Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

I have a bias against the last GOP president so that, to a great degree, colours my thoughts about him when I write about him here. That is increased when he keeps making his fake claims that the last election was robbed from him, and US supporters of his keep up that lie. I was tempted some time back to ask you were you filling a Devils Advocate role on questioning anyone who put up anything questioning or adverse about Trump as you replied to another poster that you were not taking sides in your posts.

I think the Mods will say you're definitely not here to be interrogated or put on trial for your opinions, and will defend your right to post within the site TOC's, just to answer questions the same way you want others to answer the questions you post. I'll fall to temptation; are you acting as a devils advocate in your responding to the contents of others posts as part of a robust debate or are your posts your opinions with a bias towards Trump?

Who is the guy certifying the electors and shooting down the objections? If Trump had that guy instead of Pence, Biden would have never gotten into power.

Similarly, if you go into the astronomy and space forum and tell them that there's a child slave colony on Mars they'll ask you not to post anymore, which is why it must be true.

Fascinating series of allegations against Trump in this Twitter thread from a former Republican strategist. One wonders if many Republicans are actually being blackmailed by the shyster rather than support him.

There was a poster during the election who to fair to him stuck around tight to the end, can’t remember his name but I do remember him saying he thinks Trump will win because he just can’t see how he’d lose to Biden, they had set themselves up with such a belief that despite all the polling etc they just couldn’t believe he would lose. Then when he lost it turned to well I can’t have been wrong it must be something else. At this stage anyone that believes it was genuinely stolen is a moron.

My point stands. Has there been such a carnival of nonsense lasting nearly a year after an election where ill-judged, nonsensical and idiotic suits were brought by incompetent attorneys in any other election and where such a fiasco as the cyber-ninja nonsense was indulged?

Ok, so you do think the FBI have fabricated documents in this case. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to just state your opinion.

If that’s the case, then I’m sure Trump will be able to prove that, and everyone at the FBI and the DOJ involved in this massive conspiracy will have destroyed their careers and very possibly the FBI as we know it.

Except…hasn’t Trump already admitted to possessing these documents but it’s ok because he magically declassified them all?

Is that a yes?

The took the unprecedented step of visiting the home of a former president to take classified US Govt documents back into Govt control in a secured facility. As you pointed out to me, they DID NOT RAID his home. They visited Mar-A-Lago when he was not at home to avoid giving him the opportunity to grandstand and take publicity advantage of their visit. Given his age and state of health, they would have wanted to avoid a face-off with him. like his in-car face-off with his own secret service security team, simple as. You might well ask yourself who got him off-site to facilitate the safe visit by the FBI.

The FBI operated well within the date limits laid down in the warrant. Do you think Trump would destroy that which he took such pains to get his hands on? As for the nuclear codes, maybe you should check out the US military protocols on updating the codes. Do you actually believe he had the current US nuclear codes in a lock-up at Mar-A-Lago or are you turning to Trump's gaslighting now?

On an aside, I'm happy to say that politics here allows one to have and hold political beliefs here without fear. I saw a woman walking down Grafton St yesterday wearing a "Release The Kraken" t-shirt, it wasn't Sidney Powell [I think].
