Things are not looking so good for Trump and he looks it. — Fooloso4
Donald J. Trump claims he is ready for his perp walk.
Behind closed doors at Mar-a-Lago, the former president has told friends and associates that he welcomes the idea of being paraded by the authorities before a throng of reporters and news cameras. He has even mused openly about whether he should smile for the assembled media, and he has pondered how the public would react and is said to have described the potential spectacle as a fun experience. ...
As he waits for a likely criminal indictment — making him the first current or former American president to face criminal charges — Mr. Trump has often appeared significantly disconnected from the severity of his potential legal woes, according to people who have spent time with him in recent days. He has been spotted zipping around his Palm Beach resort in his golf cart and on one recent evening acted as D.J. at a party with his personally curated Spotify playlists, which often include music from the Rolling Stones to “The Phantom of the Opera.” — NY Times
He's clearly delusional, but what's depressing is the number of people who get pulled along in the slipstream. — Wayfarer
There was a massive shadow campaign to alter how the very election was ran, and Big Labor teamed with Big Business and Big Tech to alter election laws, shill for mail in ballots, and of course it favored one candidate over the other. — NOS4A2
The desire for a savior is strong. Once found everything is formed and reformed in order to conform to that image. It is fueled by resentment and paranoia that there are powerful forces working against them. Hence the appeal of a strong man who by shear force of will can right the world. Those who do not put him above the law are seen as the enemy harboring sinister intentions. — Fooloso4
Uhh... the German people and others too, I guess. So much, that they still have these Hitler-Welles of every generation asking just what the hell hapened with them.Effectiveness is no measure for leadership, for me anyways, unless one adheres to some statist or collectivist foundation. Hitler was effective. Who cares? — NOS4A2
Honestly it was just nice to have someone who wasn’t an utter coward, for a change. — NOS4A2
LOL! :rofl:He reasoned with the Taliban leadership. — NOS4A2
Altering state voting laws in the run-up to an election, getting social media to censor opponents, and threatening businesses with an army of astroturf protesters ready to protest the results should Trump win, is election interference. — NOS4A2
Oh, it’s all “making it easier for voters to vote”. — NOS4A2
The … social media censorship all makes sense now. — NOS4A2
No matter the explanation they’ve told you and therefor what you’ve come to believe, and no matter how many times you try to invoke “democracy”, altering state election laws, fundamentally changing how voting itself occurs in the run up to the biggest election in US history is interfering in an election in my opinion. — NOS4A2
But denying people access to information prohibits them from making an informed decision. — NOS4A2
They altered laws because it would have otherwise been illegal to do what they did. — NOS4A2
Sorry, repeating “democracy” isn’t going to work. — NOS4A2
There is really no way to defend censoring information that makes your favourite candidate look bad, so don’t bother. — NOS4A2
