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

Old school photos always look cool to me. Looks like such a simpler time. No phones and other distractions. People just living.

It is a little weird seeing everyone on their phones these days. I went to the doctor the other day and several people were waiting... all on their phones. I drove past a bus stop of maybe ~10 people... 9 out of 10 on phones, 10th person just had headphones in vibing.


Yeah, I remember back in the day waiting in the doctor's office for two hours with only a couple of National Geographic magazines and then waiting 45 minutes once in the exam room for a 7 minute doctor visit. Such simpler times...


phones are miracles but most everyone is an addict because they are so good and also everything is designed to swiss cheese your brain

Nostalgia is interesting because it seems to filter out the negative **** and just keeps in all the cozy comfortable stuff about the era. Plus, the uncertainty of the future is a downer compared to looking back to a pic of 1980 and realizing that you can relax a bit more.

But I'm a staunch believer that effort creates meaning and progress leads to happiness. So the person who had to ride their skateboard down to the video store to rent a Nintendo game, and only have either the instruction manual or a classmate tell you that you need to crouch down next to the mountain for 10 seconds before a tornado whips you up, taking you to the next level (Castlevania 2) instead of youtubing the walkthrough or just having every game accessible on Steam, will live more rewarding lives.

It's the same reason why after a few months, lottery winners tend to end up more depressed than those who suffer severe accidents leading them to learn how to walk again.

You may be making things easier, but you’re taking away something that makes humans happy - the struggle, the anticipation, the feeling of completing something instead of just having it handed to you.


I dunno man, nostalgia just ain't what it used to be.


I guess George Santos finally got his reward for never criticizing Trump.

There is literally no crime his loyalists can commit that he won't pardon. Party of law and order my ass.


This will now be Trump's THIRTY SECOND meeting w/ Putin since his first term (call or in person). The next closest world leaders has NINE meetings.

Of all those meetings w/ Putin, ZERO were officially recorded and entered into WH record.

Of all the other meetings w/ other world leaders ZERO were NOT officially recorded and entered into WH record.

It's really a think piece on why this might be.


The Republican 180 on Russia still mystifies me.

Just wait until right before Trump leaves office.

Trump barely thinks about this stuff at all and republicans just follow him.

I grew up in the cold war era, so ya.... it's perplexing.

The Venn diagram of whether Trump is a Russian asset or whether he’s carrying out exactly what Putin would want to undermine democracy and weaken America is nearly identical.

The fact he's called it the "Russian hoax" and supporters just regurgitate this, despite the absurdly massive mountain of evidence that it's not a hoax, is a testament to the effectiveness of media brainwashing. It will be a case study for sociologist imho.


Went to the no kings protest today. I would guess there were 50%, maybe higher, more people than the last one. Extremely peaceful. Most of the car traffic was supportive.

Makes me kind of wonder why we can't win elections.

its bc the Dems ran on a platform of slaughtering babies in Palestine, doubling the funding of ICE, increasing deportations, overfunding police, and going to war with Iran Yemen and Russia.

That was their platform?

Given this is a poker forum, I wonder if the Dem movement to have Queens outrank Kings will come to fruition. Maybe in 2036 or whenever they are back in power.

Literally ******ed right wingers

I legitimately love the "open border" one because they can't even tell you what that means. 12 million illegals, 15, 20? Who ****in knows! Is it more than under Trump v1? No? Oh, its like the same total amount that have been here for 20 years? Really? I was lied to????

Its so ****ing ******ed

incidentally, the Dems were more than willing to throw trans people under the bus


Of course they were. Dems didn't run on trans rights. Its just another black hole of ******ation for right wingers

They are literally giving up the country because of made up monsters in their closet that they still endlessly rail on
