Shocking

Logically, Wray can't be correct because I KNOW that Trump took a bullet for democracy!

7/25/2024 6:11:46 PM

It is strange. Not super consequential— he was clearly shot at and the shooter was trying to kill him

But it seems like maybe the bullet wizzed by his head, then maybe he hurt it on the way down when ducking?

People like Trump don't give a crap about religion beyond what it can do for them socially. It's pretty clear even without statements or slips like these

7/27/2024 12:29:09 PM

It's clear to some people and completely lost on others.

Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt that he just means they won't have to (or be able to) vote for HIM again because he will have used up his two term limit, because he is selfish and probably doesn't give a shit who wins any election that he's not running in...it still doesn't sound good. They'll have it "fixed"?

It has obviously sinister undertones given everything trump had said. This is basically trump’s game. He says things that could plausibly mean something innocuous but obviously doesn’t in the full context.

"“I’ve known her for a long time indirectly, directly, very much,” Trump said. “And she was always of Indian heritage and she was promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?” “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went — she became a Black person,” he said. “I think somebody should look into that, too.” "

Is somebody going to look into that?!?!

7/31/2024 3:35:51 PM

Yes, I've just looked into it and I have here the exciting results.

It turns out she is exactly half Indian and half black according to the immutable laws of heredity.

But you know what they say, "Once you go black, you never go back." You had a good run, Indians!

7/31/2024 7:42:22 PM

Trump is dumb as hell for this. I know it worked in his favor when he did basically the same thing to Elizabeth Warren, but damn. Dude is terrified AF.

7/31/2024 11:02:47 PM

His appearance at NABJ is comedy gold.

7/31/2024 11:27:56 PM

Terrified? I don't know, I think he's just demented and whenever he comes out in front of a non-MAGA crowd that becomes more stark. The Republicans are so stupid, if this messaging didn't work in 2008 how would it work now? Plus it's just so stupid, god damn

8/1/2024 12:55:32 AM

Trump is such a dope!

I would be embarrassed as a human being to vote for this guy.

But good excuse to shout out to Twister, Bill Paxton, Eddie Van Halen, and Van Hagar:

You do realize what the stakes are for him, right? He went from thinking he had this entire election in the bag and picking freaking JD Vance as VP because his son told him he looked good for the cameras, to...potentially losing to a black female former prosecutor. He wins and he will do whatever he can to appoint himself as dictator; he loses and it's prison time.

He is saying they won't have to vote for him anymore as in he will be President and his term limit will be over.

What am I missing? I don't see how it is interpreted as a dictator. Simple common sense, this election is it for Trump, no mas amigo.

8/1/2024 1:01:31 PM

I feel like if Barack Obama had said the same thing to his supporters in 2012, the right would have lost their minds.

8/1/2024 1:12:41 PM

Maybe he did, we will never know. Hell there may be footage of it somewhere on the interweb, however he did get a second term.

Yet to be seen for Trump, alas, this is his last Presidential bid/campaign regardless of the outcome.

Sure. That's a totally unbiased interpretation of that portion of the speech.

"You won't have to do it anymore".... sure, "it" means ""vote for him". Anyone with any simple common sense wouldn't interpret that to mean "You won't have to vote anymore". (even though that's exactly what it sounds like he's saying, but we all know he often says stuff that sounds like one thing, but simple common sense would explain that he actually means something else.)

But I'm having trouble with the unbiased interpretation of "It'll be fixed" and "It'll be fine". What is the unbiased interpretation of "It'll be fixed" mean? What will be fixed?

The country will be fixed. It will be great again. Everything will be on autopilot and we will get rid of the government and voting because it won't be needed anymore.

8/1/2024 2:40:24 PM

He's made many references to abolishing terms limits and it's clear as day he think he can do whatever he want as president, including breaking countless laws. But it's a bad faith argument and I feel dumb for even engaging now.

I'm sorry, this is so stupid. Nobody with any common sense would rationally think that's what he means. It really makes no sense. Of course he legally can't run again after serving two terms. Do you think that many of his voters are too stupid to realize that presidents can only serve to terms? And do you think he thinks that if they realize they won't be able to vote for him a third time in four more year, it would make them come out and vote for him now if they weren't planning to? I think you're being disingenuous. Either to us, or maybe to yourself?

8/1/2024 3:40:32 PM

I think you're looking too far ahead.

He is/was rallying people to go vote for him one last time so he can fix America. That's the concept. That's it.

"“As usual, it was a win for Putin or any other country that deals with us. But we got somebody back. So, I’m never going to be challenging that. It wouldn’t have happened with us, we would have gotten it back,” Trump said in an interview on Fox Business. He said, “They got a great deal. The Russians made a great deal. I’m not going to be criticizing it, because it’s good to have them home, but they got a phenomenal deal and that sets a very bad precedent. Very, very bad precedent.” “The deal is very complex, because it just came out. So, nobody understands the deal yet,” Trump said, adding, “And they make it complex so you can’t understand how bad the deal is for us. But we got him back and we could have had him back. We should have had him back a long time ago. It should have never happened. It would have never happened. He shouldn’t have been taken in the first place. And it would have never happened with us if I was president.”"

I changed my mind. Reading is hard when it's a transcript of the words Trump actually says.

8/2/2024 11:52:22 AM

Where was Donald Trump when Paul Whelan was arrested?

8/2/2024 12:13:25 PM

How do we feel about the theory that Trump doesn't understand what the word Asylum means and that's why he keeps mentioning Hannibal Lecter and mental institutions?

8/5/2024 8:16:33 PM

I feel that is not accurate

8/5/2024 8:29:53 PM

After watching many of his rambling word salads, I think it makes a lot of sense. Why the hell else would he be so fixated on a fictional psychopath that has absolutely nothing to do with any of this?

from Money_J:

Quote :

"I like the theory that he heard immigrants were seeking asylum, and his rotted brain then jumps to insane asylum (and quite possible he doesn’t know the difference/that there are multiple uses of the word) from insane asylum of course you jump straight to Hannibal Lecter, and just start rambling about that"

8/6/2024 10:22:01 AM

I could believe that might be the origin of the association, but I want to think he knows the difference between the two usages.

8/6/2024 12:01:50 PM

One time when he was rambling about "the late, great Hanibal Lecter" he mentioned that South American countries were closing all their insane asylums and sending their patients to America. But yeah, I kinda agree with this^. He just associated the two usages of the word, thought about Hanibal Lecter, and now he uses it as a go-to because he thinks his crowd loves it (and many probably do)

8/6/2024 12:27:19 PM

Many probably do because it allows them to have a “shared secret” which grows the cultlike following. It’s a lot like “Let’s go Brandon” it really made no sense but everyone got on board because it was a way to be crude without being “rude”

8/6/2024 6:11:58 PM

Yeah, like those signs that people put in their yards that straight up say "FUCK JOE BIDEN!"

Classy individuals.

8/6/2024 8:42:05 PM

my hottest take is that dudes heart isn’t in it anymore and he’s indifferent about the outcome of the election

he gets off on the crowds, but that’s it

he’s slipping with his insults and is much sloppier than he’s been in the past

[Edited on August 6, 2024 at 11:42 PM. Reason : .]

8/6/2024 11:40:34 PM

Or is he just confident that if he doesn’t win the vote, it won’t be certified?

8/7/2024 7:42:56 AM

Well, Kamala Harris as the current VP isn't going to do any shenanigans to help Trump win in Congress.
