Trump - 4 more years of this at least...

[pritch]

No, he acted on what he thought was a miscarriage of justice based on the information he received and thus presented. That doesn’t make him a liar, there was no malice (otherwise show me proof of ill intent).

Not close to reality that's just joke status. There is a huge amount of evidence available of Trump's lies to anyone who is interested. It's a mystery to me how you've missed it. All of the experts involved, multiple recounts, sixty odd court cases, and the officials who ran the election, say there was no significant fraud. Trump said before the election that he wouldn't accept the result if it went against him. He still hasn't conceded.

Trump lies about everything. It's safer to assume he is lying than to believe anything he says and that was before the onset of his rapid mental deterioration. Bearing in mind that he was not very bright to start with.

One from the way back stack relating to his character that may be news to you. When Trump applied for a casino licence in Australia it was declined because of his mob connections.

He has been presented with proof many times by the courts and even by his own election integrity team member.
Trump even said a republican primary (an election run by republicans) was rigged when his endorsed pick Dr Oz lost!!!
At what point Dean will you accept that when trump does not get the result he wants in an election he just lies by saying it was rigged?

I think you will find he is irretreivably entrenched in his beliefs. Facts don't come into it.

I read a bit of a blurb from a book written by some professor* from a US University that basically boiled down to "Tribe Before Truth". It kinda explained the maga movement perfectly for me. Don't get me wrong, there are loads on the left that drink from that batch of kool-Aid, but hot diggity dang, those magas bloody swim in an Olympic sized pool of the stuff!


* Please note: It is widely believed in circles comprising of "those with right legs 10 cm's shorter than their left" - that the majority of professors from US universities are indeed highly skilled open cover marxist operatives, doing every dastardly trick in the book to turn the USA into one big evil Marxist state using everyone else's money. Naturally all built on a sea of blood and the bones of kittens.

This is a weird thing to say if you never lost an election direct quote

Donald Trump got caught forgetting his own lie — that the 2020 election was stolen from him — during an interview with journalist Ramin Setoodeh for his new book, “Apprentice in Wonderland,” according to a tape Setoodeh shared Thursday with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace.

Setoodeh, the co-editor-in-cheif of Variety, told Wallace that he and Trump were discussing the latter's falling out with his once close friend, former Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera. As the subject came up , the presumptive GOP nominee let it slip that Rivera called him after he “lost the election,”

then you have whiteness reports under oath.
During the ninth and possibly final hearing, the committee investigating the January 6 insurrection shared new testimony from Alyssa Farah, a former White House aide, who said that a week after the election was called in favor of Biden, Trump was watching Biden on the television in the Oval Office, and said: “‘Can you believe I lost to this effing guy?’”

In another new clip of testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, she shared that Trump told Meadows: “I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out.”

As if Trump didn't have enough legal problems he now has two more.

The family of Isaac Hayes has commenced legal action against Trump for use of the song "Hold On I'm Coming" at rallies in breach of copyright.

The United Auto Workers have initiated litigation against Trump and Musk with regard to comments they made in their public meeting on X a night or two back.
I might have been tempted to listen to that but it was running late. It eventually started forty minutes late.

Stable genius at work.

The stupidity goes further than Trump and deep into his campaign aides as that shit should be checked off by his team and not him. I'm not partisan on this, I think stupidity leaks into every spectrum of the political spread.

Yes and no. If the candidate/team leader shows he/she considers themselves entitled it will spread down from the top.
This isn't Trumps first unauthorised use of a song - and I'd bet it won't be the last.

I'm perhaps lucky in that I've only once worked for a wealthy person who considered that the rules did not apply to them.
It was however an eye-opener as to what they thought they could get away with.

Of course, my point was someone else no doubt decided (for whatever reason) to ignore copyright. Unless Trump did it all by himself and put the song on by himself at the rallies in question. I've known both wealthy and poor who were entitled enough to think the rules didn't apply to them. Wealth was the factor, ignorance and arrogance was all it took.

It will be interesting to see how various blogs and news agency’s on both sides will cover this.
Texas DA files felony corruption charges on 2022 election worker after independent investigation by the infamous Texas Rangers.
Before anyone gets too excited it’s all about not enough voting papers due to one guys laziness and greed, apparently there was no intent to interfere in election result.
The guy literally had one job, to make sure adequate allocation of voting papers, but he decided he needed two jobs and took on another full time job in oil and gas industry at same time. As such he paid lip service to voting papers job and also fraudulently claimed paid parental leave while having second job.
Anyhow in the early days news of this stuff being investigated (has to be by law if more than two people make affidavits to DA)you can see how some would easily lead think to claim election fraud/problems.

Yes, Celine Dion is also a bit upset about him using one of here songs without permission.

Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc, became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing My Heart Will Go On at a Donald Trump/JD Vance campaign rally in Montana," a message posted to Dion's social media accounts read."In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
"… And really, THAT song?"

no doubt his team or supporters will claim immunity or first amendment...
