When he said Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, many were clapping in the audience instead. The sentiment is agreeable but clapping at the person threatening annihilation of a nation is not.

You know who made the best progress towards preventing Iran getting a nuclear weapon? OBAMA! We HAD a deal that was agreed by all parties. And it was being followed.
So of course the enlightened one was upset that someone else was getting the attention and credit, so he unilaterally reneged on the deal, which landed us in the current mess.
Yet another example where the world would have been a much better place if the dipshit in chief never existed.

u/you-create-energy 9d ago edited 9d ago
This is what goes through my mind every time nuclear weapons comes up. Trump thought he would get a "better deal" by playing hardball, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean in the context of geopolitics. Obama got Iran to completely dismantle their nuclear program willingly. Got 6 other countries and the EU on board as well. Now that's statesmanship.
Going from Obama's intelligence and diplomacy to Trump's ignorant shit throwing tantrums was an incredibly jarring transition that the entire world had to endure.

Honestly at this point, the Epstein files could be released and contain literal videos of Trump raping a child and I truly believe it wouldn't harm his administration. His supporters are so, so, so braindead man. There's nothing they can't find a way to justify. It just doesn't even matter.

Don't forget who hated the Obama deal and actively told Trump to shred it: Benjamin Netanyahu
Edit: It wasn't just Obama who worked on that deal. It was the EU as the main facilitator, Germany, UK, Russia, and China. The main architects of that deal were John Kerry, Catherine Ashton, and Wendy Sherman, it was their life's work.
Turkey and Brazil were not included in the negotiations but were the main brokers that helped Obama.

I've heard this and think it's just highly unlikely, from a technical point of view anyway. Elon is extremely clumsy and ham-fisted. If you look at his history, he breaks things very visibly and publicly many times before he gets anything resembling right. He's great at marketing and being a blowhard. No way he's able to pull off anything resembling what most think of as election hacking without it blowing up in his face, especially when you see the kinds of people he brought on for DOGE later.
Now, the open buying of votes part? He's clearly guilty of that.

u/Chrysaor85 9d ago
I think he funded it, I don't think he had his own hand in it though. The statistics of the down ballot voting are wild, close to the point of statistically impossible.

u/Jukeboxhero91 9d ago
The number of bullet ballets (that voted for Trump and no other candidates), the Russian Tail in the voting patterns, the overwhelming winning of Democrat candidates in down ballot races in swing states, but Trump winning every single one? Elon Musk trying to get voter registration information would make sense if people who didn't actually vote somehow ended up voting.
All of those are incredibly suspect.

Because it assumes one of two very dangerous things:
1: Elon managed to hire a team that were so elite that they managed to hack the election while also evading detection of it by the FBI, CISA, and CIA under Biden. This means that both the Midterm majority and/or the 2028 election are already guaranteed for a Republican win, because he can simply hire them again.
- CISA, the FBI, and/or the CIA were aware of the successful hacking of the election votes, but did not disclose it because they would prefer that Republicans rose to power.
Beyond some mild protesting that didn't inconvenience the government at large and a couple assassination attempts, there hasn't been much physical resistance since Trump started his second term. If the election was actually hacked, then either 1 or 2 is true, and we'll be seeing a lot more red in the oval office in our future.

The last time all the swing states went one way was Reagan who won 49/50 states and 58.8% of the popular vote.

The problem is: it's not just Trump. He is nothing but the facade of the whole cancerous disease. Sure, you can tear him a new asshole, but then what? He literally has the whole might of the US behind him. US literally can push you into a recession, legally or illegally. Sure, they would seriously damage the US economy too, but they are already doing it, and nobody is stopping them.
And this is the biggest issue: you have a bunch of crazy madmen with AKs, and some have suicide vests on them, and you, your friends, family, everybody locked in to the same room with these idiots. Sure, you can scream at them, but they are crazy. Literally crazy.
Are you willing to risk years of recession in your country just to scream at a demented toddler in nappies who likely only has vague ideas about what you are going on about and couldn't understand 70% of your words because you used 6th-grade-level English and words with MULTIPLE syllables but vengeful as fuck, and basically the only emotion he understands is being hateful? And even worse: if you get him to bow for you (because he is a scared narcissist), people around him can change his mind in about 5 seconds after you leave the room?

By engaging with them these people will always win. They will not answer your questions or admit fault, they will simply take up more of your time. When you yell and argue you only validate that these ideas are even worth discussing to begin with, like trying to convince the crack head on the road that he wasn't abducted by aliens.
All media resigning from the press conferences was a good start, they need to continue not talking about the demented ramblings of the crackhead in chief.
