I fully believe that this is an attempt to proactively delegitimize any attempts to prosecute former Trump officials for their actual crimes. You can just hear the dipshit chorus of “You protested when we prosecuted Comey and James, and now you’re trying to do the exact same thing to us!”

Yeah, this is a weird way to frame this story. Did he also “lose” at Jeopardy and the NLDS? Just because he said he wanted to win doesn’t mean he was either nominated or considered.

For photos and videos, Immich. I don’t really care about backups for contacts, messages, or games, so I just do photos and videos.

1200 people disappeared at that camp, without charges or due process, they were absucted off the street and sent to a swamp to die.

Germans didn’t want to believe that the Jews were being slaughtered at concentration camps, either, but willful ignorance is not a morally defensible choice.

Polling matters not to a narcissist.

Who is “y’all” and what is “this”?

For me, I want the war to end with Russia leaving Ukraine the hell alone. I’m not an expert on geopilicital military strategy, but it seems like the people fighting for Ukraine want any intel that helps them repel the invasion force. Striking within Russia’s borders might force Putin to withdraw and defend his own country rather than murdering civilians in another country.

It might not work. It might ratchet up the violence, and it might result in the suffering and death of innocent people. I don’t want that, but I’m not in a position to say that “this” makes that outcome more or less likely.

What is it that you want instead?

I mean, he is an expert on crime.

Like, Imagine you had a van. The van has passengers, and you’re one of them, but you’re way in the back. The driver can’t hear you and doesn’t care what you want or where you want to go. Then a new driver comes in and takes the van offroad. They drive in the wrong direction, and they keep hitting potholes and pedestrians and shit. Some of the people in the back are hootin and hollerin like it’s some awesome roller coaster, and also they hate the pedestrians and like when they are killed. And you’re like, please, just stop.

And then the driver threatens to turn the car off.

I mean, yeah, you need the aircon, and it would be nice to be going somewhere, but the driver is definitely not going in the right direction, and the longer he drives, the more damage he does to the van.

Right now the government is worse than shut down. It’s actively doing bad things. I’d rather the government start doing good things, but that’s not currently an option available to me.

Don’t go back.

It’s entirely possible he never went to the island. That doesn’t make Elon Musk a good person, and he hasn’t exactly earned the benefit of doubt.

Just a reminder that this fucker sexually harassed Anita Hill for years.

“I didn’t visit his island” has the same vibes as “I didn’t inhale” as far as denials go.

Of course they are legitimate concerns. Epstein was a warning, they can get anyone anywhere. They got Kirk, and they can get anyone.

He might not have come home.

He falsely said Trump wasn’t entirely above the law.

Sure, but imagine I’m right, and he’s just trying to stir shit up. Wouldn’t he write exactly the same thing? Like if he was actually upset, he’s going to pretend like he doesn’t care. Like with the Epstein stuff.

I could be entirely wrong, though. In the end, doesn’t make much difference.

It’s tempting to imagine that, but I doubt he actually cares at all (or is even fully conscious of the discord). This is all distraction, and he’s playing the agitator role to muddy the waters around his real scandals. Newspapers are a relic of a bygone time, but it’s still true that journalists only have so many column inches. The human capacity to care about many things at once is limited, and Trump is really good at creating reasons to be pissed off.

I’m not going around in circles with you. There are 435 congressional reps in the house, plus 33 senate races. Examples are provided in the article.

You’re not interested in a good faith discussion, so I’m going to ignore you from here on. Maybe someone else can help you.

How many examples would you like? Do you have a specific interest in your local politics? We can find your district and evaluate the local candidates in your upcoming elections, if you like.

The UN doesn’t control the teleprompter. Trump’s team controlled the teleprompter. If someone else had access to it, they could fuck with the speeches and change words and shit. Under normal circumstances, the speech given by the president to the UN would need to be very carefully worded to avoid international incidents. Trump is a walking international catastrophe, so that’s a silly accusation regardless.
