ex-President Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:

a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?

b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?

If this is a bit, he has been doing it for almost eight years now.

It's not a bit. I hated Trump during the pandemic and after not conceding. I just call things as I see them. I was actually happy Biden won. That being said, I forgot how horrible liberals are for this country. I didn't think Biden would make it through his first term.

The RNC crashed grindr, but alright

I'm sure there are plenty of gay Republicans. I was referring to "MAGA cultists".

Homeslice, I got a newsflash for you. You are a "MAGA cultist," and you've been deep throating that orange chode here for at least this whole week.

I hate to break this to you, but normal Republicans aren't hanging out at the RNC for 8 hours on a Tuesday evening

I'm not. I just don't like the direction this country is going in under liberal leadership. I'm happy this nonsense is about to come to an end. I'm actually excited for my child to start going to school. This country has turned third world under Biden.

It doesn't bother me. People can spend their time how they please.

The nauseating, ass-licking drivel you keep posting about Trump says otherwise.

The **** does this have to do with his point? Try to keep up with a logical train of thought across 3 posts, huh?

You expect your child will start going to school if Trump is elected but not if Biden is elected?

This doesn't jive with Republican policy in the slightest

So, this time around he'll be so much better.

Trump picks the best person. He doesn't participate in the DEI nonsense. It's foolish to limit your choices like Biden did.

Maybe he should have tried to find someone who hasn't referred to him as America's Hitler.

Pence decided no noose is good noose.

Pretty good!


can anyone here de-stupid the Hannibal lector thing for me? he keeps going back to this bit about the "late great Hannibal lector". and online the right keeps going "it's a joke ffs." but what part is the joke? neither the character nor anthony hopkins are deceased. is the great part about how he was a talented insane person? is the great in reference to the Carthaginian but brainwormed because it was "alexander the great" not hannibal. and just the lector related to the character? is it like some 4d move where the character is imaginary much like the criminal immigrant boogeyman is imaginary?

Trump doesn't make decisions based on race.


And this is where we are today. The same talking points are repeated so often, that people learn to repeat them reflexively without any thought whatsoever. There are few jobs, if any, for which there is less often an obvious "best person", than a vice presidential nominee. There are few jobs, if any, for which the successful candidate is more often chosen based on diversity (in many ways). VP candidates are almost always spoken about in terms of what they will add to the ticket in terms of broader appeal far more than how "qualified" they are. Obviously gender and race have been more recent additions to the list of reasons a VP candidate might be chosen, but they are no less related to actual qualifications for the job than other "ticket diversity" reasons commonly used in the past like what state they're from, whether they have appeal to the rural or urban voters, or the centrist or extreme voters, young or old, or whether they fill the need for a gentler or tougher component the ticket is missing. Obviously only two people can never be a complete package and provide appeal to every demographic, but an attempt to do so as much as possible is pretty standard.

But here we are, in a place where when someone points out an area in which a candidate is an obvious miss, the reaction from some is basically 'Derp derp, Trump doesn't do that DEI bullshit'. LO****ingL. That's where the right wing derposphere has brought a significant portion of the population - they hear anything that smacks of diversity, zero thought is given as to whether that makes sense given the position, it's just a reflexive response of 'best person for the job', having no idea what that even means. A company makes a mistake, it's blamed on 'woke DEI' hires that people don't even know are real. SAD.

I suspect that whenever Trump says some demented/deranged **** nobody can explain, it's a "joke". A bit like taking him seriously but not literally or literally but not seriously or whatever that horseshit was.

Christ knows what on earth Trump meant, but Anthony Hopkins (who Trump is really talking about, since he is the actor who gave the line, 'I'm having an old friend for dinner,' with cannibalistic implications in the movie) doesn't like it.

On the other hand, Trump, after a conversation with Polish prime minister Donald Tusk, told Congressional Republicans to stop opposing the aid bill for Ukraine. All Trump cares about is what's good for Trump, and he apparently feels it wouldn't be good to be 'the guy who let Putin win in Ukraine.' It would make him look weak, which he can't stand. So he does budge his position sometimes. But whether a second Trump term will be total chaos and disaster, or a bit less than that (because he talks big and mad and then trims), it's hard to say.

My child will go to school when he is of age. I'm hoping Trump gets the woke crap out the curriculum by the time this happens.

My wife tells me trumper stories almost every day. Yesterday she was in a patient's house less than 5 minutes when the lady said to her out of the blue, "you're voting trump, right?"

They don't think anything else.

Time to administer the cyanide.
