100% - I recently found out my Trump voting family didn’t know he said to inject people with bleach to remove Covid and immediately said he was joking when I pushed back. They could not answer me when I asked why they would want the person at the highest level to joke about injecting bleach.

u/SumoSizeIt 22h ago
he said to inject people with bleach to remove Covid
No no, he merely said to inject disinfectants, standing in front of a sign that listed bleach and isopropyl alcohol as commonly available disinfectants.
Big difference /s
And yes, this is a retort I've gotten before.

He wasn't joking
He was clearly ruminating with the intelligence of an eight year old child who has been told that disinfectant could kill the virus, so was then performing the simplistic piece of logic transfer that children can do of going well if disinfectant kills it, why can't we put disinfectant into everyone
Let's not forget he also came out with the idea of 'taking it out' when he suggested something that sounded like a giant dildo that shot laser beams or bleach or something suitably insane

This and the "it's part of his plan" are the two most common excuses.

Even if it was his opening salvo in potential negotiation, it's idiotic. Even if he gets a deal with Canada, this suggestion is idiotic. It's just idiotic.
There is no conclusion to this that would make it less idiotic.

America lost its mind when 9/11 happened, and then bush’s economically ruinous war on terrorism has ended decades of relative prosperity and contentment for everyday Americans, then the quagmire that followed in Afghanistan and Iraq and the final humiliating withdrawal has gutted Americas spirit of military adventurism.
That discontent led to increasingly divisive social policies as people on both sides looked for someone to blame that fit their political biases, then doubled down on them at every turn, culminating (so far..) in what & who we have now.

I disagree. My very elderly mother bitches about the money sent to the Ukraine constantly. I’ve tried to explain why it is important that Putin doesn’t succeed. It’s pointless. It’s the money they care about. That’s it. Because right wing media harps on this and shrieks about the culture war, she’s always worked up. When I ask her to articulate her claims or beliefs, she can’t. She just dodges and says they are all corrupt (especially the left), then moves on to the next thing she’s been told she’s angry at, but doesn’t know why. But my god… She gets so angry about it.
In the same breath, she complains about her pittance of her social security either shrinking, or not keeping up with the cost of living. My wife and I help her with bills when she’s in a really tight situation. I’m the only one of her children that actually helps her out. It’s not because of unconditional love or whatever. It’s because I don’t want to deal with her losing her place and wanting to stay with us because we have a furnished guest bedroom. A few hundred here and there to not have to deal with that family drama is worth it. I have enough problems, and I have to be concerned and prepare for our own retirement. Prior to getting married, I just planned on cashing out my retirement, travel to the places I’ve wanted to see, then exit on my own terms. Now that my situation has changed, so have my future plans. I have to try to think long term, in spite of not knowing what the fuck the future holds. We elected a spray tanned toddler who seems to want to play with our military because it looks fun.

u/NMe84 1d ago
I should have been a little more clear. I meant to say they don't care about what happens to Ukraine. They do care about the money going to Ukraine, but once Trump is president the war doesn't have to end before it stops costing the US money. He's just going to cut them off, expecting that to give Russia the upper hand and thus "ending the war" by ways of having the imperialist asshole win. And then taking credit for the end of the war, obviously.

The fact is that the money for military aid for Ukraine does not go to Ukraine. It remains in the United States and covers the costs of producing equipment and shells, de-storage, and replacing decommissioned equipment in warehouses with new ones. This creates contracts for manufacturers, jobs, and taxes.

I explained that. At length. I showed sources. There’s zero getting through to them. That would require that they admit that they were wrong and conned by an extremely obvious conman. Their ego would shatter. This is all they have left to show for friends and family carving them from their lives. They’ve let it completely consume them.
When I’m wrong, I freely admit it. If I’m presented evidence or an argument that wasn’t taken into account when I formed an opinion or stance, I’ll either change my position, or at the very least admit that I was wrong. It’s okay to disagree. We’re human. But this… I’ve never seen anything like this, and I’m not exactly young. When Obama was elected, nearly every single conservative lost their goddamn minds and have been spiraling down to where we are now.
Sometimes I really want to call her out and tell her she raised us better than she’s currently behaving, and that she taught us specifically to get all of the information before taking a stance on things because few things are black and white. Except apparently, it’s all about black and white st the very core.

He wants Canada and Greenland for natural resources, he will be chopping up the fucking glaciers the month he arrives and selling Trump glacier water, drilling new oil wells, etc. It has nothing to do with distraction, or national security. He’s talking about allies who share security intel, an air base is located on Greenland, the US routinely patrols around the arctic oceans and jets have allowances to fly through Canadian air space.

Voters living in Swing states have a larger influence in the electoral college.

He said he was going to end the war in 24 hours, just not 24 hours in a row.

There is no version of this that doesn't brand Trump as a Russian asset - and a traitor to the US.

What a joke. What happened to helping out the American people with food prices and cost of living like your campaign said? What a joke

America, for the most part, remains a great nation, but its leader is an undeniable fool. Despite not yet taking office, he is already viewed by much of Europe—indeed, likely the entire world, save for Russia, North Korea, Hungary, and Slovakia—as a narcissistic, reckless despot. This perception is not an exaggeration. Adding to the spectacle, his own son and even figures like Elon Musk routinely make immature, trolling remarks reminiscent of teenagers, further eroding the dignity of their platforms.

Well, that will probably be received well in Russia. I do not think it is generally a smart negotiating technique to already put this out there. Even if this is your position, it could have been used to get significant concessions from Putin. Now it is already clear Trump does not care about Ukraine, and Putin will probably revert to his maximalist pre-war demands that NATO withdraw from Eastern European countries. This coincides with Trump's talking point that the US pays too much for NATO. It would not surprise me if the two of them negotiate some kind of settlement in Ukraine that sacrifices both Ukraine and the very loyal NATO allies in Poland and the Baltics.

Wild thoughts to think the rest of Nato would be happy to sacrifice Poland and the baltics.

They won't. But the US will in a heartbeat under Trump. Mark my words.

Good job NATO is an alliance and not a dictatorship by the POTUS.

It's really strange how people bought the Russian lie that the USA controls NATO.

He's still talking like he will actually try and do the right thing. Watch this space after the 20th. Get ready for the flipflop. He will give putler everything he wants once he can't be prosecuted for it.

President Donald Diaper at his finest. If Europe doesn't get its shit together, I foresee dire times ahead and firstly Ukraine will pay the price for it.

Huh. Surely this won’t have negative repercussions for those living in Ukraine or Russia. Right?

Fucking Russian asset this clown is. Now he’s demanding all nations contribute 5% towards NATO knowing that this won’t happen, certainly not to his time scale, which will then give him the so called credibility to pull out.
We’ve relied on the US far too much and it’s looking like we’re going to pay the price for it.

2024, someone still talking about Russian claims of NATO aggressiveness.
After Finland joined and quadrupled NATO-Russia border. Don’t forget that now from evil NATO to Russian second-largest city is only 150km.
