I'm shit at translating Trump so could any of the gifted and talented class interpret what this means for democracy? I guess all those predictions about the WEF taking over the world two years later at the latest, and the massive Deagal depopulation next year are off the table for starters?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Trump's VP pick JD Vance has a wife who isn't white, and that has disgruntled some of Trump's supporters who found that disappointing.

Which leaves Vance in a tricky position. On the one hand, it's his wife and the mother of his children getting threatened. But on the other hand...they are voters!

So he has done a really great job in walking the tightrope. A masterclass.

Vance on attacks on his wife: "Obviously, she’s not a white person, and we’ve been accused, attacked by some white supremacists over that. But I just, I love Usha.” https://t.co/mRfCVnSTJS

“Obviously she’s not a white person…but I love Usha, she’s such a good mom.”

Honestly this is such a weird way to respond to white supremacist attacks on your Indian American wife. Pathetic. pic.twitter.com/aC5BIOzm1D

I can see why they got on

“The Jews had better start being nice to people like us, because what comes out of this is going to get a lot uglier for them…”

Usha Vance has faced a slew of far-right attacks targeting her Indian heritage following her husband’s nomination to the Republican ticket.

“Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” prominent white supremacist Nick Fuentes said of Vance after former President Trump announced his running mate.

Fuentes was invited to Mar-a-Lago by Trump in November 2022, stirring a firestorm of criticism.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Two weeks in and already Trump's "I only hire the bestest people" mantra looks nonsense. Let's be clear that he had a choice between appointing a potential VP that broadened the ticket. Instead, scarred by Mike Pence (himself a reinforcement of the Christian constituency) having a pair of independent bollocks when Trump needed an undemocratic follower has gone for a "born again" Trumpist lickspittle who will slavishly do his bidding.

But so far his most notable baggage has been rabidly taking a line on the Supreme Court take down of Roe vs Wade that is way to the right of the line that Trump is trying to steer and endorsing books by the dangerous Project 25 loonies that Trump swears he has never heard of.

For the Democrats, if Carlsberg did potential Republican VPs.......

Are you trying to say that former Catholic Mike Pence was not now (and also when Trump originally selected him) "born again" himself (?)

I can honestly say I’ve never heard the phrase ‘born again Catholic’.

Read what I said, "former Catholic Mike Pence", not a Catholic who is also 'born again'.

Pence was already 'born again' and had rejected the RCC when he was initially selected by Trump.

"I call complete BS"

San Francisco's former mayor Willie Brown has dismissed as "fiction" Donald Trump's story that they once endured a scary helicopter trip together.

The former president said on Thursday that he and Mr Brown "went down" in a helicopter together and Mr Brown was "a little concerned".

"We thought maybe this was the end," Trump said. "We were in a helicopter... and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing."

Mr Brown, 90, told US media he had never shared a helicopter with Trump, adding: "I don't think I'd want to ride on the same helicopter with him".

Trump, 78, appeared to be confusing Mr Brown with Jerry Brown, California's former governor, with whom he shared a helicopter ride in 2018 to visit the aftermath of the Paradise wildfires. Gavin Newsom, the current state governor, was also on the flight.

Both men told US media there was no emergency landing or danger. "I call complete BS," Mr Newsom told The New York Times.

Recent polls swinging against him. He's getting more and more desperate...and befuddled.

The WEF has replaced the UN as the entity supposedly taking over the globe. I remember coming across some so-called militia men in Arizona who camping on an official tourist campsite, rigged out in combat gear, ready to take up arms against the UN and relating that European leaders were all commies. Thatcher was our PM at the time.
