President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Science! Science!? We don't need no stinkin' science.
Trump Fired The Entire National Science Board.
The board’s function has been contested before, but always on the existing terms. As recently as 2022, scholars were debating how to modernize the board’s role, proposing to reduce its management duties and make NSF look more like other federal agencies. But other federal agencies are precisely the ones most exposed to political control. Their leaders serve at the pleasure of the president. Their priorities shift with each administration. The whole reason NSF’s structure is unusual is that the postwar designers did not want science funding to work that way. Even the would-be reformers recognized this: they proposed keeping the board’s staggered terms and statutory independence intact.
Man, for the good of this country, I’m so glad this guy didn’t get a chance to roast the **** out of trump
This seems totally organic and not coordinated at all. How very normal.
Republicans are committing mass political violence on multiple entire marginalized communities, throughout the country and world, on a daily basis, as an important part of their political project, but some of those people may or may not be in the US illegally, so I guess they don't count.For every fat orange pedophile or 4th-rate racism propagandist that gets attacked, powerful
Is the 1st paragraph referring to the police or federal agents doing their jobs? If not, can you clarify?
Is the 2nd paragraph referring to political violence? You seem to be being intentionally vague.
FYI - I’m not sure who soy nazi is and I very rarely get on Twitter.
And then, of course, there's the thoroughly and conclusively proven fact that the quantity of acts of right-wing domestic terrorism within the US far dwarfs the quantity of such acts from the left, but the right more often targets random innocents, and the left more often targets actually influential and/or powerful people, so the former instances are way easier and more conven
Can you provide some examples of right political violence against randoms?
You must love the taste of the penis from the only US president to ever getting into a twitter war with the Pope over his voicing support for world peace.
The fake assassination attempt worked once, he is pretty sure it will work again and stop people from talking about his buddy Epstein.
I’ve never actually tasted his penis. It sounds like the pope and trump have differing opinions on how to get to world peace. However, I believe what started the pope trump battle was the popes desire for the US to change their laws for the betterment of non-Americans at the detriment of Americans.
lol at fake assassinations. You are a quack, sir.

Conspiracy theory is generally wrong, being based on infantile artificialism (the childish belief that everything must be successfully willed and cannot be happenstance or the result of failure or unintended consequences). It is not likely that attempts to assassinate Trump are fake.
Both.
Some of it is rightfully so but most is disproportionally dumped on him.
We have never seen a person face half as much criticism as trump handle it as stoic or with as much grace as trump has.
Well what will seem as disproportionate criticism might also depend on your political views. A libertarian might criticize Trump and consider him the worst president of all time for such and such reason (many of them are anti-fiat and Trump is responsible for pressuring the Fed to print lots and lots of money). So maybe where you sit, you don’t like the criticism and think it’s disproportionate, but not where I sit.
I also might say that a precedent was set under Obama for very dumb criticism, or a precedent set under Trump 1 for sensationalist manipulation of the media. Trump has certainly played into the criticism and engaged in media battles.
But I also think you’re making an empirical claim and just don’t have the evidence to back it up, or at least haven’t presented it.
Do people on the left think that when trump is out of office that the left will turn down the violent rhetoric or is it here to stay? And do you all believe they should they continue to be ok with political violence?
I don’t believe everyone you are calling the left is on the same team. I believe that far leftists who are illiberal will need to be dealt with if we ever return to norm of politics prior to Trump, but they aren’t as represented in politics as the illiberalism on the right so there’s nothing we can actionably do electorally except continuing to vote against them, which we mainly have.

You got his picture on your profile and you constantly mention his penis - if anyone loves his cock its you my friend
I didn’t watch it. Was it a shooting, bomb or what was the political violence?
Your best example of right leaning violence is from 30 years ago?

Just like the big easy, you are going throw back violence. The difference between your examples and the lefts thirst for violence today is the % of politicians and voters from one side who are ok or even encourage the violence.
Just to be clear I am not saying there has never been right leaning political violence. However, I will say I don’t recall a time when suck a large % of politicians from one party and the media either encouraged or stayed this quiet about political violence outside of dems these last 10 years. We should have seen this coming when so many dem politicians encouraged and cheered on the violence at the black lives riots.

Don't move the goalposts, *******. You want more examples, look them up yourself, ****face. Turn off FoxNews or whatever garbage you watch. Also, remove head from ass.

If printing money is why you hate trump I couldn’t imagine your feeling if Hillary, Biden, Kamala or any other dem was in charge during Covid. Dems fought their asses off to shut down the economy and give away as much money as they could and trump did a decent (but not great job) of reining it in a bit.
Regarding your point about Obama: I agree there was nonsense he was criticized for but it wasn’t way out of bounds compared to most other presidents. The amount of criticism trump faces should never be compared to Obama. They aren’t even in the same ballpark.
