Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Dontrike]

Well the white house made it clear once again that its fine promoting lies as long as it supports their agenda.

Sarah Sanders: Whether it's a real video, the threat is real and that is what the president is talking about

It's like he's seeing how low he can go before being kicked out or not being elected, like this is some experiment to see how dumb people are to keep supporting him.

It's clear that this administration doesn't give a shit about how they look to anyone, including the other world leaders, as long as they keep their hardcore fanbase happy. Why don't they just start rounding up Muslims and putting them in camps? Clearly all Muslims are evil in their eyes and they don't give a shit what other people's opinions are.

Dutch media reported the guy who did it is neither an immigrant or muslim.

Of course not, but facts don't matter anymore. If it riles up the trumptards into an anti-muslim frenzy so that Trump's agenda can be pushed, who cares if it's real. Sarah Sanders said as much.

Here's a link to the stories behind the videos.

For those who can't click. 1st video the dude is neither an immigrant or Muslim, so fake news. 2nd video was during the Egypt riots a few years ago and the guy responsible was executed. 3rd video was also from 2013 and the source is unverified.

“Ok its fake, but it’s the kind of things they do” is an incredibly dangerous and disgusting defense.

It’s the same defense anti-semites use when shown that the protocols of the elders of Zion is fake.
Actually it’s the same defense any racist has when they’re proven wrong.

Trump believes he would have performed better in election had he never acknowledged Obama's birth in US, I'm told by source. https://t.co/DGbDEtJhGv

Just cannot fight off that good ole racism. Plus he knows who's his base.

Rumors are growing that the GOP will 'punt' government funding issues until January, apparently afraid of shutting down the government during Christmas.

Trump is trying to push a conspiracy that Joe Scarborough murdered his intern in Florida years ago.

Something had to have happen between yesterday and today for him to go off the railings like this. Something we probably don't know about yet, but this is even a little insane for him when you put it all together. Linking 3 Islamophobic conspiracy videos? Gleeful attacks on daytime show hosts for sexual misconduct? Digging up old conspiracy theories? I mean, usually he'll pick one, maybe two of those to do in a day.

Trump's conspiracies usually contain a truth about himself...

OMG! Who did he murder?



I see what you're doing CNN

[Blur4stuff]

It very well could be something happened. He usually tries to distract us with ridiculous crap for that reason.

We may not even know what it is right away, though. Manafort's house was raided right before he suddenly decided to ban transgender from the military without actually consulting the military. We didn't find out about it until later, but Trump probably assumed it would hit the news that day.

Reports coming out that Kushner is talking to Mueller. Bet you it's that.

Has to be more than that, usually we don't hear about the actual triggering event until months later.

Edit: Oh hell, so he went after Theresa May on Twitter (twice, because he tagged the wrong one first...again), continued the "deep state" conspiracy because he can't stop watching Fox News and I guess they were talking about it, claimed the "only" people who didn't like it don't understand it or are "Obstructionist Democrats" (he likes capitalizing random words that don't need to be capitalized) and had a cry about it, more Fox News bullshit, and then cried about the national debt because he doesn't actually understand why it increased.

Something really triggered him today.

Kushner was interviewed last month.

Kushner was interviewed last month.

I'm aware of that, but then we'd likely be able to tie something to that timing last month then, as we did with the Manafort warrant timing to one of his other freakouts and explaining it.

The shoe dropped on something this week, we just haven't heard the "thud" yet.

That has to be illegal in some way to just accuse someone of killing someone else. I mean holy shit, I can't believe anyone finds his behavior in any normal....or okay....or sane. If a normal person did this we'd call them a loon and ignore them and yet we have people putting him in the highest position in the country and praising him for this shit.

[Felya]

I don’t want to start a thread on this, because it being political is already stupid. But, as a random post in a shit show thread? Why not?

Report: NFL, player group reach agreement on league support of social-activism causes

The deal calls for the league and teams to commit $90 million to $100 million toward caused deemed important by the players with a focus on African-American communities. The agreement will run from its inception to 2o23. It will need final approval from team owners to go into effect.

However, the agreement probably won’t end the protests. Eric Reid of the San Francisco 49ers and Michael Thomas of the Miami Dolphins announced they were splitting from the Jenkins/Boldin group because they felt it no longer spoke on their behalf. Just because an agreement has been reached with one group doesn’t necessarily mean the entire group of players protesting will feel obligated to end their demonstrations.

Oh man, the Britain First idiots are not trying to scrub their pro-Russian past from the internet, forgetting that you can't actually do that.

These mental midgets are definitely playing chess on the same level as Trump.

Where's @Ransath now saying that Trump isn't pro-Putin?

Morning Joe found at least one thing Trump has in common with Reagan.

They both have dementia.

So, there's something called Trade Adjustment Assistance, a program to help people whose jobs are lost due to foreign trade -- outsourcing labor, cheap imports, that kind of thing. In the last five years, on average, 87,500 people filed for help.

Under Trump, it's 93,000 this year. That's a six percent increase right there.
