All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[Robotman]

Damn. Trump is talking about Biden being assassinated weeks into his presidency. What nut is going to interpret this as an encouragement?

Watch the video clip, Trump really did it.

I wouldn’t put it past this vile man but I think he was saying “shot” as in worn out/exhausted. He was saying they’re going to use the 25th amendment to remove Biden and have Kamala as president.

So, apparently Trumps Admin has been paying $2.5M to his businesses. https://mobile.twitter.com/Fahrentho...38640794378242

Hands up if you're shocked.

Not me. I also figured that number would be considerably higher since that’s probably been going on since Inauguration Day.

It could be argued that Trump was speaking in semantics, saying that Biden is shot physically and/or mentally. While Trump is flat out deranged, not even he would call for someone’s assassination, overtly or covertly.

Trump's Campaign website hacked/defaced by someone who is sick of the "fake news spreaded daily" by the president.

People are talking about how it may be self inflicted to gain sympathy votes, and I can't exactly rule it out. Let me stress that, people THINK THIS IS AN ELECTION PLOY and I can't rule it out. This is a sad state of affairs no matter who wins.

Of course all that really says is that Trump has gotten people so riled up, they're willing to believe conspiracies, no matter which side you're on.

Only a week before the elections come to end. Trump is no good at all. Biden is hardly better. So, Vote for Howie Hawkins instead.

So much wrong with this. There is no time line where Howie Hawkins becomes president, most people don't even know who he is.

I like many of his positions on the Ballopedia, but if by some miracle he was president he wouldn't be able to do much and according to Wikipedia he's Anarcho-Communist and has dabbled into Libertarianism.

Good lord. The guy who wants to give everyone making under 100k free public college is 'hardly better' than a guy who's overseen the deaths of 250,000 Americans and washed his hands of doing anything about it. Please tell me this is sarcasm.

Biden at least has plans laid out to try and fix the country. Yet some are hung up on how he's not PERFECT enough so hey , go vote for the 3rd party guy because some how Biden is just as bad as what you posted. This train of thought to blame the party for Biden winning and not giving you the PERFECT candidate is what blows up in our faces as we see.

At this stage its mind boggling , the whole attitude of this is just fucking mind boggling.

Might wanna rethink that one, WPP!

It was just the latest in a string of Trump attacks against Gretchen Whitmer, the Democratic governor of a crucial swing state.

“Hey, I’m the one — It was our people that helped her out with her problem,” Trump told a rally in Lansing, referring to the alleged kidnapping plot in which six men have been charged federally and eight more face state terrorism charges.

“And we’ll have to see if it’s a problem, right? People are entitled to say, ‘Maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn’t,’” the President added. “It was our people, my people, our people, that helped her out. And then she blamed me for it.”

But remember, Biden is just as bad because reflexive both-siderism is still a thing with some people.

It's Accelerationism. Those people believe that letting Trump win and allowing things to get so bad, that, finally, there'll be a Revolutionary uprising. I just will never accept Accelerationism as a worthwhile political philosophy. It's never been anything more than genocidal nihilism mixed with revenge porn

If it's legitimately someone who believes that we are already at a "Right This Minute Or Doomsday..." fork in the road when it comes to the environment?

Biden might not be their guy.

Serious, just not serious enough if you really believe it is that stark of a choice.

Not the way I see it, but I could see folks feeling that way.

Biden is *still better*. All the science points towards us still being able to stave off far worse results if we take the steps outlined by a Biden administration, who has openly acknowledged the need to transition away from oil.

AOC is on his climate change working group.

So anyone who actually cares about the environment should vote for that, but then, you didn't want to vote based off supreme court justices so what would you know about harm reduction?

To them, the "Better..." is they are going to get a cigarette before their death by firing squad.

Since they will be dead at the close of either scenario, that cigarette doesn't actually amount to much.

As for what is in blue?

I'd know that you don't roll the dice in that fate will deliver you the exact scenario where you would like to step aside.

That balance of Justices is so important? Actual harm reduction would involve just stepping aside when you are actually in a position to reduce harm when you do so.

President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.

If this isn't the best example of everything that is wrong with being a Trump Supporter, I don't know what is.

As for what I think about Biden and climate policy...

He's perfectly acceptable, even if he is not ideal.

That doesn't mean that everyone else sees that the way two people on a message board do.
