- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Up there with running biden in 2024
Have this convo with my Dad all the time, regarding media. I say something like some of the media, esp. CNN and MSNBC are responsible for something. They highlight every Trump tweet or post, or speech, or rally. And then say or have their anchors say he's a threat to democracy. So you show his rally? People who watch CNN don't need to be convinced to vote. but they need the clicks and the watches and imprints and the hate watching.
I am not like a cultural/legacy media expert but it's something like that.
My Dad will say its their job to report the news. but what's more important? it's clear that either they don't truly view Trump as the existential threat that they paint him as, or they do, and they really don't care that much.
so everyday or so my Dad will say DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID OR WHAT HE SAID and I'm usually like no, or I saw a headline. I don't revel it or follow it that way anymore. For what?

UAW Files Federal Labor Charges Against Donald Trump and Elon Musk for Attempting to Intimidate and Threaten Workers
2/11
The UAW has filed federal labor charges against disgraced billionaires Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their illegal attempts to threaten and intimidate workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes.
3/11
After significant technical delays on X, formerly known as Twitter, Trump and Musk had a rambling, disorganized conversation on Monday evening in front of over one million listeners in which they advocated for the illegal firing of striking workers.
4/11
“I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump told Musk. “You walk in, you say, You want to quit? They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone.”
5/11
Under federal law, workers cannot be fired for going on strike, and threatening to do so is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act.
6/11
“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean. When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean,” said UAW President Shawn Fain.
7/11
“Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, and he will always side with billionaires like Elon Musk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a Super PAC to get him elected. Both Trump and Musk want working-class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It’s disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns.” @ShawnFainUAW /search?q=#StandUpUAW

Lmao Elon is really worrie
9/11
Y’all are so mad that Trump and Elon had an open conversation on X that you filed charges against them
10/11
Not to be that guy but this is literally illegal and a violation of the constitution. Elon Musk is their boss so he can fire them for whatever reason he wants to. I once got fired for eating an extra french fry off someone’s plate during my shift as a dishwasher and I deserved it. I learned my lesson and knew never to do this again

Lmao so predictable. No wonder everyone hates you

Bizarre moment Trump says ‘beautiful’ Kamala Harris looks like wife Melania in Elon Musk X interview
‘I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today. She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live,’ the former president said of his presidential rival

Donald Trump bizarrely said that his Democratic presidential rival Kamala Harris looks like his wife Melania Trump in his rambling interview with Elon Musk on Monday night.
The former president joined the tech billionaire on X Spaces for what was billed as a game changing “conversation,” but actually ended up being a more than two-hour-long very friendly interview that was instantly beset with tech problems – not to mention questions about Trump’s apparent lisp.
In the interview, Trump launched into a scathing critique of Harris calling her a “terrible” leader, before he swiftly drifted to fawning over her “beautiful” appearance.
“We need smart people, and people that have the ability to lead. She doesn’t have that ability. Can you imagine her with chairman Xi [Jinpin, President of the People’s Republic of China],” he said, speaking with a distinct lisp.
Musk, who remained agreeable throughout the two-hour interview, admitted that it “would be silly”.
“She is terrible, she is terrible,” Trump doubled down. “She’s getting a free ride.”
The former president then abruptly segwayed into talking about Harris’s looks, drawing comparison between her and the former first lady.
“I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today. She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live,” Trump said of Harris, referring to the latest edition of Time Magazine, which brands Harris’s campaign as “the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history.”

“She looked very much like our great first lady, Melania,” Trump gushed as Musk met his comment with an awkward chuckle and a reserved, “yeah…”
“She didn’t look like Camilla,” Trump said, purposely butchering Harris’ name. “Of course, she’s a beautiful woman and we’ll leave it at that.”
“Right… well yeah, well, you know,” Musk said, before scrambling to change the subject and entering into a monologue about the American dream.
Musk, a self-styled “free speech absolutist”, vowed to use his X platform as a political tool to fight what he calls the “woke mind virus.”
But the hotly-anticipated live-stream was marred with issues from the offset, being hit with a 40-minute delay due to what Musk claimed was a cyberattack.

Eventually overcoming technical glitches, the interview got under way at around 8.40pm ET with Musk peppering Trump with softball questions.
The former president continued to duck and weave past the tech moguls attempts to get him to discuss policy, instead reverting to typical soundbites – including more than 20 false claims, according to a CNN fact check – and attacks on senior Democrats.
Among his familiar untruths were his repeated false claims that Venezuela is sending murderers and rapists to the US and that the ocean will rise an eighth of an inch every 400 years – when it will rise more than that each year.

Trump also gushed that Kim Jong Un “really likes me” after the pair shared dinner together, before declaring him as the “absolute boss” of North Korea.
He also expressed his admiration for Musk’s authoritative leadership style, declaring him the “greatest cutter” for firing his staff if they complain about working conditions.
Musk publicly endorsed Trump’s presidential bid last month, marking a complete U-turn from the 2020 election where he sided with President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Hours after the Trump-Musk interview, the tech tyc00n said that he is also willing to interview Harris ahead of the November election.
“Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too,” he wrote on his social media platform.
Harris’s campaign team meanwhile responded to the interview with a scathing statement calling Trump and Musk “self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”
The other thing that back in 2016 was that despite all the stupid, racist stuff he said the messaging overall was better. “Drain the Swamp” actually worked because most people think politics is corrupt and not for the people. Especially at the federal level. Saying that he can do better when he already had his chance isn’t going to hold as well this time.

Abortion is on the ballot in Missouri on Nov 5… No abortion measure has failed since being on the ballot in 8 states so far, a couple of them house seats gonna get flipped but I won’t hold youDon't let Florida fool you
Disgusting that shyt pisses me off so much
That's irrelevant, though. There are a lot of voters who are OK with abortion but not OK with Democrats. It's called cognitive dissonance.Abortion is on the ballot in Missouri on Nov 5… No abortion measure has failed since being on the ballot in 8 states so far, a couple of them house seats gonna get flipped but I won’t hold you
Many conservative White women will vote to preserve abortion but at the same time vote straight Republican. It is what it is
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
