He knows damn well they're probably not housebroken, just think of the mess they'd probably make the first time the encountered indoor plumbing.

Re: The Trump observations thread
I guess leaving aside whether trump is actually guilty of espionage, I'm skeptical of this. Not for any high minded reason from the DOJ or anything, but because with Trump as the target you essentially have half the country already baked in to regard any action take against the guy as an illegitimate false flag.Howard Beale wrote: ↑16 Aug 2022, 11:14pmFood for thought...

Maybe you win over more of the country if it turns out he was actually shopping nuclear codes to the highest bidder or something, but anything short of that I don't think it moves the needle on anything.

Re: The Trump observations thread
They've been trying to find a 'gotcha' moment for Trump the entire time he was president and they're keeping on doing it now. It's all theatre. It's to distract people from the overall pitfalls of the capitalist system by providing an allusion of choice. Marvel movie levels of good vs evil morality.Flex wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 12:38amI guess leaving aside whether trump is actually guilty of espionage, I'm skeptical of this.

Re: The Trump observations thread
I don't disagree that some (much) of it is a distraction, but I do think Trump is actually a fascist and if they have to nail him on some equivalent of tax evasion or whatever, I'd be fine with that.Mark^Bastard wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 9:36pmThey've been trying to find a 'gotcha' moment for Trump the entire time he was president and they're keeping on doing it now.

I guess the Trump presidency made me rethink the notion that both parties and all candidates are the same and that any differences are purely illusory. Trump is extremely bad. That doesn't make everyone else good, but Trump is notably bad even by the usual standards.

Re: The Trump observations thread
I don't think he's any worse than Bush Jr. He's just bad at being a politician, doesn't follow the usual rhetoric standards. If you look at the underlying intention of them all, they're all bad. Democrats too. Maybe even worse because we should hold them to a higher standard.
Trump isn't educated enough in political philosophy to be a fascist. He's just an idiot that says stupid things. If you mean rigging the system, well that's everyone in politics and everyone in lobbying and every billionaire!
I agree he's bad, really bad, but where we maybe differ is how we see the others. I see them as just as bad! If I'm being fucked I care not if it's with a smile.
