Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[xenogear3]

Extend unemployment duration is useless.
Without $600 extra, the payment is barely pay my $3000 rent.

[Stormspark]

I know people involved in pursuing this case, and some of the shit they're saying to me is surreal.

When do we see people in jail, and war crimes tribunals? I think it's to the point where there should be military intervention from Canada, the EU, and hell even Mexico at this point.

Not until ICE is fucking destroyed and Trump is out of office.


I've been a legal consultant on immigration cases since 2014, after I quit practicing. The Obama years were tough and way too busy for a dude who proclaimed himself to be a DREAMer, but the past 4 years has been......a fucking nightmare.

Oh, speaking of ICE, they've decided to go full blown Gestapo and are now practically gassing detained immigrants by spraying large quantities of disinfectant in unventilated close quarters as a "protective measure" against COVID. A complaint lodged regarding the Adelanto Detention Center stated "at least nine" detainees have experienced severe symptoms from the spray including blisters, rashes, bleeding, fainting, shortness of breath, headaches, stomach pain, and nausea. Multiple detainees complained of a lack of adequate care for the symptoms.

Oh, so they went full Waffen Schutzstaffel. Just out of curiosity, did they spray the inmates with some kind of pesticide, just to be sure?

And also, where are soviets conquering the concentration camps when we need them?

I think it's time for the UK, the EU, and Canada (at least) to recall all their diplomats, expel ours, and break off all diplomatic relations. They can say "get back to us when you have a legitimate government". Until then, classify the US as a rogue state.

[Breccia]

He'll just drop it and move on to the next shiny new toy

The funny part? This was supposed to be the distraction.

We have a lethal virus outbreak for which the only treatment Trump touted is getting "good news" in that it apparently doesn't kill people as badly as we thought it did, there's still no results on his trade deals or peace deals with anyone except the slight nudge from NAFTA 1.0.0.2 the deficit had doubled even last year, the country is an international laughingstock, the economy never showed the growth Trump said was bad, farmers are churning up dust again, NK's launching missiles and building nukes, Russia's making more different nukes, everybody's unemployed (hyperbole) and not only did the tax cut for the rich not pay for itself, basically nobody in the lower 60% of the country saw anything to speak of.

And then.

He's found crying under the bed of his bunker like a little bitch, because of some unarmed civilians who knocked over a few barricades, while he was already inside America's castle behind a goddam mine field.

He lied about it. Nobody believed it.

So he tries to create the image of strength.

He decides to use tear gas (literal or not, it doesn't matter to the people getting gassed) to clear peaceful protesters on camera using force so strong that the Arlington Police said "Fuck this, we're out" at the hands of, apparently, jail guards, TSA members, ICE and maybe hired goons so he can walk six feet, hold up a Bible he hasn't opened at a church he didn't go to...upside down. And he did it with such force and determination, that every living President has spoke up on the subject, as have multiple top brass possibly including Esper, and several members of his own party -- one of whom he has now committed to run against.

This was the deflection. And he Trumped it up.

And not even our own resident members of the rabid fanbase are defending this. They can't. Remember last time when they said "oh, the SS made him because of the barricades"? You know, the defense that was actually right? Trump said that wasn't what happened. So they can't even defend him with the truth anymore. And they know the day, the very day, they dare to stick their heads out from whatever single scoop of ice cream they've been crying into like the cowardly scared mewling children they are, I'm going to ram their words and Trump's right down their figurative throats, and see which one they gag on.

And I'm going to keep doing it, with facts and evidence and the words of their own troops which they claim to support, until the last thing they can type is "I can't breathe".

Or.

They could admit Trump was wrong, and that Trump made a mistake. That's the only other option.

To you and to anyone in your position, you have two chioces:

1) Vote Democrat.
2) Pull yourself up by your bootstraps like a good little Republican.

[pathora44]

I feel so terrible for the likely unpaid interns who will have to watch what comes their way.

I doubt Trump will watch any of those videos but if he does the only ones that will make it to his eyeballs will the most sycophantic and nauseating of them.

To be fair, I would fully expect any famous person who had something like this to have the material pre-screened. But I can't even imagine the gross display of DEAR LEADER those videos will entail.

There going to be like Butters in the Safe Space episode. Butters being forced to filter all the negative comments from Cartman's Twitter feed almost kills him with all the toxic shit. Those poor interns are going to drop like flies.

Well when ICE sees the people detained as less then subhuman so you shouldn't be surprised that they treat the people detained worse then animals.

[Benggaul]

110,173 dead, 1,031 on the 5th (GMT). Trends keep trending.

Oh, also Florida posted its highest ever daily new cases total at 1,419. (Deaths remained at "lol43"). Given we know they're lying about their numbers, that's not good news. Admittedly I haven't been following their testing so I don't know if they've recently ramped it up, but they're under the national average of tests per 1mill population, so I'm gonna go ahead and say increased testing isn't to blame for that blow up in numbers.

I thought we might be under 1k dead per day at this stage given how things were going the past few weeks, but it's looking like the tail of this wave is going to be pretty damned long. As I mentioned before, America appears to be flattening the wrong end of it. I'm beginning to lose hope that the US can avoid a disastrous second wave in the fall, especially in this TRUMP SHITSHOW.

Stay safe, folks.

EDIT: This one seems a little petty, but Twitter really does seem to be fighting a war with Trump.

Within that twitter thread was this



We are like 7.5 maybe 7.75 at this point. Then again considering how our police behave and their backing maybe we just are fully at step 8. What with the deaths and killings and no care for it.

Also cops once confiscated an entire HOUSE from a family under civil forfeiture under suspicious their son had committed a crime...

[Elegiac]

Folks, we just hit a new record. Trump finally oversaw something that possibly no other man could do.

We have an actual Third Amendment invocation as Mayor Bowser is kicking the national guard out of DC hotels.

Trump would be well-advised to let that one go. He did violate the rules, and again, Twitter has Trump's account hostage.

Hey Elegiac, speaking of K-popers, look at the current trending topic of twitter #Qanon

Is full of, again, k-pop shitposting.

a nation or state regarded as breaking international law and posing a threat to the security of other nations.

~Rogue state

We literally are a rogue state...

[Breccia]

Yeah, I'm sure Trump will see reason.

We joke, which makes sense because Trump is a clown, complete with face paint and baggy pants.

But the people around him, yes increasingly yes-men, have got to be telling him that Twitter is his only realistic way to get to the American people. The "Fake News" won't spread his propaganda for him, FOX News is backing away slowly, and Alex Jones has like 20 followers, 3 of which are voices in Alex Jones' head. Trump uses Twitter to, well, lie directly to the American people without the risk of being contradicted. Um...until recently. But still, it's free mass advertising for Trump's favorite brand: Trump.

If Twitter shuts Trump down, which I believe it's in their legal rights to do -- either because he threatened them, or if Trump comes after them and Twitter sarcastically shrugs "Well gosh, I guess we better close down" (400 million screens go dark) -- Trump loses an integral part of his cult-leader hate speech. He's left with the news reporting on his words and actions. Not even God can help him there.

If Facebook is even remotely similar there are going to be a hell of a lot of confused Boomers tomorrow morning.

"I saw on Facebook that BTS and Blackpink were running a socialist drug ring out of the Target in Minneapolis which the riots are a false flag to cover up for!"

I read some of the non kpop related post on that hashtag, and i need my time back. Who the fuck believes these things (and is an actual human).

On a k-pop related note, the blackpink chicks are hella cute.

It's a shame republicans forgot about every amendment but the second.
