Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

[DaveCinzano]

Someone suggest he gives it another go, might work next time.

Can't argue with science

Pussy Riot are russians and i don't think they fit that characterization, but yes "russia" is, and have been for a decade and more, an avatar for rightwing americans, which is why i put it in quotes.

Really didn't think someone would #notallrussians my post.

Trump is the definition of macho - it doesn't actually mean brave or tough, it means someone who aggressively pretends to be that way.

Vance in 2021 told Jack Murphy, a controversial “manosphere” figure: “A lot of conservatives have said we should … basically eliminate the administrative state. And I’m sympathetic to that project.

“But another option is that we should just seize the administrative state for our own purposes. We should fire all of the people. I think Trump … [will] probably win again in 2024, and he’ll win by a margin such that he’ll be the president of the United States in January of 2025.

“I think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: fire every single mid-level bureaucrat. Every civil servant in the administrative state.


“Replace them with our people, and when the courts – because you will get taken to court … stop you, stand before the country like [president] Andrew Jackson did, and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

As Beauchamp noted, the Jackson quote “is likely apocryphal, but the history is real”.

I did read that but isn't he a trump arselicker now? Still i guess that might make some of trumps followers suspicious of him but i can't see them voting biden as a result.

so was pence, then he "turned on" trump and is now despised by the R/W;

the maga's will not vote for biden to be sure, but they may either boycott or vote RFK as a protest; i heard a r/w commentator say exactly that today

Given Trump just tears up laws whenever it suits him he could just change it. Maybe Sergey Lavrov could get a transfer to become vice president.

1. He wouldn't be able to tear up laws before being elected President.

2. As President he couldn't make constitutional changes such as changing the qualifications for being the VP.

3. When he was previously President, he showed no ability to tear up laws, because of his own vacillating incompetence.

I suppose by picking Vance they can quickly touch up with a paintbrush the Pence signs from 2016 / 2020

He seemed rather sheepish on the news today.

Could have been nerves that someone might try again.

Fingers crossed.

50% of the "Trump base" hates Vance

FYI They don’t anymore… Trump can do no wrong the rest is just noise. The idea these Trumpers would suddenly vote for Biden because they don’t like his running mate is ludicrous unfortunately.

They don't need to vote for Biden just not vote for Trump.

Trumps a cunt, can't be repeated often enough.

 

[pbsmooth]

Can’t see it. It’s a cult - so now Vance is in the circle, everyone will fall into line and do what Trump says.

I agree.

There is several months before the election. People will get used to the fact he will be VP by then.

I don't think the Russian military is going to be in a position to be invading any Nato countries anytime soon.

The major ones, yeah but the baltics though..? Whilst Russia turning its attention to former WP countries in NATO is not likley, it's also not something to get complacent about either.

Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards fame points out that Trump has dropped the pledge of a nationwide abortion ban from the party manifesto and distanced himself from Project 2025. Not that that makes him any less terrifying but could be a motivation for republicans wanting him gone

I think the Publican relationship with Trump is Cant live with him, Cant live without him.

No matter what they said in the past, I don't think there can be many straight Republican white men that Trump's base would consider unacceptable if they spent long enough praising Trump, even Mitt Romney would probably be deemed rehabilitated

Who is Molly Jong-Fast?

 

[Humberto]

And even more relavent what did you 'tell' 'us'.

 

[Humberto]

That's shit, because you won't come back and answer. And it's all over the boards. Molly Jung -fast said and I can quote a tweet.

 

[Humberto]

Another thing. 'I told you!'. Because it's right there in a tweet.

So what. Like you literally can't think/speak.

 

[Yossarian]

Haley was definitely booed, I don't think Vance spoke at the convention Tuesday night

Trump and his supporters are strongly anti-China. Makes the support for Putin all the more odd, but logic isn't their strong point.

I think the logic for this (among those who think it through anyway) is that Russia should be a US ally, and by allying with Russia they peel them away from China. Kind of the reverse of how Nixon Allied with China against USSR.

Imagine it would only take a bit of Orwellian speak, and the Trumpian massive would be on China's "side".

For the most obvious example, just check how easily forgotten, as we've seen in the past few days, is the years of violence and violent rhetoric courtesy of the MAGA faithful. Now it's all the fault of the Dems. It's always been the fault of the Dems.
