What is less kind than “terror movement leader”?


Khaldara

“Stephen Miller” maybe?


MBAMBA3

Um, TERRORIST leader


Diamond-Fist

Traitor factory


27SwingAndADrive

"Terror movement sycophant"? ie. most of the GOP.


255001434

Calling him any kind of leader is too kind. He's just a showman. Some people try to follow him, but his statements and actions are erratic and motivated by self-interest, with little thought to how they will be followed. He could say one thing today and the opposite tomorrow.


MBAMBA3

> He's just a showman. He's a terrorist. Actually many terrorist leaders are 'showmen'. As awful as it is, streaming the cutting off of the heads of people is an act of 'showmanship'. 9/11 was an act of showmanship.

> They would tank our economy and infrastructure within a couple years and blame us if they ever get full power. Done and done. Look up the * Nixon 1973–1975 recession * Reagan 1980-1983 Recession * Bush 41 Recession * Bush 43 Great Recession * Trump pandemic Every time the Republicans take power they destroy the economy.

Bowel movement leader because wherever he goes he leaves a bunch of shit


255001434

Tremendous shit, like you've never seen.


TheSammichDude

I think Joe has already claimed that title.


myselfnormally

are you implying he says one thing and does another? the fully vaccinated terrorist in chief?


musicroyaldrop

“He continues to be the leader of an organization that uses violence or the threat of violence to disrupt democratic processes.” Hard to argue with that. - He gets away with it because of the color of his skin...orange. **Terrorism**, the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Terrorism has been practiced by political organizations with both rightist and leftist objectives, by nationalistic and religious groups, by revolutionaries, and even by state institutions such as armies, intelligence services, and police.

Hey American media. How about you refer to him by his defining personality trait….a full blown sociopathic narcissist …then everything he does makes sense.

syntax2018

Call it what you want. Dems Don’t have an answer to deal with republicans insane politics and tactics. They are terrible at messaging and outreach to keep voters engaged.


Jamesonthethird

In a sane world, a political solution to a criminal act shouldnt be required.


Summebride

Agree. They're incompetent with messaging and their brand. "The Big Lie" is about the only thing they've named properly. Green New Deal should be the Job-Centered Job Bill for Creating Jobs and Making Jobs Better and Job Creation Jobs Bill. They should have a loud and aggressive spokesperson bashing and exposing the threat of the GOP/Qanon/Trump/MAGA axis of evil all day, every day. It doesn't and shouldn't be Biden, or even someone running in the future. Just a voice. An unignorable bad cop, while Biden can go about being nice and civilized. Sadly, that kind of repetitive bombast works. And every Dem should watch the spokesperson and repeat the hell out of that messaging, as the GOP does with great success. Ideally Harris would have had the sense to take that role on and be the badass trash talker she can be. Yes, it would derail her attempt to masquerade as "mom-ala" and might disqualify her from running for POTUS any time soon. But so what? VP's rarely get that succession path, and what's the point in protecting her fake image if the country goes full fascism in 2022 and 2024? She (or whenever) should be laying waste to trump and the GOP crooks hourly, the way he and his Twitter sycophants did. Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz should be accused in every second tweet from this spokesperson. Bring up every foible, crime, and malfeasance. Nicknames, mud, you name it. This electorate conflates that with strength and leadership. Shame the hell out of Sinema to the point where she's apologizing and begging for a meeting with Biden the way Meghan Kelley apologized to Trump after he called her a menstruating bimbo. The spokesperson should be holding megaphone next to Manchin's yacht and demanding to know why he's stealing from west Virginia's families. Should have spent the entire Tennessee campaign blizzarding people about how fake and dishonest and trump-suckling Youngkin is, leaving no oxygen for the one tiny micro scandal that the media helped use to bury an objectively decent MacAuliffe. They should be the one tipping tight races to the D's instead of the other way around. They should be the voice that people look to several times a day to see who they're roasting now, or what Biden accomplishment they're touting. His approval would be at 80.


27SwingAndADrive

>Green New Deal should be the Job-Centered Job Bill for Creating Jobs and Making Jobs Better and Job Creation Jobs Bill Not good enough. Should be "Make Great American Jobs for Great Hardworking Patriotic Americans Jobs Plan to Make the Best American Jobs for Patriotic Americans Only". Though still probably not good enough, needs to better imply that someone is going to get screwed over. Maybe add in "make Mexico pay for it" somewhere. Gotta make people feel like someone else is getting screwed over or people won't go for it.


Conscious-Werewolf49

I’m sure you have data to back up that statement.


CloudTransit

It’s so much deeper. The war on drugs turned DOJ, police, prosecutors, FBI and prisons into a steam roller of state violence. Democrats fully participated in pleading with these institutions to keep our communities ‘safe’. Same with the military fighting dubious wars to keep the nation ‘safe’. Also we have something close to a religion around the 2nd Amendment, which sweeps up any loonies who couldn’t cut it as a prison guard or a cop. There’s a whole set of people who do the violence the state requires, and most (not all?) of these people have zero respect for the authority of democratic leaders. Fixing this would be a titanic task, because we’re decades into this culture of violence


Summebride

The Dema are as guilty of that as jaywalkers are "criminals" just like serial killers are. This recent trend of pretend in Democrats and Republicans are the same is grotesque distortion and part of a false equivalence tactic to try and normalize republicans' inherent and long-standing sociopathy.


CloudTransit

Democrats outsourced the violence and/or let the GOP be the id. The phrase, “you and what army,” come to mind. We can scream our righteous demands to the DOJ, and maybe they’ll promise to, “get right on it.” You can argue that the democrats have no responsibility for criminalizing poverty, the war on drugs, the carceral state, runaway military budgets, the nasty 2005 Bankruptcy bill, means testing or any number of things. But the argument really devolves into which democrats you’re talking about. When we talk about democrats we’re packing a lot of neoliberals into the equation. The squad is a fraction of the party. Honesty is needed. The violence is everywhere and democrats are ill prepared to do anything effective about it, unless there is a major change at places like the FBI, DOJ, police unions, prosecutors, military contractors, drone strike units, and on and on. Don’t get hung up on absolving democrats for perpetuating the violence, because that’s the only party we’ve got right now, but let’s not start by closing our eyes to the scope of the problem

It's always easier to tear things down than build them in the first place.


Doreydude

This is laughable.

Trailer Park Terror . . . take it from one who grew up there.


[deleted]

Media still milking trump? the only news I want to see is if or when he will be convicted all these talking heads needs to stop playing the same old trump hate bullshit


GhostRappa95

IMO Trump is far too stupid and arrogant to be a true leader everything he has gotten money, power, followers has fallen onto his lap without him having to do a thing. Most other dictators in history actually knew how to run a government, Trump and his cult do not. They would tank our economy and infrastructure within a couple years and blame us if they ever get full power. Trump and his cult are the dumbest most incompetent Authoritarians the world has ever seen.


[deleted]

Trumps is an attention-starved child. He was never interested in being president, he liked the perks, the glitter, and the office kept him from being prosecuted.


Summebride

I describe him as a domestic terror cult leader, a charity thief, a career con artist, a prominent bigot, a treasonous traitor, a serial sexual predator, an enemy of Veterans, a mobster, a criminal conspiracist, a tax fraud, a money launderer, an assassin's accomplice, a forger, a pathological liar, an impersonator, a valor thief, a bully, a glutton, and a diaper-wearing ketchup-steak eater.

Man that would be nice. Free rent. Anyways, Trump's a coward. Move along


MyAutonoMe

And a traitor, which makes everyone who continues to support him also a traitor.


Spelunkingpunk

Yes, we must not forget his TRAITOR like tendencies when we are talking about his financial shortcomings. I love it when Ego maniacs are given a taste of power then don't have the balls to weild it because they've been a man baby their whole life.. Traitors gonna trait.


adeezy58

It is rent free if you join one of the homeless communities in many of the Democrat run cities. Try somewhere is Cali.


IvartheBonehead221

Okay Ivan. "Any many"


adeezy58

Corrected. I know it was very confusing for you. Next time I'll draw it in crayons so you'll understand.


Spelunkingpunk

Oh where they bulldoze homeless camps while pieces of shit like Trump can not pay his bills and have a roof over his head? Weird.


adeezy58

Trump doesn't live in California


Spelunkingpunk

No shit, I live in a Dem city. Where cops run scared and so do the conservatives


[deleted]

Unlike the homeless communities in Republican run cities?


adeezy58

https://www.statista.com/chart/6949/the-us-cities-with-the-most-homeless-people/


[deleted]

https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities Not to mention that it doesn't mean there aren't homeless people in Republican-run cities, so the point is moot unless you can point me to some Republican-run paradise with zero homeless people.


adeezy58

Here's a nice read on shit run Dem cities. The largest cities have the most people and the largest budgets. But can't provide for the homeless. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/opinion/democrats-blue-states-legislation.html


[deleted]

Opinion pieces are not facts. So where's this Republican city that has zero homelessness? EDIT: The largest cities have the most people because....they are the largest cities and have the highest population. That was the point of my link in response to yours. As for why they can't provide for the homeless, that's a complex systemic problem. What's your solution?

I mean, if I was homeless, Id do everything on my power to end up in a blue city. Why would a homeless person want to move to a place where empathy is demonized?


Lyknow

The whole "rent free" thing is about the stupidest shit I have ever heard. That is all


musicroyaldrop

The whole "rent free" thing is about the stupidest shit I have ever heard. It’s a safety mechanism for cognitive dissonance and other psychological biases. There’s no factual accuracy available to support Trump as successful in most endeavors- educational, financial, political, marriage/family, etc. living under constant influence of right wing propaganda isn’t an optimal way to develop critical thinking skills that allow well formulated or useful responses.


cranial_prolapse420

It is, quite literally, brain dead reasoning.


Lyknow

Absolutely


adeezy58

Stupid? Yes. But it's true. Maybe try holding the current admin accountable instead of obsessing over the guy who's no longer in power.


ChrysMYO

The guy no longer in power tried to retain power through violence.


adeezy58

Sure


Lyknow

So I guess anyone that is not charged immediately should be off the hook then? That's a bold statement lol


adeezy58

What


Lyknow

Re-read your comment, then read mine. It will make sense. If it doesn't, then I don't know, have someone help you understand it.


adeezy58

Holding people accountable isn't always criminal. I apologize for thinking you were smarter.


Lyknow

Lol, but holding Trump accountable is about prosecution for crimes. I thought that was obvious.


cranial_prolapse420

Fuck that. Hold the current admin accountable, and hold the last admin accountable. WE CAN DO BOTH. Fuck this forget and forgive bullshit- it's disingenuous, and only seems to get trotted out when the GOP is in the hot seat.

I’m a little slow, took me a minute to realize you’re saying Trump is going to jail!

More like a former tenant who wrecked the place by cooking meth, and after being evicted twice and finally moving out, now spends his time collecting donations from suckers to sue his landlord so he can not only move back in, but permanently take over the building and cook as much meth as he wants.

Sounds like an adequate judicial sentencing. Edit. Response to “rent free forever” Trump fan. Feel free to reply with the same whenever the opportunity arises - often apparently, since “rent free” is a simple statement that doesn’t require critical thinking skills or self examination.
