Criticise Trump as much as you want to, I do it often, because he thoroughly deserves it at times, but at some point, you cannot fault a lot of what he has done and still plans to do.... because if you still do, then your dislike or hatred of the man is just clouding your judgement.

I can berate or insult him.... and congratulate him at the same time, because he is that kind of divisive figure.... he swings this way one day, and then completely fucks up his public persona by swinging some other way tomorrow, but you cannot deny that he is good at what he does, and I genuinely do believe that he wants to do the right thing for America and it's citizens.... in fact I have no doubt at all.

He will make mistakes, and probably a lot of them, but I still believe that he will bring far more postitives than negatives, not just to America, but the world.

But he so easily creates his own enemies by what he says or does on an almost daily basis.

For instance, quite a few on here have been constantly bashing Trump about his previous regular remarks about the unfair CBS interview with Kamala, or the ongoing exploitation of American aid funds around the world ...... I mean, you even have Stav making idiotic statements like this below.

"some stupid imagined grievance that the whole world is exploiting America"

Then we also look at the large amount of previous posts where people quoted or posted articles from Politico about something regarding Trump over the years... but more an that just now.

Well, the news has just broke that the full unedited CBS interview with Kamala, which Trump sued CBS over, has been released, after the Federal Communications Commission ordered the original interview to be made available to the public............ and it clearly shows where CBS intentionally and deliberately ommited large segments of that same interview with Kamala, to such an extent, that they only released 20 minutes of the 60 minutes that were actually filmed.

They deliberately edited or creatively amended her comments in this interview on the following issues:

Ukraine

Trump being a racist

Israel

Iran

Why she should be president

NATO

Economic plans

China

Taiwan

Border Crisis

These issues were all edited because it showed Harris in a very poor light due to how she could not really answer or articulate responses to these questions on these specific issues above.

And yet so many people, even on this forum, thought Trump was delusional for stating this and accusing CBS of doing this.

Now it has also just been discovered that "Politico" has received $8.2 million dollars from multiple government bodies or USAID, since 2015, which is essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico, using taxpayers money.... another anti-Trump organisation.

Then you have to look at what has been discovered in literally less than one month, regarding where the American foreign aid has been going, and how it has been completely and utterly raped, abused and exploited under the Biden administration...... and if I were an American citizen, and all these payments are confirmed to be true, I would seriously be pissed.

Despite all the many repeated attempts to try and stop Musk and his DOGE team from accessing certain critical and sensitive information, this is what has already apparently been confirmed as expenses that were paid for, using taxpayers money.

And people like Stav want to say it is an "Imagined Grievance" that USA aid is being abused or exploited ........

Harris didn't do Rogan because she knew she wouldn't be able to maintain the facade for 3 unedited hours.

Pakie, Rogan came out this week and announced that the Kamala campaign team are being dishonest with how they wanted to come on his podcast.

Joe said that the only 3 people in the room when Trump was there for 3 hours, was Joe, Trump and Jaimie.

Because of the amount a flack that Joe said he has been receiving since last year, Joe said that he wanted to finally clear the air on exactly how it went down with Kamala's team.

He said the people on Kamala's campaign team are jumping around trying to find someone to blame, to protect their jobs by placing the blame on Joe and his team, when in fact they did absolutely everything possible to accomodate them.

He also said that they made numerous crazy demands which he refused to agree to.

Joe actually said that he has all the necessary documentation to prove that the Harris team were and still are being dishonest and deceitful about what happened last year.

This updated information still reaches a big audience.

I said a while back, that a lot of interesting shit is going to get stirred up when Trump comes into office, and that I cannot wait, and some people made fun of that..... yeah well..... just look at what has happened in his first calendar month alone....

Let the fun begin

"Pakie, Rogan came out this week and announced that the Kamala campaign team are being dishonest with how they wanted to come on his podcast."

 

Indeed, they are now lying, after the fact, to attempt to save face.

 

As Rogan says, they probably realised they screwed up by not going on his show, since the Trump podcast got 50 million views. And the Kamala people lying about it now is simply a face saving effort.

 

50 million views though...geez, that alone is enough to win an election. When last did an MSM channel get that sort of viewership?

 

And then you add up the views for all the other podcasts Trump went on. 

 

Like him or hate him, he was prepared to spend many hours presenting who is to the world. To the point where all the podcasters said that he didn't pre-arrange for any questions or topics to be excluded. He just signed on the line and spoke.

 

That's what America voted for. A flawed guy that is willing to show who he is, over a politician that needs to present herself in the perfect light in order to appear marginally acceptable.

 

Transparency > everything else.

That's the difference between Trump, who puts himself out there for better or worse and the left, who is all about controlling the narrative.

If only they put forth a semi capable candidate who could be trusted to speak for themselves, eh? Instead they went with puppets who had to be leashed all the time.

Then multiply that by the amount of video snippets just from that Joe Rogan interview alone that was sent via Whatsapp, Snapchat, Facebook, TikTok ....and most importantly "X"....

Spot on

One can only imagine what is still going to come out the woodwork, especially from DOGE 

Not even the most staunch anti-Trumpers can justify what evidence is coming out now, which a lot of us supported back when it first became public, and some made fun of....

Quite a few stupid looking individuals floating around these here parts.... lol

This is precisely why and how he won the election....

This time, the American public in general will not buy into the mainstream media bullshit against Trump.... that is in the rear view mirror.

Trump's actions alone will now dictate how people will think of him in years to come.... not the media.

Liberals, and their belief in the power of the group. It just takes enough people to support incorrect statements to force it on people who see through it.

See the example given elsewhere of the precipice. Liberals look for submission and gang up to enforce it.

Money borrowed from the FED that does not exist without the US existing, ensuring the FED will never take a move that would endanger the existence of the US. Let's keep monetizing the wealth of other countries and play victim, as liberals love doing it.

Keep posting on this story. I hear there is a lot more to it. 

 

Apparently a new software has uncovered a massive money/power feedback loop utilising NGOs as nodes in the scheme. 

It's no wonder we were all perplexed how there were that many crazies on the left, supporting the most insane and indefensible ideas. It's because it was all manufactured. From loonies supporting men competing against woman in sport to pre-op transgender woman being allowed into the same bathrooms as woman. None of it was organic...it was all a creation and tax payer money was the lifeblood. 

Here's a brief clip I saw about it on Rogan...

side note: I'm proud to say that I have been watching Rogan since his very first podcasts. Without a doubt, though he's not a journalist, he's been the best journalist of the last two decades. Amazing really. How knuckle dragging MMA commentator could overtake everybody in media by simply being curious and honest. He's been wrong a million times, he's been a dick to people sometimes and he admits he's only a touch above average intelligence, at best...but he's curious and doesn't have an agenda. He might not agree with all his guests but he will never not allow them as much time as they want to put all their ideas forward. 

And you can see Rogan's fingerprints all over the top podcasts too. He has shown that the main ingredient for success is honesty. 

Years back, Steven Crowder was on his podcast and Joe treated him very badly. What did Joe do? The very next day, he went on Crowder's podcast and straight-up apologised. "It got out of control, I treated you badly, it was uncalled for and I'm sorry. It's on me."


Where in your life would see any journo do this? Exactly, never.

 

Long live the curious knuckle draggers.

Also, here is a paraphrased conversation between myself and my partner(a massive TDS sufferer but lovely otherwise).

 

Her - Who does Elon think he is? He has no security clearance but has taken a bunch of young guys with sleeping bags into USAID and apparently they are going to investigate stuff. It crazy.

 

Me - Okay, perhaps you don't agree with the method, but let's wait for the outcome.

 

Outcome - massive corruption uncovered.

Fully agreed Plum.

There are other whispers being floated about..... which I don't really know what to think, to be very honest... just seems far out there.

"Apparently" there is proof that the CIA and USAID were illegally utilised to either fund, support or implement the impeachment of Trump in 2019 ....

Sounds a bit too much, but nothing surprises me anymore.....so let's see if anything comes of it.

My question for all Trumpanzees please : answer yes or no only

Do you agree with Trump that the election was stolen ?

Fuck all to do with bribery and corruptin that took over the USA when Obama and Biden were Presidents,   The 6 Janaury 2021 incident has been incvestigated and was nothing more than DP propaganda BS scam.   Hilary Clintonm never admit losing in 2016 and was involved in one huge Russian Hoax scam much more serious than the January 6 incident ever was and was used in the media to lie about and leading to two Special Counil investigations and an invesgtigation by the Inspector General of Justice and used by the Democrats - which cost the US Government hudreds of millions of dollars and showed up lies in abundance and no proof,    If their was a coup attempt in the USA it was that BS .

The January 6 BS  is a con screen because corrupt Democrat Politicians fear  will  happen if their corrupt activities are being investigated and they land in jail as a result.   That is why they try and  use the January 6 BS to try and prevent certain appoitments  nominated by Trump.   They know that what is bound to happen if the crime protection scam is kept in place in the Justice Department and the FBI and they fear they woud go to jail when their looting  of  Government is exposed,.    So waif for it - under Obama and Biden the USA became the most corrupt country in the case of Democracies in the world.
