Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

[wonko the sane?]

This is apparently coinciding with both halves of the republican party (sane and insane.) calling on republicans to vote democrat in order to purge the party of the other side in time for the 2024 elections.

So my question is: how do you guys even have a government anymore? Cause, it's pretty blatantly a two party system and one of them literally does not work.

 

[Wheelimus]

Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin are kings. We have no government.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

We're not even a country. We're three corporations in a trench coat.

 

[Pocket]

Wouldn't be the first time one of the two major parties has held onto its legitimacy despite clearly existing solely to be the villains of the story and despite having already been defeated by its heroes.

Trump actually testified in a case: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/18/politics/donald-trump-deposition-2015-case/index.html

"The President was exactly how you would expect him to be, he answered questions the way you would expect Mr. Trump to answer questions and conducted himself in a manner that you would expect Mr. Trump to conduct himself," Dictor said.

Uh huh.

 

[Dekafox]

Is that one of those "technically correct is the best kind of correct" statements?

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

So he was a gibbering idiot as usual?

Former U.S. president Donald Trump launches 'TRUTH' social media platform

Former U.S. President Donald Trump will launch his own social media app, TRUTH Social, that he said would "stand up to Big Tech" companies such as Twitter and Facebook that have barred him from their platforms.

www.reuters.com

"Jack won't give me my account back?! FINE! I'ma make my OWN Twitter! With blackjack, and hookers!"

 

[Cradok]

Not mentioned in that release is that people were able to claim usernames for both Trump and Pence even though the site is still in beta and isn't actively allowing signups.

 

[Wheelimus]

How nice of him, move all the white supremacists into one platform for the FBI to monitor.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Back to this again?

Uh huh.

So how many easily-provent perjury charges did he rack up per sentence?

So basically Dorsey/Zuckerberg have no reason to unban him since he is now competing with them?

 

[Ironbite4]

Pretty much. And the thing is, he won't see himself as competition because he's superior. So when he goes to try and buy Twitter and Facebook, they'll laugh at him.

Ironbite-then show him a true corporate takeover.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Why would they take it over? It'll FAIL just like the rest of the hard right wing social media platforms have. Twitter, facebook... all they need to do is wait.

 

[Wheelimus]

I look forward to what the new owners of this do in a years time after buying it out of bankruptcy. Maybe a nice adult bookstore site? Heh.
