I suppose it's technically true, in a very dark, dark way.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If elected, America's collective libido will be completely destroyed. Because no one will be having sex, no one will be thinking about abortion.
He had them at "women won't even think..."
What he meant to say: When he is elected again, women won't be allowed to think.
Even your wife then, your ex-wife, your ex-ex-wife, your female wheelchair driver and your mother? Great! /s
So he is going to make it a thought crime?
Is it just me or do the loudest voices about abortion just stand as living examples of why (their) abortion should have happened?
Have to wonder how long his clueless ass would survive if his handlers walked out
So, it's all just a stream of fucking nonsense, isnt it? I gotta wonder how its like for folks actually there. They arent even listening, are they?
My friend has a theory that he doesn't even have thoughts in the conventional sense. He speaks by simply stringing sounds together that he thinks sounds good.
he's an LLM
One that's been trained on its own output for too long.
Didn't he call it "weaving"? Had linguistic "friends" who said he was a "genius" because he brings in so many "topics" and "ties" them all back together? Huh, lotta quotes up there. Almost like it's sarcasm.
Execution of child after birth.... Yeah I missed that talking point at the DNC.
Oh is he rolling out free child care, healthcare?
Don't forget food for children at home and in schools!
Paid parental leave for both parents too, I'm sure!
Damn, and he just threw in the 3-day workweek too. I totally misjudged the guy
They will think of it more.
The veil is so thin. That is a clear threat to women’s rights. This asshole needs to get squashed in November
Your face putting off women from having sex is not the same thing as getting them to not think about abortions.
"...because we will make that illegal."
They’ll make being un-pregnant illegal.
You know what, fuck it I'll say it, the bullet missed because it knew it was too good for him.
2 inches away from a better world
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Trump is WORSE dead than alive. And even much worse if assassinated instead of dying of natural causes. Be careful with what you wish for. Do you think his cult followers are bad now?? How do you think they'll be if they get their Jesus-like martyr?
The perfect example is Venezuela. Go ahead, read about Chávez and what happened after he died.
I want that guy IN PRISON and stewing in bitterness til the end of his time.
And like I've said before you can what-if martyrdom all you want, but whoever comes after him won't have the the history and boomer-mania he has. You think Vance or DeSantis can lead the maga moron collective stupidity the Trump voter base contains? No.
Trump has the half-century of being a garbage human in the public sphere that is propped mainly by old people now also in the twilight of their lives that wanted to be like him in the 80s. Him staying relevant makes their outdated racism and intolerance acceptable in a world t:hat is moving forward and saying "enough is enough"
I hope you're right. But having seen it before with other governments, including the one I fled 23 years ago, I'd rather not have to find out that "what if" path.
I totally agree with you there, and I'm so sorry that you had to flee your home.
It's alright, friend. I appreciate your words.
He'll be a martyr in prison, too. He needs to have a massive, disabling stroke so his followers can see him look irredeemably weak.
I wonder if that will work because Jordan Peterson went thru a coma because of his all meat diet and ppl still follow him.
At this rate they'll think he was poisoned or something if he has a stroke.
I bet they still rally around their God-Emperor.
My wish would be that after he loses this election - and I think would truly become unable to run again (because at that point I think almost everyone would be able to admit he’s too old) - that everyone simply forgets about him. His ongoing trials would get no more than a blip in coverage, whether he’s sentenced to jail or slapped with probation, it barely gets talked about. There can be no worse punishment from that man’s perspective than screaming into a void and no one hears him and no one cares.
This is a total pipe dream, but I am willing to turn off any news program, ignore any news link and not buy any newspaper that has an article about him if it contributes to ignoring him until he turns into an old useless husk and departs from this world. I wish it could be done now but people still need to be consistently reminded how dangerous he is until their vote is locked in this November.
He'll never stop running because then all of his crime prosecution he can call politically motivated. He knows damned well he's a crook so its his best (albeit still irrelevant) defense.
A thought crime is exactly what Americans need right now.
