Trump

[Vertigo 7]

I may be taking this too far, but I sent this to Coach Tuberville under the category of "Animal Rights" since he didn't have a category for crimes or "other" on his website:

Hey Coach!

I found millions of cases of voter fraud, right here in good ol' Alabama.

This was so obvious, how did everyone miss this?

The Alabama voter's oath states categorically:

"I solemnly swear or affirm to support and defend the constitution of the United States and the State of Alabama and further disavow any belief or affiliation with any group which advocates the overthrow of the governments of the United States or the State of Alabama by unlawful means and that the information contained herein is true, so help me God."

Since republicans have proven themselves to be traitors and/or are affiliated with ones that did attempt to overthrow the government of the United States, in direct violation of this oath, then that means every registered republican in Alabama, that did vote, has fraudulently voted and should be prosecuted as well as having their votes invalidated.

So good news, you can step down from a job you clearly do not have the background or skills for and you can do so under the pretense of "law and order" that you and your party claim to stand for. And since you got on the TV and said you want "every legal ballot counted", clearly that means you did, in fact, lose your bid for election.

And since you did vote in 2020 as a registered republican, I'll look forward to seeing you surrender yourself to law enforcement to face charges for your violation of the Alabama voter's oath IAW Alabama law. After all, you do want to see all crimes punished, or does "law and order" only apply when someone who doesn't have your skin tone do something you don't approve of?

Regardless of the outcome, I'm gonna use Trump's words against them every opportunity I can.

[fiksal]

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!

[Vertigo 7]

True, and you just know that if it had been democrats that attacked the capitol, the republicans couldn't build prisons fast enough for all of em.

Muslims often change Bible to Koran. I don't know what they do about the word "God".

it's the same god, except they reject the whole pantheistic approach the christians have going on, so for them it's the 'one true god Allah'.

Mind you, even the Catholics got a bit uncertain about the extent to which their own pantheism had got out of hand, with saints being worshiped as sort of mini gods, much like the pagans used to worship household gods, and tried to cut down on it in Vatican City by putting away some of the saint statues that kept being covered in offerings, but it seems they're stuck with it even there.

Ah well, it brings in the coin, and that's what they want.

[not trying to start a discussion on this, just trying to explain my answer]

Church and state are separate but not as much as they should be. The church has a lot of influence over our politics but we don't tax them. So...

I know this feeling pretty well...

I pondered on this subject for a bit to more accurately describe the religious influence in US politics and I keep coming back to Trump.

Would anyone here really consider Trump to be a follower of Jesus? I know he says he is, but his actions betray his words. And sometimes his words betray his words.

But, like most politicians, they play the religion card to swing church going voters to their corner. In other words, a con - which is very much an attribute of Trump's.

Take the pro-lifer's arguments, for example. Many of them say abortion is a sin. Okay, aside from that not being mentioned anywhere in the bible, outlawing abortion on the basis of religion is unconstitutional as the separation of church and state is clearly defined in the constitution.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

So, what do they do? They pass laws that don't mention religion (at least at the sate level). It's a use of technicality to legislate based on their religious principles. Not at all unlike the Swiss recently passing a law to outlaw facial coverings that was clearly targeted at the Muslim people.

And this is quite rampant. They're gaming the system to get around the constitution on purely technical grounds. Not unlike several attempts by Trump to do so.

Trump is the least Christian “Christian” that I have ever seen. What are the basic doctrines of Jesus?

Be kind
Be humble
Be thankful

I don’t think Trump fits into even one of those...

He separates families, calls veterans suckers, is a braggart and is greedy and wants more.

If any politician says the are a Christian and stand for Christian values, here’s a Christian warning you... they are no better than the Christian “saints” on tv that have old grannies send them their social security numbers so they can afford “gods Lamborghini”.

[Observe]

He separates families, calls veterans suckers, is a braggart and is greedy and wants more.

He was sent by God to block godless socialists from taking over America. Sure he has a few weaknesses, but so do we all and the Lord will forgive him, because of his special mission. Now that he was unfairly defeated, the United States is on the brink of absolute corruption. Only Trump can save us from being swallowed by globalization. He will be resurrected. It is all part of Gods plan. Just wait and see.

'Is he ill?': Trump's health questioned after Mar-a-Lago photo with Lara Trump

https://www.rawstory.com/trumps-health/ ... tion_start

Recent picture taken of Trump and his daughter in law. (from their home) But to me, Trump clearly seems very unwell, and seems there are bruises on his cheeks. anyone thinking he will run again I highly doubt it at this stage. I think the pressure of what's coming is really taking its toil. then again, if he is unwell, he might not be able to stand up in court, (and hopefully lose) So I think he going to get more ill as the pressure mounts. I want him to be held accountable, but at this stage, I'm not sure he will be able to handle it.

[Mightysword]

I don't think Trump will run again, even if he's well. If he's someone in it for his own gain, at this point he already realized the benefit is not worth the baggage and responsibility. IMO all the noise he's kicking up right now is simply brand building and extracting money from his supporters to fill his pocket, nothing more. The problem is if he become too successful at his brand, other politician gonna start using that as a template. Meaning even if Trump does not run again, the potential of having Trump 2.0 or 3.0 will be high, and THAT is the scary part. Sometime playing the King maker is even more powerful and profitable than becoming the king himself.

Trumpism has always feel like just an on the spot meme people come up with during his tenure, but the way things going, it could become an official term in the history book.

[felter]

It looks like things are not going Trumps way since leaving the Whitehouse. A large portion of his Mar-a-Lago club has been closed down due to a coronavirus outbreak, it's like everywhere he goes people are getting infected with the virus, he is the Typhoid Mary of Covid.

His plane is sitting on the runway at a New York Airport rotting away, with one engine removed and the other covered up, and it's being reported that it will take hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair it. Many are baffled as to why it just looks like it has been abandoned with experts saying:

The choice to leave it outside at a northeastern airport, exposed to the elements, has baffled aviation experts who spoke with CNN. They note that it's just a few hours' flight to warmer, more arid climes. Snow, rain, and moisture can lead to metal corrosion of the airframe and the engines -- hard to detect, and, in severe cases, catastrophic. Large airplanes are typically stored for long stretches of time in the desert southwest, where the dry climate makes corrosion nearly impossible.

I'm thinking it needs repairs, he can't afford those repairs and no one will give him a loan to pay for those repairs, so he can't do anything with it.

Since leaving the Whitehouse his net worth has went down by over 700 million dollars, so it is pretty much doubtful he has those hundreds of thousands to repair his plane, let alone over 400 million he has in debts to pay soon™. He has numerous court cases on the go and with what I have been hearing and reading on the American news, it is looking like NY prosecutors are going after him with racketeering charges, though they haven't said so, that's kind of fitting as he tries to live as a gangster so he should go down like one also.

It is also being reported that he is thinking on starting up his own social media platform, as he thinks he will get 10 million people to sign up for it and he thinks that would make it a huge success, Facebook has something like 2.7 billion monthly users, while Twitter has nearly 400 million monthly users and he thinks 10 million is good.

10 million users on a social platform has a specific name: condominium meeting.

'Sick and disgusting': GOP lawmaker buries Trump after he claims MAGA rioters were 'zero threat' to Congress

https://www.rawstory.com/kinzinger-trump-2651220448/

So Trump has gone onto fox news to say that the MAGA crowd was zero threat to congress. yet 5 people dead. and a lot of damage done. he also claims that the MAGA crowd were hugging and kising the guards. Trump has lost it in every sense of the word.

As for his social media platform, it will fail, also that second 230 bill that he tried to champion, well if that does get changed to what Trump wanted, it may very well bite him back on the ass.

Plus he will need a lot of money to even start it up, even the Proud boys have gone on record to say that they won't even use the site if it exists.

Trump is just digging a huge hole for himself, and its getting deeper. As for his money problems, I think that will only get worse. His hotels are losing huge sums of cash, a travel firm has recently disowned all of Trump''s properties and won't include them in their bookings. the list goes on. And also indictments are probably going to be heading Trump's way as well soon.

[felter]

I was reading the other week there that is hotel in DC is in trouble, as it is pretty much empty, even though it is open. His MAGA supporters are no longer using it as they were only going there before on the off chance that they would get to see Trump, but seeing as he no longer goes there now, neither are they. It was also seeing bookings from dignitary's hoping to try and influence Trump when he was still in office, but now that he is no longer in the Whitehouse no one is trying to seek his approval, so that source has also dried up. The restaurant has no guests, mainly due to the virus as to be able to use it you have to be invited by someone actually staying in the hotel, and no one is staying there, so there is currently more staff than there are customers.

He also had it up for sale but no one was wanting to buy it as it was over priced and anyone that buys it will have to also renovate the place, as it is pretty gaudy (Trump style) and in need of a makeover to get rid of the stench of Trump. But with the virus effecting all tourism it's price plummeted and it was removed from the market. But with his current money woes he will probably have to end up selling it on the cheap to get some much needed finances.

[Vertigo 7]

I suspect most of his properties will end up in default and foreclosed and then auctioned off. Probably some of it will feature on some house flipping show on Life Time.

[Vertigo 7]

So after all the whining his high orangeness has done about "cancel culture", the Oompa Loompa king has called for boycotts of MLB, Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola, and several others for their opposition to Georgia's new anti-black voter laws.

I guess he forgot how little impact he had on Nike, the NFL, and the US Congress and Mike Pence when he tried to cancel them.

[matthewfarmery]

And Trump is in trouble again

Trump Campaign Reportedly Forced To Refund More Than $122 Million To Donors

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/ ... to-donors/

But then again, who is the bigger fool? Trump or the donors themselves? they should have know by now that Trump would fleece them? But still, they keep giving Trump money, and now, because of the form, the donors ended up paying weekly until their funds were dry.

h yes, there also some controversy surrounding Lara Trump and he dog charity, as most of the money never went to the dogs, but got funnelled into Trump's pockets.

But anyway, it should come to no surprise that Trump is in major financial trouble these days. So he doing all that he can to fleece as much as he can from anyone he can. Hopefully all this will come back to bite him on the ass.

[Vertigo 7]

This donor story is getting more and more absurd. At the heart of this is that the Trump campaign, along with others in the GOP now seeing how easy it is to bilk people out of money and following in his footsteps, had options defaulted to yes to make reoccurring donations and obfuscated the purpose of the check box so people wouldn't notice what was going on until it was too late.

So someone would go to make a donation, and at the bottom of the page there would be something like this:
[x]
Do you want to see Trump win?
The orange one demands your loyalty!
Make sure this box is checked to prove
you are loyal to your overlord so he knows
he can count on you!
Make this a weekly donation

And new GOP campaign donation pages are appearing with this today...

They've literally drained bank accounts of some of their donors, the majority of them being seniors.

[felter]

That could eventually turn around and bite them ion the ass especially seeing as Trump is being forced to return a lot of the money he made from using the tactic You have to assume eventually the same thing will happen to the Republican party.

So all of the living US presidents have commented on Prince Philips death. While I read what Trump said:

"Prince Philip defined British dignity and grace," he said. "He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude, and unbending integrity of the United Kingdom."

He added: ""Prince Philip defined British dignity and grace," he said. "He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude, and unbending integrity of the United Kingdom."

He added: "Over the past few years, Melania and I were honoured to have the opportunity to visit the United Kingdom.

"We saw first hand how the monarchy epitomises and carries on the virtues of the British people - and no-one did so more than Prince Philip."were honoured to have the opportunity to visit the United Kingdom.

There is no way on this Planet did Donald Trump make any of that up. About the only thing in any of that, that he may have said or thought of, was the "Over the past few years, Melania and I", the rest of it is way out of his possible thinking or understanding. He has never been able to say anything like that about anyone else ever before, so I doubt very much he would be able to say it about anyone now.
