Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Ursus]

I thought I heard a dem from NJ talking and it sounded like he was not for impeachment, not sure if he was the 1 who did not vote or if he did vote for impeachment afterall and I just misinterpreted his speech.

I believe all Dems voted for impeachment. Maybe it was Jeff Van Drew, the douchebag ex-Dem turned Trump sycophant? He is from NJ.

4,098 deaths

Yep, we're doing this now.

(sigh)

Yeah, this is what everyone wanted. The vaccine distribution to get Trumped up while we get record-setting deaths on a daily basis.

[Mormolyce]

It's rather predictable that most of our right wing Trumpers have completely disappeared from this forum, probably licking their wounds in shame.

This happens every time there's a big breakout of particularly bad news for their side. The need to wait for their propaganda outlets to come up with spin for them to mindlessly repeat.

You don't expect conservatives to think for themselves do you? That's practically a contradiction in terms.

[DingDongKing]

Not entirely true, a decent number of them are actual true believers and lunatics.

There’s less true believers than there are cowards who just desperately want the power.

[Mormolyce]

Imagine throwing your life away to "fight for Trump" at the Capitol and then he just hangs you out to dry in a feeble attempt to get unbanned from Twitter.

He told them in that speech that he'd be right there with them. But then he went back to his room and jacked it to the idea of people invading the Capitol in his name. Or as his aides put it:

Trump aides gave up trying to communicate with him in the attack on the US Capitol, calling him 'mentally unreachable,' reports say

I wonder if any of those deluded cultists even noticed that he failed to go with them like he said. Or that he addressed them from behind bulletproof glass lol.

"Clears throat." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Another record made by the Trump presidency, and its my favorite by far. Double impeachment champion.
On a side note, let's hope there is more spine in the senate than in the house. I mean, seriously guys. You are impeaching him because he put YOUR lives in danger. Why are you still supporting him? HOW are you still supporting him? His large rump is going to make you collapse any second now.

I just wished I could hop on twitter to see his reaction. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to laugh even harder. BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Corvus]

And Trump is silent on the matter for....what reason?

Your guess is as good as mine. It was just a report I read on a news media article and I really didn't want to go down that rabbit hole to find out why the Trumpsters would think that.

Wouldn't be surprised if many are still defending him in the house and senate because 3/4 of their voter base (republicans) still believe Trump legit won.

[Corvus]

Man, Trump's going to have to start an Onlyfans to get his propaganda out at this rate.

I need bleach for my mind now.

Given the financial problems headed his way, he may be forced to pimp out his kids and wife on onlyfans. No doubt he wants to be the photographer.

It's been repeatedly discussed that Trump basically tried to make ICE his personal goon squad. Doesn't seem to have worked. However, as violence breaks out in DC and Trump finds himself surrounded, the head of ICE took to the podium to announce

I don't exist

Right, shoulda seen that coming. Well the acting head of ICE had this to say:

I don't exist either

"How long did that one last?"

Two weeks. He was Trump's sixth director.

"How many were acting?"

All six. The Senate never confirmed any of them.

"I thought there were rules about--"

That would require Trump to care or the Senate to enforce. Neither of that happened.

Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states. They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election.

Imagine thinking this guy was going to pay you.

By the way, the "Trump refused to pay Giuliani" story is on CNN and independently on WaPo.

One White House adviser told CNN that "everybody's angry at everyone" inside the White House, with the President being upset because he thinks people aren't defending him enough.

"He's in self-pity mode," the source said, with Trump complaining he's been under siege for five years and he views this latest impeachment as a continuation of that.

But many people close to Trump view the current situation as different than his first impeachment, when he was charged with pressuring the government of Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden to try and influence the presidential election.

"His actions led to here, no one else," the White House adviser said, adding, "He instigated a mob to charge on the Capitol building to stop the certification, he's not going to find a lot of sympathetic Republicans."

Despite efforts to boost rollout, vaccination rates fail to meet demand

Trump, whose erratic leadership during the pandemic affected his re-election bid, had vowed that 20 million people would be immunized by the end of 2020.

But as of Wednesday, 27.7 million doses of coronavirus had been distributed, with just 9.3 million people receiving their first shots, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccination tracker.

At this point, "Operation Warp Speed" is asking "would it help if I got out and pushed?"

"Oh come on, this is a brand new disease and --"

Did Trump make promises that weren't kept?

"...yes."

Then he gets to own things not living up to his promises.

Besides the whole "state charges" angle, it's worth noting that lots could happen to Giuliani that pardons don't apply to. Losing his license, for example. Or being ridiculed indefinitely.

[Xarkan]

And Trump is silent on the matter for....what reason?

Because he cannot tweet about it?

[Breccia]

Because he cannot tweet about it?

Considering the conspiracy revolves around an official WH tweet, this doesn't actually work.

It's a stupid, nonsensical theory.
1) The deepfake video would have to be released on this official account.
2) Then, Trump would have to be blocked from using this same offical account to decry it as fake.
3) And the WH press pool.
4) And FOX News.
5) And just telling people in the White House "Whoa! That's not me! We've been hacked! You should tell Twitter that's a fake and it needs to be taken down!"
6) And everyone else, including his family, would also have to be blocked from telling anyone in any way.
7) Or, Trump would have to be okay with it, in which case, why have a deepfake?
8) Or, somehow, the entire nation would have managed to not tell Trump there's a deepfake of him coming from an official account, and his aides, and his faimly.
9) And through all of this, it would also require Trump to not just allow violence, but to encourage it. While not only being impeached but about to leave the WH where he can be arrested or shot.

There is no rational, understandable, or even crazy explanation. It's word salad mixed with excrement.

WOW 8 trillion dollars in debt so far for trumps first term in raw debt to the penny numbers

Took obama 8 years to get to 9.3 trillion.



holy fucking crap.


Geeze if he just sent out those mask in the USPS.....

Oh look. Anti lgbt stuff in the way out.

Under the new Health Department rule, taxpayer-funded adoption agencies can refuse to acknowledge same-sex marriages and turn away qualified LGBTQ parents.

Clearly, those masks would have cost the government too much money!

They are on the way out. Biden will toss these last-minute "fuck America" executive orders immediately. Adoption agencies almost certainly know this and would be foolish to make any significant changes.

The Republican Party has found yet another way to defend Trump.

1) Refuse to reconvene before Jan 20th.
2) Claim the Senate can't impeach a private citizen.

"But they could still str--"

Sen. Cotton is arguing that the Senate lacks the authority, which is just a way to vote "No" while claiming to be a member of the Party of Law and Order. Yes, he's leaving out the part where his party conveniently chooses to let the deadline pass, then stand by clutching their pearls. "If only something could be done," he'll say, "oh woe is me, oh woe, alas, alackaday."

- - - Updated - - -

With the deadline already passed and Biden about to take control, the Census Bureau just gives up looking at citizenship entirely.

Basically, Trump waited too long to do all that stuff he promised. So many things have failed -- he has 3 miles of Wall, no health care plan, no balanced budget, no respect from the world stage -- but these last few days, we've seen some rushed attempts to break more things on the way out the door, but so rushed they, too, failed. He can't even execute a federal prisoner. But this? He was elected three full years before the data would be collected. This isn't just incompetence, this is embarrassing.
