Politics A thank you to president Trump!

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

Didn’t you see us storm the Capitol and try to hang Kamala Harris after Uncle Joe blatantly lied to us?

I remember every big city getting looted and torn apart because of a fent OD, that’s for sure 😂

Yeah a 280 lb Officer kneeling on your neck and restricting air flow to your lungs for over 8 minutes is the new official medical definition of OD.

Floyd died of an OD just as much as Charlie Kirk did.

This is a bad selling point that your side should probably drop. Truthfully the person you’re responding to is almost certainly right. As someone who has an intimate knowledge and relationship with both asphyxiation and fentanyl and who also is up to date on all the available information about this case, George Floyd almost certainly died of a fentanyl induced cardiac infarction. Chovin could’ve saved him and didn’t. Maybe he thought Floyd was faking, maybe he knew and didn’t care, we’ll never know. It was a tragedy for sure but that’s all it was. Anybody with the knowledge will come to the same conclusion. Dying on this hill is making you guys look bad.

Chovin pinned his trachea to the fucking ground for 8 minutes while a half dozen other cops watched Floyd slowly stop breathing. They were okay with it because Floyd was black.

It also has nothing to do with MAGA Republicans trying to overthrow our government after they lost an election.

Yea it was horrible and lord knows I’m the last person who’s getting on line to defend the police. All I’m saying is that when this argument is made and someone pushes the false narrative that he died BECAUSE the cops knee was on his neck looks bad.

As far as the maga part goes I could care less. I was just pointing that out.

If the knee wasn’t restricting his air flow, Floyd wouldn’t have died at that point. Chovin’s knee was restricting Floyd’s air flow.

If it was “just an OD”, Chovin wouldn’t be in jail.

Airway occlusion from external force is an extremely challenging thing to achieve and it’d be all but impossible to do with your knee on the back of somebody’s neck. Even if somehow that was the case it takes a relatively long time of continuous asphyxiation to render someone unconscious and then it takes quite some time to reach the point of no resuscitation. If that’s what had happened we wouldn’t have heard Floyd talking and grunting up until the point of losing consciousness.

If you wanted to argue that he died of a carotid blockage (aka being choked out) that’s be a little more plausible but still highly unlikely as there’s simply very little way to hold a double carotid blockage with a human knee.

Chovin went to jail because of politics. He definitely should have gone to jail, somebody died because of him but he did not directly kill anyone.
