MAGAThread XIX: Hambergers, Noble Prizes, & Disinfectant

So what can we expect Trump to say or do to distract from the attention on this?

I don’t know if that means, “saying something outrageous to the media” or “starting a war” but it’s likely to come.

He'll probably say something super offensive like "The police in Selma, Alabama were tough. The police today in Portland are not. In Selma they beat the hell out of the protesters. They rolled over like a dog for them in Portland."

"like a dog" is great. I really hope he says this!

He already has a few times. He said "Al Baghdadi died like a dog crying and whimpering."

Idk how cause he blew up. But Trump doesn't let reality ruin his stories.

Trump wants personal credit for everything NASA has accomplished in the last four years, even if it was a project started before he came in, and thinks that if he leaves office the agency will die.

Spacex is better than NASA

Why did you choose to be wrong?

Space X is NASA 45 years ago with touch screens.

I'm not sure how successful they'll be at dissolving the organization. Yes, the leaders of the NRA will likelybe required to pay back the money they took and possibly serve jail time, but I'm unsure if the AG will succeed in getting them dissolve, especially when she called the NRA a "terrorist organization" back in April of 2019. Now if this was in California, then the NRA would be royally fucked.

But this doesn't bold well for Republicans and Trump, especially for the latter who isn't receiving much help from the movement to begin with; they laid off staff and I think aren't investing in the 2020 Election Cycle: I haven't seen an NRA ad in months.

Why are they trying, and why would that be a good thing?

Calling them a "terrorist organization" is an amazing meme, shame people actually believe that tripe.

It honestly is surprising. Now, I would like to see these leaders return the money to the NRA and for the organization to get heavily reformed so shit like that doesn't happen again. But I think abolishing the NRA is a little much unless the fraud is widespread. Then again, they brought this onto themselves so perhaps this will hopefully be lesson learnt.

[Vassenor]

Honestly, given the amount of toxic crap the NRA has done I'm surprised the gun rights crowd hasn't left them in the dirt to form something new.

Yes; the solution is not to dissolve it (or anything stupid like that), but to push for it to reform.

They've not been "left in the dirt", but their questionable past and other suspect actions have caused the creation of other groups, with varying degrees of influence.

Though their track record, spotty as it may be, seems to be cleaner than some other self-proclaimed "civil rights" groups, which I guess partially explains why it sticks around...

Actively threatening the free press is cleaner than some? Huh.

"Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True. Florida's Voting system has been cleaned up (we defeated Democrats attempts at change), so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail! #MAGA"

"Nevada has ZERO infrastructure for Mail-In Voting. It will be a corrupt disaster if not ended by the Courts. It will take months, or years, to figure out. Florida has built a great infrastructure, over years, with two great Republican Governors. Florida, send in your Ballots!"

"States that elect me = Safe, Secure, Tried and True, CLEANED UP, vote by mail!"

"States that don't elect me = ZERO infrastructure, CORRUPT, DISASTER, the COURTS NEED TO SUSPEND MAIL-IN VOTING!!!"

"Today I have signed an EXECUTIVE ORDER, as the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, to SUSPEND all MAIL-IN VOTES in DEMOCRAT OCCUPIED states. There will be NO CORRUPTION! We will have FREE and FAIR elections! #MAGA"

On what grounds exactly? Snuffing out interest/lobbying groups seems pretty draconian and oppressive.

Probably, though I'd consider the circumstances a bit different. I don't see reform as really possible for the WHO, given the current circumstances that are out of any realistic control.

But they're socialist and because millions of Americans are stuck in a timewarp in 1984, that makes them the devil's own in their eyes.
