limp_cheese posted:I wonder if Trump practices the teleprompter speeches (I'm sure he doesn't). It sounds like this is the first time he's seen the speech. They haven't perfected the technology to have the prompter written in gold sharpie and then faxed to him, so he can't read it.

limp_cheese posted:It's also really jarring when he ad libs in the middle of sentences and obvious when he is focusing on the teleprompter. It's like he is having trouble reading it. I wonder if his eye sight is going? No need to read so far into it, he doesn't have the attention span to recite a prewritten speech for that long.

At this point I want Trump to just go for it and gaslight the gently caress out of his flock, stare directly into the camera and say "Hillary Clinton was President when 9/11 happened" Just  the gently caress out of the left, if enough of us have aneyurisms it could tip the election.

What I got out of the speech: -Hilary and B-Rock "The Islamic Shock" Obama are responsible for starting the Iraq war and to blame for its failure. -We said Radical Islamic Terrorism! They are defeated! - We should have plundered Iraq and left troops there indefinitely. - That McCarthy guy had some good ideas in regards to dealing with communists. We should do that with Islam. - Trump has the best ideas and is the only one that can solve these problems with "Common Sense" and simple solutions. Anything I missed?

Biff Rockgroin posted:I'm kind of excited about the poo poo show that'll be Trump's concession speech if he loses. I feel like it'll be one of three things: He saves face, is heralded as some kind of amazing sleeper agent by the Left, saves his brand/good name, and goes down in history. Sure he has to watch his back for the rest of his life, but hey, people only want to shoot important people, right?

Weren't McCarthy's ideas a complete disaster historically speaking though? I'm pretty sure that they were at best useless and likely did more damage to the country than communism ever could.

Mr Interweb posted:How would we "control" Iraq's oil exactly? Trump wants us to pull out of the Middle East while also leaving troops "around the oil" in the Middle East. So basically not at all pulling out of the middle east and instead leaving a bunch of our troops there isolated and vulnerable to attack.

He helped kick start the mistrust Americans have in government, and basically set us up for Reagan (backstabbing lil poo poo) after civil rights kicked in fully in the 70s and whites were mad as gently caress. Republicans enjoy American history.

Story time! After the 1993 WTC bombings, the FDNY found that some of their radios would not work inside the towers. For the next 8 years they requested upgraded radio systems so that they could communicate more effectively on the scene of incidents like that, should they ever happen again. Guliani pushed against these requests, and they were never given better radios. When the first tower came down, an evacuation of the second tower was called. All FDNY and NYPD personnel were to try and leave the building before it's too late. But, the radios didn't work. Many, many firefighters and police never heard the call, and remained inside attempting to rescue people until the second tower collapsed. Guliani doomed these brave people to die inside there because he was stingy about helping them get the equipment they needed, and now he parades around as if he's some sort of hero. Guliani got firefighters and police killed on 9/11. Guliani did nothing positive on or after 9/11 to help police and firefighters. He's a loving ghoul who keeps bringing up that it happened in the city while he was mayor as if that somehow qualifies him for anything, but emergency servants died because of Guliani.

No, you see he was a straight shooter that understood the extreme danger Radical Communist Terrorism posed to the United States and worked tirelessly to root it out. He was ultimately betrayed and abandoned by communist sympathizers that wouldn't even call it by its true name. In all honesty you're right. His witch hunts are a source of national shame and are used as a lesson in how fear can override sensible people. Yet here we are.........

Seriously, just the images of him walking around the city with its soot-filled air was enough to turn him into some kind of a hero. But if you ask anyone that adores him what he actually DID on or after 9/11 that makes him such a hero, they got nothin'.
