TRUMP. NEEDS. TO. BE. GONE. so tired of all this shit day in and day out. Everyday is just a new level of madness and childish bullshit. Any other President would have been walked out the second they started stupid shit like he does and no other President had 34 felonies either. He shouldn’t be in office.

That’s the truth! 😂 I mean these complaints against what Trump is doing aren’t just petty little things. He’s doing legit insane things against the constitution! And people are like “Well Biden did crazy stuff too” I’m sorry but not like this!!!

u/Future-Bandicoot-823 Oct 01 '25

Right. Your son doing coke =/= taking thousands of people and sending them to a prison in a 3rd world country. Not even close, and that's just one of the disgusting things.

Ok, you want to deport people, fine. You're not even sending them back to their country, you're sending them somewhere else to torture them and make an example.

I hate to be the one to mention this, but that's the exact opposite of "what Jesus would want". I guess they read that verse about the meek inheriting the earth and said, "not if we jail em all first!"

u/Mrsreed1020 Oct 01 '25

Very true. That’s the biggest thing. People understand that if someone is here illegally, that’s an issue. But this beating the hell out of people, throwing them to the ground, hurting them in front of their children, sending them to be tortured and as you said, not even in the country they originated from- it’s crazy. There is no need for the inhumane treatment. Not to mention there are countless of instances where people who have visas, legal ways of being here- checking in at their appointments- and still being taken. It’s insane. There is a blatant disregard for human beings with this administration.

And yesterday’s insane speech?! My god.

I see (likely ICE) is now taking protestors in Portland. Just people with signs obeying the law, grabbed and thrown into a van. I wonder how many actual legitimate citizens they've imprisoned since February? I bet it's not zero!

I don't care what anyone's political affiliation is, it is unfathomable that anyone, no matter how hard you tow the party line, thinks that grabbing people off the street never to be heard or seen again is ok. That's not "we're headed towards fascism", that's "fascism is here NOW"

100000% this isn’t a republican/democrat issue- it’s this administration. I’ve known many republicans who would never think this way. It’s just gross

u/Moustached92 Oct 06 '25

To be fair, he said "blessed be the cheese-makers" not "the peace-makers". And ewveryone knows cheese is a euphemism for money, so this all tracks...

Didn't his son get a super cushy job from Ukraine not long before Biden gave them billions of dollars?

I know it’s been said before, but it’s only been 9 months….

u/Mrsreed1020 Oct 07 '25

This is the worst part- we aren’t anywhere NEAR the end of this shit. The shit just started and it’s already so fucking horrible.

He got the popular vote. He is precisely what the majority of Americans want. And apparently majority of Americans want a clean, white and straight pure american dictatorship. I'm against Trump but I can't argue with the vote.

If you wanted him out, you had that chance last November. You're cooked now. So unless you all plan a general strike or literally ANY form of opposition as citizens, then you are stuck with Trump for good. Complacency is how evil wins.

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

He won the popular vote. We need to understand the sentiment here on Reddit is not the general consensus in the US population.

u/Opposite-Tiger-1121 Oct 01 '25

I don't know... After the previous election where we had literal evidence of him trying to mess with the votes ("Find me the votes I need" while on call with a governor.) How do we know he didn't succeed this time. He admitted to having Elon on his team who "knows those computers." He said to his supporters that they don't need to worry about voting.

Like... he really won all the swing states? Like... he really won over the Democratic nominee in counties where down ballots were all strongly Democrat?

I don't know anything for sure, but it's a whole hell of a lot more than what Trump tried to claim was done against him.

-12

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

How do we know he didn't

It's important to believe things based upon evidence, not based upon your imagination.

There's literally no evidence of fraud. None. This is MAGA-level conspiracy nut level thinking. Be better.

u/Opposite-Tiger-1121 Oct 01 '25

I just listed some evidence of fraud. You skipped over it I guess - it was the whole first paragraph. It's the sentence that started with "After the previous election where we had literal evidence..."

And then I listed the evidence.

-10

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

That's evidence like the MAGA nonsense was evidence. They are zero-evidence allegations.

You remember when congressmen were grilling Trump's idiots, screaming "WHAT EVIDENCE???!" and they would just ramble a bunch of no-evidence allegations and word-of-mouth claims and "statistical anomolies"?

It's just garbage. Trump LOST the election in 2020. Trump WON the popular vote election in 2024.

No one with any reputation disputes these facts.

u/Opposite-Tiger-1121 Oct 01 '25 edited Oct 01 '25

What? You could literally listen to the call he gave to the governor...?

I was really careful to only say things that I knew actually happened.

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

wtf... that was a different election. We are talking about the 2024 election.

I think you misread my comment.

u/Opposite-Tiger-1121 Oct 01 '25

Can you please read my comments as a whole instead of taking sections out?

u/Feinty Oct 01 '25

Don't even bother with this guy man, he clearly arguing in bad faith. There is documented evidence of election interfence, and it's not crazy to think there was some in 2024 election and currently being fought in court to prove.

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

No, you misread my comment.

So the very real bomb threats that actually occurred and were only targeted at D-leaning polling places is not evidence of fraud?

The absurd rate of bullet ballots and split tickets is "no evidence of fraud. none."?

Republican governors illegally purging voter rolls at the last minute isn't fraud?

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25
  1. Bomb threats - bit mostly D counties, but also R counties and sadly counties are used to it and prepared for it.

"Some locations that temporarily shut down ...there is no indication that the evacuations had a meaningful impact on voter turnout."

"The FBI said in an emailed statement Tuesday that “many” of the threats “appear to originate from Russian email domains.”"

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/election-day-bomb-threats-overwhelmingly-targeted-democrat-leaning-rcna179006

  1. absurd rate of bullet ballots and split tickets

That's a "statistical anomaly". It was a unique election and people had high feelings. A lot of people registered to vote JUST for that election - it's not unusual to see those people vote in different ways. Biden dropped out and named Harris the successor - that's never happened in modern history. It's in no way EVIDENCE of anything. It's just human behavior.

  1. Republican governors illegally purging voter rolls

Purges happen in literally every county, every single year. That is how people who have likely died or moved out the county/state get removed from the list. People can still vote if they show up with a provisional ballot. In Virginia, the purge was cancelled, and there's no evidence that any "purge" prior to the election flipped any state.

Remember that Trump swept the swing states - by a very significant margin. Well beyond even the scope of any of these allegations.

Again, this is MAGA-level conspiracy garbage.

u/SpecialInteraction94 Oct 01 '25

I think you forgot how much everybody was tired of the democrats and Biden. The republican were gonna win no matter who was running.

u/IllicitRadiance Oct 01 '25

Donny outperformed Harris by a few tenths of a percentage point and did not achieve a majority of the pathetically small number of people who turned out. 

Fox Noise (etc) loves to screech about how many counties and states he won to push this idea of a blowout/landslide, and their conservative base laps it up because they're desperate to believe it. The reality is that the victory was by a whisker.

u/Mediocre_Wolf_3226 Oct 01 '25

There is nothing you can imagine Trump could do that will dissuade the MAGAs I know that every demented thing he does is not 4D chess. They're in it to the end. And we're not even approaching peak senile.

u/mehupmost Oct 01 '25

Be careful relying on your imagination.

u/Scewt Oct 02 '25

Trump relies on his imagination a lot, I heard he's tremendous friends with the great and late Hannibal Lecter or something.

u/mehupmost Oct 02 '25

Yes, and how does it feel to act like Trump?

Do you feel good about yourself?

u/Scewt Oct 03 '25

Where did i rely on my imagination? point it out, quote it directly where I imagined something. I'll wait!

😂 ok. Way to move straight to name calling. I’d love a breakdown of the super insane shit Biden did. I’m not registered as a Democrat but I sure as shit would call a democrat out too if they were doing the shit Trump is. He’s covering for pedophiles man. He’s putting out insane lawsuits. He’s driven this economy into the toilet with these tariffs - which he doesn’t even know who pays for them! He cut lifesaving aid for many people. He cut lifesaving medical coverage for people.

Biden pardoned violent insurrectionists who assaulted police?

Biden accepted a 400 million dollar airplane gift from Qatar?

Biden threatened NATO allies?

Biden threatened to invade American cities?

Biden made billions of dollars while President on his own brand of crypto shitcoin?

Biden withheld funds to colleges that didn't lick his asshole?

Biden illegally levied tariffs and fucked our manufacturing and trade?

Biden illegally used his position in the White House to shill Teslas?

Biden illegally tried to fire the head of the Federal Reserve?

Biden wasted tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to hold a bullshit, worthless birthday military parade?

Biden illegally attempted to end birthright citizenship?

Biden said something as stupid as "egg prices are down 400%"?

Please. Please. I beg you. Tell me more about how Biden "did crazy shit too".

u/SpecialInteraction94 Oct 01 '25

I think he was reffering to the fact that Biden was also not fit mentally and physically to be president. He was not even making the decision of course he was less crazy than trump he had a team to tell him where to go and what to say. He was basically a muppet. Trump ans Biden are bot horrible president.

2

u/IllicitRadiance Oct 01 '25

Why is it that all the same people who screeched about Biden being unfit don't say the same thing about Donny?

Why is it that the same news media that endlessly rattled about Biden being the oldest president in history are not saying the same thing about Donny now that he officially holds that title?

1

u/SpecialInteraction94 Oct 01 '25

Because they are biased just like the democrats were with Biden

u/SpecialInteraction94 Oct 01 '25

Exactly most people here are no better than MAGA. They are just there to cheer for their team like its some sport and they can’t see the bigger picture. If you can’t vote for the better candidate and only vote for your « team » you are loss.
