Trump MAGAThread XII: A Tarriff-ic Thread!

[Bruke]

Crack down on companies that try and mislead consumers (with jail time and fines for guilty executives), provide incentives for companies to produce healthier foods, and try some public awareness campaigns also.

If the company heads are knowingly selling food that's killing people, put them in jail for life, and punish them with massive fines, with the proceeds going to the people victimized by these companies.

Have you considered social Darwinism?

I reject Darwinism of any kind, so no. No I have not. Especially social Darwinism, considering how it was used historically.

[Internationalist Bastard]

Id argue for raising the drinking and smoking age to 25, when people's brains are fully developed, but that's neither here nor there.

But back on topic, you know who else must be drinking and smoking right now? Trump, cause he just got himself a new lawyer. Apparently it's the same guy handled Clinton's impeachment.

He has a Republican Congress which should be loyal to him, and he's worried about impeachment. What do you all think of this? I think it's a sign he's preparing to fire the deputy AG or the special counsel.

He so wants to fire Mueller.. but even he's not dumb enough to think he can right now. There was a podcast exploring Watergate from the time, small stories around the events that we've forgotten given the main narrative. Yet it was also a very slow burning issue that only got really hot to the end. Same attacks on the media and denials and etc.,

Nixon's end was firing the AG, Trump's would be firing Mueller.

In fact Art Buchwald wrote a list of common defences for Nixon back in 1973.. change Chappaquidick for 'Crooked Hillary'.. and..

1. Everyone does it.
2. What about Chappaquiddick?
3. A President can’t keep track of EVERYTHING his staff does.
4. The press is blowing the whole thing up.
5. Whatever Nixon did was for national security.
6. The Democrats are sore because they lost the election.
7. Are you going to believe a rat like John Dean or the President of the United States?
8. Wait till ALL the facts come out.
9. What about Chappaquiddick?
10. If you impeach Nixon, you get Agnew.
11. The only thing wrong with Watergate is they got caught.
12. What about Daniel Ellsberg stealing the Pentagon Papers?
13. It happens in Europe all the time.
14. People would be against Nixon no matter what he did.
15. I’d rather have a crook in the White House than a fool.
16. L.B.J. used to read FBI files late at night.
17. What’s the big deal about finding out what your opposition is up to?
18. The President was too busy running for office to know what was going on.
19. What about Chappaquiddick?
20. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
21. McGovern would have lost anyway.
22. Maybe the Committee for Re-Election of the President went a little too far, but they were just a bunch of eager kids.
23. I’m not for breaking the law, but sometimes you have to do it to save the country.
24. Nixon made a mistake. He’s only human.
25. Do you realize what Watergate is doing to the dollar abroad?
26. What about Harry Truman and the deep freeze scandal?
27. Franklin D. Roosevelt did a lot worse things.
28. I’m sick and tired of hearing about Watergate and so is everybody else.
29. This whole thing should be tried in the courts and not on television.
30. When Nixon gives his explanation of what happened there are going to be a lot of people in this country with egg on their faces.
31. My country right or wrong.
32. What about Chappaquiddick?
33. I think the people who make all this fuss about Watergate should be shot.
34. If the Democrats had the money, they would have done the same thing.
35. I never trusted Halderman and Ehrlichman to begin with.
36. If you say one more word about Watergate I’ll punch you in the nose.
Or, A – If the person is bigger than you: “If you say one more word about Watergate I’m leaving this house.”
Or, B – If it’s your own house and the person is bigger than you: “What about Chappaquiddick?”

How bout Rosenstien though, what if Trump fires him? Then he could get a guy who would be more loyal in there. He couldn't have the guy fire Mueller, a la Nixon, but couldn't the new person there do everything in their power to slow down the investigation?

[Meme War]

Wow, that was cruel. You might be wondering I'm new to the thread.

[Ifreann]

Generally one needs a license to sell booze.

No it isn't.

You’re right
But I can still buy it in a lot of places without any hassle

From people with licenses, no doubt.

Ah, but Trump neither drinks nor smokes.

Everyone else has been expecting impeachment for a while now. If Trump is starting to expect it, it can't be far off.

[Geneviev]

Large-scale drug trafficking is already a capital crime under Federal law, so Trump's not proposing new legislation. Of course, I don't know what the current law looks like, how they define "large-scale," I mean. I would expect that a "drug lord" has to be someone who controls a fairly large network of dealers and distribution.

It’s the death penalty part I have a problem with

Drug offenses are simply non-violent. The death penalty should only apply to violent crime, if at all.

[Corrian]

So basically we should execute more people because morals? Am I reading this right?

No, I am against the death penalty because I think it is better to give the condemned time to repent. Selling serious offenders into slavery would be preferable to either life in prison or death. But rejecting the death penalty because the state "doesn't have the right" is extremely questionable, because it suggest either that "no one deserves to die", or that the state is not competent to determine punishment. The first is plainly absurd, and the second undercuts the entire legitimacy of the justice system.

The justice system undermines itself just fine on its own.

is there a 2020 megathread yet?

It would be too big.

Bernie Sanders for President, Vermin Supreme for Treasury Secretary.
Jeremy Corbyn for PM, Lord Buckethead for Foreign Secretary.
Jeb! for Supreme Overlord of the Guaca-Anglosphere.

Corbyn isn't even taken seriously within his own party.

Good fucking grief.

Good fucking grief.

He twice won the leadership with the largest percentage of votes, and Labour won a bunch of seats with him. Blairites can suck it.

All I know is Lord Buckethead is the one we can trust.

I'll raise ya.

How to get hired by Trump: Forward a wackado theory that makes him look like a victim.

This whole thing is going to get ten times more exasperating if they amp up the deep state conspiracy theory bullshit.

[New Emeline]

At the rate they’re firing people, I might get a job at the White House...
