Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

Why should they?



The time of pretension is over. The mask is not needed anymore.

Just in case some retard wants to debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-blank_range

Point-blank range is any distance over which a certain firearm or gun can hit a target without the need to elevate the barrel to compensate for bullet drop, i.e. the gun can be pointed horizontally at the target.[1][2] For targets beyond-blank range, the shooter will have to point the barrel of their firearm at a position above the target, and firearms that are designed for long range firefights usually have adjustable sights to help the shooter hit targets beyond point-blank range. The maximum point-blank range of a firearm will depend on a variety of factors such as muzzle velocity and the size of the target.[3]

So much forum space wasted trying to argue with a grown man crying about Miller rightfully being called hateful. Jesus wept.


Guess this doesn't apply to ICE?

Standing next to burning cars wearing face masks waving Mexican flags in the blueist city in the US is giving the right exactly the fuel they've been looking for.

Um…. Having moderators and being moderated aren’t the same thing.

They don't have to find anything. They can make anything into their fuel. :/

Implying they haven't already just been making shit up to justify their actions.

From what I gather the only thing people were at risk from was the officers.

Uhh

I judge by results. We don't have a President in the White House, either.

Fascist much?

He's conveniently forgotten the other times Trump directly attacked the news, such as suing for the Kamala Harris interview. It would have been only a lame-ass limp-dick IMPOTUS defense if someone hadn't shot at a reporter. Now it's still lame-ass, limp-dick, and IMPOTUS, but also psychotic.

Blueist city in the US? The fuck are you talking about?

There are tons of MAGA Chuds in LA, yea they aren't the majority but nobody that regularly go's to LA thinks of it as some massive blue city. It's not even the "blueist" city in Cali, SF would lap it by miles. Boston, DC, NYC etc all way more left leaning cities.

So they are now shooting at reporters. Taking a lesson out of Israel's rulebook.

they did this last administration

and I believe it was an aussie reporter shot with a rubber bullet as well, back then.

homeboy has never been to LA, never bothered to look at LA voting records, but knows everything there is to know about LA and how they vote

it's fuckin wild how many people are experts on topics they apparently know nothing about

[SAY HER NAME]

Optically it looks bad cuz cars being set on fire is never a good look, but its effective. The message is delivered, people in California at least wont tolerate ICE's nonsense. Which matters a lot more than the optics. That is actual power

Why Trump's deployment of the National Guard to LA is unprecedented

Because I know some were saying this has happened before.

also -

So what the president is doing, he has escalated this into a distraction so that he can remove the debate from his horrendous tax bill - it's giving all these breaks to the billionaires - and taking attention away from the fact that in 2022, during Biden's administration, soybean prices, which are really important to the agricultural economy of this country - soybean prices adjusted for inflation were about $19.50 a bushel. Today, under Trump's tariff plan, they're $10.58 a bushel. Now, what is that going to do to the farm economy, those farmers...

don't forget about donald's disastrous tax bill that he's desperately trying to distract from by creating domestic strife. this is very intentional.

Out of completely idle curiosity, did the Waymo vehicles just get unlucky, or were they burned for any particular relevant reason I may be unaware of?

I dont functionally give a shit if driverless vehicles without passengers owned by a corporation are destroyed.

Im just curious if there was any reason as to "why waymo"?

more NPR reporting on how donald is using "national emergency lol" more than any other president, taking a very authoritarian approach -

The United States is currently dealing with multiple emergencies at once, according to President Trump's administration. There's a national emergency at the southern border, an energy emergency and an economic emergency, to name a few — and the president has used these to enact some of his most wide-reaching policies, from pushing fossil fuel production to seeking to complete the border wall with Mexico and setting steep and sweeping tariffs.

While presidential use of emergency powers has been on the rise in recent administrations, Trump invoked them eight times in his first 100 days in office, more than any other modern president has done in the same period.

and we're not even in a formal state of war

i think donald is just a piss baby who wants power, actually.

Blueist city in the US?

People assume it’s the “blueist city” because it’s in California, has all those “woke Hollywood people” and has a lot of homeless and brown people.

It checks all the boxes that conservatives use to define the “failed liberal hellscape” as it exists in their mind.

ROBERT F KENNEDY JR: When my uncle was president, 3% of Americans had chronic disease. Today, it's 60%.

In reality -

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Kennedy's statistic that 3% of people had chronic diseases when he was a kid is incorrect. In fact, the main things that killed people in that era were chronic diseases.

WOOLF: Two out of three deaths in the United States were caused by three chronic diseases - heart disease, cancer and stroke.

But surely HHS Secretary RFK Jr., who has told people not to listen to him, has an explanation?

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: HHS did not respond to NPR's detailed request to comment for this story, including about the prevalence of chronic disease in the 1960s. Then there's life expectancy, as in the age someone born then could hope to reach. Back in 1960, American life expectancy was 69.7 years, much lower than it is today. Woolf is actually about the same age as Kennedy and remembers a few other things about American health back then.

Just a reminder that every Republican isn't just a liar, but a very, very, very poor liar. Like, incredibly bad. It only works because the Republican base seems to have lost the ability to think critically in any capacity, if many ever had it.

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Today, American life expectancy is 77.5 years. That's nearly 10 years longer than it was in 1960. But life expectancy hasn't improved as much or as quickly here as it has in similar wealthy countries. That is concerning, and there's a lively scientific conversation about the reasons for it. Elizabeth Wrigley-Field is a mortality demographer at the University of Minnesota.

Oh look, we are living longer, too! Just not as long as nations with universal healthcare, of course. We can't figure that out.

WRIGLEY-FIELD: What I feel when I hear him talk about life expectancy, it's like looking through a funhouse mirror onto what a real conversation would look like.

This is the Republican view of reality, warped and unreflective of actual reality.

RFK Jr. is incredibly stupid, incredibly dangerous, and incredibly dishonest.

Trump cannot climb a set of stairs.

"Everyone trips sometimes."

And MAGA cultists had their chance to admit that when Biden was President. Their time to do that has passed. Now, every trip, every slurred word, every closed eyes are signs that Trump is either too old/fat/infirm to be in the WH, or that Trump is also a robot duplicate. No, I haven't forgotten that.
