Everything Trump…
Quote from: jax – on
Too lazy to create a new thread, after earlier (IIRC) pointing out this thread has expired?
:) Yup!
But of course people need a place to vent their spleen… So, consider this an open-ended receptacle.

Yeah. For some reason, he's concentrating on rapists, child molesters and murderers... All Harry did was take a mediocre actress off the market.
Your factless moronicity has been appalling for many years now. The fact is that Trump let loose violent criminals on the entire nation by pardoning the Jan6ers. The immigrants that he specifically targeted during his campaign, such as when citing Haitians in Springfield, were all legal and not criminals.

Trump is doing separation of families, deporting foreign trophy wives of Trump voters, indicating his disregard of family values, of his own voter base, and of law and order all at the same time.  I don't need need to explain that a spouse of a citizen, if classified as an immigrant at all, would be a legal immigrant by definition, do I?

By the way, being a citizen does not save anybody from being deported under any president, because USA does not know (or care) who the citizens are, and this is particularly true under Trump.

You are basically braindead. Everything you say has no connection to reality. This is about reality that is over there for you to see. It is half a globe away from me, yet I know all about it and you know nothing.

And, as usual, ersi shows that he has no sense of humor!
Are you having a good laugh about your clinically critical condition? Or a good laugh about how ICE is unable to distinguish US citizens from immigrants, not to mention legal immigrants from illegal immigrants?

Nah. None of that. Keep "reading"[1] the HuffPo and the New Republic.

So: You've nothing interesting to say? (I'll wait.)
1 Of course, you don't read these publications — you "search" the web for anything that might be used to support your positions...↵

This week Trump managed to say both that Ukraine should never have started the war and that Russia attacked, but Ukraine should not have let them. Additionally,
Quote from: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/white-house-expects-ukraine-sign-critical-minerals-deal-soon-2025-02-21/
"I've had very good talks with Putin, and I've had not such good talks with Ukraine," Trump said. "They don't have any cards, but they're playing tough."
Without cards, how does anybody "not let" an aggressor attack? And of course, ever the aggressor, USA is now squeezing the victim of aggression out of the little the victim in fact does possess.
Quote from: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/white-house-expects-ukraine-sign-critical-minerals-deal-soon-2025-02-21/
"We're signing an agreement, hopefully in the next fairly short period of time," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about a possible deal for Ukraine's minerals.

ersi, you've worked in the banking industry — albeit, as the minor functionary you chose to be — and thus claim to understand commerce and, hence, negotiations... You've mentioned that the European "Powers" can't be trusted.
NATO will not commit to the defense of Ukraine, either.
But if the U.S. has a considerable stake in Ukrainian sovereignty (for economic reasons[1]), then Putin must recognize that he's lost his advantage — and must accept a peace.
Or declare war on the U.S.!

I'd think Zelinsky could survive a few "mean tweets"... (But you can't: TDS! :) )

Would you prefer a nuclear war? :) (Given your proximity to the battlefield, I'd think not.)

You are always wrong about everything.

Above all, I prefer honesty, so yes, I actually prefer nuclear war, because this would make it lucidly clear to everyone that there are no alliances and there is no good kind of interest between large and small countries. I am not a nuke coward. The nuclear battlefield is different from the trench battlefield. I am close to the trench battlefield, but nukes would drop on New York and Washington first, and then maybe secondarily elsewhere, if some button-pushers are still alive.

In his mind, Putin has been waging war with the "collective West" all along, so USA grabbing Ukraine's minerals is not going to deter Putin or reshuffle any of his calculations. It is going to confirm to Putin that he was correct in trying to grab Ukraine, and now there's a reason to redouble the effort lest USA or Europeans get to the minerals first. This also puts the next president of Ukraine under Russian pressure (not least because of the geography that the "peace" will yield). American investments to Ukraine will never reach the level that commits Ukraine to remaining an ally with USA: Look at the entire Latin America and Europe, what allies by virtue of resource-grabbing and Coca-Colafication do you have anywhere? Is Canada or Mexico a USA ally at this stage? Everybody took note of what Trump did to them within first month in office.

Trump does not know what he is doing. Or rather, he is doing the only thing he knows: Bully. Bully people/countries he thinks less of, obviously. At the same time he is scared of bigger bullies, and Putin is easily the bigger bully, while Trump is a liberal wuss and whino. Trump is also a Russian asset and he put more Russian assets on important posts in his administration. Putin is deterring Trump, not the other way round.

Good to know, that you and your ilk (do you have an ilk? :) ) are okay with a nuclear conflagration — and that you have no power to bring it about!

Says the guy who did not notice January 6 insurrection, who did not notice Trump switch sides in Ukraine war, and is not noticing Musk looting all American government offices. And unfortunately, your ilk, such as Trump and Musk, are in power.

I sincerely hope Democrats will *not* get their act together and that Trump gang's actions will bring about the natural consequences. Last time Americans did not feel the danger concretely enough and thought another stint of Trump would be a good thing. Americans are too thick to understand simple and obvious facts these days.

As a nuke coward shittiepants that you are, figure out the following: Since Trump took office again, has the nuclear threat increased or decreased? (Hint)[1]

This is a very easy one, but/so I absolutely trust you get it wrong :up:

Edit: Moreover, Germany just had elections, and the likely new Bundeskanzler says that since USA can no longer be relied on and Nato appears no longer to be a deterrent, then Europe should get nuclear weapons (meaning likely Germany, because some other important Western Europeans already have them). So nuclear proliferation is in the cards.
1 Given how disastrous you have become in informational capacity, I probably should spell out that the hint also replies to your attempted (and failed) point about "petty bureaucrats": There are vital functions to a country that those petty bureaucrats are routinely maintaining, and a breach of their routine can break the country. Obviously, duh, everybody above age 9 knows it even without saying except you. With you, one must not assume that you know anything whatsoever even after it's been spelled out and elaborately explained.↵

But I wouldn't worry about Germany — the Greens have shut down nuclear energy, let alone weapons development.

As per your usual, you are wrong about everything. Absolutely wrong about absolutely everything (this includes everything else in your post).

No, it was not peace time. Years of one country collapsing and another country emerging are not peaceful. Had I not told you this before, I could say that you do not know what you are talking about. However, since I have told you this before, it is more correct to say that you should know better. But of course you do you, you cannot do anything right even on an elementary level.

And no, I did not run and hide. I simply did not respond. I have not moved my (main) address ever in my life. I was available, had they really wanted to draught me. Edit: Different from USA, conscription over here is not voluntary. It does not depend on me, it depends on them. So they did what they did, which was nothing. Not my fault.

So, you're now fighting in Ukraine? Willing to spill as much of the blood of others as it takes — to salve your "conscience"?
But that's not enough for you! You'd have a nuclear war, because yet another European country couldn't  get along with its neighbors?
So: You assume the people actually in charge (and possibly capable to handle the situation) are all feckless or evil — and only the stander-by ersi can do what needs be done: Pontificate!

Today is the independence day of Estonia. For this and some other reasons I am being very nice with you.

Look up the meaning of every major word that you use, so as to be sure what they mean. And then relate the meanings to factual reality. In USA, Trump can get to be the president on the strength of his projection of imaginary nonsense, but on this forum you are getting nowhere.

That little tirade (ending at 2:55 in the video) is typical British "humour": Crimea was taken during Obama's presidency — pause — Ukraine was invaded during Biden's. So: Its the fault of the guy Russia didn't dare cross that the previous and subsequent administrations failed to Stop Putin!

I miss the days when folk like him (the "presenter") would stand on a soapbox at a public park! (Shaw himself couldn't have written a better rabble-rouser... :) )

But -performance art being what it is- I wonder how many get the joke? Or is the joke all that's left? :)
One wonders who can be allowed to have a sense of humor, nowadays... Specially on the internet in the "traditionally" free and democratic West! :)

Starmer urged to challenge Trump on ‘US pressure’ over Andrew Tate travel ban

Quote
The controversial social media influencer, 38, and his brother Tristan, 36, are facing a string of criminal charges in Romania including rape, human trafficking and exploiting women. Both deny all the charges.

But in a shock move on Thursday, both men set off on a flight to the US from Bucharest after a travel ban was unexpectedly lifted.

Ms Kearns wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “It is wrong for the US to in any way pressure Romania, who at this time will be anxious about what any Ukraine “deal” means for their security, to release Tate. Tate was not arbitrarily detained…. we have an extradition treaty with the US. Starmer must make clear to Trump today that the Tate brothers have charges to face in Romania and UK.”


Any rapist, child molester and murderer is prime material for today's Republican party. They have no morals, and they have no shame, and any crime they are going to commit will go unpunished in Trump's America.
