Yesterday he decided to walk, likely in direct opposition to what the Secret Service would have recommended and highly likely against their policy. If he could have military police shoot at protesters so he can walk across, I am sure he can ask the secret service not to take him to the basement. But sure, keep trying to twist yourself into knots to justify Dear Leader. I was picturing something more like this: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where this scene differs is when his advisor to the left of scene looks resigned at the coward king. trump at least has surrounded himself, after diligent work and effort. With advisors that will always smile, nod and approve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While it is entirely possible they were looking at birds at that moment, but it's beyond clear that is not the actual environment they are in. Stop being intentionally daft? He can't help it. One has to be evil or daft to continue supporting every evil thing Trump does, and I choose to believe that he is not evil, per Hanlon's razor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel99 474 #160 June 3, 2020 Watched a video of Obama talking about the riots and he mentioned a book that he had read Them fire next time’ If you’re open minded and interested it’s a really good book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see the cleverness in it if I wanted to propagate the violence, but I wouldn’t use the world ‘brilliant’, because that would suggest that I approve of it... it has that type of connotation for me.

It's not karma if the cars belonged to people who were peacefully protesting (as the vast majority are) out of a sense of moral responsibility. It's not karma if the cars didn't belong to anyone involved at all - after all, are we expecting a rigorous checking process here? The people out there smashing other people's stuff are behaving appallingly and there's no excuse for it. People trolling them and egging them on to see what they can cause to be smashed are just as bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole thing is fantasy anyway. You are railing against an ironic joke that assumes that it was just the ANTIFA property being targeted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
