Trump in fighting mood

Wise decision GG13 it’s getting beyond silly now. Mudslinging mostly because posters hate Trump and Musk.
And now they’ve dragged Melanie into it. 🤷‍♀️

Posts don’t always go the way you hope they will FriedGreenTomatoes3. Happens to us all.

Women who support men who behave as he does- have a responsibility in their actions too. She could have left him and called him out- she chose not to. And we are totally entitled to ask what her reasons were. Power, status, money, more- all 3 or more. I am very sure it is not out of love and admiration for that man - who is known to poo his pants in tantrums and expects others to clean him up. I am sure she does not. btw.

No-one has dragged her into where she is- she has chosen to be there, and is now choosing to remain there.

And blaming Governor of California and Biden for the wildfires in LA. He's deranged! God help us all!

GG13, if we all left threads when it doesn't go our way, most discussions would be rather short on here. Having said that, I have left many times because despite being given facts and information contrary to their opinions, some persist in peddling the same ill informed nonsense. I too despise Trump, he is everything bad in a person as far as I am aware. He is a liar, a cheat, crass, and as I have said before, his mockery of a disabled reporter crossed a line for me. You may think otherwise of course, which is up to you.

And now he has an unconditional discharge!!!

It’s a bit confusing in that he has had an unconditional discharge but is still a convicted felon.

And please folks, any expressed sympathies for Melania are seriously misguided. She's MAGA all the way and fully supportive of that dangerous idiot.

👍👍. A very unpleasant woman

I don't know enough about Melania to form an opinion but I always felt sorry for her.
I felt she was trapped.

Indeed Casdon. I have no concerns about that really.
Threads meander.

And yet she speaks very highly of you.

😂 I shouldn't laugh.

But I did!

Gossip Claremont? Tittle tattle?
If not, please quote your source. It sounds a preposterous accusation!

I dislike Trump immensely but slurs like this are just vile unless proven to be true. Weren't some sections of social media saying that Biden was soiling himself in public before he stood down from standing for re-election? An equally vile and vacuous allegation.

There are many medical reasons why an adult might do this.

For most of my childhood I had a medical condition that caused faecal incontinence and was horribly bullied because of this.

Even if what Claremont says is true, it is no cause to taunt the unfortunate person. Seems to me Claremont was one of those playground bullies that made my life such a misery.

What with Trump and Musk 2025 looks to be an interesting year - I gather Britain is to be liberated

Mudslinging mostly because posters hate Trump and Musk. And now they’ve dragged Melanie into it

FGT I assume Musk and Trump won’t object to any so-called mudslinging - them being such believers in free speech an all!!!

As an aside, I have been scrolling through twitter (X) today, which is something I haven’t done for a long time - and there are some very, very disturbing threads/posts on there which I am sure would not previously been allowed. One so ghastly that if I quoted it I would be zapped I am sure. But it is extreme anti-semitism.

Another showing “British Patriots” cornering a young Asian man accusing him of gang rape.

I hope this is just a blip, but not convinced it is.

If its available in the UK both shouldn't be OK.

The latter example directly related to Musk's posts on gangs.
How to spread hatred, I don't want him in UK life.

I read that Musk is getting his ‘information’ about other countries from extremists writing on Twitter. Which is why he thinks Robinson is a good guy.

The first was related to the fires in California.

It flows I am sure from Trumps rhetoric.

How on earth do we fight such gross awfulness?

Well we could think about why people are turning away from the left. That might help.

Come off X is my solution. Millions have already done so, and it’s losing advertisers too. The more extreme it gets, the less universally popular it will be.

I have tbh I do go on bluesky, but someone this week said that we shouldn’t leave it to the haters, and should fight back - not that I would do much fighting as I never post on either - just read.

I think it’s pointless to fight back on X, because it’s become very antagonistic, and people are so rude, let the haters hate is my take on it. I noticed in the news that universities in the UK are coming off it in large numbers. It’s not a healthy environment.

Melania is not a captive audience. I used to feel for her too, then her staff started releasing tapes of what she has said in private. She knows who he is and stays. I was surprised to see her at Carters funeral and will also be surprised if she moves into the White House. Actually, I will be surprised if he moves into it.

Trump is a convicted felon. The unconditional discharge just means they acknowledge he is a felon but can not be sentenced to jail because he is POTUS.

The Jack Smith files, volume 1, is expected to be released as soon as Monday. If the Supreme Court doesn't block them, we should be getting a real good look at the other felonies he was involved in but will never be tried for, including but not limited to, an insurrection and making classifed files available to other countries via Maralago.

Musk is hosting (can't remember when) a member of the AfD on X soon.

X is now a far right cesspool and people are fleeing it quickly. Facebook just announced that it is going down the same path and has fired all the fact checkers. Labeling your wife as property is now allowed. Same for anti LGBTQ statements, including slurs.

By the way, Facebook used blackmarket copyrighted documents to train their AI and is currently tangled in lawsuits.

None of these billionaires care about any of us. We are commodities to them and they will absolutely throw us all under the bus to achieve more money and power.

I was surprised to see her at Carters funeral

How so imaround?
As the wife of the POTUS in waiting I thought it was a sincere way to show her respects. I admired her very much for doing so. Michele Obama cited ‘a clash of engagements’.

It was also exactly a year since Melania’s own much loved mother died. She did well to remain so composed I thought.
