A Mediaite repost of Daily Mail…
I keep saying this over, and over, and over again in this community. Keep information hygiene in mind, please. Post the original source at least, and try to avoid serial reposters, like Mediaite. Mention Mediaite in the body as your original reference, if you wish.
…And try to avoid tabloids like Daily Mail, too, or at least mention a “take the source with a grain of salt” in the post’s body if its an interesting original report. This is good reference to start with:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources
But no one ever cares.
Past commenters seem to agree when I bring this up, yet poster and mods don’t do anything.
This is the final straw for me. I don’t like blocking anything; I’ve only blocked two other Lemmy communities, one a bot spamming one. But I’m blocking /c/News, as apparently it isn’t going to change, and I came to the fediverse to get away from mass-upvoted tabloid reposts flooding the top of my feed.
They block and alter jobs numbers. This shouldn’t be a surprise.
He cheats at golf.
He cheats at marriage.
He fucks and tortures children.
I literally saw one of the caddies drop a ball where Trump was going to stroke it. They weren’t subtle. They might as well just have someone near the hole to drop one in the moment Trump makes his first stroke to say he has a hole in one despite all evidence to the contrary
Every time diaper donnie talks about golf, I think of this story. It was relevant in his first failed term, now that he’s gone completely unchained in his second failed term, especially when we see his cabinet “meetings” and the way he holds pressers in front of a compliant media, all the more so…
But in the 1990s - another moment in time when an event in North Korea varies (some say it happened in 1991 and others in 1994), the late dictator, then 50 (or 53) years old, set a golfing standard that will assuredly never be surpassed. It occurred at the grand opening of the Pyongyang Golf Complex, which contains North Korea’s only 18-hole golf course.
After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34 at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance, the score included an amazing 11 aces. Naturally, the event was dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency.
Are you sure it wasn’t a reptile egg?
Sometimes I hate writing on my phone, but I make countless typos that change the meaning of my posts. At least I can correct them.
But to answer your question: Even a reptile egg is too dignified to do what Trump wants it to do.
Hey Iran, I bet you could get a sizeable bomb to maralago, just say you’re giving him a golden gift and he’ll be there. Maybe get lucky and his whole cabinet too.
Put it in a giant wooden horse. He legit would have no idea.

They always aim for NY.
Cool, so while dimbulb donnie is invading other countries for no fucking reason and Stephen Miller is giving absurd quotas of brown people to kidnap and throw in concentration camps and/or extreme rendition, they are increasing the danger to all Americans on top of that?
The White House didn’t accidentally bomb a girls school.
This was done to incite anger, create groups looking for revenge, have a major terrorist activity on US soil, then lock the entire country down “because war”. They want a 9/11.
A terror attack will drum up more support for the war and give them.an excuse to declare emergencies to further trample civil rights.
It’s the best thing that could happen for this administration.
I’m starting to think it’s the actual plan.
300 Million Person March On DC
The point is retaliation to cause an emergency to stop votes
Pretty much
Anyone enjoying their trump vote, so far?
I’m thinking the magatards who cannot even remember what they said they stood for yesterday have permanent erections from things like: fighting “woke”, crushing any remaining dissent in media and entertainment, bombing fishing boats, starting a war with Iran, threatening most of our allies, and most of all, kidnapping and disappearing brown people while shooting protesters.
Will it do them any good at all? Nope. If they were living in a trailer and eking out a miserable existence before, they still will be. It will most likely be even more miserable since things like food and health have been ripped away from many Americans. But at least they get to whoop it up over breaking the country and making others’ lives miserable.
I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.
Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.
I’ve been telling everyone I know that it’s extremely obvious they’re trying to provoke a terror attack on US soil.
They want another 9/11, so they can indefinitely cancel elections. That’s the whole fucking plan.
We didn’t cancel elections after 9/11, and we’ve NEVER cancelled an election in this country, not even during the Civil War.
There is NO justification for cancelling elections, under ANY circumstances.
Right, but almost nothing this administration and government are doing currently is normal or justified. They just do it anyway.
One of the cornerstones of the Project 2025 plan is making the 2024 election the last one. This is how they get there.
We just can’t allow it. No cancelling of elections under any circumstances.
It’s more important that your state authorities understand this, because elections are managed by the states. Trump can “cancel” elections, but it isn’t in his hands. The states would have to cooperate, and what if they don’t? What if they just tell him No, our elections will go on as planned?
We can have our elections anyway, no matter what he wants. If some Red states want to honor his demand, that’s on them, but I suspect that even Red states aren’t going to like it. There are plenty of ambitious MAGAs who want their shot at the corruption, too. They won’t be happy to know that MAGA isn’t accepting any new elected members.
And what about non-federal offices, like state and municipal elections? Those jobs have to be filled, too.
It’s not just a matter of saying no elections, there are a LOT of ripples from it.
Donald Trump is Constitutionally ineligible to be President right now. But here we are. Hopes, prayers, and traditions will not save us from the fucking Nazis.
Besides, the goal isn’t to cancel elections, it’s to control them. Control who gets to vote and for what.
Exactly. W won a second term largely due to 9/11, I’d wager. He started off as extremely divisive and polarizing. Most people were at least deeply sus of him, if not considering him entirely illegitimate. The economy starts to implode.
Fast forward a few months, 9/11 happens, and most of the Murc’s Law Media is falling all over themselves to prostrate before W. People acting like not voting for Republicans is not supporting the troops, or whatever the fuck.
Without 9/11, I don’t see how that guy would have had a second term.
I could easily see a repeat here if there was some big terrorist event that they could blame on Iran. The real blame should lie with Pedonald and his maladministration for attacking Iran and doing a shit job on security here, but we have way too many idiots in this country that operate like windsocks.
Would be funny if it backfires and at the next SOTU just one American does the right thing and set off a bomb vest in the middle of that crowd.
They WANT another major terrorist event. Hell, they would also rather see see dozens of little terrorist events (mass shootings, bombings, etc) by disgruntled Iranians or other people who are pissed off at the US’s actions. They need this shit to justify their actions and enact more measures that are vague enough to apply to anyone… and then apply it exclusively to their opponents and anyone they don’t like. This is how you get highly oppressive laws that are allegedly supposed to stop criminals and terrorists but don’t seem to be doing much in preventing that, but are doing a damn fine job of making social changes and legislation passing/enforcement of things that protect people a lot more difficult.
If an attack doesn’t occur naturally, it will be manufactured.
And they will suck so hard at covering it up that it will be extremely obvious they did it. It will be as obvious as the Alex Pretti murder. What they said was so radically different than what was actually filmed and seen that they genuinely believe reality doesn’t matter.
I am going to call it. They will deliberately stage an event to have as many people attend it as possible. A concert or an indoor venue, they will have no security or minimal security, they will cut out all of the surveillance cameras and they will place multiple small trucks or vans loaded with high explosives into the basement parking and bring down the entire venue.
And they will end up failing at the lack of surveillance and all the footage will be leaked and preserved. Someone livestreaming the event will not have their footage be deleted from the internet and be downloaded. It will be so obvious due to the stupidity and indiscretion of the people tasked with planting the bombs and other factors.
Unfortunately under this scenario the fascists will still be able to cancel the midterms.
FIFA and the Olympics are on the horizon
They will say ‘hey we can do a Munich 1972, too’.
They didn’t like that the team said there were no threats coming from Iran.
Well yeah when you know you need that disaster to happen then you do this, bonus because you might have to do the disaster yourself and you will not have anyone to link it back to you.
literally shut down
Is there another way?
We have figuratively shut it down!
Allowing terrorist attacks opens the door to “national emergency” just in time for election season
This is the plan. Roll out the red carpet for terrorist attacks. Declare national emergency. Cancel elections. Then it’s revolution to get the country back. What a lame timeline
We are about to see what happens when you fire all the competent warfighters and national security personel only to replace them with skinheads, dropouts, and AI.
if America gets attacked because of this fat man and his administration’s war, a firing squad wouldn’t be enough to quelch my rage.
Here’s the real problem that MAGA is going to have: If we get attacked by Iran, we won’t blame Iran, we’ll blame Trump. He thinks it would rally the country around him, the way they rallied around Bush after 9/11, but nobody thought Bush was responsible (at that moment). If we get attacked, it’s TRUMP’S fault.
No one with actualy authority cares who anyone blames. They only care for the desired effects: Elections cancelled. Who fucking cares about opinions? Blame trump all you want for elections cancelled. He doesn’t care. He gets what he wanted and you didn’t. That’s the goal. If the cost of that is all of us blaming trump, their calculus is: that’s the cost of doing business.
He’s a child rapist and murderer isn’t that enough?
He’s getting his tiny rotten mushroom dick half hard at the idea of another 9/11 happening between now and the midterms - he’d so very happily sacrifice 10s of thousands of Americans if it meant more power for himself…
Sort of how George W had intel that Bin Laden was planning on flying planes into buildings months before 9/11. Lucky for George, he got his war and a 2nd term. Everybody else suffered.
So did you see the email inviting Ghislane Maxwell on the 9/11 shadow commission? It has renewed intrest in the Pentagon, WTC-7 and all the money that went missing that day.
Did not hear about this. What?! 😦
Some about a pilot too. Also the Franklin Scandal and Alisha Owens aren’t in there yet but probably will be
There were flaws in US intelligence sharing prior to 9/11, but those alone do not explain the monumental intelligence failure of not stopping the attacks. They had a fuckload of tips and ‘traditional’ shit that involved people practically screaming and banging pots together and yelling ‘dude! They’re planning to fly planes into the towers! These are their names and addresses! Arrest them!’ But nothing happened.
He just wanted to be like his dear old dad!
But daddy didn’t get a second term after middle-eastern terrorists attacked the world trade center under his watch.
White House blocking intelligence.
I hope this becomes a slasher film of the Epstein Class.
I would 100% watch a movie of the Epstein class being slowly fed into woodchippers
What the fuck are they planning? Another Sep 11th?
Very clearly and brazenly, yes.
Elections will be put on hold. Epstein investigations put on hold. The current government will absolutely allow it’s civilians to be killed in order to achieve these goals. That’s what dictators do.
Who knows.
I know it’s far-fetched conspiracy-theory territory…but it is pretty sus that this dude who was close with like most world leaders had millions of his correspondence released to the public under the Epstein Transparency Act…except for the ones between 1999 and 2001.
10 times worse!
9110?
8.1818181818181818…
Well you don’t need intelligence reports. The religious leaders of a religion of 150~200 million believers just declared a jihad against the US and Israel to avenge their equivalent of the Pope that is considered to have died in martyr. Even if only 0.01% of them are religious fanatics, you still have at least 15000 people convinced they’ll go to heaven if they die in terror attacks against US or Israeli citizens.
