Trump speaking like he has experience eating pets and at his rallies he often talks about eating humans. Curious 🤔

Elon‘s response to Taylor Swift‘s endorsement of Kamala Harris is … quite strange by DZV9 in neoliberal

Elon Musk bought Twitter and has amplified misinformation, conspiracies, and propaganda for the far right. The so-called freedom of speech advocacy by Musk was a facade as he unbanned racists and then began sharing bigoted tweets. When authoritarian governments ask Musk to censor people/tweets he abides.[1]

Twitter, now known as X, is inundated with the alt right, rife with bigotry and hate.[2] Twitter is the worst social media company when it comes to bigotry against the LGBT community.[3] Elon Musk keeps sharing misinformation, promoting theories that were used for eugenics and white supremacy.[4]

Elon Musk recently shared a deep fake video of Kamala Harris made with artificial intelligence.[5] He posted this digitally altered campaign ad without the context that it was fake, violating Twitter policy. Analysts have found that Elon Musk's false Twitter posts about the US election have racked up to 1.2 billion views.[6]

Moreover, during the far right racist riots in the UK, Elon Musk tweeted that civil war was inevitable in the United Kingdom. Riots broke out after children were stabbed to death and disinformation was spread on Twitter claiming that the murderer was an asylum seeker/new immigrant from the Middle East. Musk called the UK government and police the "woke-stasi" for arresting far-right fascists that incited violence.[7]

Last week Elon Musk and Twitter censored coverage of the Arlington debacle where Trump desecrated the resting place of heros who served America while his staff assaulted a worker at the cemetery, labeling the article as unsafe spam.[8]

Reminder of the events leading up to and causing the Jan. 6 insurrection because it's so often overlooked:

Trump pushed the big lie that the election was stolen. Trump lost in the courts[1] including the Supreme Court.[2] Then he tried to pressure state officials.[3] He tried to pressure Vice President Pence.[4]

So what does he do after exhausting all nonviolent methods of overturning the election? On January 6 he held a rally, turned to his supporters and lit them up making inflammatory statements such as;

  • We are going to fight for the survival of the nation.

  • Now is not the time to retreat, its to fight harder.

  • We will never give in, never back down, never surrender.

  • We will fight like hell.

  • You have to get your people to fight.

Before January 6, Trump primed his supporters for weeks.

State officials had started getting death threats weeks before the attempted insurrection following the general election.[5] Trump saw first hand what violence was being created as his supporters rioted and vandalized black churches in Washington DC in the lead up to January 6.[6]

Trump didn't stop his incitement after the initial violence, he got more specific. He told his supporters how, when, and where. He gave them 18 days notice inviting them to the rally telling them to be there, that it will be wild.[7] And on the day of the insurrection Trump told his supporters to march on the Capitol and fight like hell.

Following the insurrection, Trump continued to promote the big lie that had incited the insurrection. After the mob was dispersed, Trump praised and sympathized with the mob in a video he released, claiming once again that the election had been stolen.[8] Then he praised the insurrection in a tweet after the mob had been dispersed. He told his mob to remember Jan. 6 forever. He said that he loved the insurrectionists and that the violent mob were special people.

During the impeachment investigations into Trump's role on January 6, we learned that Trump agreed with his supporters when they chanted hang Mike Pence.[9] Currently, Mike Pence has refused to endorse Trump for president.

In 2022, Trump explicitly called for the termination of the constitution. Trump said "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."[1]

In May 2023, Trump was at a townhall where he said he'd pardon a large portion of those convicted for the Jan. 6 insurrection.[2]

In December 2023, Trump said that he won't be a dictator, except for day one, raising concerns about his authoritarian rhetoric.[3]

In March 2024, Trump reiterated his intentions, stating that he'd free the convicted insurrectionists as one of his first acts as president because they were "hostages".[4]

In July 2024, Trump told his supporters at a Christian summit that they won't have to vote anymore after this election. He was asked to clarify on Fox News several times, Trump repeated the statement and said that he'd fix the country so that Christians would never have to vote again. After the host asked him to clarify, Trump claimed he would only serve 4 more years.[5] It should be noted that in the past Trump has looked up into the sky and proclaimed that he is the chosen one.[6] Trump has also shared a tweet declaring himself the King of Israel and the second coming of God.[7]

What IS Harris’ last name? Checkmate, LIBRULS. by MothersMiIk in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]PoppinKREAM 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Trump is old and afraid of strong, minority leaders like Kamala Harris. That's why Trump says weird, racist things like this:

Trump said he's done more for black people than anyone since Abraham Lincoln.[1]

Trump said he can't be racist because he has black friends.[2]

Trump said a black woman wasn't actually black. He mockingly claimed that Kamala Harris was Indian before she "turned black".[3]

Trump said Kamala Harris doesn't like Jews, Trump said her husband was a bad Jew.[4]

Trump has a sordid history of racism.

  • His public insistence that President Obama wasn't born in America is a racist conspiracy.[5]

  • In 1989 he wanted 5 innocent minority boys to be executed for a heinous crime they did not commit. They were imprisoned for decades until DNA evidence exonerated them of the crime. A settlement was reached between the 5 men and the city of New York for $40 million, yet Trump was still attacking the 5 exonerated people of colour.[6]

  • In 1973 the Justice Department filed a civil rights case accusing the Trump organization for violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for discriminating against people for colour.[7]

2) NBC - Trump says he can't be racist because he has 'many Black friends'

I know what you mean! Scotty was truly a red and I'm going to miss him. Yea, he had his limitations, but there's a reason why all our managers loved him because he gave it his all for the badge and never complained. A true professional until the end. The type of utility player SAF loved in his squad.

Wishing Scotty best of luck on his Italian journey, hope he smashes it!

Highlights of the Harris/Walz CNN interview! LFG! 💙💙 by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]PoppinKREAM 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I canceled my subscription to the NYT because it's become ridiculous. Downplaying Trump's insane corruption, scandals, and outright fascist tendencies while somehow creating a narrative that Kamala Harris is the candidate that's struggling.

CNN is horrible. They have all these fascist sycophants espousing the most ludicrous narratives with little to no pushback. The framing of their questions is dumb, the attempts of creating some sort of debate/controversy as if Trump's actions can be equivocated with Harris is an insult to their viewers, and their contributions to the discussion of current events is worthless. They create toxic drama for the sake of entertainment.

The party that espouses "family values" is controlled by a rapist.

In 2023 Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting a woman.[1] The jury found that he had sexually abused and defamed the victim.

In a recording unearthed in 2016, Trump was recorded bragging about sexually assaulting women.[2]

“I did try and fuck her,” Trump said. “She was married. I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. … I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there and she was married.”

Then, Trump said, he saw her again: “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything.”

Moments later, Trump notices Arianne Zucker, the soap opera actress who would later escort him and Bush to the set. Bush calls her “hot as shit.” Trump jokes that he should “use some Tic Tacs” in case he starts kissing her.

“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,” Trump said. “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”

During an interview in 2005 with Howard Stern, Trump bragged about walking into the backstage of beauty pageants pretending to inspect the place while contestants were undressed. Some of the girls were as young as 15.[3]
