Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Disgruntledgoat]

My god, the video of him in a mask factory where he doesn't wear a mask, a worker tries his best not to speak to him and they don't turn down the Guns N Roses version of Live & Let Die even a little bit is outstanding. Is there a single adult in his entourage who can maybe advise him how that's gonna come across on TV?

‘Live and Let Die’ blares as Donald Trump tours mask factory, without mask

President Trump visited Honeywell’s mask-making factory Tuesday, but the choice of music raised some eyebrows. A clip posted to YouTube by the PBS NewsHour shows Mr. Trump walking through the Arizona facility without a mask to the song “Live and Let Die.”

The US has one of the largest, best equipped militaries on earth. If your government is determined to overstep, a bunch of lids playing army wont stop them.

Has this power been of any use to anybody since the revolutionary war?

Red Dawn?

Red Dawn?

The original though, not the remake.

Always makes me laugh this.
The same OTT patriots that fetishise the US armed forces are also the same ones who think they also need to protect themselves from it.

Just imagining that gang of flaccid fat neck-beards with their Walmart surplus rifles trying to take on the most well funded, technologically advanced military the world has ever seen.

Utter balloons.

The virus was obviously not man-made, but I understand why Trump is saying it may have been. It keeps the focus of blame on China - and I'm fine with that.

Normally, I'd agree with you, but there is definitely a segment in our current military that at minimum sympathize with the folks protesting.

Fantastic. In turn, I'm 100% in support of any disinformation campaign Boris Johnson and his allies put over on the British public.

You also aren’t having to suffer any of the downsides

You'd expect that as the armed forces are drawn from the society.

"I'm fine being lied to"

Sigh.

But not evenly or randomly. Increasingly the US military consists of persons from "military families" who've served over generations. It furthers the creation of a de facto military identity/ideology that isn't typical of the culture as a whole and increasingly results in the military becoming perceived (at least by its members) as a distinct social demographic with its own interests.

This is not a happy development.

I disagree a bit - we shouldn’t let Trump and his ilk be the exclusive purveyors of the China issues (especially as they go far beyond this disease) but no one should fool themselves into thinking he had anything more than self-interest here.

Sigh.

For the greater good in this case.

I identify the lie; I see the point behind it, and it's a worthwhile one.

Shame that - maybe blame China for it happening.

Bit like when Johnson was lying to everyone about Brexit..........
