OFFICIAL LRC President Donald Trump SECOND TERM Thread

Good. Some place to put all the Trumpers that don't get deported or imprisoned.

trump hates a lot of things, but he really hates our national legislature.

it has only caused him pain. He wants it gone and he wants to just issue diktats all day.

and the Republicans have let him.

what could go wrong with eliminating the national legislature and putting all power in a king?

well it's a spectrum...from intact families bankrupted by health care costs and high housing costs to violent young male drug addicts with serious mental damage.

it's not easy to put every homeless person at the correct place on a spectrum and say 'tbhis one will lose his freedom, but that one won't.'

the states have decided they don't want to do that sorting.

nor paying for it, sure, as you point out.

most people would be surprised by the full nature of homelessness. They only see the old crazy men. They don't see the healthier people because they are in shelters etc.

Sums up the national suicide going on:

Nato ruined, Russia and China jubilant, the separation of powers forgotten, the world order teetering on its foundations.
And all for what? To drink liberal tears? To flatter the ego of a vainglorious manchild?
God forgive us.

He’s a narcissist. Everything is about him, laudatory toward him, and yielding to what he wants, or it’s loathsome. Anybody can rightly claim the difficulties of diagnosing at a distance, but that set of statements pretty much sums up his existence. It is resoundingly true, with very, very few exceptions spanning decades.

The Trumpists are too stupid to realize that an isolated, weak, and belligerent America seals our demotion to second rate power. Sure, we got nukes, but the real power is wealth and controlling the flow of commerce via the US dollar and SWIFT. If this keeps up much longer, the rest of the world is switching to the yuan and BRICS and we get left behind.

That happens to be true, but the truth of it has been utterly unpersuasive for a very significant percentage of Americans for some time now. And it’s a problem unto itself but one not helped when Democrats shot themselves in the foot by trying to run it back with a senescent shell of a president (OK: a less mean-spirited, less dangerous president because he was steered by aides? Sure, but Trump’s supporters don’t need to be right about the balance of the argument when all facts are considered; they just need the merest sliver of a foothold of fact from which to justify everything they already believe regardless of fact).

More of this kind of post, please. This makes for an interesting discussion. Less of the 10 in a row copy and paste posts.

If Denmark chose to weaponize Maersk, they have several theoretical avenues:
Port & Logistics Shutdown: Maersk handles an estimated 15–20% of all containerized imports into the U.S. If the Danish government ordered Maersk to cease calls to U.S. ports, it would cause immediate supply chain chaos, leading to shortages of consumer electronics, retail goods, and industrial components.
Military Logistics: Through its subsidiary Maersk Line, Limited (MLL), Maersk is a primary logistics provider for the U.S. Department of Defense. It operates U.S.-flagged ships that transport military equipment globally. A withdrawal would severely hamper U.S. military mobility.

Next, we classify liberalism as a mental illness.

Trump forgot to mention his prayers for a ban on windmills; not only those planned in the future, but also tearing down every existing one.

When do we start teaching our kids Trump math?

“The president has started making clear that he has been told you mathematically can't possibly cut prescription drug prices by hundreds of percent as he has repeatedly claimed...but he is then proceeding to insist that his is the better way to do math.”

Trump can give his MAGAs free homestead land on Tax-Free, Anti-Woke Greenland.

Take a look at a map of Miami.

Tell me what "pre-existing white neighborhood" I-95 should have been built throuhhm

Biden was in mental decline, but the Republicans could have nominated a younger candidate (as Democrats did) without all of Trump's obvious sociopathy and clear mental decline. Imagine his mental decline if we project forward 3 years from where he is now. Even then, maga will defend his incoherent blathering, drooling, and public incontinence because liberals hate it. It is truly sad as we watch Trump drive us off a cliff from world leader and maga is cheering.

Great idea.

Our 51st state...

Addressed: ”Trump’s supporters don’t need to be right about the balance of the argument when all facts are considered”

Marlo Stanfield: ”You want it to be one way. But it’s the other way.”

Every single one of the Joint Chiefs knows his statements are lunacy. That’s why people got him to tamp down his saber rattling.
