      Am I crazy or do presidents-elect usually not get this involved so early and so publicly? Like he’s been meeting with world leaders and whatnot?

        During the 2008 financial crisis both Obama and McCain had White House meetings to try and figure out a solution, that was before the election. But I guess in that instance they were all basically on the same team and Bush didn’t want to set up his successor for failure, whomever it was (McCain would’ve probably done the exact same thing).

            I mean, I don’t. He was terrible and I hate that Democrats are laundering his and the Cheney’s reputations. It’s just that Republicans have always been on a downhill trajectory, each President worse than their predecessor.

          It is nice to hear when politicians are actually working together to try and solve a big problem.

          That would never happen with Trump.

          I miss the days when McCain was seen as right wing. He at least had integrity.

        You’re not crazy. no.

        But, eh, he’s been meeting with World Leaders™️through out Biden’s term, and that’s really not normal either. (well. with the exception of the sitting president asking an ex pres to do some negotiating or something. That kinda happens.)

        It’s partially because of the previous term, it’s not the same as a random person about to be president for the first time.

    It’s pretty hilarious that Trump voters are so psycho that even when people try to kill Trump it’s still one of his supporters lol.

    …and the Panama canal takeover threat is associated with tax evasion. Half of the US voters support the orange clown and they have no idea about the disaster approaching at full-speed.

      In one of the letters police say were found on his phone, Livelsberger expressed support for Donald Trump and the president-elect’s allies, Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He also expressed disdain for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and income inequality and expressed a concern about homelessness, according to the letters.

      Source for above is ABC

        This dude was a Trump and Musk fanboy and killed himself in a Cyber Truck outside of Trump tower? That’s desperate as hell.

            No. Generally as a rule, I don’t read dumb fucks’ manifestos unless they do something useful like raise awareness about the asshattery of health insurance denials.

            Are you referring to the civilian deaths in Nimruz?

            I read through what I think is the email. It kind of sounds like some guilt and disillusionment mixed with paranoia over the Jersey drones and China.

            I could see it as some sort of plea to Musk and Trump, but it’s not easy logic to follow. Unless it’s m just reading it wrong or something.

        Right. So someone with no understanding of the world.

      Probably just going to lie about it.

      “Biden forged the so-called suicide note to distract from the fact that it was actually an Obama paid Chinese Venezuelan left wing antifa immigrant! Our source Mr.Lieoutmyass Forlotsofmoney has the evidence but unfortunately he says his dog ate it.”

      They just won’t mention it. Plus there’s an actual ISIS terrorist they can focus on anyway.

      As another comment pointed out, you wouldn’t know it with all the meetings and dealings he’s done since even before the election results came in completely.

        With it being his second term, it’s not surprising he knows what he wants to do and who he wants to meet with. It’s going to be a disaster like the first term, except this time he knows what he’s doing and can be an even more efficient disaster.

    Why would a pro-Trump supporter blow up a car outside of one of his properties? Something doesn’t add up. And in one picture he had a pro-Ukraine shirt on. Doesn’t really make sense.
