Cripes, finally caught up after a week of unexpected post explosion and four thread title changes during it. Its weird. Sometimes the thread title will remain the same for several weeks, and then suddenly there's half a dozen new ones seemingly every other day.

Accipiter posted:

I genuinely don't get his quadrupling down on the whole "immunity" thing, beyond grasping at any straw possible anyway. Like, you only need immunity if crimes were committed. And he staunchly insists he didn't do anything illegal.

There's a not-insignificant chance he doesn't even know what immunity is and just grabbed that and ran with it after hearing someone talk about it (which is why it popped up suddenly in his rambling many months ago and now it's always there), but nobody seems to be pushing him to elaborate on why he needs it.

Trump is a malignant narcissist. Almost certain murderer Casey Anthony is also almost certainly a malignant narcissist. As part of the web of lies that made up her supposed life, she claimed to have a job at a company. When her supposed employment came into play in regards to the case around her, she literally went to the company building with the police and walked through it until she hit a literal dead end. Only THEN did she, or was forced to admit, that she didn't work there.

Narcissists think the world revolves around them and will change at their whim and will. And Trump's managed decades of it either doing so, or doing so in a way that he could lie to himself, far longer than Miss Anthony had, AND his brain is turning to mush, has been turning to mush for years now (and he's lodged deep, like a tick, in the system generations of bastards have carefully cultivated to avoid ever being punished, because Any Rich White rear end in a top hat being punished means it Might Set A Precedent and Those People sure as poo poo don't want any Precedents set, except Trump is just such a failure and an egomaniac he might actually break the system in that if doesn't expel him, it just draws more and more attention to it that it doesn't need.). He literally cannot comprehend acting any other way, and can no longer stop, any more than we can intentionally keep ourselves from breathing. He's just going to keep screaming for the world to do what he wants, like it's supposed to, completely unable to grasp that he went too big, he hosed the chicken too hard, he finally overreached far too hard, and he can't get either 'his will' or 'something that he can lie about'. Except Trump is about ten billion miles past far gone than Casey Anthony is/was: Trump would just scream at the wall of the dead end to vanish, and when it didn't, he'd scream again. And when the wall refused to vanish, well, he'd scream again. It's all he knows, it's all he can do.

This is always the answer. Trump doesn't stop because to him, the world Works A Certain Way AND IT IS NOT BEHAVING. When the weight of the real world finally, FINALLY breaks that, I suspect that is when something will break properly in his body, and he'll be off to roast in hell besides his father.

Lol, who is the “Trump was the most peaceful prez ever” even for? Literally no normal person will ever buy it, and the cultists openly want a violent dictator.

During the 2016 campaign there was a long running argument on who supported the war in Iraq in 2003. Trump had a Howard Stern interview where he said it was probably the right thing and Clinton voted to approve the thing. This started the whole Donnie the Dove vs. Hillary the Hawk thing that MAGA has been supporting ever since because they could just handwave the fact that Trump is on video saying the Iraq War was a good idea by claiming he just misheard the question. Trump also tried to close a number of foreign military bases, gave the Taliban the deal that allowed them to retake Afghanistan and pulled out of Syria. I don't think anyone would be upset about us reducing our foreign commitments, but almost everything Trump did on that front was done in true Trump fashion. On top of that, he spent a lot of time working on the relationship with North Korea and Saudi Arabia, the latter focused on getting Israel recognition by states that were allied with SA. Of course, the accomplishments are balanced by the failures, like the Israel deal being just a recognition and not some sort of trade deal or real solution to tensions in the region. The fact that he almost immediately got soldiers killed, stepped up drone strikes to the point where in his four years the military killed something like five times more people than Obama had with drones.

When Biden took office Russia had been escalating towards invading Ukraine for a while and Israel does a Palestinian war every four years or so. The Taliban taking over Afghanistan thanks to Trump's "peace" deal a few months into his presidency helped nothing. All these situations were things he inherited and before the Israel-Palestine war (remember that Israel has been sending soldiers into the West Bank since October and taking over territory and buildings while pretending the war is against Hamas, indicating a previously planned set of operations) he was the Ukraine War guy and Republicans love Russia, so Biden sending money and equipment to Ukraine is bad, Trump bombing the gently caress out out of Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan never happened. In fact, Trump was a peace president and Biden is a warmonger. Please ignore the fact that all of the Republican party is totally cool with every cent spent on Israel doing war crimes. This has made the "Trump didn't start any wars" meme a thing among MAGA people because analysis is hard and they just don't bother with that. Biden didn't start any wars or even increase our presence in other countries, he's just funded the war in Ukraine that Republicans hate and been totally cool with Israel being an Apartheid state like all presidents. This situation with the Houthis is still an issue and I expect that to not factor in MAGA thoughts at all because we're bombing the "right" people.

I guess the answer is that Republicans are very tired of being the pro-war party and want to present the four years Trump was in office as a peaceful period rather than a chaotic mess of special forces missions and drone strikes. This shouldn't work, because you have people running for President in that party who have said they'll declare war on Mexico on day one. Unfortunately, people are extremely stupid and think that Democrats are more war-like than Republicans because Trump tried to give Putin everything he wanted and failed, making him a peacetime president.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
Trump has influenced some of the vilest talking heads on TV to grovel for his pathetic bloated rear end in truly humiliating ways. My favourite being Hannity gradually turning himself orange over the years, to mimic the Great Orange himself.

That is Trump’s only positive aspect: he humiliates a lot of people who simply must take it while seething inside over how their Golden Calf is truly one of the dumbest humans alive.

as a very very white man in a very very blue collar job i talk to a LOT of trump voters, talk in quotes because trump voters fall into two camps:

the angry people that believe whatever they're told to
the clueless people that believe whatever they're told

you can't really talk to them but i, as a skilled employee with little to no fear of losing their job i can, and do, try to engage these people in low key conversations while i'm working

i can say, without a doubt, that this political fact WILL come up before the election. there are two scenarios:

"at least trump didn't start no wars!!" (the demographics of this "angry" group are old white men, clearly mentally unwell people, and skinny tweakers)
i will gently push back with facts
they will angrily deny the truth straight out. "fake news" or "no it's not". they just will not engage with the truth. i've had people refuse to look at news site on my phone.

"but trump didn't start no wars!" (the oddly smug demographic for the "clueless" group are usually very large men and grandmas)
i will gently push back with facts
"oh? huh." *silence* or a mumbled "i don't talk about politics" (i have NEVER started a conversation about politics) i used to take this silence as them thinking about the issue but now i realize they were just justifying their vote using this flimsy pretext and will just slide over to another flimsy pretext

this poo poo is why i'm a "doomer", or "pessimist" as loving adults say, i see this poo poo every day and have for twenty years. i had to stop reading the political cartoon thread because people repeat that poo poo. the dumbest, lowest hanging loving stupid drivel i have heard from people's mouths. did you know trump is one of the most successful people in america? or that he donated every dollar of what he made as president to america? or that he's "never taken a tax cut"?? I KNOW IT because dozens of people inform me all the time. i have had multiple people on multiple days tell me the same "fact" multiple times. did you know hilary never went to 9/11 but trump was there every day?"
oh do you have evidence that any of that isn't true?
no you don't.
i don't talk about politics.

i will say one of the very best times was when me and a drat near 90 year old vietnam vet lutheran church worker hugged it out over abortion.
we had absolutely opposite opinions on the subject. 100% complete and total disagreement on every issue but one: it's not the government's loving business. not state, not federal, not any. that was awesome

so, to sum up, that's who the information is for: people who it will be absolute fact for, and people who it will be a positive fact but not really change their mind if it isn't

"i will vote for trump 100% because of this fact!"
"it's not true"
"i will still be voting for trump 100%"

There have been various attempts to establish something called the 'Strategic Transformer Reserve' in the US. I'm pretty sure nothing has passed and they've been trying since like 2017.

Basically in an event like that large power transformers would be destroyed on a massive scale, and there are multi-year lead times for their production. Not counting however much of the world's production over the past year has been shipped to Ukraine to get blown up by Russia over and over.
