The Trump Presidency : Part 2

RedSky said:
It's sound strategy though. By using those arguments as part of an assassination attempt it means that it's an easy way to debunk the arguments from Trumps perspective. He can simply turn it around on the interviewer as he always does and attack them claiming they're putting his life at risk by spreading malicious lies.

It seems bizarre to me that:

1. The perp went in there with no plan other than to sprint.
2. The perp wasn't immediately gunned down.

It's not even like they had good security. Surely if you were preparing to throw your life away you'd at least have a plan to achieve your objective.

I don’t disagree. I just don’t think it’s consistent with his narcissistic personality.

If he staged it it would read something like ”I couldn’t handle that the president was winning so much and making all the countries lose every day”

Not sure how i feel about all the false flag stuff being posted online. The excerpts from his "manifesto" show someone highly frustrated with society and how nothing is being done to remedy it. All the "false flag" stuff really does is numb the discussion and turns it back into left v right politics.

Yeah, it's frustrating. Bizarre as some of this stuff seemed, false flag narratives should come last, not first. Assuming this is staged is no different than the US right assuming that attack on Ilhan Omar some months(?) ago was staged (an opinion that was rampant). It's the same reflex of staying in your cocoon and blaming everything on the other side. Irrational and unhelpful.

She did nothing of the sort. It was a softball interview. Go watch the full thing not the thirty second snippet.

So she didn‘t read out the words pedophile, rapist and traitor, then tricked Trump into admitting it was describing him? This is as close as it gets without directly telling it to his face, which you can‘t do.

I don‘t watch CBS, since they are now controlled by conservatives.

The President who survived a previous assassination attempt has security that allows an armed man to run past them and yet he isn't shot and killed? In America? One of the most trigger happy countries in the World... Okay.

If I speak, I am in big trouble.

It's not like he actually got close to hurting any of his targets.

She didn't trick him. He immediately assumed it was about him because ..... Like you said CBS and 60 minutes is a joke now anyways. They have no interest in pissing trump off or being tough on him.

The manifesto suggests it’s not really staged, just badly planned and extremely poorly handled by security at the WHCD. Trump is a psychopath for talking about the ballroom in the immediate aftermath, but I wouldn’t put it beyond him.

That being said, they have regularly defended the right of the people to bear arms, including for the use of personal self-defence against a tyrannical government, so this is just the extension and consequence of their staunch support of the second amendment. They just don’t understand they’re the tyrants. I’m guessing the second amendment is going to be part of three first names’ legal defence.

The Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller held that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms for self-defense, which includes defense against threats from tyrannical actors.

If the sitting president was a Democrat the Republicans would call this guy a patriot.

I still remember a time when people tried to pretend that Melania was some sort of victim. What a vile and horrible person she is.

She should be ruthlessly mocked at every opportunity. The fecking gall to pretend to an anti-bullying advocate, considering the sack of shit she married. She's pond scum.

She's playing the victim here,.just like her husband does all the time. It's such a fecking disgusting and reprehensible trait to have, especially when you see calling the other person a coward as well.

Republicans shout from the rooftops every single day and night about 'free speech' Vance continuously attacks the UK for not having it, in his opinion, of course. Yet the minute they don't like something someone said they want to cost them their job. Of course that just compounds their hypocrisy as they also claim to be against cancel culture.

Everyone knows the Republicans are massive hypocrites on nearly every stance or belief they hold. None of this is anything new, it's just incredibly galling to continually see it in play all the time.
 
Melania was probably a victim when it all began and she was being passed around by epstein.
 
MAGA banging on about free speech and making comedy illegal....now they're complaining about criticism and playacting over Jimmy fecking Kimmel
 
Frosty said:
This makes it sound Kimmel went on a rant about killing the President after the Correspondent's Dinner, rather than making a joke several days beforehand.

Bear in mind Trump wanted Kimmel fired last year but it didn't happen. So he's going for round two. It's all performative in order to settle a score

So they've had this incident and now criticism of Trump will be illegal?

It already is for foreign tourists or workers wanting to enter the United States.

Trump himself said he was going to come out and say the most vile and not very nice things about the media and those in attendance at the WHCA dinner. It wouldn't surprise me if many in the Presidents inner circle and those in charge are happy he didn't get the chance to speak.

Being the least respected first lady must be a heavy crown. She has no class and it shows. It's so surreal that she can talk about censorship.

Imagine, a First Lady who used to be a high class hooker. Oh wait we don’t have to imagine. Horrible family

"I am not involved with Epstein" - Melania in her 1 hr live public speech that nobody asked for

Tells you everything you need to know. Also her speech was lacking emotion, like a robot with exotic accent (dont even know what it was)

I remember these people had an issue with Michelle Obama wearing a sleeveless dress once..
We have come so far in a decade :lol:
 
These people all playing the victim card while being part of or enabling the nastiest, most hateful and vindictive administration I can remember. I'm sure we're all bursting with sympathy.

the problem is they're cynically and deliberately trying to make valid criticism of Trump has some form of "hateful rhetoric", which doesn't help their cause. Furthermore they've made excuses in the past for Trump own mad comments. So not only are they making themselves look like hypocrites, but shameless opportunists

Maybe the First Lady should talk to her husband first before making just stupid claims.
One is comedian/cabaretist, the other is POTUS

In their minds is reversed: Trump and other 1 percenters can do and say whatever they want and people who are the equivalent of court jesters in their minds should shut up or have their proverbial heads cut off.
