President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Right, people routinely do all those things after football games and those are negative things. There are many reasons people riot, they range from rational to highly irrational. But if you gun down all the rioters, you’re talking about an unprecedented massacre in many areas. decades of lawsuits and blood fueds. A collapse in trust in local police forces. And yes inhumane trea
Hot take: I would not lose sleep if rioters/looters who destroy city blocks after their sports team wins/loses were left hobbled by rubber bullets and find themselves behind bars for a few months afterward. What we're doing now clearly doesn't prevent it, and this is simply not how you behave in polite society.
Go destroy your own houses, *******s. Though, I strongly suspect 99.9% of rioters are renters, so maybe that's not a good call. Your landlord doesn't deserve to pay the price for your lack of self-control, either.
Like when Jesus told to his disciples to carry swords?
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. -Luke 22:36
Huh?????
I don't see any property being destroyed in that picture. Do you?
And I'm almost certain that's a photoshopped image. :p
If I come home one day and bunch of gypsies have set up an illegal loan sharking operation in my house, I might feel justified in knocking their tables over.

My gut reaction to this debate between coordi and rickroll is that rickroll either doesn't appreciate the inherent risks of politicizing the military or doesn't appreciate that Trump is pursuing a multi-front strategy to politicize the military.
The speech at Fort Bragg, the anniversary parade, and the mobilization of the National Guard without a request from state government (and more disturbingly, the mobilization of the Marines) in response to a "crisis" that isn't really a crisis are not independent events. They are related events and part of a coordinated strategy.
As most of you would probably agree, I am not prone to hysteria. I am not suggesting that we are on the verge of martial law. I am not suggesting that the Marines are about to gun down a few thousand people in downtown LA, although I do think Trump has elevated the risk of a Kent State-type event. I am suggesting that Trump is politicizing the military, the FBI, the courts, etc. to the best of his ability because it gives him optionality. One of the things that frustrated Trump after he lost the 2020 election was that he had very few practical options. The courts were rejecting him at every turn, and I think that he knew that he didn't have the support of the institutions that he would have needed in order to make a real run at defying the election results and defying court decisions related to the election. Trump isn't a genius, but he doesn't have to be a genius to have absorbed that lesson. What will Trump do with that optionality? I truly have no idea. I suspect that even he does not know. But I do believe strongly that he wants near absolute authority to make real-time decisions that serve his personal interests.

Plus, by turning over the tables and throwing out the moneychangers, Jesus wasn't protesting, he was enforcing.
Yet another unremittingly stupid meme.
Just an example of a clear cut IRL situation https://x.com/realaustinzone/status/1932...Tolerating this is completly insane. No one should wake up and think he can do this without his life ending on the spot. Disregarding the guy who tackles down the criminal thug a few seconds later, you lose all credibility and all deterrance if you point armed guns at people and
That was beautiful!!!
What these criminals are getting away with is disgusting. We are far too accommodating to these evil doers. They know this and that's why they do what they do. It's time to get brutal against these thugs. The minute something is thrown at an officer of the law it should be considered an unlawful assembly. The perpetrator should violently be taken down or shot.

Well said!
This is by far the most insightful and cogent analysis I've seen on this topic.

One of the relative few times Jesus was out there wildin' is not the time to point out that Jesus was almost certainly very brown.

lagtight,
You agree with me often enough that I am truly confused as to why you viewed Trump as the lesser of two evils when you walked into the voting booth.

One of the most frustrating aspects of all my debate here is this insistence from right wingers to seemingly analyze everything in a vacuum. A pattern of behavior means nothing to them. Referencing years worth of evidence doesn't move them. Its like every singular event must be viewed from the most charitable lens possible, unless of course we are talking about a lefty because then the expectation is endless perfect compliance to an ever shifting standard

I still think Trump is the lesser-of-two-evils.
Assuming (big assumption) that Trump's current (and maybe future?) actions don't lead to another Civil War:
1. We will have a secure border, which we did not have for most of the Biden Administration.
2. Trump can more-or-less assure America of having a conservative Supreme Court for a generation or more.
3. There's always talk about Separation of Church and State; Trump is taking action on the Separation of "Wokeism" and State.
Having said all that, I'm largely disappointed with his administration so far.
Calling LGBTQ a "pseudo religion" is hysteria. The DoD doesn't allow pride flags either, so his entire comment is hysteria driven nonsense

Unless they are waving a trump flag, then they should be pardoned, right?

So your biggest policy concerns are
less brown people
continued power
less tolerance
I am very confused by this sentiment. You had no reason to expect anything other than exactly what you are getting from a second Trump term. If I stuck my dick in a bee hive two times, I'm sure that I'd have a strong reaction both times, but I don't think that my main reaction to the second encounter would be disappointment.
Cars are just a liability. A new car is one of the dumbest purchases an individual can make.
But fundamentally, comparing not buying a car with supporting regressive policy that actively harms the majority of a nations population is questionable

I don't see a Civil War happening. You would have thought groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and militias from Arizona and the surrounding areas would have mobilized to squash the rioters. I don't know if there were any counter protests in LA. It makes me think maybe this country isn't as racist as some believe.
I 100% think there should be separation of "Wokeism" and church from the state.
This is an exceptionally bad post from you and you know how I generally think about your average post
a bad post from Luciom, sure, but not remotely as abhorrent as this:
But to be clear, I don't particularly mind us spreading fear and terror to the general Islamic population and don't have any issue with our tactics.
Oh wait, that was YOU. That was YOU who is ok with our powers-that-be "spreading fear and terror" to this planet's 2 billion Muslims.
Anyway, it looks like this guy Alejandro Orellana got arrested for... handing out masks? Right-wing Twitter is in full celebration, and I haven't seen any claim he did anything other than... pass out masks to protestors. An arrest for such a thing seems like an escalation of US authoritarianism. Oh, he's also a part of some leftist group, I guess that by itself is enough for the piggies to get scared and immediately act to throw him in a cage.
The crime for which he was arrested is "Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders". Good stuff. Not a part of an Orwellian nightmare at all.

It can get out of control fast. Some incident where some marines die for example could be catastrophic. Probably not civil war because it's a bit one sided. Civil war would require a part of the military to mutiny but soem form of martial law could happen.
