Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Breccia]

This is what(?) the the 30th time Trump has said this only to then flip back and forth every single week.

It's about 30, or if you're using metric, 30, yeah. Doesn't mean I won't point out every single time the man who said he could do it in 24 hours announces he lied and/or failed.

Because the EU/NATO diplomatic corp spends a week fondling his balls every time he says it...

The idea people "value" their credit cards is insane. It's not a trading card worth something, it's an anchor that drowns people.

If they're drowning, it's not precisely an anchor. It's a leaking lifeboat, which has an anchor. The problem with them is that the immediate safety gets people in and reliant on the boat to not drown, but if they're not actively bailing the boat out to keep the leak under control (making their payments regularly to keep the balance minimal/paid off), the boat's eventually gonna get full (hit the credit limit) and then that anchor's gonna overcome the boat's buoyancy and drag them into the deep.

They value the boat. They're not forward-thinking enough or financially capable enough to manage the boat's flaws until it's too late, and once it starts to sink there's generally no catching back up.

I've been in both spots. I built up too much debt early on in college, and used a credit card to plug some holes, carrying a few thousand. I've had that paid off for years now, but it was a problem for a while. My own creation, by all means. I still value my credit card, and essentially make 100% of my purchases with it (Canada has electronic payment options basically everywhere beyond online purchases), because I get additional bonuses in doing so and pay no additional fees. I just pay it off monthly now and pay zero interest. If you can manage your card, it can be a value-added tool. The problem is when you can't manage it and start carrying a balance.

Man Charged With Shining Laser Pointer At Trump’s Helicopter Acquitted In 35 Minutes

"Wait, why-"

It might literally take longer to explain why this case was so open and shut, than the case itself. Just remember that Team Trump literally failed to indict a sandwich once.

Well, I'll try to explain anyhow, but this just happened and the case was kind of buried. Can't find a lot on them.

Just kidding I'm Chef Fucking Breccia Son, I can find court transcripts of the sandwich testifying.

The accused's lawyer, a public defender, no really I'm not making this up, a public defender showed that the only witness said something different to the grand jury than the regular jury. So, he either lied to the grand jury and there should have been no trial, or he lied to the jury and his client is innocent. When your only evidence is one eyewitness, and that witness is inconsistent, that's not just reasonable doubt, that's laughed out of court. And the judge basically told the jury the evidence was purely circumstantial, so even if the jury had come back with a guilty finding, I don't think it would have stood.

Here is the arrest from September on FOX News *ding* and since Pirro was the lawyer *ding* Yes, I'm double dipping, being on FOX News was literally her only qualification, as demonstrated by a win/loss record that rivals the NFC South. I'll let you read that stinging, that brutal, that "how dare this felon felony felon felon" etc on your own time, but of course, FOX News had to back their own play and the only witness hadn't lied under oath yet.

Trump bought the Nobel Peace Prize. Well, the medal, at least.



She didn't have that going in. Trump purchased it. He couldn't even win a participation trophy.

Honestly, I just want someone from this admin to answer why Greenland is only now so monumentally vital to national security and never ever has been before.

The fearmongering on this isn't exactly their best.

[thilicen]

"Due and payable" lol he still doesn't fucking get it.

[Edge-]

"for purposes unknown"

lmao the retards in this retarded administration keep retarding

[alach]

Ignoring the international opinion, this is just more bad internal politics. Going after Greenland has such a low approval from not just the public, but even sitting Republicans.
I'm convinced at this point he is just stirring the shit anyway he can so he can cause disorder enough to cancel the elections.

[Breccia]

"The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown."

So, which is the best response to this sentence?
A) You're putting tariffs on countries that travel to Greenland? Dude, you sent people to Greenland.
B) You just said China and Russia wanted it. What's wrong with it being defended by allies?
C) Uh, Denmark was already there.
D) If you don't know why they're there, you're even dumber than we thought. And that's saying something.

Yes, exactly!

"Due and payable" is "throw in some money for our troops being there" or something. You know, what he did with NATO. It's not "surrender the entire country to our invading troops" also known as an invasion. You know, what Putin is doing, and this allows him to do.

it does jive - republicans consistently push and support unpopular policies that even their base doesn't like, much less the electorate overall.

[Breccia]

So, if there are any Trump supporters still left on these forums, would anyone care to defend why increasing taxes on the American people is the correct response? I mean, that's what tariffs are, increasing taxes on the American people. We're doing this for Greenland why, exactly? Please, do speak up. We'll all hear you out.

Well, it's been pretty critical since the '50s, what with Russia just over the icecap.

But that's why they set up the Defense of Greenland Treaty in '51. So the US could establish bases in Greenland for that mutual defense and national security.

So they already had the national security issue resolved. For the last 75 years. Trump's just lying, because he's a gluttonous narcissistic moron, and can't grasp that attacking Greenland is national suicide.

Team Trump just keeps lying to grand juries, makes you wonder when these grand juries start getting incredibly annoyed at being lied to...

They should, that's still illegal, you're still under oath. There are two problems, though. One, real people get flustered and/or forget all the time. It's not always worth prosecuting someone for saying something's not true. Two, there's no evidence to say which version was correct, so prosecution for perjury might not get past reasonable doubt on either/or.

Now, that's not a defense. According to the verdict we just got, an innocent man was prosecuted by the handwavable poor testimony of a single unreliable witness. That happening a few scattered times is understandable. A single prosecutor who keeps doing this is trying to make headlines for arrests and hoping nobody cares when their cases are dismissed late at night on a Friday. An entire DOJ doing this is suppression tactics. Honestly, I think the right move is to keep waving these "case thrown out in 35 minutes" results in front of the jury and pollute every case they bring with...well, every case they brought. Maybe Trump and his supporters are too stupid to learn from experience, but juries demonstrably aren't 100% Trump supporters.
