Noteworthy; ChatGPT talks about "Trump's personal cult". I didn't say anything about a cult in my question. So it appears now obvious to everyone (and everyTHING) that it's a cult - except to those who are in it.
aroadanywhere (@trevangel.bsky.social) reply parent
ChatGPT is; If Trump dies soon, it likely becomes easier to stop Vance from “destroying democracy,” because Trump’s personal cult doesn’t automatically transfer. The risk is that Trump’s death could radicalize his core base in unpredictable ways, but Vance alone doesn’t command Trump-level loyalty.

It's smart of the EU leaders to add Meloni to the lineup for meeting with Trump. She's an attractive blonde, and right-leaning, the other "radical leftists"... She may be the weapon they need to knock Trump off balance. ... if only she were on the younger side, she'd be perfect!

Errmm... is that Woody Allen just behind Epstein? If so, that would be an interesting but not altogether surprising connection wouldn't it?

That's not entirely true - he DID say "I wish her well" to Ghislaine Maxwell when she went to prison. That was nice.

Whatever happened to Trump's amazing awesome fabulous plan to replace Obamacare? I seem to recall it was coming in two weeks, 6 years ago ...

Sounds like an invitation to refugees to me. Yet the asylum process is dead, and people who have been legally following the process have been arrested and deported. America that was great was built by these people, now it's overrun by fascistic Christian Nationalists. America is DONE.

The remainder of the poem goes on to say "The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Is that the sun setting on the American Experiment? The inscription on the Statue of Liberty does NOT say "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free (but only if they come legally)".

"11,888 are murderers". That's remarkably close to the number of votes he asked Brad Raffesnberger to "find". I think that claim is fake, he just pulled up a misremembered number from previous criminal acts.

So they know it's wrong. Is there now a Trump style guide in the White House that they are forced to follow? Imagine having a career where you studied hard, you've worked on writing skills, you take pride in getting it right, and now you have to churn out this bullshit. FFS.

JFC. There's the complete lack of reasoning and logic, the usual bullying and bluster, but is it really necessary to use Trump's "special" capitalisation as well? I mean, they have people to right these letters don't they? And people who have some basic literary skills presumably?

She's an Aussie, so a lawsuit is probably not her first thought. I heard her say just after the shot "I'm good". That would have stung and she will have a nice bruise I expect. She will probably get some Workers Compensation from her employer and I'm betting she'll be happy with that. Shockingly...

I woke up to a horrific thought this morning - Trump wants to recruit 20,000 more people for ICE. At the same time, tens of thousands of Federal workers have been laid off. What if some of them are so desperate for work that they have to go to work for Trump's Gestapo? Tragedy upon tragedy...

After that, it doesn't matter. That would explain the subservience to Elon, the free reign he's given him, and the speed with which it's happening... wouldn't it?
aroadanywhere (@trevangel.bsky.social) reply parent
If any non-government actor has the resources to hack an election, it's Elon. If that had happened, Elon knows it, Trump knows it. He has to treat Elon with care. Trump needs total control of the government before the truth comes out.

The more subservient I see Trump acting towards Elon... and letting him do stuff that he must know is illegal... the more convinced I am that Elon has something over him. Elon won the election for him, he'd be grateful, but the election is over. What if Elon knows something about HOW it was won?

Trump is staging a coup, undermining the Congress and the rule of law... So much lawlessness that the law can't keep up, and firing anyone who might be in the way. He's giving an oligarch free rein with your data. Who knows what's next? People falling out of windows?

I see Hegseth is upset about being called an extremist, as if it's normal to have your body covered in Christian symbols. He talked about the Jerusalem Cross, proud symbol of the Crusaders in their mission to reclaim the Holy Land. And they want to put him in a position where he can actually do it?

That's for starters, there are a lot more questions than answers, seems to me. Please add your own questions here, maybe some journalist will take it up. (But I understand, with Trump incoming, why many might be afraid to report.)

Find out who the kid really was, talk to school, friends, family. It's weird that nobody has come up with a good motive. If he was a genuine assassin, he must have known he'd likely die, must have had strong motivations, and didn't talk to ANYONE about it?

I have a question... did any of these companies contribute to Biden's transition? I'd imagine they are more philosophically aligned with Biden than Trump. But they weren't afraid of Biden, they knew he wouldn't retaliate if they didn't contribute. What a pathetic country you are becoming.

You know he wouldn't miss a chance to pin it on his "enemies" if he could, and MAGA would lap it up. It's almost as if he knows all the details, and talking about them, bringing attention to them, would not work in his favor. Am I crazy to think "coverup"? And now Kash will do cleanup at the FBI.
aroadanywhere (@trevangel.bsky.social)
I'm not one to promote conspiracy theories - but DJT is, and attacks anyone opposed to him. The shooter seems ripe for both. Crickets. Even MAGA were saying "they" shot him. But zero interest from Trump to understand how a kid with a big gun could outwit his entire SS team and almost kill him...

Trump says the US will leave Syria alone, it's nothing to do with the US. Is that another way of saying "Here you go Vlad, move back in whenever you are ready."? And Vlad will be ready once Trump cuts off aid to Ukraine and forces a "peace" deal. Does that sound right?
