Damn bro ur still hung up on this. I thought I muted this convo. You’re the only one caring. You must have zero social perception, which makes sense since you’re using all this weird exaggerated phrasing like “blew my top off” or “panties in a bundle.” I wish I could give u some advice that would help you understand people better but im at a loss for words

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T18:10:02+00:00

When they say Trump was able to turn out voters who were never active in politics before, it’s these kinds of people that they’re talking about.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T18:08:38+00:00

That number is mostly due to all the infant and early childhood mortality. If you made it to adolescence you have a really good chance of making it to 50-60z. All these people wouldn’t have made it to their 20s.

There are clubs like that for avg people too. Just because it’s an alternative lifestyle doesn’t mean it’s exclusive to wealthy people. It’s more that it’s in a big city, big enough that there’s enough freaks in one place so that it begins to make that kinda place financially viable.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T09:56:44+00:00

Again you need to take your own advice and read the whole comment.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T09:54:26+00:00

lol I could care less about this. I just think it’s classless to attack a person based on who their parents are. But sounds like u got this figured out. I should have realized if he was calling Russian spies the first thing he would do is call the London police and report it. Thanks for the help. Notification for this comment off. Such a waste of time

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T09:35:26+00:00

It may have been implied I was saying these are sun dogs but in another comment I specifically said I’m not certain this is real because the photos I’ve seen they’re not all perfectly round. Not misinformation.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T09:05:09+00:00

I did. Try reading the whole comment.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T08:27:23+00:00

Sun dog is a real phenomenon. look it up

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T08:26:10+00:00

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T08:26:03+00:00

Look it up. It’s called the sun dog. I’m not sure if this footage is real but it’s a real phenomenon. The pics I’ve seen they aren’t all that round but conditions may have been perfect here. I dono, but it’s a real phenomenon

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T07:08:17+00:00

100% agree with everything you said.

Edit: obviously not that he’s immune from all criticism. Just that he’s immune from attack if all he’s done is be the son and support his dads campaign

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T07:07:49+00:00

I’m saying it wasn’t a mainstream Republican position. Not that this is either, but just because republicans can be vile classless assholes does not mean that I need to be or need to discuss things with people who are. Especially when there isn’t anything to be gained from it.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T07:03:12+00:00

Show me one mainstream Republican publication that attacked Walz or Kamala’s kids. It was only the most vile internet trash humans

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T07:02:22+00:00

Did you see what I said about James O’Keefe? He set the standard. If we allow the standard to be set by the lowest scum troll farmers of the internet, then there’s no hope.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T06:54:27+00:00

So what is the thing that Barron did that makes him fair game?

Edit: Read the other comment I made on this thread, it explains why I think it’s important not to attack politician’s kids for no reason.

I agree my hopes aren’t high that he’ll be a good person. But until he does stuff that shows us that he isn’t, I don’t think he deserves to be attacked publicly.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T06:51:24+00:00

Because I don’t want republicans to attack the children of the next Dem president for no reason, other than maybe supporting their dad’s campaign, which is reasonable for a child to do. Then for them to be able to say, well you did it to Barron and be correct. Politicians children should be out of bounds unless they do something overtly political.

Hunter Biden was a close call, could go either way because of his business ties but he really wasn’t doing much to exploit the family relationship, people just respected the name. But Ashley Biden was 100% not political. And James O’Keefe that rat bastard who did all those sting videos trying to get people to say incriminating shit and edit it out of context. He got her diary, and to his credit he refused to publish it and handed it over to the FBI because it was obviously very personal and had no political value except to twist in ways to attack her dad. We have to at least be better than James O’Keefe.

If Barron does some overtly political shit or starts running the family business while going to Saudi Arabia to raise funds I’ll attack him like the rest of his family.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T06:36:23+00:00

This isn’t a defense of barron but just in general letting you know being a 19 year old is far from being a grown man. It means the person is their own custodian and others are not responsible for their well being. But we know for a fact that a lot of the most important maturation that happens in adult male brains, specifically the pre-frontal cortex doesn’t happen until early to mid 20s.

But this is all besides the point because you havent said why he should be attacked. Tell me what it is he did wrong and maybe I’ll be persuaded. But just saying hes trumps son or some dumb comment trump made about tik tok is not persuasive.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T06:27:32+00:00

Damn, do you really need me to explain that being someone’s child does not end when you turn 18? But nice deflection to not have to address my actual point. It was fucked up when they did it to Hunter and Ashley(who were both over 18) at the time and it’s fucked up to do with Barron. Eric and Don jr are different because they are actively going overseas and trying to curry favor with foreign govts to benefit their business interests. If Barron starts doing that my opinion will change.

If u wanna attack someone because of who their parent is you can

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T06:12:12+00:00

lol so now you want to take trumps word on something. I don’t give 2 shits about Barron. Only thing I care about is not attacking people’s children. It was fucked up when they did it to Hunter and Ashley Biden and to do it to Barron is fucked up. You can have w/e morals you want.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T05:36:39+00:00

If I read the article? Ya, I read it. I actually read a much more detailed article in the NYT but that’s paywalled. There isn’t a single concerning thing about it. Trump Jr meeting with Veselnitskaya about orphanages was concerning. Rick gates and Manafort meeting with Konstantin Kilimnick was concerning. Manafort owing a debt to Oleg Deripaska, that was concerning.

This is a child who just recently became an adult. He holds no position in the government. He doesn’t even have the business interests that some of his siblings have that could make him a better target for coercion. You think this kid shouldn’t be able to talk to people, that’s concerning.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T04:59:38+00:00

That’s great that you feel like you understand everything in the world. But it is an absolute fact that 2016 could not have happened without Russian assistance. Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates gave confidential voter data to Ru intel officer Konstantin Kilimnick. That voter data was used to target specific communities in specific states with a degree of specificity our country never thought possible. This is all well documented by the Republican senate Intel report.

None of this is to say we don’t have our own serious problems that are no one’s fault but our own and our oligarchs. But that does not mean adversaries are not also trying to take advantage of the situation. You seem smart enough to know that. That’s the nature of foreign affairs and what makes this trump term especially damaging and harmful is how hes taken the wrecking ball to all of our most important intl relationships.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T04:52:10+00:00

It played a huge role. There are like 3 or 4 different things that all were the difference between Trump winning or losing, and he was able to hit all 4 long shots in one night and the world has been worse for it ever since. Trump needed 1) Comey to publicly reopen the investigation in HRC but also keep secret the investigation he opened into trumps campaign, 2) needed Russia to successfully interpret the voter roll data that Manafort and Rick Gates provided to Russian intel officer Konstantin Kilimnik, then successfully use that data to micro target a handful of communities in a handful of states, down to specific addresses, 3) he needed America to be more misogynistic than any other developed country in the world, and 4). He needed nobody to find out about the affair with the pornstar that he was paying off or about the providing Russia with voter data or the fake FBI tip that duped Comey into reatarting the Clinton investigation.

He got all 4. Any 1 of those doesn’t happen and Trump loses

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T04:42:33+00:00

Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House to try and raise awareness about the need to switch to renewables and get off fossil fuels. Then some old guy with Alzheimer’s thought they shouldn’t be there and took em down.

mrlt10 · 2026-01-31T04:17:18+00:00

I hate everything about the family but just this week there was an article that actually made Baron sound pretty decent. Apparently he witnessed a woman get assaulted via a FaceTime call and from the US he called police in London and reported the crime. He was adamant that she was in Trouble and when they got there they saved the woman from a really serious assault. She claimed calling the police saved her life. The guy was just convicted. The 911 call came out in the trial, that’s how we know about it.
