money on Radio Free Europe and Voice of America, because its dollars well spent.

And, assuming its defunded, American voters will have a chance to tell Trump they're sending representatives to Congress that will demand the money be spent in those ways, under threat of impeachment or the appropriations process. (And "the people you picked to cut wasteful spending and bring transparency did a bad job of it and were badly chosen and vetted" too)

On the bigger topic of USAID, I'm more in line with Rubio:

On the bigger topic of USAID, I'm more in line with Rubio:

On that topic of USAID, I am all for holding departments outright accountable for where the money goes from them. If Rubio makes good on that promise, then great. As that is accountability and every department should literally have what they spent, where they spent it and how it got there minus any national security issues, literally available to see online at any point in time. And yes, Departments do report directly to the President and can be asked or outright demanded to explain why is X being spent on Y by the President or the Vice President.

But the reality is that they wanted to go guns blazing and then pick up the pieces afterwards and honestly, you don't do that. The secrecy behind Musk is the biggest problem. Mark Cuban is basically calling him out on it. Quite a few people are. The fact he is getting pissed off at the fact he has to explain himself TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC should literally get him kicked out. As that is a major red flag.

The other problem is the departments they are targeting at first. USAID, compared to the DoD via the Pentagon, literally has FAR more waste. But that is a far harder target to get to be cut down as that does directly affect MANY Republican Congresspeople and they will fight back against that. And there is the issue of him targeting departments that actively were investigating him. That is another big red flag. Another big flag is Musk, not the Secretary of that department, was directing security to not let in ELECTED OFFICIALS that had proper clearance to go into those departments. And was using the force of law to do that as they also called the US Marshals in. Massive red flag.

Yes, there is waste. A shit ton of it. And the way Trump, via Musk, is doing it is the absolute worst way. And until he is kicked out of there and put in jail, I will not be happy as he and DOGE needs to be held accountable for any laws that have been broken.

During the Superb Owl Trump tweets we will stop printing pennies (link to reddit with the tweet so you don't have to go to x or pedophiletruth). While that was bound to happen eventually, as we spend far more to make them than they are worth, you have to wonder why Trump is saying it as, but making pennies is near nothing that would help get any budget under control. What is he looking to distract from?

tbh I'm on board with this just being a weird, petty quirk and the dude simply doesn't like Pennies.

[gondrin]

You agreeing with anyone means that no one should agree with them. You're a piss poor judge of character.

Honestly, if you watch the video, I can see why people would agree with Rubio. Basically, USAID is supposedly spending funds not according to how it was appropriated by Congress to do so. And supposedly keeping everyone in the dark about it. Which should never happen as they are a taxpayer funded official Department of the State Department. Mind you, don't know if any of this is true or not.

Honestly, we need to stop printing pennies. They don't serve any purpose anymore. Just get rid of them and the Nickle, round everything up or down(make a law stating this is required) accordingly and call it a day. I understand that there will be those that think they will be taken and businesses will "reap the benefits" but honestly, no they won't. Unless you are doing hundreds of millions of transactions per day, even if it were rounded up at the maximum possible amount, it won't amount to much of much outside of a rounding error. And because less and less people actually use cash, it is even a less of an issue anymore. And unless you are doing thousands of transactions per year in cash, most everyone would be out is a few dollars at best if it were to be rounded up each time.

If he was actually trying to better things, sure, good idea, this was going to happen at some point, but when Trump says something remotely sensible you can only wonder why.

Why on Earth would anyone believe anything a member of the Trump administration is claiming without abundant, verifiable evidence?

I don't like saying a conspiracy theory is accurate but there is some very odd stuff in that thread. 80+ counties flipped and not a single one flipped to Harris that's odd to say the least. Every single swing state won above above auto recount levels something that has been done since Regan.

That is why I also put down that everything they are doing is suspect since they tried to keep what they are doing in the dark instead of being in the open. Now, it doesn't matter if they are telling the truth anymore as everything they do will be looked at with skepticism.

The problem is they would still have to deploy that across a lot of area and get access to the tabulators. The other issue is if a recount was pushed to be done, it would absolutely break this scam.

Not saying that it can't happen, just that the amount of variables is far too many and far too wide an area. I mean, if there is any funny business, petition the secretary of states in the states where people think there is funny business and have them audit the machines and see if this script is in there. If it is, then there should be big investigations made and charges brought up.

Otherwise, it is the same thing that was brought up in 2020 by Trump.
