President Trump

You really shouldn’t engage, mate.
He’s got his MO and it’s not changed for a few years.

“People take me and themselves too seriously and spend far too much time in these political threads on a football forum, I am not wumming, they just need to grow up”, he posts, for the eighth time that week, across four political threads, after having half of the posts over the last week in one of them removed by the mods for getting in to a feud with yet another poster, for the third time in as many weeks.

I am fairly sure that if we did an analysis of the user post rate across the top ten most engaged political threads MSC would be among the most prolific.

You’ve just got bite the bullet and scroll past his posts. It’s tempting to engage due to what he usually writes but you’ve just got to keep it in the back of your head he probably doesn’t believe half of what he’s saying, it just gives him the engagement he requires.
Takes all sorts I suppose.

Always good for a cheeky like from him though.

Would that be slightly obsessive/ weird though?

Not in its entirety if i'm being totally honest, so may have initially jumped the gun (pun) a tad when re-posting what had come up in my newsfeed as i were doing many things at same time. (rare due diligence slip)

Clarity wasn't as clear within the vid post than article as i lumped em together.

"This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event," the department said in a statement.

In a joint statement, the U.S. Attorney's Office, Secret Service, and FBI said that the incident "did not impact protective operations and former President Trump was not in any danger."

But some seem to think he and Vance aren’t really a threat to what is left of democracy (both in America and elsewhere) and forceful denouncing and opposing them is just “silly American politics”.


Donald Trump is ramping up his rhetoric depicting his political rivals and critics as criminals, while dropping a long trail of suggestions that he favors outlawing political speech that he deems misleading or challenges his claims to power.

In a speech Friday in Aurora, Colorado, the Republican presidential nominee blasted the immigration system and lobbed a rhetorical grenade at his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“She’s a criminal. She’s a criminal,” said Trump, who was convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. “She really is, if you think about it.”

It’s a pattern of messaging that has long been part of Trump’s stump speeches but has escalated significantly in his 2024 candidacy. In the final stretch to the Nov. 5 election, the former president has developed a tendency to claim that speech he disapproves of is illegal, even if it is protected by the First Amendment.

A questionable cut of a “60 Minutes” Harris interview? “Totally illegal,” Trump wrote on X, saying it makes Harris look better and that CBS should have its broadcast license revoked.

Donald Trump is increasingly calling speech he doesn’t like “illegal.”

The Harris campaign editing headlines in paid Google ads? “Totally Illegal,” he wrote, vowing that Google “will pay a big price” for it.

'Totally illegal': Trump escalates rhetoric on outlawing political dissent and criticism

“This is out of the autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their power ... becomes illegal,” historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat said.

I try not to engage with you, for obvious reasons, but I just wanted to say this is an incredibly ignorant and naive take on American politics and the dangers of Trump/Vance and the MAGA movement specifically, even for you. To try to act as if Trump/Vance or MAGA is not an existential threat to what is left of American democracy, and is merely a symptom of “silly American politics” at this point is just laughably simplistic. They can be both a symptom and an existential threat—these are not mutually exclusive attributes.

Most of your comments are of the sort you regularly hear from first year university political economy students. And that is being generous.

I and many others have already spoken at length as to why, so I am not going to do it again. But your insistence of posting this nonsense, followed by “well, I don’t know much about [insert the subject you were just assertively commenting on] but…” responses to people calling it out belies the fact that you know very well you are most often merely wumming and for someone reason are never dealt with accordingly.

He’s just a fucking bore. Same schtick time after time followed by a like when he gets called out.

I would you are always totally honest but fair enough.

The guy arrested is — allegedly — a member of a hardcore right-wing group and apparently carried weaponry for his “protection” (and I guess fake passports and drivers licenses).

Perhaps the sheriff in question (non-partisan, but his political website certainly leans in one direction) might have amped the narrative for his own aggrandizement (speculation).

He gets a bit testy when you hit a nerve though, which is kind of funny. But I’m not bothered by him for whatever reason.

Misanthropes have their place in the world, though no one weeps when they depart it.

Arrest a man outside a Trump rally but allow them to walk around in crowds during disturbances.

What a fucked up system.

I suspect after accusations of being caught off guard by the last two 'assassination attempts' the secret service were a bit over zealous this time - it seems mad to us, but it's probably not that unusual for an American with their silly right to bear arms to be cutting about tooled up for no reason.

Will someone PLEASE read the article???
 
I see by the various US political threads showing as having new posts, but when I open them there don’t seem to be many new posts, someone has woken up.
 
I still think the right are using Trump as a useful idiot. There’s no way he keeps his marbles for another 4 years. I feel, once he has done his job (election win), he will be quietly moved aside so that they can impose their agenda. The only reason he is there is that there is no way that Vance (the real problem for America) could win it. He has been proved to be a useful idiot for Russia, China, North Korea, Hungary, Venezuela etc, so it’s not a long shot to see this scenario…let’s hope (for the world, as well as the US), he gets soundly beaten in a few weeks time, and the Dems win both houses as well as the Presidency to fix some of these fractures in their people…

A close call election Shitgibbon will win. His cunts have being doing the groundwork in various states since his last defeat and he's locked up SCOTUS.

There needs to be a huge win that he cannot challenge.

However looking at some female voters vox pops they seem to have swallowed the lie Trump made everything cheaper and are voting with their pockets over their bodies.
