I meant to say just agree to disagree and stay friends. “Part as friends” means we’re never talking again. Definitely not what I meant! Sorry about that! I never disputed there were people on the left engaging in it. If there were only two people in the entire social mediasphere engaging in it, “people on the left are engaging in it” would still be technically true, so i could never argue that literally nobody is engaging in it. Scale and equivalence was all I was debating. The thing I believe we are agree to disagree on is whether it’s a real, major problem. I say the scale is so small, and their influence on the Democratic Party so absent, it’s only a minor problem at best, and then only on the fringes. I know/knew what you meant. The actual MAGA leaders are all pathological liars or wacko conspiracy weirdos who lie constantly. Anytime CNN starts a sentence "Trump says. ." Its more often than not followed by more of his lies. Nobody on the right in such high positions lie as much or as bad as MAGA. My only point is there are many more people on the left spreading misinformation thats being retweeted and shared among many people on MY side and I dont like it. Whether they have 5 followers or 1.5 million followers. Wasn't it Hillary who said her party would take the high road and then called the Right deplorable? Yeah, look where it got her...but, IMO, she was right. Call them out for their lies but don't lower standards. Quote
chasfh Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago (edited) By the way, Happy Friday, everyone! We are entering that weekly dangerous 12-or-so-hour period during which Trump times his very worst stuff to shield the markets from the immediate effect. So what fresh hell will we be seeing by tomorrow morning? Edited 22 hours ago by chasfh 2 Quote

But they need to put serious laws on the books with some teeth to it. The passing and enforcement of laws will have an impact. Investigations I believe, will end up with nothing. Like the Trump Impeachments (PLURAL!!!) And no law to these effects will be signed until February, 2029. See you then... If we still live in a democracy. Quote
romad1 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Ungaro Read up... Quote Amanda Ungaro From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amanda Ungaro was the partner of Donald Trump confidante Paolo Zampolli.[1] They separated in 2023.[2] Born in Londrina, Brazil, she is a Brazilian citizen.[1] She is currently 41 years old.[3][when?] Early life As a 17 year old teenage model, she had been flown to New York City on a plane owned by Jeffrey Epstein (whom she never met again).[4] Her agent at the time, with whom she had boarded, was Jean-Luc Brunel.[citation needed] Career In June 2014, Keith Mitchell, Prime Minister of Grenada, appointed Ungaro as United Nations Ambassador in charge of Post-15th Agendas and responsible of the second committee with United Nations Ambassador Ranking.[5][6] Ungaro has worked under the 69th United Nations Vice President of the UN General Assembly for the Blue Economy.[7] After separating from Zampolli she married a doctor from Brazil.[8] In 2025, she was arrested in Miami, Florida for running an unlicensed cosmetic surgery clinic specializing in Botox. Later placed in ICE custody (at Paolo Zampolli's behest)[8] for three months, she requested of an immigration judge to be deported to back to Brazil, where she had had previous residency.[2] The custody battle over the one offspring of her and her ex-partner (a son) is on-going.[1] On 7 April 2026, a series of tweets emerged threatening legal action, etc.. which had been sent in her name to Melania Trump in the first term of the Trump presidency.[9][bare URL] The First Lady held a surprise press announcement the next day denying any ties with Epstein.[3] Quote

CMRivdogs Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago So if by chance Orban does lose will the Orange Mussolini send troops to support him. If he does JS and High Commander Pete should be sent to the front lines as well. Quote
chasfh Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago There’s no way Orban would willingly just leave office and Trump just stands by and watches it happen, is there? Something is going to happen, and the US is going to be involved. Quote

Wait, it probably did. What happened was it didn't result in any news organizations willing to put that dot connection out in a form the general public could understand. Quote

Yup. We just dont know if Trump dictates what to write or approves of whatever has been written but I just dont think he would allow somebody to write something and post it without his approval. But I dont see him typing those words out, just too concise. Quote

I think that he selected a person who is loyal to him and can write controversial stuff that sounds like it could be him. Regardless of whether or not it's actually him though, he has to own whatever is said in those posts. Quote

Beyond that, it doesn’t matter whether Trump types out the words himself, whether he dictates it to somebody, or whether somebody posts it on his behalf without his even knowing it. As long as it comes out under his name, they are his words and his ideas. He is responsible for the post. He owns it, lock stock. I will say this, though: if anyone can get away with the idea that someone who works for him did a rogue post and the named person on the account didn’t know about it and shouldn’t be held responsible for it, it’s Trump.

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that he would allow anyone to post something under his name without his approval first. He just seems too much like a control freak to allow that. But...who knows? Quote
