This morning Trump purred from the Oval that “many people” are asking for a dictator
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
This morning Trump purred from the Oval that “many people” are asking for a dictator. (Picture it: trembling hands, misty eyes—“Please sir, enslave us harder.”)
Locke had the answer three centuries ago: once power is bent for private gain, law dies and tyranny begins. And tyranny, once rooted, isn’t politics—it’s WAR ON THE PEOPLE themselves.
So turn off the streaming. Put down the devices—except to record your government’s lawlessness. Get off your couches, out of your mum’s basements, out of your comfort zones. The other day I asked: have we, the fans, forgotten we’re actually the players? Because, I can assure you: this game doesn’t get won from the bleachers. But what do I know? I’m just a Yia Yia living on the most remote island chain on earth (that would be Hawaii – our 50th state), who’s finally lived long enough, raised 8 children, and read enough history to say this much:
Wake the fuck up, America—this is history repeating, and it's not subtle.” You don’t want to hear me muttering, “mark my words.” Just ask my kids and grandkids, nothing really good happens after that.

Today , in an oval office ramble, Trump said many people are asking for a dictator.
But he's not.
No questions from the White House press corps.
Simply obscene.
The words are bad enough, but the silence is frightening in its subjugation and the justification to follow is dangerous in its implication.
On the face of it it seems hard to explain. I think our media loves money more than our country.
If you have to change the comment to fit a narrative you have already lost.
The actual quote (according to Newsweek) was
"A lot of people are saying, 'Maybe we like a dictator.'"
"I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense,"
what is the difference between many and a lot ?
If you are going to do a story about what Trump said why not, you know,...............write what Trump actually said?
What is the difference between “many people” are asking for a dictator." and 'Maybe we like a dictator.'
I dont think anyone has misrepresented what he said.
Why is the word dictator coming out of his mouth, along with “A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we would like a dictator.’" ?
Why ?
Of course not.
Good question. Maybe listening to the whole thing would give some context instead of going with what someone that can't even get the whole quote right would be a good idea.
You are complaining that someone said he said "many" instead of "a lot". You cant defend what he said so you complain about two words that mean the same thing.
Why is he saying that ANYONE says they would like a dictator?
An all too common deflection these daze…parsing words in any effort to avoid even acknowledging the actual concern.
I find it interesting that the actual words spoken by Trump are worse in their implication than what even John was inferring. It's not "many people” are asking for a dictator", it is as RDTC says "A lot of people are saying, 'Maybe we like a dictator.'"
That, to me, is Trump saying that he's hearing from "a lot of people", no doubt his own, that "Maybe we like a dictator" which would be in response to those on the left calling Trump a dictator. It's essentially admitting that his own supporters think of Trump and his actions as those of a dictator. That's why Trump then has to try and ride the fence by claiming he's not what a lot of them like by saying "I'm not a dictator."
So basically, he gives us a view into the heart of the MAGAverse where his own base isn't rejecting the premise that Trump is acting like a dictator, they're saying they like it. His acting like a dictator isn't a bug, it's a feature and his base have no problem with it because their loyalties more align with white nationalist Christo-fascism than they do with a constitutional Republic made up of all peoples, cultures and faiths.
No, lets try again. In 2.1.1 I responded to that by saying: What is the difference between “many people” are asking for a dictator." and 'Maybe we like a dictator.' And you totally ignored it sticking to your many instead of alot schtick.
Again in 2.1.5 I stated Maybe listening to the whole thing would give some context instead of going with what someone that can't even get the whole quote right would be a good idea.
last chance - you admit that trump said a lot of people say they might like a dictator
WHY would he say that? That is the question to you.
Simple. He talks shit. You didn't know that?
Is that the same excuse when you bring up Obama?
You did.
Is obama a politician?
Is this one of these times we don't take him seriously or literally? I really do need a score card to keep up
They say "he talks shit" as if we are supposed to be impressed.
He talks shit to trigger the left. Judging by the reactions you all give him....it's working. And it's been pretty entertaining to say the least.
To most leftists he is a god.
To be safe and avoid trump angst it might be safe going with his deeds and not his words
Now you are just making stuff up.
Better than anything on tv
In obama they trust
Well. His deeds are scarier than his words
Oh, we all know that he wants to own the libs but he's gonna have to get up earlier and try harder. Better men than him have tried to own me.
He's not a god. That is just some crazy ass shit made up in the alternate reality world
I react negatively to him "talking shit" because I'm not an idiot. I dont need the president to be an entertainer.
It triggers you.
Neither do I. But then again, I never said HE was entertaining.
Both somewhat similar, but "a lot" is more than "many".
You see alot of people thinking they are much smarter than they actually are. They are often the ones trying to prove to anyone that will listen how smart they are.
Do you think Trump likes smart people ?
Cause He loves the Uneducated for sure !
Chances are he likes anyone that votes for him. You know, like any politician
Not the same thing.
Didn't say it was
In my experience, that is especially true on social media sites!
So you are purposely trying to distract from the point. Makes sense.
Try again
Yep. There are an unbelievable number of Lawyers and Doctors on the internet.
So you are again failing to distract from the point.
Is that better?
No
Tell it to trump, he is the master of doing exactly that.
I did but he won't listen to me
This is Trumps hand today as he apparently gave up on covering it with yellow makeup
He's be better off saying he got it caught in a filing cabinet then trying to pretend the large bruise isnt there.
And you dont get that from shaking hands , unless you have a preexisting condition.
maybe there was some novichok on putin's thumbnail when he shook POS/POTUS's hand in alaska ...
We're not that fortunate. This will not end well for many of us. Watch for Drumph moves on the banking system, that will signal the begining of full forced resistence!
Actually, IMO, Trump has several pre-existing conditions.
He also announced he is allowing 600,000 students from China into the country to study here, completely blowing up the immigrant issue.
What's ICE going to do?
I think he isn't just very, very ill from the looks of him, but he has wandered down the path of no return on his cognitive behavior.
It's not just the chaos, or his deliberate revenge tactics, it's self destruct mania with America being his primary target.
There's a funny line from the Woody Allen movie Bananas where the Latin America dictator, standing on the steps of the presidential palace making proclamations says " From today forward any citizen of the country who is under 16 years of age is now 16 years of age ".
This is what Trump is becoming, mad. Not the angry kind of mad, the other kind.
He really does hate America
He just hates anything and everything that doesn't treat him like the center of the universe.
And people actually love him for it.
If they are here LEGALLY, there is no reason for ICE to be involved.
tell that to the legals they have rounded up and put in holding cells
Are you referring to those whose visa's were rescinded?
Nope.

If any of these were white rightwing conservative US citizens and this happened under the Biden administration Republicans would have been screaming to high heaven, but because they're almost all Hispanic US citizens rightwing conservatives won't give a fuck about their plight of being wrongfully detained. Why not? Because many white rightwing conservatives, if not most, don't consider Hispanic US citizens "real Americans" and think they should be treated as second class citizens and should basically kiss white people's feet for "allowing" them to be here in "their" country.
Well, your little "gotcha" attempt failed. If you even watched the first 10 seconds of the first video link, you would know that the guy was arrested for obstruction, running towards federal officers and biting one of them. Not about suspicion of being an illegal.
Because of the first failure, there is no reason to watch/read the rest because more than likely, they will show similar results........or the "citizens" are unverified and the sources are unnamed.
I take it you didnt watch the whole first video.
You're "gotcha is as much as a failure as Kamala Harris. Did you even watch the videos or read the articles?
1st link - 1 arrested for obstruction ,
2nd link: 1 claiming she didn't have access to water?
3rd link: 1 claiming US citizen children were deported? The FAMILY that was here ILLEGALLY made the decision to take them.
Not even wasting my time with the rest.
It seems his lawyer has security camera footage showing he didnt run at anyone.
The charges against him were DROPPED, certainly to try and avoid bad publicity for going after an American citizen.
If he bit a US law enforcement officer why on earth would the government drop the charges?
Liberal shitbag judge. Seen it those clowns drop charges for more serious crimes.
And you point would be what. It's not what was claimed.
Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
It's in plain English...
thats the problem - its in plain english and still doesnt make any sense
Not my problem.
Correct.
There's absolutely no justification for what they're doing.
(As its obvious that that will not stop them from doing it anyway).
I get why you wouldn't want to watch anymore, you likely have as much problem eating crow as most people do.
The fact is, in the first link, the man was being detained because they believed he was undocumented and then made up the bullshit about him charging at ICE and biting them which of course was dropped because ICE apparently lied. Here's what the other side of the story looks like, and remember, this is from AN AMERICAN CITIZENS own mouth:
Jeremy assumed these were visa revocations, he was wrong. You leaped in to defend him and then just made a fool of yourself. Perhaps you could try watching the rest because they are all very real and all very sad and are happening because of fucked in the head xenophobic bigots and the convicted felon they voted for.
There's plenty of justification.
This one was debunked months ago. No surprise that most on the left still believe it is true because the original source never corrected/deleted it.
Must be a shame being so gullible.
Looks like you are the one who is doing that and trying to cover your goof.
The fact remains that none of your links show that anyone was arrested for suspicion of being an illegal. They were arrested for being dumb asses, something many liberals are known for in their arrest reports.
Have you noticed they never give the WHOLE situation. Just cherry picked parts to fit some idiotic narrative.
I didn't assume a goddamn thing. I ask you a simple fkng question. One that you STILL haven't answered.
The 1st 3 were bullshit, why would we watch the rest?
so these aren't your words?
Hell, you are better than I am. I stopped after the first one knowing the rest were bullshit.
Yes those are my words. Now, do you see the punctuation at the end...looks like this - ? You should have learned about that in grade school. It indicates that there is a question being asked.
It's not an assumption.
I figured I'd give it a few. When what I saw turned out to be 100% bullshit, I stopped. No sense in continuing.
Well, from what I have seen, more people don't want a dictator than do. So he can stuff it right back where it came from.
“many people” Please Mr. 45/47 name 10.
I'll name 10:
There's John, Joe, Bill, Fred, Greg,Mary, Jill, Jenny. Elizabeth...and Altagracia!
OK, now its your turn.
What names would you like to choose for names for 10 people?
