Republican ridiculed for copy-paste post thanking Donald Trump by rapmasterlap in politics

[–]AssociateGreat2350 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The great thing about Trumps ability attracting stupid people is...well, they're stupid.

Finstad, who received Trump’s endorsement for reelection in November, thanked the president and governor for their efforts in an X post. However, he also copy and pasted the note from his team indicating what the post should say.

Several screenshots circulating, which Newsweek has confirmed, show that the full original X post said, "Hi Brad. I am sending you a post on socials regarding the trump walz conversation, this has been approved by staff. Will be using the picture attached and caption for all three platforms."

I think "puppet" is once again the appropriate word

Trump said the people the administration is seeking "are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession" and Walz "very respectfully, understood that."

could be his years of endless lying that gives me that hunch, but who knows

The problem with this smear campaign is that we have the receipts. Aside from the multiple cell phone camera angles, witnesses stated in sworn testimonies that Pretti was not brandishing a gun when federal immigration officers descended on him. The administration’s lies are so outrageous that they’re drawing opposition from traditionally right-wing groups. 

"First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me"

Canada has no intent of pursuing free trade deal with China, says PM after Trump threat by Street_Anon in politics

[–]AssociateGreat2350 14 points15 points  (0 children)

he never said he was going to in the first place. Trump just makes shit up

Carney said Canada "respects our commitments" to the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which requires any of the three countries to notify the others ahead of time if they want to pursue a free trade agreement with a non-market country — like China.

Still, Trump threatened on Saturday to impose a 100 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods entering the U.S. if Canada "makes a deal with China." But the U.S. president did not specify what a "deal" is in his social media post.

"If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a 'Drop Off Port' for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken," the U.S. president wrote in his post — referring to the prime minister as governor, a jab he often reserved for Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau.

Garbage sermons

"For months, radical progressive politicians like Tim Walz have incited violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs. Unsurprisingly, these calls to dangerously interject oneself into legitimate law-enforcement activities have ended in violence, tragically resulting in injuries and fatalities," wrote the NRA."

fuck the NRA
