A Chinese fighter jet crashed near the Taiwan strait earlier this month and neither side have confirmed/denied anything about the reason it crashed.

Lolling that Trump and the GOP think Putin is a nice guy because he's a nationalist bigoted criminal like them (and also he sends them money) so they're like "he can't be that bad, can he?"

Sure, Putin is absolutely not trying to crumble the US from within. Don't trust what your intelligence services warned you about, lol

It is and always has been his entire persona that he is a wealthy businessman and without it he has nothing. It's why talking about him being bad with money was the one thing he would not tolerate and why the number one defense from his supporters when his failures to get results as POTUS were pointed out was to point to the stock markets "because he's running the country like his businesses." A lot of the people who voted for him did it because they thought he could make them wealthy but now Republicans are having to admit that he can't even make himself wealthy. If it's fake then there's no leaker to go after because there was no leak.

Every Trump cultist will simply claim he's so smart for avoiding taxes.

This story doesn't mean to them he's not making tons of money, just that he doesn't pay taxes, something they all want to emulate.

The tax part isn't even that important; the focus should be on how he's paying his children millions in consultancy fees, just another of his scams to funnel public money into his pockets.

You can probably help stop populism and far-right spreading in your own country, because with the COVID stuff and disinformation campaigns things aren't going well.

Here in Belgium the Vlaams Belang (Belgian far right) is paving the way for taking the power in the coming years, massively targeting younger people and flooding social medias with propaganda.

I mean I feel bad for Americans too, but at this stage, I think all we can do is stop the crazy conspiracy theories from leaking into Europe too much. Because as we can see in the Trump thread, this is what is poisoning the minds of people.

And I'm just sitting here with my stupid sign that says "Love eachother for gently caress's sake" and trying to deprogram loving family members and sometimes I want to scream.

What I really hate is the only exposure most people here have to immigrants are all the reports of young hopeless Afghans/Iraqis/etc doing crimes, which of course is happening but not like a crazy epidemic or something. Meanwhile my previous neighbours are Syrian refugees who came here after their family got slaughtered home for being Christians, and their business burned down. They are both engineers and live with 2 kids in an appartment the same size I was living in alone as a student. One of the kid is starting university and the mother would randomly knock on my door to offer me food.

These people are so much better human beings than all the racist fucks claiming all refugees are only coming here to steal our jobs and profit from our system and that they risk nothing back home.

there's probably still a very large numer of people who vote for trump because they saw him on the apprentice and think he's a successful businessman. so revealing he's in debt might lose him a couple of votes i hope :shrug:

Uh, lol no.

Maybe that's what introduced them to Trump, but after 4 years of brainwashing they will never leave the cult.

It's like in Scientology, after spending huge amount of time, energy and money into that worldview, when you are finally revealed you live into a Hubbard Sci-fi novel, your critical sense just switches off so you don't have to face the harsh truth that you were a gullible idiot.

Cults (and being a chud is being in a cult) are 100% about sunk costs fallacy. They will double down saying it's all an attack from the deep state and lying media rather than having to re-examine their beliefs.

That's why conspiracy theories and disinformation are so dangerous, it's almost impossible to deprogram someone who invests themselves in it.

Next's season synopsys:

Trump survives but the virus mutated inside his body, giving birth to a new far deadlier strain. A new cluster started among the GOP, and eventually 99% of the population is wiped out by the "Trump virus".

With civilization gone, global warming stops, biodiversity increases, conflicts stop, and a new golden age starts that people call "the Maga age".

Trumpianism becomes the new dominant religion and a new Trumpian year count is started.

hey what happened to all the 2012 people? like, there seemed to be a lot of people going all-in on the idea that 2012 was the end of the world, where did they all go when the bubble burst?

Real answer: they say that in 2012 earth started a process of raising its frequency into 4D. The world entered a period of chaos and depending on how you deal with it you are either reincarnated into 3D earth again, or you can move to the next level on the new parallel 4D earth.

I'm completely serious.

Also every time they are a bit anxious they post "the energy today is crazy! I think the frequency is increasing or possibly we are jumping timelines" then all the crazies come join the party and claim "I feel it too"

It's really weird because Remdesivir supresses the immune system because it is used when the body's immune system is over-reacting like a cytokene storm which is common in severe covid cases.

It would probably make the virus a lot worse if your immune system was suppressed. So perhaps Trump is just pushing for whatever drugs/treatments he has seen on TV even if the doctors don't recommend it.

So they're either lying about how bad the symptoms are or the treatments or both. who knows, 4 years of basically destroyed credibility and everyone is too afraid to tell the truth.

The way I understand it, Covid-19 causes inflamatory responses in the body, leading to the symptoms we know.

Suppressing the immune system would thus diminish Covid-19 symptoms (which can be devastating), but you are right, it wouldn't fight the virus itself.

Coz if so, then it will be fat hillbilly republicans waiting the 8 hours to vote, whilst liberals will have already done so. And looking at the CHUDs, I can see a bunch of the lazy fucks walking away and not bothering to stand in line long enough to get to the ballot box.

Here's another question. It's along the lines of "Trump, but smart", so has probably been asked and answered many times.

But looking at the mountain of graft, corruption, criminality, and downright lies that the Trump administration has been guilty of. To absurd degrees even, (fake Melania, coked up DTjr claiming death rate is almost nothing on a day 1000 people die, literally breaking open postboxes etc.), and how they get away with it. Imagine the horror when/if a competent administration, run by someone who can easily pass a dementia cognitive test sees this and realizes what THEY can get away with.

Coz if DonDon and his army of moronic sycophants, (motherfucker chose Guiliani as his personal lawyer), can get away with this, what could someone good at their job get away with.

Think on that America.

What makes you think it wasn't already the case? Only difference is the Trumps are so dumb everything they do is super obvious
