• Only stupid MAGAs think that one person runs the government

    From Björn Felten@2:203/2 to All on Wed Jul 3 13:51:10 2024
    What amazes the rest of the world is how the new generations in the US are so obsessed with one single person leading the country. Usually referred to as a dictator.

    Like every other state leader, the POTUS depends entirely on all the staff he chooses. No one person can handle everything. Unless you are a self-proclaimed Stable Genius, of course

    One single president in US history surrounded himself with totally incompetent people and those who dared question The Leader's Wisdom were immediately sacked. Many of them are now spending time in the Big House rather than in the White House.

    Out of some 60 former people in the Trump administration asked if they would serve a new term, 100% answered, "Fuck No".

    As for the debate, did any of you MAGA Cult Members hear Trump answer a single question? Do you now know what he will do to solve all the problems you claim Biden has caused?

    Mike Pompeo sparked fury from supporters of former President Donald Trump's Make America Great (MAGA) movement on Sunday, after he said he is open to joining a new Trump administration if asked.

    Nikki Hayley is being offered a position as well... as per Trump.

    Kash Patel too

    Matthew Whitaker, was his Acting AG at one time

    Michael Flynn

    The list goes on and on...

    Politicians are whores... And jump on whatever flavor of the week is happening.

    Trump will be more selective, his words, he said he knows the swamp now.

    The problem with making stupid claims like 100% of his his old administration does not want to work with him... Untrue, I don't know if you know about Google... but less than 3 seconds and I came up with a short list and there is more.

    There is not pill to help you with your TDS, but I would encourage you to seek professional help anyway.

    I've seen interviews with maga folk who openly say they welcome Trump being a dictator/king. They also were praising Putin. These people are deluded as they never had to live under actual oppression and have no idea what it's like.
    Also they figure "he hates the same people we hate, so we'll be fine!". They never think that it could turn against them.

    Doesn't it seem like those 2 scenarios were being discussed for propaganda purposes?

    There's no indication that Trump intends to become a dictator or that he intends to run for any office after this year is over. But the speculation of it is enough to make a few imaginative people get outraged.

    Same thing with saying that people are "praising Putin." You seen it in a video or something, but have you ever seen people praising Putin in real life?

    That's a good point but just consider the fact that the media is on a collective mission to encourage people to vote Democrat so that Democrats can enable their foreign donors to play God inside our country.

    I get it that certain stuff gets taught by the TV and we're all guilty of it to some extent, but try not to let the media outweigh your real life experiences. They are big, big liars.

    Hello Everybody,

    The entity known as Björn Felten entertained this idea -

    What amazes the rest of the world is how the new generations in the US are so obsessed with one single person leading the country. Usually referred to
    as a dictator.

    Italy had Il Duce.
    Cuba had El Comandante.
    Germany had Der Fuhrer.
    The USA had Charlie Chaplin.

    Like every other state leader, the POTUS depends entirely on all the staff he chooses. No one person can handle everything. Unless you are a self-proclaimed Stable Genius, of course

    I have never heard Joe Biden proclaim himself to be a Stable Genius
    of any kind. But maybe I missed something during that last debate he
    had with a convicted felon.

    One single president in US history surrounded himself with totally incompetent people and those who dared question The Leader's Wisdom were immediately sacked. Many of them are now spending time in the Big House rather than in the White House.

    We the people have learned our lesson. Now we are ready to return
    the convicted felon to his rightful place, where he belongs. Right
    where we can keep an eye on him. At all times.

    Out of some 60 former people in the Trump administration asked if they would
    serve a new term, 100% answered, "Fuck No".

    Except for Steve Bannon, as he is currently behind bars. But no
    worries, as he is set for release before Inauguration Day.

    As for the debate, did any of you MAGA Cult Members hear Trump answer a single question?

    Yes. The very last question. He told the moderators he would not
    respect the will (vote) of the people. Unless the vote was for him.

    Do you now know what he will do to solve all the problems you claim Biden has caused?

    Fix them.
    All of them.
    On Day One.
    The Day he becomes Dictator Trump.
    He did say he only needed one day.

    Any more questions?

    For Life,
    Lee

    Hello Björn,

    [..]

    As for the debate, did any of you MAGA Cult Members hear Trump answer a single question?

    The only real question on stage was the mental capacity of the
    sitting president. After the debate, everybody had their answer.

    Do you now know what he will do to solve all the problems you claim Biden has caused?

    Yes. The US Supreme Court ruled that in his official capacity
    the POTUS can assassinate you. So. There you go. Problem solved.

    Next question?

    What a typical MAGA projection.

    The Constitution clearly says that the only income a president shall have during his/her four years is what the taxpayers pay him. There is not a single exception (unless the money comes from a foreign entity, when every single dollar must be approved by Congress).

    Before the 45th, every single POTUS abided by that. For instance, when Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he accepted the nomination but refused the mega Euro money. Carter, before him, moved his entire peanut company into a trust fund. And so on.

    In comes the most extraordinary US con man in history. He claims that if he does not accept his salary, as stipulated by the Constitution, he can accept whatever he wants.

    In 2016, his "empire" consisted of some 500 companies, maany of them abroad, with China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia at the top of the list. What a list of countries to take bribes from. Yeah, that's the guy we want to run this country!

    Of course, he did not put any of those foreign hotels, golf courses, or similar assets into a trust fund. On the contrary, he expanded them all.

    I'm not surprised if you haven't heard about how even his own Secret Service had to pay rent for all the places they had to stay. It's all Fake News because your Supreme Leader said so, not to mention the marked-up prices that foreign delegations had to pay when they "visited" the US. Often not even staying there, just for the reservation.

    Presidents don't sell all their assets when they run for office... Though Trump may have been the wealthiest one who ran and secured the position... there were others who were wealthy.

    George Washington was the second wealthiest... He didn't sell every thing... All presidents move their assent into a blind trust... Someone manages their investments and that someone is not influenced by the President.

    Trump turned over the day to day operations on the Trump enterprise to Don Jr. and it was a policy that if there was a transaction at one of the hotels that even had the hint of am issue... Head of Sate rented a room... profits were given to the IRS... even the hint...

    Trump was the first President in American history whose net worth declined during his presidency.

    Whereas Clinton, Obama and Biden became millionaires...

    One of the reason the elites hate Trump is because they can't bribe him like they could with others in the past!!!

    https://youtu.be/tzJ0u6SuLPI?si=p3jud10E597YsgT_

    A video showing presidents net worth... several presidents were wealthy, none sold their assets when they became president...

    They say Biden's net worth is ~ $9,000,000.00 He did this one government pay... and 10% of what his son was raking in...

    It says Barry's net worth is ~ $40,000,000.00 He was a community organizer before he became president...

    It says that Bill Clinton's net worth is ~ $75,000,000.00. Hillary said when Bill left office they were broke... They started the Clinton Foundation where 100s of millions of dollars were funneled and they had a 90% management expense associated with that... The Clintons got all that and Bill got some Hawk Tuwa to boot...

    Trump's net worth fell...

    The democratic party like you also has hatred for America but they also have a thirst to remain in power, so they can continue to destroy America while claiming that they are saving it.

    In Fact you have had many years of contempt for anything American.

    Ah, yes, that trusted old meme. Its origin (orange by the Stable Genius, who cannot read from a teleprompter) is from the Dubya Big Lie about the WoMD in Iraq, which most of the Free World knew was a lie.

    So, a lot of us outside the US objected here on Fidonet. By then, the "if you're not with us, you're against us" was in full charge. We were The Old World, French Fries was renamed Freedom Fries, and so on. And I was one of those "Euro Trash Pascifist Shit Pig Pussies" that had the audacity to question the wisdom of a corrupt POTUS and his advisers.

    Criticism is equal to hatred in the New GOP Dictionary.

    BTW, how can you hate America, and what America is that? Is it the entire America, or is it just the Union? And if it's the Union, where does South and North America fit in that union? Whatever part it may be, hating a piece of Mother Erth must be the worst waste of energy you can make.

    I am not going to play those games with you with getting into a pissing contest.

    What matters most and more then your points are the following.
    The bottom line is that you have made Anti-American and Anti-Semitic comments that many have seen. No one takes you with the slightest bit of seriousness or concern.

    Do you think your bastardized version of our American Government concerns people like or the many millions who are like me? How about NO!

    You can not possibly understand the Conservative movement, nor can you explain why there are supporters of such a movement.

    For an Introduction or an attempt to have a far superior understanding.

    Take a look at Biden - what has he done that has been remotely positive?
    All left winged media have previously told Americans and the World that Joe is brilliant and he is as sharp as a tac. That he was hard to keep with.

    No, these videos shown at the G7 were not cheap-fakes of Biden, it was real and now we ALL know about Joe. He is not as smart as tac, he is not at all brilliant. Even a large and (growing ever larger) variety of Democrats are calling him to leave.

    It is time for Joe to Go!

    What has Joe Biden Done?
    He allowed a Chinese spy balloon to traverse all across the United States before shooting down off the coast of South Carolina.
    Do you think that such an action is a sign of strength or weakness?

    The exit from Afghanistan was done very badly - under Biden.

    Maybe you don't know what Trump did. Biden would never dream of it.
    This might explain the difference between Biden and Trump

    You are not right ... Presidents move their assets into a blind trust. Looking this up the other day... because of here... I found out that Jimmy Carter lost money during his presidency... I thought Trump was the only one.

    Jimmy put over $2,000,000.00 into the trust and received only $1,000,000.00 back. The trustee lost over $1,000,000.00 on him. Apparently the trustee was as bad a Carter was for president.

    Don Jr. took over the daily operation of the Trump business. Any business that could be attributed to Trump being in office, the profits, were given to the IRS.

    Moreover, Trump donated his Presidential earning to some kind of charity... He never took a paycheck.

    FOCUS!!!

    Obviously, I know much more than you. Maybe you could prove me wrong
    by at least telling us where in the Constitution I found those facts and why I am wrong. Yeah... I know. You have never read the USC, and in the parts that you eventually have read, you don't understand a single word. Am I right, or am I right?


    The rule is this....

    The Constitution requires a president to take a salary. The Founding Fathers wanted to protect even wealthy presidents from misfortune that could tempt them to take bribes. The salary rule may also have been designed to ensure a lack of personal wealth would not prohibit a president-elect from taking office.

    Salaries have understandably varied considerably over time, and four presidents declined to personally accept the money. Additionally, there are several benefits a president has even after they leave office.

    Trump gave up all but $1 of his presidential pay because the law says he had to take a pay check.

    They were concerned about the President going all Joe Biden on them and that he'd sell out the country to the Highest bidder.

    Presidents who chose not to take a pay check... they donated it...

    Donald J. Trump donated his $400,000 annual salary to various federal departments from 2017 through 2020.9 Trump's net worth is about $7 billion, making him the richest president in history.10

    John F. Kennedy donated his $100,000 salary to charity. He was the
    beneficiary of a multimillion-dollar trust fund. He also donated his salary while serving 14 years in Congress.11

    Herbert Hoover divided his salary between various charities. He gave some of
    it to his staff. Hoover's net worth was around $4 million in 1913.12

    George Washington initially wanted to forgo his $25,000 salary.13

    None of these wealthy Presidents had to sell their businesses, in George's case, he even got to keep his slaves.

    75% of the presidents so far have been wealthy... some wealthy wealthy...

    They were focused on BRIBES...

    And there's a huge difference between active and passive income...

    OMG.... 202-514-2000 here's the phone number to the DOJ in DC... could you imagine that the full force of the government and people suffering for TDS overlooked this.

    MAN...

    Pissing contest? Is that what you call it when you refuse to answer my simple question:

    Of course, you cannot answer it, so you do what ignoramuses always do: resort to diversion.

    I bet you could not even pass the citizen test that all of those despicable immigrants have to pass to be granted citizenship with all its benefits (including voting rights).

    Hello Gregory,

    [..]

    The Constitution clearly says that the only income a president shall
    have during his/her four years is what the taxpayers pay him. There is
    not a single exception (unless the money comes from a foreign entity,
    when every single dollar must be approved by Congress).

    What do you know of the U.S. Constitution? Not enough.

    Have you ever read it? What about the justices of the US Supreme
    Court? It appears the majority of them have no earthly clue as to
    what it is all about. But since you are the expert, do tell.

    In Fact you have had many years of contempt for anything American.

    Bjòrn has said many times, in public, that he loves KFC. As you know,
    Colonel Sanders was his hero. Always dressed in white, never orange.

    The democratic party like you also has hatred for America but they also have
    a thirst to remain in power, so they can continue to destroy America while claiming that they are saving it.

    "America! Respect it, for Chrissake!" ~Chuck Norris

    What a turd. Just like his orange hero. Thank you, Stephen King,
    for pointing that out to us all.

    Everything that they have done or left un-done - prove this to be the case.

    Stephen King already did, quoting Chuck Norris.

    Their time and yours is just about at it's end.

    Biden time is just getting started. We have only seen a preview
    of what is to come, given his last debate performance. So be amazed.

    There is nothing with Aarons statement, in-fact I agree with it.

    Seems that Aaron made the same mistake as the majority of
    US Supreme Court justices, forgetting the first three words
    of the US Constitution.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Hello Björn,

    Obviously, I know much more than you.

    Trump is a stable genius. Can you say the same about yourself?

    I am not going to play those games with you with getting into a pissing
    contest.

    Pissing contest?

    What would you rather call it? It is a contest between two guys,
    so the rules for both are the same. Each guy takes out his own
    wanker, and lets his stuff fly as far as he can make it go. His
    assistant then measures the distance, and declares the maker as
    the winner.

    Is that what you call it when you refuse to answer my simple question:

    You forget, he does not have a pot to piss in. And thus is DQ'd.

    Maybe you could prove me wrong by at least telling us where in the Constitution I found those facts and why I am wrong.

    I know! I know! (raising hand)

    Of course, you cannot answer it, so you do what ignoramuses always do: resort to diversion.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    Joe Biden has always been Joe Biden.
    The same Joe Biden that beat the pants off their orange god in 2020.
    The same Joe Biden that will be the pants off their orange god in 2024.
    So what else can they do but resort to diversion?

    I bet you could not even pass the citizen test that all of those despicable
    immigrants have to pass to be granted citizenship with all its benefits (including voting rights).

    Good God! Please do not wish that upon MAGA infidels!
    I have friends, from Iran, who passed that test.
    On their first try. And are still here as a result.

    The same can be said about my other friends.
    From Egypt, Mexico, the Philippines, Japan, France,
    or god knows where. All of them free to leave, but
    love it so much here they choose to stay.

    The rules are simple. They have two chancces to pass.
    If they do not make it the first time, there is no
    penalty. If they do not make it the second time,
    they are done. Like toast. With or without butter.

    And then came Biden.
    He made the test much harder.
    Everything was in English.
    And no cheating allowed.

    That is why Trump wants to make America great again.
    By going back to the old rules.
    That Reagan loved so much.
    Worked so well he gave everybody amnesty.

    That way we could start all over again.

    What a guy.

    For Life,
    Lee
