Politics 🤡 Donald Trump

[mchay]

Also which american president told Putin nato would not move east (bill?)

 

[MaybeTop8]

This argument goes roughly in 2 camps, first that Putin launched and unprovoked invasion in 2022. The second is that the conflict started in 2014 with a US backed coup that resulted in an anti Russian Government with neo nazi ties.

The second is a conspiracy theory. Putin sows disinformation, he thrives on it. The second is bullshit.

So would you be in favour of the decisions of the leader being prosecutable in NZ? So one example of how that might work is Jacinda made decisions during covid that lead to deaths, so she would be prosecuted for those deaths if proven; sure she made decisions that saved lives too but if you apply that law to the full extent that's irrelevant.
So essentially every leader would go to jail.

There needs to be a limit where you can't abuse human rights but in America if you let everyone who gets impacted by govt policy prosecute or sue what do you think the impact would be?

We're talking Trump here - who has openly threatened to lock up those who are on his hit list, amongst many other deplorable acts. And the legislation change coincided with the prosecutions still being assme - that's a great word - assembled even around his attempted coup.

We're not talking about suing. We're talking about exonerating a grifting criminal dictator called Donald Trump.

The second is completely true and factual, this should really be on the Ukraine War thread.

Since Biden’s bumbled debate polls have shown a sharp drop in support for Biden.

Trump now leads in all battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — according to political statistics service FiveThirtyEight’s averages.

Looks like we’re heading for Trump round 2

They're trying to say Joe has Parkinsons now.

Michael J Fox should run for the Dems, everyone loves him don't they?

Don’t most 80 year olds have half a dozen things wrong with them and need a handful of pills everyday?

Probably more doped up than peak Lance Armstrong - which explains the glazed eyes as he stares into space sometimes!

How about Celine Dion replaces him, they can't criticise her for going into statue mode every now and then

 

[Tongan WAH]

Yeah the Don!

Yeah the Don!

Vote for me! I didn't have sex with a porn star while my trafficked ex-porn star wife was pregnant!

Assassination attempt on Trump…

I’m sure even cockroaches admire the guy for his ability to survive!

 

[Lord Gnome of Waiheke]

Fuck me - so close!

No facts yet.

 

[marv.]

jesus christ.
if he wasn’t already going to win the election, he sure as shit will now.

america is a shitshow.

 

[Lord Gnome of Waiheke]

According to social media;

Jesus did it
Jesus stopped the bullet
Biden ordered it
Trump ordered it

Anyway, project 2025 is gonna happen for sure now

 

[hornbybrown]

Crazy video to watch, bullet grazed him, appeared to take a Nick out of his ear. Two inches to the side and his head explodes on live tv.

His popularity will skyrocket

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

That would have been great tv!

You serious? Can’t stand the bloke but surely no one wants to see people killed.

 

[juju]

The imagery of Trump fist pumping is going to become iconic (rightly or wrongly).
It's going to be a landslide victory here on out.

What a bizarre election campaign so far.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Was always going to be a landslide, Dems did it to themselves.

As for the doubters, it seems that at present there is evidence for;

1. Trump was grazed by a bullet
2. Secret Service enacted SOP's
3. At least 1 possibly 2 shooters killed
4. Crowd goers killed

Yeah this is my view as well. Hate his political views and think he is a scumbag, but political violence isn’t the answer in this case
