On and On and On It Goes - Trump thread #148

[Spandauer]

It's been 9 horrible months and I find myself looking back on those "eating the cats and dogs" days with nostalgia.

Compare and contrast when Keir Starmer remarked (naming no names) that people guilty of disorder would be treated as severely as possible).

Has anyone seen the film “Idiocracy”?

It’s nothing amazing, a comedy made around 20 years ago about a regular man who is frozen and wakes up 500 years in the future where the IQ of humans has dropped so much that he’s now the smartest man in the world.

Honestly it’s starting to feel like a prophecy right now…

Well that’s the trial compromised before it begins surely? His defence can argue that he can’t be given a fair hearing given the President’s remarks.

Right radical violence is acceptable

EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?

TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Who said he will get to trial ?

Very true. Another Jack Ruby perhaps?

I see Kash Patel is due to give a statement shortly.

Trump will be focused on saving his own skin, after all bolsonaro has been sentenced to 27 years for plotting a coup in Brazil. He will know that vast amounts of hay can be made out of Kirk's assassination, he wants to be America's Putin, all the wealth is under his control and the tech bro oligarchs have no choice but to grovel at his feet.

He won't want to waste this opportunity to make summary execution the norm. After that everyone will be terrified of him, no one will speak against him. I'd like to think that this would be an overreach on his part . . .

I don't think he will get as far as a court room either - it will be execution style shooting of him when he gets taken to or from the first police holding cell. The right winger will be lauded a Patriot by Trump and probably get a medal.

FBI have now confirmed and named the suspect

The 16-year-old boy who shot two students and then himself at Evergreen High School this week appeared to espouse white supremacist views online and showed an interest in mass shooters in the days before the attack.

A little birdie reports that the Presidential VH-3 Choppers have been delivered to the UK via a USAF C-17A

So Trump said live on Fox & Friends that the suspect was 28 or 29.

FBI confirm suspect is 22.

Possession of the facts is such a small thing to ask. It smacks of the little boy wanting to run to his friends to tell tales before anyone else gets a chance.

Oh god he’s really coming isn’t he 😭😭

FFS I’ve had to take a day off of work to go to the protest on the 17th. I was hoping he’d TACO and I’d get my day back. I feel like I have a moral obligation to be seen and heard/not sit back quietly because I’m a citizen. Need to get some poster board this weekend too. 😒

When/who was the last foreign head of state to die (if ever) in the UK ?

Just doing some research for a pub quiz, your honour.

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

The suspect has handed himself in

Fucking hell, the director of the FBI just said this

Kash Patel: "To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla"

His team didn’t even catch him, FFS.

Snd isn’t he jeopardising the defendant’s right to a fair trial with this BS?

There's a lot to unpick there.

It's a bit Neo Nazi

Pity.

Some are willing to sacrifice themselves to further the cause, history tells us.

Yes.
