All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Scot Dutchy]

Just how close is Trump to the button?

[Cunt]

Close enough. He has had many opportunities to start wars, just like he has had many opportunities to be more authoritarian.

So the story you are excited about, is that some guy Trump fired, now wrote accusations?

You ought to buy that book! I'm SURE it's 'The Truth', and will be the bombshell that starts the beginning of the end.

Or, alternately, you could just keep visiting this thread each time you realize it isn't over yet.

Nobody's been closer than Trump has. Not even close. Never seen before. Tremendous.

I love how, instead of being himself authoritarian, he left it to the individual governors to show how authoritarian they were.

Didn't the New York one send covid patients back to their nursing homes, increasing the number of fatalities?

Are we allowed to make fascism comparisons yet, or is it still too soon?

Facebook Removes Trump Political Ads With Nazi Symbol. Campaign Calls It An 'Emoji'


Facebook on Thursday said it removed campaign posts and advertisements from the Trump campaign featuring an upside down red triangle symbol once used by Nazis to identify political opponents.

The posts, according to a Facebook spokesperson, violated the social network's policy against hate.

"Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group's symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol," the spokesperson told NPR.

One of the political advertisements claimed that "dangerous MOBS of far-left groups are running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem." The ad went on to say protesters are destroying America's cities by rioting. "It's absolute madness," the ad said.

Some prisoners in Nazi concentration camps were identified with colored inverted triangles sewn onto uniforms to allow SS guards to identify the alleged grounds for being detained, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The Trump campaign responded by drawing a lighthearted comparison to the red triangle symbol: "This is an emoji."

The campaign also falsely claimed that the symbol is used by antifa groups and noted that it is not in the Anti-Defamation League Hate Symbols Database.

The states aren't really set up to deal with a global pandemic. At some point you need a coordinated national response, and in the US that's only possible at the federal level. That also requires leadership, which is problematic in a administration that doesn't have the expertise or experience in that area, and perhaps not even the inclination. Trump decided to cut the states adrift to sink or swim on their own - if they sink it'll be the state governors' who carry the blame, if they swim Trump will no doubt claim the credit.

The question is not THAT stupid, since eastern Finland IS a russian possession...

He doesn't even read his cliff notes.

Madonna was not sure either. She stayed in a Stockholm hotel while jetting in for the Helsinki and St Petersburg gigs. Just to be safe.

[Joe]

I can't watch the videos, but the thumbnails suggest something kind of sinister.

Trump should grow a moustache.

Your computer is protecting your delicate sensabilities.

[Seabass]

I don't think Trump can grow a beard. He's probably too alpha.

That's one way to look at it.

Another is espoused by people who take a more 'federalist' perspective. I won't bother you with it, because it is well-enough understood by most.

So when a state like New York returns covid cases into nursing homes by policy, and doesn't make use of the navy ship, or other overflow resources, would you blame Trump?

He let states decide for themselves, what lockdown policies they would use. How is that the federal governments place? I live in a pretty wide country, and Ottawa wouldn't know how to fix our problems. (it's kind of a historic thing, with Canada's North) so what is it you think he didn't do?

Did he fail to provide a diverse enough staff on the ship or something?

What are the odds that Barron will turn out to be a decent human being?

I have this fantasy that he kills The Donald in his sleep. And then Trumpsters don’t know what to do with themselves because they don’t actually know who to rise up against for the assassination.
