Swollen, slurring Trump announces he will end crime

[peppertree]

Coming to shave the Unided Shaysh!

[Wicked Blue]

1. Is he turning himself in, then?

[TheRealNorth]

6. +1

You beat me to it.

[Auggie]

14. Bravo!

[Firestorm49]

2. Says one of the most notorious and slippery criminals ever allowed to walk the Earth.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. I listen to David Pakman on AM 950 out of St. Louis Park...

After the Thom Hartman Show.

A very insightful podcaster who breaks down comments in a way that can be understood. My question would be...If re-elected, where is the money going to come from from all those affected by Marxist policies when it comes to reporting crimes? Clearly, TDFG is UNHINGED.

[Ray Bruns]

4. Don't you worry about where the money will come from. He'll get to these issues

Right after he passes his great healthcare plan . In two weeks.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. That bears repeating....

We still have not forgotten that there has been NO plan announced yet.

[TheRealNorth]

9. The answer is summary executions...

Those cost hardly anything. He has always stated he liked how Rodrigo Duarte fights drug crimes. And he can rely on the RW militias to carry out this (they had plans to use the RW militias if Trump's coup had been successful- see https://www.thebulwark.com/notes-on-an-authoritarian-conspiracy-inside-the-claremont-institutes-79-days-to-inauguration-report/ ) if some BLM activists and other liberals ended up dead, you know, they must have been drug dealers pedophiles, or groomers.

5. This is Trump's Red Scare

The GOP never changes.

[Norbert]

7. The same guy who bagged about keeping GM in Lordstown.

How did that work out?

[Disaffected]

10. Heh, "lie-ability".

That's one thing the bloated blivit has alright.

[Chainfire]

11. This will play well with his cult.

[edisdead]

12. Evil.

The only thing that lessens crime is strengthening the social contract between humans. Punishing and making life harder for the poor, the homeless, and the disabled is never ever going to work. It will always have the inverse effect, but that is likely their goal.

There are a ton of metaphors like a rising tide lifts all ships and the book that they claim to love has stories depicting this over and over again yet they continue to go down this idea that we have to beat people into submission in order to have “law and order”.

[republianmushroom]

13. is he going to become a buddhist monk somewhere ?

that is the only way he could ever be able to end crime.

[peppertree]

15. Plus - the detox would do him good

The man is a walking Superfund site.

[imanamerican63]

16. "End crime"?

New way of saying he will pardon himself if he gets another chance in the White House!

[peppertree]

18. Plus - it's standard RW autocrat code for justifying martial law

We're not "abusing" or "trampling" - we're just "ending crime!"

They know, too, that's it's an easy line for their mouth-breathers to remember.

Just like Bush's "the people who did this will hear from us soon" line - which I remember being used ad nauseum by Repugs in the run-up to the Iraq invasion.

Republicans have always been good at Pavlovian politics (but then, given their voters...).

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. Didn't he essentially promise that back in 2016?

I'm sure he gave no details about how he plans to accomplish this.

[peppertree]

19. And (of course) crime skyrocketed

Republicans will often spit back "the Covid lockdowns!" as a reason (though crime had been rising throughout the Cheeto regime).

But in other countries, they had no such crime wave.

Just another Cheeto failure.

[kimbutgar]

20. What is he going to do?

Wave a magic wand? He is such a lying sack of shit. I wish he’d just STFU and go away!

[Kaleva]

21. He's worried about DeSantis who is meeting with police groups

[peppertree]

22. +1

Luckily for him, deSaster looks like a cross between Joe Pesci and a Smurf (a nasty one).

Not the law-and-order authoritarian imagine Republican voters had in mind.

[Mr.Bill]

23. Why didn't he do all these things

during the four years he was president?

[peppertree]

24. Meh. Too busy cashing in.

And spending "quality time" with Ivanka, of course.

[sakabatou]

25. Start with yourself, asshole.

[peppertree]

26. But - he IS the state

And Ivanka, the "private sector" (know what I mean?).
