And with Trump, he's stupid AND a narcissist, which is potent. He only knows what he knows, but thinks he's a genius and has it all figured out - so he accidentally makes a full confession by giving all the details of what he thinks is the same crime everyone else MUST be committing. "They'd be stupid NOT to, right?"
I'm honestly starting to think my ex is MAGA.
Neither of us is American. But she has accusations for everyone, particularly me.
My favourite one (the funniest one, anyway) is that she's projecting incest. Allow me to elaborate: She made fun of a friend of hers, saying she'd slept with her relative. Said friend knows nothing about it (I told her that the ex was spreading such rumors). HOWEVER I know that one of my ex's lovers is a man she claimed to be her relative. Also, after we'd broken up, when she essentially moved in with me again without my permission, she said she was going to get an apartment and her dad was going to help her with the down payment. In fact she had to visit her dad several times within a week for this, because he only has cash (that is actually true). But the person that was actually supposed to help her, the person she visited those times was her new boyfriend. Basically any time she wants to hide that she's sleeping with someone, she calls that person a relative of some sort.
Most of the other projection is less fun shit, like claiming I'm trying to use our child as a weapon (something she's been trying to do with both her children against both her baby daddies), accusing me and all her other exes of abuse, etc. But sometimes the accusations truly are entertaining.
He projects so much he should be put up against a wall. To project on, you see. Definitely not for any other reason.
Someone warned him when he did it, that's how he knows it is illegal now...
it’s all projection
Trump is an inveterate liar. If you ever believe a single word he has ever said, you are a certified idiot.
If there's one thing Trump knows, it's fraud
I guess Elon didn’t do such a great job at the department of efficiency and cutting out the trash
Felons doing felon things. Have we no self-respect?
Thats how he got the idea
Hypocrisy means nothing to hypocrites.
Why can’t put him in fucking prison?
Because fraud is an official act of a president... even fraud commited before he announced he was running because, our founding fathers didn't anticipate the possibility of all 3 branches of government being corrupt at the same time.
They did. Which is why the 2nd Amendment is what it is.
I would say the second amendment got kinda screwed in how it was... Like the primary point was to not have a standing army. Almost all the founding fathers specifically feared the idea of a standing army, as one of the greatest threats to liberty.
“Always remember that an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics—that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe.” - James Madison
“Standing armies are dangerous to liberty.” - Alexander Hamilton
“I will now add what I do not like. First, the omission of a bill of rights, providing clearly, and without the aid of sophism, for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction of monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury, in all matters of fact triable by the law of the land, and not by the laws of nations.” - Thomas Jefferson
So yeah second amendment is great and all... though I would say, it's primary value was meant to be that we could rise up against authoritarians... because the people are in the same equipment league as the army... instead now somehow we're watching the nation argue over if the millitary code saying not to follow illegal orders is actually a real rule, while ice thugs are literally grabbing people off the street. At this point I'm honestly not seeing the second ammendment working without actually having a second civil war.
They did. Their rebellion against an absolutist government shows that.
They just didn't have facebook and reddit to defuse the public outrage into imaginary points.
It's true but I mean the key point is, they had quite a few failsafes set up for this... why we have 3 branches of government all made to slam the breaks on eachother etc... it's why many of the founding fathers didn't even want parties to exist. Hell they didn't even want a standing military, they were pretty adamanant of staying out of other nations affairs... even the nations that we owed favors to.
And nothing will come out of it, as always.
I would have bet on it
