Hide your kids, hide your wife, because they're arresting everybody out there!
More nonsense about Trump in MSM while the government starts sliding the RESTRICT act across the floor.

Are you even a US citizen? Were you ever?

If you can't attack an argument, attack the person saying it. Trumpism in a nutshell.
Well your location says Tokyo... and what argument? Didn't realize Japan was constantly under attack. We should send billions.

Location and nationality is irrelevant. Believe it or not, we also get the news here. Or did being born in America automatically bestow citizens with the ability to discern fact from fiction that the rest of the world lacks?
Well the dude asked and you took it as an attack after criticizing his comment... Now you're saying that location/nationality are irrelevant, but then you ask if being born in America bestows a third eye. Now if I felt attacked because of you asking about where I was born, is that because of Trumpism on your part?

This is what's sometimes referred to as a rhetorical question. I did not ask where you were from nor do I care as it pertains to this discussion. You should only feel attacked if on the contrary, you believe that being born in America gives you special powers, and this was not just obvious hyperbole.
Ah I see, rhetoric as a stand-in for substance. You'll have to excuse me, I'm new here. Much to learn. See, what I always understood was people feel attacked by their own definitions, not someone else's. So when you said the other guy attacked you, I thought it was kind of serious, but now I know better.

Well you've certainly come to the right subforum for learning new things.
All Narad does is vaguely attack without providing actual context.

There's a certain poetry to Trump's first criminal proceeding being about paying hush money to a porn star. It really helps tell the rest of the world what type of country we are. Election fuckery? Meh. Business fuckery? Meh. Possibly causing an attempted insurrection? Meh. Paid a porn star hush money? NOW THAT'S AMERICAN!

Though, technically, it’s not for paying the hush money - that’s legal. While the exact charges are still sealed, it looks like this will be 32 indictments for fraud for attempting to pass the payment(s) off as as legitimate campaign expenses.
The RESRICT act is a glaring example of why there should be age limits in government. The entire TikTok hearing was an embarrassment to watch, the members of Congress came off like absolute idiots.

We already sent two nuclear bombs, isn't that enough? Those things weren't cheap!
Basic point, though, that the media can and does report on more than one story at a time, does still stand.
For all Trump's Truth Social ranting about how the US is now just some banana republic, 1) I'd argue that holding leaders above the law, rather than persecuting them for their crimes as one would in France or Italy or Israel or England, is far more reminiscent of a banana republic, 2) as is ranting that anything negative that happens to you is, and I quote, the work of "thugs and radical left monsters."

Aren't you guys currently throwing the book at Boris Johnson? Or did I misread that?
