Trump in exile still gives him internet access and the ability to speak to and direct his followers…

Allowing him to escape justice IS the worst possible scenario in my book. Who cares if he’s not president if he’s directing his terrorist goons to cause more harm or deaths here in the States while he sits comfortably elsewhere after getting away with everything he’s done.

Trump is a moron. Probably a pedo. He didn’t direct anyone to trash that building.

He’s not being prosecuted because he isn’t responsible for the actions of others. He never gave any direction to go crazy and smash a building.

tabarnaski ,

He didn’t organize anything and didn’t give order for sure, but he quite explicitly incited it, and didn’t try to stop it once he knew it had begun.

spaceghoti OP ,

I’m not sure he didn’t organize it quietly.

There is ample evidence of coordination between Trump’s people and far right leaders. That’s how the mob works: the bosses never give direct orders to the guys on the ground.

spaceghoti OP ,

Just because he didn’t say the words “go trash that building” doesn’t mean he didn’t incite the mob that did it.

did you vote for him? would you again?

uglyduckling81 ,

Im not American, but I would never vote for a dude that’s spent time on Epstein Island.

Plus he’s absolutely insane so it makes no sense to vote for him.

The real problem is the opposition candidates they put up.

Hillary is incredibly unlikeable, possible a murderer. Creepy Joe is clearly suffering with dementia. A dude that can’t control his own bowl movements is in no fit state to be in charge of anything.

I’d just abstain from voting in the US and complain about the results either way.

yet you’re so good at alt-right propaganda, I can’t help but not believe you…

uglyduckling81 ,

Your not conforming to the left wing narrative, therefore you are alt right.

Definitely can’t be in the middle with negative and positive opinions on both sides of politics.

Ive voted for both major parties and various independents over the years in Australia.

We are no where near as polarised over here. You don’t have to be an extreme left freak or an alt right conservative.

Aligning yourself to only one ideology is pure insanity. If one party is doing something shit I vote them out.

I hope you didn’t hurt yourself with all of that nonsense. It’s bonkers.

TWEEEET

There are multiple fouls on the play…

  • Conjunction fallacy – the assumption that an outcome simultaneously satisfying multiple conditions is more probable than an outcome satisfying a single one of them
  • Non-sequitur fallacy – where the conclusion does not logically follow the premise
  • Affirming the consequent – the antecedent in an indicative conditional is claimed to be true because the consequent is true; if A, then B; B, therefore A

Multiple other minor fouls not enforced. 15 yard penalty, repead 3rd down.

Mmhmmm. Exactly what a bot would say. 😶🤪

ikidd ,

That’s what a bot would say.

Gods, they are making them realistic these days. Those AI fellas mean serious business!

Sunforged ,

The secret is implanting memories into the bots, makes them think they are real.

Remember when trump took four hours to go on TV and tell his people to go home, that he loves them. And later referred to them as great patriots?

Meanwhile during those 4 hours refusing to release the national gaurd, even though he had other senators ask him to. He tweeted and watched the news. Remember also that the police were short staffed that day and the precautions that should have been put in place were denied.

Within 30 minutes of Trump’s speech ending the capitol was declared a riot.

So I guess if you want to be really technical and say he didn’t cause this because he never explicitly ordered it (except remember during the debates where he said “proud boys to stand back and stand by”) … but he definitely dragged his feet trying to prevent or stop it and then did a half assed job. It would be hard to convince me he wasn’t at least glad this happened.
