      Am I crazy or do presidents-elect usually not get this involved so early and so publicly? Like he’s been meeting with world leaders and whatnot?

        During the 2008 financial crisis both Obama and McCain had White House meetings to try and figure out a solution, that was before the election. But I guess in that instance they were all basically on the same team and Bush didn’t want to set up his successor for failure, whomever it was (McCain would’ve probably done the exact same thing).

          You know it’s bad when you look back at Bush’s time in office with a sense of nostalgia…

            I mean, I don’t. He was terrible and I hate that Democrats are laundering his and the Cheney’s reputations. It’s just that Republicans have always been on a downhill trajectory, each President worse than their predecessor.

          It is nice to hear when politicians are actually working together to try and solve a big problem.

          That would never happen with Trump.

        You’re not crazy. no.

        But, eh, he’s been meeting with World Leaders™️through out Biden’s term, and that’s really not normal either. (well. with the exception of the sitting president asking an ex pres to do some negotiating or something. That kinda happens.)

    Imagine if you reached the point of Trump exhaustion after a month of Trump’s campaign in 2015, and then learned it was going to continue for at least 13 more years.

        That’s a nice thought. There’ll probably be at least one mainstream publication that simultaneously reports on the inevitable parties in the streets. That’ll be the one worth framing.

        Sometimes I wonder if Trump actually died during his first term and was replaced by a (much younger) body double. I mean, is that something they wouldn’t be able to get away with?

      In one of the letters police say were found on his phone, Livelsberger expressed support for Donald Trump and the president-elect’s allies, Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He also expressed disdain for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and income inequality and expressed a concern about homelessness, according to the letters.

      Source for above is ABC

            Are you referring to the civilian deaths in Nimruz?

            I read through what I think is the email. It kind of sounds like some guilt and disillusionment mixed with paranoia over the Jersey drones and China.

            I could see it as some sort of plea to Musk and Trump, but it’s not easy logic to follow. Unless it’s m just reading it wrong or something.

        With it being his second term, it’s not surprising he knows what he wants to do and who he wants to meet with. It’s going to be a disaster like the first term, except this time he knows what he’s doing and can be an even more efficient disaster.

    In defense of the green beret, he blew himself up to make a statement that the government is selfish and we should band together as a country.

    But of course, it’s used to slander trump and his supporters anyways.

    His words fell on deaf ears. His brother mentioned Trump. His ex wife said he didn’t particularly speak about politics.

    But the message on his phone about his feelings and trauma is pretty chilling.

    A decorated war veteran tried sending a message, and nobody was listening.

      He also blew himself up over sci-fi bullshit regarding Chinese drones with gravitic propulsion devices. He was sending a message all right, a lunatic one. I listened and easily determined it was both crazy and nonsense. So I guess he got what he wanted in me?

      I haven’t read a single thing about it so grain of salt. I literally have nothing beyond your comment.

      If he decided to do that after Trump’s election… He clearly didn’t believe Trump would fix things. He clearly considered trump part of the problem not part of the solution.

      Again based entirely and only on what you said. I’ve been to busy to read about it personally.

      It sounds like he was not “pro-trump” based on what you said.

        That might be your read, but it’s not correct. This guy does not rationalize things the same way you would. Here are all the parts of his statement that should convince you.

        #1

        Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary.

        #2

        Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEI is a cancer. Thankfully we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s.

        #3

        Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony for all Americans

          Why a Tesla? Why in front of trumps building? Why after he won?

          I don’t know. I guess crazy people do crazy things. Doesn’t make too much sense to me tho

    Why would a pro-Trump supporter blow up a car outside of one of his properties? Something doesn’t add up. And in one picture he had a pro-Ukraine shirt on. Doesn’t really make sense.
