Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Breccia]

Judge temporarily blocks Trump’s National Guard deployment in Portland

"Okay, but what if Trump just does it anyhow?"

I really hope he doesn't, and here's why:

1) Trump is a coward. Trump might act like he has no limits to his power, but he does not want to try the patience of SCOTUS right now. Ordering full uniform, full weaponry, US military troops to act on US taxpayer unarmed civilians when there is no emergency could be viewed as an impeachable offense, but worse for Trump, could be all SCOTUS needs to actually start ruling against him. SCOTUS knows full well how useless they are in a full-on dictatorship. It is in their best interest to remain relevant.

2) Trump just looked his entire top brass in the eye. None of them blinked. He does not have their full cultist support, and he knows that.

3) US military have no obligation to obey an illegal order, and in fact, are dutybound to reject them. As of now, that order is illegal. Within 24 hours of the aforementioned speech, one top officer resigned and one was fired. He gives a blatantly illegal order, in public, on purpose, he'd be basically authorizing a full-scale revolt.

Now, in a lot of cases, having 10-50% turnover between officers and troops might be something he could survive. Trump is provoking wars in the Middle East, with Venezuela, and with Russia. Trump, basically, needs a war to distract the American people from the damage he's personally done. Hardly a new tactic. But those wars would at least be legal, and those wars would at least have broader support. If he neuters the armed forces and drives what's left into chaos, what will the rest of the world do, when we'll have trouble sticking our nose in? Or hitting back? Russia might not go as far as to nuke us or invade Alaska, but they'd push harder into Ukraine knowing NATO can't count on us. Israel might swallow nervously while looking around. Venezuela would laugh maniacally and flip us off. And China would just smile and nod.

And at this point, who is willing to enlist, knowing they'd be called to bear arms against unarmed American civilians, who has not enlisted already?

Trump has bigger problems than Portland. The coward he's proven to be again and again should just get a TACO and continue with the National Guard, 29 days at a time, like before.

I mean what else do they really have? They support a pedophile. Having a hard on for things 10 years old is kind of their thing.

Fucking hell, I was in the middle of drinking when I read this.

Putin goes in front of the cameras, kind of, and tells Trump not to sell weapons to Ukraine.

Speaking in a video clip released on Sunday, Putin warned that a decision by the United States to supply long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for strikes deep into Russia would destroy Moscow's relationship with Washington.

"This will lead to the destruction of our relations, or at least the positive trends that have emerged in these relations," Putin said in a video clip released on Sunday by Russian state television reporter Pavel Zarubin.

And Trump appears to be listening.

Trump on Sunday said Russian President Vladimir Putin's offer to voluntarily maintain limits on deployed strategic nuclear weapons "sounds like a good idea."

Putin is reducing nuclear weapons. Sure he is.

To be fair, I don't know how many Tomahawks the US has to spare. But I do know those things have a ridiculous range. If Ukraine had one, they could hit pretty much any spot in Russia. Kiev and Moscow are 500 miles apart. Tomahawks can cover triple that.

Trump renews health hopes- I mean concerns because of an interview he did with Jake Tapper, but instead of in person or over the phone he did it through texts. What's stranger still is that his answers to questions came at weird times.

He once again, during the "interview" said that Hamas will be obliterated if they don't work something out. Much of the article is various Twitter responses, but that's the main gist of the hopes he's getting worse and dies soon.

I'd love to see him fully incapacitated just to see the gop refuse to remove a vegetable cause they are too scared of being shot by Republicans.

Nah, I'm not getting my hopes up again until I see that fucker's obituary.

No, not about health.
If he is in live communication he says moronic shit and no one can stop him. If its via texts he can have someone looking over his shoulder scolding him and telling him to not send a particularly bad text. Kind of like a disapproving mom.

exactly! like bill and hillary clinton

thoughts on the moon landing?

I think that means you are trying to compare the Moon landing to your justification of rape, pedophilia, and suspected couch fucking?

Things are SO BAD in PORTLAND OREGON that apparently donald is sending California's National Guard because he can't deploy Oregon's. CA is suing.

But I guess the emergency/invasion at the southern border is over? been a long time since we heard anything about it, now that I think about it

[PfeffermintShake]

Helloo California National Guard , have you met the Wizard Frog of Burnside?



He has friends everywhere.

[gondrin]

...you think anyone here is defending the Clintons?

You're almost as out of touch as the tangerine tyrant lol

That is the thing.

If it came out Bill Clinton actively participated in Epstein's child exploitation, outside of some sycophants, very few people would defend him. Most on the left would call for him to be jailed at a minimum.

As of now, the same cannot be said for Trump supporters because every time something comes out that shows that Trump and Epstein were close friends and shows that Trump potentially participated in those same things Epstein was charged with, they make excuse after excuse.

Nah, I'm not getting my hopes up again until I see that fucker's obituary.

Right now, this administration would just "Weekend At Bernie's" him. Because without Trump, the MAGA movement would literally fracture as the rest are power hungry and would actively start to backstab each other.

I mean, even over something like the Epstein files, that is what is happening. Imagine when it is on something of a far larger scale.

The organization, an offshoot of the World Naked Bike Ride group, made the announcement in an Instagram post on Wednesday, writing, “Emergency World Naked Bike Ride coming up in response to the militarization of our city. Plans are being worked on.”

Truly, a warzone. Portland is continues to show why they earn their reputation.

"Oh my god, they are showing us their ass while riding bikes. DEFCON 1 initiated."

I mean, they will be on bikes and we all know ICE cannot even deal with one person on a bike. There is actual video evidence of this.

And it doesn't stop there. He's sending the Texas National Guard into Illinois according to Governor Pritzker.

He doesn't say it's a crime. Nor that you'll be tried. Just that you'll spend a year in prison.

Welcome to fascist authoritarianism, where the old rules don't matter and whatever the Fuhrer says goes. The only way this stops is if Congress and SCOTUS step up to give Trump a firm "fuck off, fascist" response. Good luck with that when both are already controlled by Republicans.

It should also be noted that the Republicans are blocking the swearing in of the new Arizona Democratic congresswoman who won the special election in Arizona.

The only silver lining is that almost 30 Republicans are retiring so there's almost no way they can hold the House in 2026.

IIRC she pledged to vote for releasing epstein flies so mike is doing everything he can delay. Just like the early recess.

Very normal domestic terrorism here. Nothing at all terrifying about this. Nothing ever happens! https://www.reddit.com/r/news/commen...nvestigated_3/

Voted against giving the feds voter id, house blows up the next day. Dog whistling from Miller ensues. Definitely normal behavior!

If there isn’t a possibility the terrorist was trans or gay or knew someone that was, the right wing won’t care.

So what does Trump's White House have time for? Is it working on the ever increasing inflation, energy prices, or working on the actual wars that Trump can't solve? No, of course not, they're spending time trying to insult SNL because they made fun of Trump.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson has issued a response following Saturday Night Live’s (SNL) Season 51 premiere. The long-running NBC comedy series opened its new season with a sketch mocking President Donald Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr. The parody prompted a sharp reaction from the administration hours after the episode aired.

The White House responded to NBC’s Saturday Night Live after its Season 51 premiere on October 4 mocked President Donald Trump and FCC Chair Brendan Carr. “Reacting to this would require me to waste my time watching it,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Entertainment Weekly. “And like the millions of Americans who have tuned out from SNL, I have more entertaining things to do — like watch paint dry.”

The premiere featured James Austin Johnson reprising his role as Trump, interrupting the cold open to claim he could cancel SNL if it became too critical. “I’m just here keeping my eye on SNL. Making sure they don’t do anything too mean about me,” Johnson said, before warning, “They better be on their best behavior, otherwise they’re going to have to answer to my attack dog at the FCC, Brendan Carr.”

Why get the FCC involved? Last time they did anything they made the shows they went after even more popular.

South Park has been brutalizing them lately, but they don't say shit about it because they know they would lose that fight. The big networks seem to have no problem rolling over.
