The Trump Presidency 2.0

[AWP]

Only in America can a reduction in crime not be a reduction in crime because that particular crime is a single digit percentage. I'm not applying this to our forum, I see it in the news and online.

"Crime is down."
"No it's not. Carjackings are at an all time high!"
"Good thing I didn't say 'carjackings' isn't it, you fucking twit?'

 

[The Quartermaster]

They sound so juvenile, all this because they have an over inflated ego and don't want to think for once that they were wrong and Trump was right. Trump ain't perfect but JFC some of these boneheads are rather ignorant and willing to cut off their noses to spite their face.

I believe the Brits would call this one, being a pillock.

It's not down!... ok it IS down, but not in this specific category... ok it IS down in that category too, but it's fascist... know what? That crime rate was actually good.

Classic disconnect between the People and the elites. The mayors and talking heads are all saying "I dont know what you mean we don't have a crime problem!" while the people are cheering for the reduction in crime and safer streets.

This weekend alone in Chicago, 6 people died (including children) and 27 more were injured in shootings across the city. Worst Mayor in the Country, Brandon Johnson, says his city is going to riot to resist a possible NG deployment. His child constituents are being murdered in the streets, and his response is... protests to keep the crime going?

As an aside but tangentilly related, Gavin Newsom continues his self-own presidential candadicy by alleging the top 10 cities in America are all in red states (this is factually accurate) and is apparently blissfully unaware that they all have democratic leadership, save 1, who just put a republican in as mayor in recent history.

He has merch that looks exactly like Trump, is tweeting like Trump, acting like Trump... it's super weird.

This story reminds me of the "don't set a precedent you don't want to be held to later" conversation we have had previously. Looks lke John Bolton is in a bit of hot water- but Trump isn't breaking the glass here, Biden's DOJ did. Glad to see the GOP using the exact same tactics as the Dems- maybe it'll provide some level of deterrance/mutually assured destruction.

Bolton may be in hot water as FBI investigation expands beyond controversial book

A lot of people said, and did, a lot of sketchy shit over the last four years because they were sure Trump would end up in prison or at least politically neutered, so that there would be no meaningful consequences for their actions.

...then Trump got re-elected.

Now, consequences.

Smart men who studied political science might recall it being the "FAFO theorem", an off-shoot of the "karma law in politics."

Seb Gorka had a pretty good quote on the matter.

"To all those calling it a 'revenge' presidency, they're admitting more than they know. Yes, it's revenge- but revenge means you were wronged, that the other side absolutely did something worthy of revenge, of retribution. They've given up the game in their whining."

Worst call of the admin to date. I have no clue how to even begin making this make sense.

Lutnik's ridiculous framing- "It's an economic decision, 15% of lower colleges will go out of business." AND....?

Huge swing and a miss.

The one thing China insisted on for the trade deal.
He fucked this one up.

Trump saw the memes calling him "Chairman" after he announced we bought 10% of Intel and decided to go all in apparently lmao.

Speaking of Chi-Raq...here be the mayor:

Maybe they can put it in the fine print that the visas only apply to liberal arts and gender studies programs....

I like how the Left didn't care about anything Epstein or Ukraine related until after Trump was in office. Both took place before Trump's second presidency. No one from the Left cared under Trump's first term with Epstein until "The List" became controversial during his second term. Most of them were silent about Ukraine until after it became controversial with Trump.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot, Oscar?

Epstein I 100% agree, but the Ukraine? That's all we heard from them before Trump: more money, "we" have to send more money, more, more, more. Anyone questioning the spending was called the usual litany of names, accused of siding with Putin, accused of being an enemy of Democracy and on and on. They wouldn't shut up about the Ukraine.

Agree here- I mean what do you expect from the left? Obama handed Putin Crimea, orchestrated the Maidan revolution in '14 (thanks, John McCain), and set up the largest money laundering operation in the history of time itself. They've loved Ukraine forever, long before Trump. Has very little to do with Russia, honestly.

The angle with Trump is that he's a Russian catspaw and owned by Putin, that's really the only reason we even heard about Ukraine in reference to Trump.

They've loved Ukraine forever,

that love was bi-partisan.. looking at you Romney

 

[amlove21]

Agree except Romeny is a conservative republican in the same way that I am a furry (behind closed doors, completely out of the public eye, and even the furries don't claim me).

Kidding, you're right.

Kidding about Romney or you being a furry?

A tranny murdering defenseless kids because it's a religious school and has TDS. Why am I not surprised?

While I do agree with that, I don't agree on waiting until afterwards to start showing online activism. It's not supposed to be conditional unless one doing it from spite and virtue signaling their TDS to the rest of their echo chambers.
