LOGIC💣

Since this has been cross-posted, I thought it would be good to summarize the other conversations:

In other news, Oxfam finds that water is wet, the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic, and that bears shit in the woods.

ICE is deporting her back to France.

Prosecute and imprison ICE for their crimes. When they get out of prison, take away their passports and turn them into refugees.

Glancing over the rest of the comments, I don’t see somebody explicitly pointing out how we know Trump is full of shit and also dumb as shit in this letter.

First, he campaigned on “America First,” so he never felt an obligation to think “purely” of peace. It’s just a lie.

Second, he’s outright saying that he previously was giving the Nobel Prize committee an insane amount of control over American foreign policy because he wanted to be a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a dumb as shit thing to admit.

Third, is it Russia or China who we’re worried about taking over Greenland? Does Trump not understand that these are two different countries? Surely if he is working on some sort of intel, he’d specifically choose one of them to be worried about. I think this demonstrates that there’s no real intel about this, and he’s simply lying.

Fourth, why isn’t he waiting until Russia or China actually do something? If they actually did something militarily in Greenland, then America could swoop in and save the day. And then, he’d also have some actual reasoning behind statements that he could use to justify taking control of Greenland.

Also, NATO has done tons of stuff for the US. Why does America have the largest military budget in the world? It’s because America has chosen to maintain military presence all over the world. NATO has always supported American foreign policy.

Everything Trump is saying in this letter reeks of bullshit.

One reason that people are stupid is because rich people need slave labor, so they set up a system where people don’t learn to think for themselves.

This is like when there are two really bad gangs who decide to kill each other.

It’s really telling that he has so much money that he can do pretty much whatever he wants for the rest of his life, and he chooses to publicly shit on the poorest people in the world.

Like, he could alternatively choose to say nothing, and just quietly ruin everything behind the scenes while impregnating as many women as he is capable of, but that doesn’t work for him.

100% agreed. A Reddit clone with Reddit amounts of users will end up almost as bad as Reddit. The thing that makes Reddit worse in that situation is that they are a public company.

This platform would have to evolve a lot before it can deal with so many users. There has to be some significant innovation and improvement in moderation and administration, or more users would inevitably lead to endemic misinformation and power tripping and all of that shit you see on Reddit.

Stupid may not be the right word. I used to listen to his podcast occasionally, and he’s certainly… What’s the right term? “slow witted”?

Like, he seems like he has trouble keeping up. Maybe it’s the weed he’s smoking.

He also doesn’t completely lack introspection, but his introspection seems unbelievably shallow. He’s basically just afraid that other people might judge him not to be manly. He’s scared of not being seen as manly, which is ironically pathetic and weak. But he’s demonstrated it repeatedly.

So, these things together might work to the same end of having him… and I’m going to use maybe the wrong word again… be so stupid that he doesn’t realize how much of a Nazi he’s become. He talks with anybody, and the bad actors he talks to lead him around by the nose, and he lacks the tools to analyze how that has affected him.

Rogan is a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator. Of course it will be hard for him to say anything against the man right now. Plus, with Rogan, it’s always a possibility that he’s just so stupid that he doesn’t realize how far he’s already gone and how much he’s been manipulated.

He can be sued regardless. The bar for filing a lawsuit is very low.

But because Trump is a celebrity and a politician, the bar for him winning a lawsuit is supposed to be higher than for a normal person. Meaning that Trump should lose the lawsuit, pretty much regardless of what that guy said.

Trump is so old and unhealthy that it wouldn’t be surprising if he just keeled over and died of natural causes at any point.

It’s pretty obvious that Trump believes that he’s going to live for a long time and that he’ll remain in control as president or whatever for all of that time. You don’t build a ballroom if you think you’ll be out in three years.

Vance is like a vulture, circling around waiting for Trump to die so he can swoop in. His best case scenario is that Trump becomes a dictator and he succeeds him. So, Vance will say and do anything right now.

There just aren’t that many trans people compared to how often conservatives make a big issue of them. And the number of times that a trans person has actually caused a tangible problem for other people in a way that is related to their being trans is even more rare. Not that it doesn’t happen, but it might as well be a unicorn.

That’s an easy way to tell for sure that they are using the issue as a distraction.

Continuing the point that Trump is a moron, he was recently pushing the US to do more nuclear testing, and so I think it’s obvious that Trump really wants to nuke somebody.

I think part of the reason he’s escalating international violence is because he wants a chance to deploy nuclear weapons.

It reminds me of when, in his first term, a wheelchair bound veteran gave Trump his Purple Heart, and Trump’s response, if I remember correctly, was, “I’ve always wanted one of these.”

Trump couldn’t even pretend to care about the veteran and just made it about himself.

The state doesn’t just have the right to charge the ICE officer. It has the obligation to charge him.

I heard that police are supposed to be trained not to get their bodies in front of moving vehicles.

Because if you get hit by a car, that’s bad. And because it is escalating the problem. When a police officer stands in front of a vehicle to keep it from moving, they are turning a minor crime into a life-or-death situation.

This ICE officer did everything wrong, and a woman died because of his mistakes. The woman who died didn’t do everything right, but it’s not her job. She didn’t do anything that deserved a death sentence. The ICE officer, on the other hand…

When you put completely incompetent, yet completely arrogant people into positions of power, you get situations like this and Venezuela.

“Charlie Kirk says gun deaths are ‘unfortunately’ worth it to keep 2nd Amendment,” read the headline of an article Michael shared. He did not add any additional comment on it.

Senator Blackburn (R-TN) then pinged the school about that post, and the professor was fired despite the fact that he had tenure and couldn’t legally be fired like that. So he used the legal system to find a remedy.

One of the bills, to provide clean water to rural areas in Colorado, if I remember correctly, was passed nearly unanimously in both houses. To override the veto only requires 2/3 of both houses.

It’s just my personal opinion, but I think that if a lawmaker votes for legislation and then doesn’t vote to override the veto, and it’s not some extreme situation, they should be ejected from any government office and pilloried publicly for wasting taxpayer time and making light of their serious duties. Let the people pelt them with rotting fruit.

When I say “extreme situation”, I refer to the idea that some vital information comes out about the bill and that’s the only reason the President vetoes it, to get a better version of the bill passed. Like there might be some technically important legal jargon in the bill that seems otherwise innocuous, and nobody realizes at first. Or the situation the bill is supposed to address significantly changes in the meantime.

Isn’t there an old video somewhere of Hegseth saying that the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders?
