theboyangel Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 How and why is he allowed to post such (often divisive) tripe??? At what point can someone step in and say enough is enough? Twitter should take the moral high ground and just delete his account. They are a conduit for him to spout his drivel causing unrest, anger and fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point can someone step in and say enough is enough? The Republicans in the Senate essentially declared him above the law in February. Quote The impeachment inquiry has found that President Trump, personally and acting through agents within and outside of the U.S. government, solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, to benefit his reelection. In furtherance of this scheme, President Trump conditioned official acts on a public announcement by the new Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, of politically-motivated investigations, including one into President Trump's domestic political opponent. In pressuring President Zelensky to carry out his demand, President Trump withheld a White House meeting desperately sought by the Ukrainian President, and critical U.S. military assistance to fight Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine. They let him get away with that. why would they care about him shitposting on Twitter? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 How could you possibly reconcile with yourself if you were a half decent human being in the Republican Party out there. Surely they must cringe daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Imagine there being video footage of you getting decked out by the police to the point where blood started draining from your ears, and your president publicly dismisses you as part of some made up organization he recently designated terrorists. Just...wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him using any possible means to try and rig the election or at least postpone it, even trying to get rid of the two-term limit as well at some stage.

I certainly think it's time people started updating their priors. There have been a lot of people on this forum very confident that he's going to win re-election, but this is not where you want to be: (from: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/?ex_cid=irpromo) Those are yesterday's polls. The one Trump is up in is a state poll of Oklahoma. Ignoring that, there is one outlier poll in which they're even, and the other 8 have a range of Biden +5 to Biden +14. Obviously it's very likely to be much closer than that in November, but still, he really isn't a great position right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I’m also pretty confident he was heading for re-election until his response to COVID-19 and the protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The problem being that the response to those polls and not being ahead will be found in the gutter Theyll drag up any old shit on him now to get back ahead, nothing on why trump is better just plenty on why Biden is worse That's how politics has become and the UK is no better, voting to keep the other guy out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Two party politics is a busted flush. The entire thing needs an overhaul but no-one keen to see a change has the means or resources with which to bring it about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Biden was the prime architect of the 1994 crime bill. Practically every major political decision he has been involved in has resulted in the screwing over of people for corporate America, e.g., Glass-Steagall, Student debt, Obamacare, and that's only the past 20 years. How he could possibly win this election in the current environment is beyond me. Protesting for racial justice and then voting for Biden or Trump... sheesh, I guess I should be happy I only get to pay taxes. The country is crying out for an independent candidate.

We actually departed NYC March 14th - we are very lucky that my wife's family has a summer condo in Santa Fe New Mexico. We've been holed up here ever since. (Her parents hav cancelled their summer trip.) We're musicians so all of our work has been cancelled including the Santa Fe Opera which we were both meant to be playing this summer. Today we found out that the Metropolitan Opera won't open until December 31st which means all of the other other institutions will be similar. Carnegie Hall, New York Phil & Broadway will all be shut until the New Year at the earliest. @maqroll Our apartment is on 99th and West End (1/2 a block from Broadway) and I hadn't been worried until today. I was up with my little lad at 6am here and turned on the news. I couldn't believe, 8am broad daylight on 14th street in Manhattan people openly looting stores. I just wonder how mad it. could get - that display tonight by Trump was truly terrifying. They seem to want a war - divide and conquer. Glad to hear you're safe man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though it was filmed just before the incident and one of the protesters is saying he’s trying to get himself punched. Edit: I don’t really know what to make of it all to be honest.
