"THE END OF DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!"



Leftists are such children- petulant, dishonest, ignorant children, and no one with a triple digit IQ can take their claims seriously.

MSNBC panel melts down over Facebook ‘devil's bargain’ with Trump, warns it will end democracy

The Left’s attitudes about Facebook, Twitter, et al. also demonstrate their fundamental opinions about everyone except the elite (including themselves, of course). They assume that because someone like Trump can be allowed to speak freely that everyone else is so stupid that they will be instantly brainwashed into believing the most incredible things. In fact, though, they are the ones most susceptible to marching in unquestioning lockstep to anything their leaders decree.

They demonstrate that attitude in many other ways, including demands for preferential and unequal treatment in virtually every endeavor of every subgroup of society that can claim to be a “disadvantaged” minority.

This is the kind of country I want to live in. A President who really likes us and cares about us and this country, and people such as this nice lady feeling comfortable to exercise their religious beliefs without fear of condemnation.

That's my understanding of the man. Exactly what I want too.

Yep, it is good analysis.
DeSantis, in particular, is being pushed to get into the race. But I don't think he wants to go against Trump for all of the reasons articulated in that video.

It would be best for Trump, and probably DeSantis, and probably the rest of us, if there was no messy primary.

A shot across the bow: Childers take:

Yesterday, it was Trump, who posted a contentious note that on the surface seems like a silly fighting invitation offered to Governor DeSantis, presumably to create some media drama for the primary.

Trump attacked DeSantis on pandemic policy. Trump’s weakest point.

That’s what it looks like superficially. But really, it’s much more complex and Trumpian than that.



First of all, it’s not even a serious hit on DeSantis. With conservatives, pandemic policy is DeSantis’ strength. Only the lunatic left accuses him of shutting down Florida. Governor DeSantis never actually shut down Florida or the beaches. The counties did that. DeSantis even mocked the beach closures, earning him the covid-stupid nickname “DeathSantis.”

The only true part is that DeSantis declared the original state of emergency, which allowed the counties to do lockdowns and mandates using their then unlimited emergency powers (which, mercifully, and as I warned them, are now limited). Beyond that, the Governor was not then who he is now. Governor DeSantis was forged in the pandemic’s white-hot crucible. He is something altogether new, different from the man who first took office.

But forget about Trump’s criticism. Forget all about the substance of what Trump said. Read his last line again carefully. Trump is practically daring DeSantis to come after him on the JABS. A child could write the rejoinder: “Oh yeah? That’s pretty rich coming from the death shots’ architect.” (Or, words to that effect.)

Believe me, Trump knows all about the politics around the mRNA injections. Yesterday’s feisty post proves he WANTS to have that debate, and it is DeSantis, since the Governor is the person most likely to engage on that topic, owing to the primaries being the next political step, and because DeSantis has already questioned the vaccines and convened a grand jury.

But why would Trump want this fight? Is he politically suicidal?

I think it’s not just about the primaries. I think it’s much bigger. Take a minute to visualize how the Trump-DeSantis jab debate would play out in corporate media. If Trump and DeSantis had an extended, spicy, and exciting throwdown over their mutual pandemic policy and about the jabs, with DeSantis criticizing the shots and Trump — of all people — defending them, WHICH SIDE WILL CORPORATE MEDIA SUPPORT?

Media can’t support Trump. Nor can Media support an anti-vaxxing governor. But Media still has to make a choice: which side to boost and which side to demean.

This irreconcilable conflict would combine to form an explosive news paradox, where media positrons would slam into media negatrons, the Ghostbusting streams would disastrously cross, Don Lemon’s pickled brain would spurt out of its container like a spoiled custard, and CERN would accelerate out of control until the WEF was dematerialized into an alternative dimension having no carbon at all. Good luck trying to stand up.

Seriously, even though DeSantis’ best political response here is to continue ignoring Trump, I really, really want to see this show.

It's a ding dang puzzler for ol' dick schiff.

Schiff, Whitehouse call Meta decision to allow Trump back on Facebook, Instagram: ‘Inexplicable’

Also, I have to ask- would any of our physicians or mental health care professionals care to offer up a possible cause or reason for this bizarre wide-eyed stare Schiff has at times?

I'm not a med professional..just a dumb ass.

Schiffy is an evil and sick little puppy.

Lindsey is an interesting guy. Like, " What's he gonna say next?"

Lindsey Graham says there is 'only one Donald Trump' and the GOP can't have 'Trump policies' without him

https://www.businessinsider.co...nly-one-trump-2023-1

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said the GOP cannot reap the benefits of former President Donald Trump's policies while electing someone else in 2024.

"How many times have you heard: 'We like Trump policies, but we want somebody new?'" Graham said on Saturday at a Trump campaign event in South Carolina. "There are no Trump policies without Donald Trump."

Graham went on to call the former president "strong" and "reliable," and to say Trump made the world "a better place."

"We live in a dangerous world right now. The good news for the Republican Party — there are many, many talented people for years to come," Graham said.

"But there is only one Donald Trump. And I say this sincerely, you can talk about his policies, but you could not do what he did," the senator added.
Graham's recent display of full-throated support for Trump stands in sharp contrast to his hesitation in November. After Trump announced he would be running for president, Graham said Trump would be "hard to beat" but stopped short of endorsing him.

Despite his muted support for Trump last year, Graham has for years remained one of the former president's staunchest allies.

He's telling the truth....whether or not he really means it.

People seem to forget that after Donald Trump's presidential campaign took off in 2015/2016 Graham stood before cameras and said something to the effect of "He's not going to get the nomination and if he does, he's going to loooooooose"

Actually, he put so much emphasis on the word, it came out like "leeeoooooooooose".

Graham is self-serving. Whomever he thinks is on top, whomever he thinks will be the winner in any confrontation, he clings to them like the little bitch he is.

The cock he wants up his ass changes from day to day.

And don't brush it off by saying "All politicians are that way." This little shit is the most waffling, self-serving jerk to come down the pike.

Speaking of Trump's 2015/2016 Presidential Campaign, what happened to the 'Assclown Thread'? It seems it's not searchable and I thought auto-pruning of older threads wasn't a thing anymore. Just wondering...

It's been archived.

I think it's about time for me to close this thread as it approaches 800 pages and almost 16,000 replies. The truth is that I should have closed it long ago.

The 'Trump Presidency' threads serve as an archive of conservative reaction to the years of the Trump administration. Perhaps in a couple of years we will be able to continue the series. At this point, I estimate that there is a high probability we will have that opportunity.

I'll leave the thread open a bit longer but the activity of this thread has slowed, not to mention that it has become a novel-length monster. Members can feel free to add to this thread until it's locked.

The intent of my creation of this series of threads was to provide a focused repository on the subject. For the time being, though, Donald Trump has been out of the news cycle for the most part. Any news on Donald Trump which members wish to post can go into existing pertinent threads, or newly created threads, but let's not overdo it with new threads on the subject.

These four threads will be preserved in perpetuity in this forum and, hopefully, we will see The Trump Presidency : Year V less than 24 months from now.

I certainly understand, but as a person with mild ocd I'm going to miss my daily reading of the Trump threads for these years. Pray for a Trump V thread.

Tommy

I always come to this thread first to see if anything new is posted.
