Is there some customary period for it to stay up after someone is fired?

As long as Trump is just going to fabricate stuff and lie to our faces, maybe next time he can just invent the entire war effort itself and not actually drop a single bomb. “We’ve destroyed China. No one’s ever seen anything like it. Totally obliterated.”

It’s not cementing his position though.

After much back-and-forth, Lindell finally grabbed the papers and tossed them on the floor.

Fool. He accepted the papers. No one cares that he then littered. She won.

Fuck that!

I’m happy to disagree respectfully on this and not judge you. I can certainly understand where you’re coming from. I’m also very willing to go low and actually fight back - I agree the Obama way is partly how we got here. I just personally don’t see much to gain on this particular thing, and definitely feel I have something to lose.

My thoughts too. But then I remember how he lived in suspense of the Mueller report for a long long time, railing against it daily as a witch hunt. So the fact that Mueller’s investigation ultimately fizzled didn’t endear Mueller to Trump. It just validated his hate for Mueller.

Deep breath. I wonder if I can say this without the room thinking I’m defending Charlie Kirk… Hm. I’ll give it a shot.

Objectively, I think it’s wrong to celebrate death. I tell my kids that we don’t cheer when someone dies. Even when Trump goes, much as we hate him, we’ll just quietly turn the page. Isn’t there some saying about how you don’t really believe in a principle unless you’re willing to apply to to your worst enemy? Well, so yeah, I will not cheer when Trump dies, though I may moan every day that he’s alive.

Having said this, I would indeed add an extra layer of revulsion for cheering an assassination. In addition to the simple fact that it’s a death, it’s also violence.

So while I appreciate the spirit of this, it’s not a perfect equivalency.

He’s been given such a blank check within the US that he is now completely deluded that he has fiat power around the world. He also thinks the military can force anything he wants to happen.

He’s fucking around, but I have my doubts that he has the requisite intelligence to actually, truly find out. If history is any guide, he will simply continue to fuck around.
