President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

[tapintoamerica]

Biden's inability to do the job after the 2022 mid-terms. Ignored. By almost everyone. Full-court press coverage on Trump and Stormy Daniels, part whatever. Blithe cluelessness on Biden. The least amount of leaks of any administration ever! Eh. People knew, and didn't report. Wasn't the cool thing to do. Just like Newsweek sat on Clinton/Lewinsky.

Has nothing to do with "cool." One side favors the peaceful transfer of power. The other attempted to overthrow the government four years ago and got away with it. That same side believes this country belongs only to those who are of a particular religious persuasion. And that party is about to do its best to savage those who don't fit in its plans.
I don't know if anybody sat on the story that said Biden was unfit to serve, and you don't, either. But let's say they all knew and did nothing. Here were the choices:
a) Sit back and let everything remain a secret, hoping advisors would secretly intercede and keep the country safe, lest the public safety be jeopardized; or
b) Report the hell out of it, adding to the risk that a true madman would win.
Congrats, Your klan won. You may not have voted for Trump, but the notion that the libruhls are just as bad a convicted felon who stole government documents, some of which have never been recovered, is the poison that now infects the country.
Your ashertion that a sizable portion of the Left hates America conveniently ignores something important: The Right's lord and savior stole those aforementioned clashified documents, some of which can safely be presumed to have been sold to another country. Maybe the Right's new favorite country, Russia. And The Left is the problem? Trump sells out his country. But we tend to forget that now because SCOTUS prefers your way of thinking.

If Trump kicks it, the neo-fascist tech bros will be in charge, led by Elmo, and in that case, we've had our last free election.

I watched a few minutes of the thing going on at Capital One Arena, and it was a few minutes more than I should have watched. The only thing in which I can take heart is that he really doesn't sound healthy.

This was an executive order: Restoring freedom of speech and preventing censorship of free speech

Just no shame:

Flanked by loved ones of Hamas hostages, Trump promises to pardon 'J6 hostages'

The ADL says it's not a Nazi salute. I would seriously like them to explain why it isn't. Maybe with side-by-side videos of Musk and Hitler. Tell us how Musk's differs. At any rate, he's got the Trumpist fascist Christian Nationalist klan in a fit of joy.

Holocaust historian says it was an effing Nazi salute.

Well, I don't think that's what it was, but whatever. We disagree. That's not a new development for me here.

No liberal bias, no left lean, totally politically neutral, hell your standard metro newsroom leans right. Yep. A bunch of young Republicans, right out of academia, which also leans right.

If they reported on it in 2022, you'd complain that it should have been done prior to the 2020 election. Or that it was reported by the wrong news outlet. Or that it lacked the presentation to permeate the consciousness of every living American and even some of the deceased.

Nothing would satisfy your contrarian mind

And remember, Trump said on the campaign trail that we'd never have to vote again.

the *real* problem is how mad that makes you

What Trump has done so far, on Day 1. The U.S. is already out of the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, as of today. Forget trying to preserve anything. Drill, baby, drill.

Taking care of the Jan. 6 rioters is next on the agenda.

The president also addressed supporters Monday evening at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where he announced that he will issue pardons for "the J6 hostages," referring to people who were indicted or convicted over their role in the deadly January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

The ADL is kneeling in advance hoping not to be loaded on the cattle cars. Good luck with that.

I didn't call them "Freedom Fries." I don't call it "X." And I sure as fork won't be calling it the "Gulf of America."
