Whatever Atrocity is Next... - Trump Thread #154

[Spandauer]

I actually put this as a 'placeholder' title whilst I tried to think of a better one. But then, on reflection, copy editing didn't seem necessary.

I expect they will now forge a whole lot and claim those were what they found.

Don't be sorry. I think it speaks to the absolute firehose of shit that it's just now getting picked up in the UK. I honestly feel like we could spend all day posting various articles on the abuses and illegalities and general horrors and still miss out about half of what they're doing.

i.e. What the hell was Tulsi Gabbard doing at their raid of the Fulton County records?

(recently namechanged, a lurker not a poster here but checking in to say)
Last night I had a nightmare about DJT. I was walking through a station with an old friend of mine who is so uninterested in politics she may genuinely not know who the current President is. Anway, we were walking past a waist high wall around the steep stairs down to the next level, and she suddenly picked up a man and deliberately tossed him over the wall (she is 5'2 & he was tall & broad, & was I suddenly realised, DJT). There was a sickening noise. I rushed down the stairs and saw he had sustained catastropic injuries & was very dead. I called 999 & as I edged closer as he sat up, zombie like. Some other random person behind me shot him. I walked closer to him & he zombied up again and then deliberately walked over me, like some damned juggernaut, crushing the occipital bones in my face as he went. I thought how unfair it was as I had tried to help but I knew I was dying. I woke up screaming (literally) & thought: 'I just met evil in human form'.
Sorry for a rather silly / personal post when you all have such well researched posts / links but it's still in my head at nearly 5pm. Bloody nightmares!

Have a nice strong , @TirednessOnToast . You're clearly in need.

Too much. There is always a point where the pudding gets over egged.

Remember Trump's war against Venezuelan drug runners?

The families of two Trinidadian men killed in a US strike on an alleged drug-smuggling boat have filed a lawsuit against the American government.

I'd say skip the ☕and go straight to 🍸

That sounds genuinely awful. I hope you manage to shake it off! Sending better dreams for tonight.

what is going on in USA

Curious usage for an American...

'Seize the day' has started a pro-Trump thread. Enjoy. 😂

Especially as what the government are claiming sounds like a DEI initiative and we all know their views on that.

There are one or two pro Trump posters on MN but I think trying to find a whole thread will be difficult.

Whatever you might think about reform voters for the most part they don’t love Trump much. I genuinely think reform would lose a lot of support if people thought it would look like Trump term 2. The problem is the thinking bit…

For some reason I am reminded of Bill Baileys tale of seeing a sign in South Africa:

Cut-price shark diving

@PerkingFaintly @walllaw - Thank you both!
I have a 21 y/o Autisitic Ds who is obsessed with US politics (special interest)
It's been hard to keep him cheerful over this last year, given all that's going on.
I didn't expect the hideous one to invade my dreams though: hopefully a one off!

But Are Nige is a massive Trump sycophant fan.

Hence the problem being the thinking bit.

Perhaps Melania is going to be needed on stage to hold Trump up and whisper the answers when he loses his thread. This is the soft launch.

I am keeping an eye on the local ish cinema.

2 people are going on Friday lunchtime. 2 couples are going Friday night.

what a date night that would be

🤮 And guess who the OP is for that thread. Right in one!! Give the lady (or gentleman) a cigar!!!

But it'll at least give the MAGAts that pop up here a dungheap place to call home.

A quick reminder regarding 2020

If Trump had won
he could not have stood in 2024

so he has to choose

stay on as President now and shut up about 2020
or
pretend he did win 2020 and step down now

If, in fact, the election was stolen (it wasn't), I don't think it would work like that because he didn't serve the 2020 term, regardless. I think it's that you can't serve more than two terms, not that you can't be elected to more than two, although I'd concede the founders didn't cover this one off very well

Interesting thought! The Constitution does specify 'elected', not 'served'.

22nd Amendment Section 1; "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,"

I can't wait to read the arguments on that IF those 11,000 (or whatever it was) are magically 'found' or 11,000 ballots are 'determined' to be fraudulent in the ballots they've removed stolen from Fulton Co.

Remember the alternate Melanias .....
