Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Benggaul]

Unrelated: I got a Switch and Breath of the Wild today. Even in normal times, I might not leave the house for 2 weeks.

Enjoy! Really wish I had that option, but thanks to dealing with my injury since June the most I can afford to do is add games to my wishlist and hope they go on sale to, well, like $5 or so. Somehow I doubt I'll be playing Cyberpunk anytime this year.

But in all seriousness, take care of yourself. It's still going to get worse before it gets better.

Yeah, during the holidays, I only spent $56 on myself, gaming-wise. But that was $20 for the Gold version of AC: Origins, $20 for the Deluxe version of AC: Odyssey, $8 for Horizon: Zero Dawn, and $8 for God of War.

Those, plus getting Just Cause 4 for free as one of the PS+ games in December means that I'll have plenty to keep my free time busy for a while.

I bought my girlfriend the MarioKart Switch bundle, too, though, so I'll get around to BotW eventually, I'm sure.


Back on-topic, Lin Wood is certifiable.

Lin Wood is certifiable.

At what point will "just you wait!" stop working on Trump cultists?

Incidentally, if Trump really tried to black out the USA for 10-12 days...again, I think the SS would just shoot him.

He's going to his "THE WALL" on Tuesday, because I guess that's all he has left. His monument to his and America's racism.

Which of the three miles?

[Edge-]

Which of the three miles?

I hope it's the one where he signed his name.

To make sure everyone knows, Amazon kicks Parler off their web hosting services.

Parler will surely try to find another host. One who's willing to take their increasingly insurrectionist terrorist money.

On my phone and can’t link to well.

I’m not following... blackout? Is he saying Trump will cut the power in all the US or something?

He and others have said something about getting 10-12 days of food. So, yes.

[Kaleredar]

I’ve never heard of a President having some kind of ’stop the power’ switch, which turns off all power in the US. I don’t think such a thing is even possible lol

I really doubt it is. They're just saying shit to rile people up.

These are the people that think Trump is playing 5-dimmensional chess and this is all just a grand plan of his and that suddenly he'll declare "king me" and he'll be announced as president.

[Paranoid Android]

I love conservatives calling for nationalizing Twitter, FB, etc. Again this was an attack in the 2020 election about the Dems.

Another good note I would listen and possibly join is conservatives all sudden talking about tech monopolies.

Last but not least. Jeez people. Look where we have come in the past 4 years on this thread. Effin crazy. Still 10 days plus.

[Masark]

I can't imagine Trump has many yes-man lawyers available, tbh.

On that subject:

January 7, 2021

The Undersigned respectfully requests leave of this Court to withdraw as counsel for Plaintiff in this action pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 1.16(b)(3) and (4) inasmuch as the client has used the lawyer's services to perpetuate a crime and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement.

Pope Francis to have COVID-19 vaccine, says it is the ethical choice for all--What's the Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers and "Good Christians"? I'm betting there's about to be a lot of equivocating and faulty justifications coming along soon.

Catholics ain't Christians to a lot of the more evangelical protestants of the kind that support Trump.

[Breccia]

I dunno. Maybe? But let's get past the "can he?" and get to "what happens next?"

1) A group of random-ass separated cult members are going to take over the government...nationwide. With no ability to communicate with each other and no ability to refuel their vehicles. Also no plan.

2) America's enemies, many of them Hispanic, black or Muslim, will sit patiently by and wait while the US experiences a 10-12 day blackout which somehow doesn't get fixed.

3) The seizure is completely legal, the country accepts the takeover without repurcussions, and America's allies accept Trump as the leader of the USA without reservation. Even those countries that normally take a dim view on violent coups. The UN does not send help from dozens, maybe a hundred, countries to stop what might be interpreted as "madman tries to seize nuclear arsenal".

4) Somenow, the COVID vaccines survive for nearly two weeks without refridgeration.

5) The nation's military, sworn to protect against all enemies foreign or domestic, either ignore their vows while a bunch of violent terrorists seize every state, or are somehow outgunned by a bunch of Call of Duty cosplayers. Their fully automatic weapons, heavily armored vehicles, body armor, training, tactics, and vast reserves of supplies are somehow unable to stand up to Bubba Bo Bob Bubba and his civilian shotgun and Wal-Mart camo hoodie.

6) Trump, despite ordering a violent seditious insurrection, is not executed by the law enforcement officers standing next to him at all times.

7) Stores, despite having no power and in the middle of a violent revolution, are open as normal and sell the necessary ammo and beef jerky when asked without issue.

8) Businesses are able to resume after a 10-12 day blackout without any loss of stock, staff, or lives. Even those that deal with raw meat or hosptials.

9) The turnout is actually in the millions upon millions Wood says, despite many Trump supporters being frail old men and many more being farmers with families to feed and protect.

10) And after all of that...the 81 million who voted for Biden choose to sit by and do nothing.

The silliest damned thing about their stance regarding tech companies is that their beef with those companies boils down to "freedom and capitalism".

The moment you suggest socialising the economy, they'll freak out and call you a ratfink commie traitor, though.

They don't have any clue what they actually want.

[Drutt]

OMG, but that's socialist!

....wait, if they're socialists, doesn't that also make them Antifa thugs?

Kevin Sorbo was right!

/s

[Masark]

They don't have any clue what they actually want.

They know exactly what they want.

Freedom for some, oppression and execution for Others.

[Breccia]

I mean, a social media platform run by the government would be an interesting experiment. Probably wouldn't host as many murderous insurrectionists, too.

Tell you what, Republicans, you want to start up one I'll even make an account. Seizing private assets and controlling them? That sounds like socialsm.

Sources with knowledge of the situation tell NBC News

While the vice president and his family were in a bunker in the Capitol, the president did not reach out to check on his safety nor did he condemn those who said the VP should be executed

Oh look. Trump showing there is only loyalty to Trump.

I would normally add Pence's name to the list of "I never thought Trump would turn on me" but I'm four years too late. Remembrer how Flynn lied to Pence about being a foreign agent? But Trump knew? Pence knew within a month where he stood.

[Kaleredar]

I dunno. Maybe? But let's get past the "can he?" and get to "what happens next?"

*ahem* why just allow me!

1) A group of random-ass separated cult members are going to take over the government...nationwide. With no ability to communicate with each other and no ability to refuel their vehicles. Also no plan.

Clearly, the plan is to simply destroy as much government and federal property. Any grander orders Trump will find a way to dessiminate to all the true patriots.

Clearly.

2) America's enemies, many of them Hispanic, black or Muslim, will sit patiently by and wait while the US experiences a 10-12 day blackout which somehow doesn't get fixed.

Clearly the true patriot's behind-someone's barnhouse militia training and stockpiles of guns will allow them to dispense with all of the "inferior races" that might rise up in an attempt to stop their god-ordained take over. Clearly.

3) The seizure is completely legal, the country accepts the takeover without repurcussions, and America's allies accept Trump as the leader of the USA without reservation. Even those countries that normally take a dim view on violent coups. The UN does not send help from dozens, maybe a hundred, countries to stop what might be interpreted as "madman tries to seize nuclear arsenal".

Clearly the aformentioned militia training, stockpiles of weaponry and the US military clearly seeing the light and grouping with the militia under the new Trump regime will be more than enough to repel any number of invading countries. Clearly.

4) Somenow, the COVID vaccines survive for nearly two weeks without refridgeration.

Clearly Covid is, of course, an overblown chinese conspiracy hoax by the democrats. Once they're gone, Covid will disappear. Clearly.

5) The nation's military, sworn to protect against all enemies foreign or domestic, either ignore their vows while a bunch of violent terrorists seize every state, or are somehow outgunned by a bunch of Call of Duty cosplayers. Their fully automatic weapons, heavily armored vehicles, body armor, training, tactics, and vast reserves of supplies are somehow unable to stand up to Bubba Bo Bob Bubba and his civilian shotgun and Wal-Mart camo hoodie.

As previously mentioned, the military will clearly recognize the militia and trump as being righteous and sovereign true patriots, and will put their might fully behind Trump. Clearly.

6) Trump, despite ordering a violent seditious insurrection, is not executed by the law enforcement officers standing next to him at all times.

Clearly these law enforcement officials will be on the side of Trump, recognizing him as the true president of the United States. Trump would never surround himself with people that aren't 100% patriots and loyal to his cause. Clearly.

7) Stores, despite having no power and in the middle of a violent revolution, are open as normal and sell the necessary ammo and beef jerky when asked without issue.

Clearly the true patriots will have supplied plenty of rations to fuel the retaking of the government. Clearly.

8) Businesses are able to resume after a 10-12 day blackout without any loss of stock, staff, or lives. Even those that deal with raw meat or hosptials.

Clearly Trump will reward all aggrieved patriot businesses and pay out his vast fortunes for them to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. The militia will know how to process any and all perishables, and hospitals are for the weak. Clearly.

9) The turnout is actually in the millions upon millions Wood says, despite many Trump supporters being frail old men and many more being farmers with families to feed and protect.

Clearly the righteous cause of Trump's actions will engender all true patriot able-bodied men to take up arms and fight for his cause. Clearly.

10) And after all of that...the 81 million who voted for Biden choose to sit by and do nothing.

Clearly, they are all liberal cucks who don't own firearms and who just whine on tumblr all day pushing the gay agenda. They will be crushed easily by the combined forces of the true patriots and the US military who will have seen the light. Clearly.

See? Their plan is all that easy.





Also, lemme just put a /s in here to be clear. I don't want to wind up on some FBI list.

[Breccia]

In the ongoing bla bla bla two universities that gave Trump honorary degrees rescind them.

The degrees were given in 1988 and 2004 as they often are, bribes to get speakers to attend. They were not given during his tenure in the White House. They were removed due to Trump inciting violence.

I believe he still has his from Falwell, however.

[Nastard]

Hah, yeah a 12 day blackout during a pandemic when more people than ever are hospitalized. It's bullshit of course. The thought of killing thousands upon thousands of Americans just for the ego of one man is so preposterous that... -looks at the previous 10 months- hmm... nevermind.

Anyhow, it's not bullshit because Trump is above it, but because he doesn't have the means. Besides, Breccia's point #6 would invariably happen if he were to try a hostile takeover. There's no way a SS agent who has had to put up with his shit for 4 years wouldn't put an end to it. Just keep in mind that these men have had to sit in rooms with Trump for years as he loudly farted and then repeatedly tried to blame them for each and every one of those farts.

[Breccia]

Also, lemme just put a /s in here to be clear. I don't want to wind up on some FBI list.

Yeah, I really am wondering how Trump would even cause this blackout.

No I'm not. He can't, he wouldn't even if he could because he's a coward, and there's no good ending if he did. It's like asking if your dog will open your gun safe tonight and finally take out that fucking squirrel once and for all.
