Get used to this playbook again, America 1) Trump says something outrageous/stupid/dangerous 2) Dems say, "Geez that thing Trump said was outrageous/stupid/dangerous" 3) Fox News hits Dems for "melting down" while minimizing the outrageous/stupid/dangerous thing Trump said

Can he be arrested for treason this time? He will lie under oath & proceed to brag to his friends about his importance by sharing confidential documents! Will he be prosecuted for it this time? Or will he just be allowed to continue his crimes?

Nothing Trump says raises so much as an eyebrow. When your opponent refuses to comply with the social contract, when they construct their own reality, and when they fashion a narrative to excuse their excesses... They are completely delusional and deranged. I have 0 emotion for any of them.

The best way to battle this kind of toxic disinformation is not to reprint it, not to quote it, and only cover the facts. We need to mute the disinformation and all of Trump-and-family blather and BS and not get distracted away from what Trump’s team is actually up to.

I'm starting to wonder if that's not exactly the way. No amount of outrage works anymore. They're not ashamed or embarrassed. They revel in the thought of people getting upset. I think the response from here on should be "Huh, Trump said something stupid" and leave it at that.

I’m not participating. I’m not going to get used to it and MSM shouldn’t either. They need to think for themselves more instead of following DT’s narrative. I can’t believe they’re still falling for it.

The ONLY way to analyze stuff Trump says: EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS AN ATTEMPT AT MANIPULATION. 1. Who is he trying to manipulate? 2. For what purpose? Dems calling him out (lies/crazy/stupid) misses the point. Truth means nothing. Manipulation is about power. The same is true for MAGA media.

Mind Fucking by the Master of Mind Fucking. I guess there are more voters who love this shit. I really wish the inauguration was TONIGHT, so we can get this dumb shit started and the countdown can begin. Protect YOUR Peace, Baby 💜

A suggestion to Democrats booked for their comments - go after the anchor. "Oh come on, Harris, you really don't believe that, do you? (Face to camera) You all know this is ridiculous but I don't know why Harris is trying to play you. (Face to Harris) Why are you doing this to your viewers?"

Do not - DO NOT - activate step 2 for them. Just stop talking about him outside of statements of dispassionate fact, no matter what he does. Also, don’t patronize republican donors if you can help it. Check open secrets before you spend your money.

I’m sorry sir but you keep posting Fox News Clips like this should surprise us. I try to ignore the MAGA cultists but you keep them on display. It’s getting tough to continue to follow you.

4) congressional Reps take it seriously and pass bad legislation around it. 5) Dems sue & win 6) rep dark money takes appeal to Texas so judge kacsmaryk can kick it to the Supreme Clergy 7) Supreme Clergy makes shit up to enshrine it. 8) Thomas and Alito go fishing with Rep dark money folks

That are now part of the tariffs the new administration wants to inflict on other countries that have them like China. They are also looking at getting to Africa's rare minerals and exploiting them.

You mean people melt down when a leader of a nations threatens the sovereignty of other nations? Sound like Trump wants his own Ukraine to wage war on. Cause he’s one of the big dictators on the block now.

The response by Dems should then be to make the GOP then own that “outrageous/stupid/dangerous thing”. Take it from Trump saying it to saying every R in Congress owning it. “We’re not melting down. The GOP agenda is to put US lives at risk to invade an ally”

Other people: "OMG, can you believe he said this?" Me: "YES! He says everything and laughs with glee every time you say, "OMG, can you believe he said this?" But yet everyone keeps playing their part.

This has been my biggest frustration--we have people discussing *invading a NATO ally* as if it were a perfectly debatable point as opposed to some objectively evil/crazy shit...EVEN BY TRUMP STANDARDS.

Because that's what MAGAtes want to hear. To MAGA there's nothing more satisfying than to perceive the Dems to be losing their marbles over one of Trump's foolish, misguided, intrasigent and reaction baiting conduct.

Don’t melt down. Say, “Okay, show me the cost benefit analysis, the plan and timeline. And you tell me the former cohost of weekend fox n frens will manage conquering Panama, while fighting NATO when the US attacks Greenland and Canada? Okay, Donnie, take your bill to Congress.”

You left out the 4th item: 4) Trump uses the cover of the distraction caused by the outrageous statementto get something equally outrageous accomplished (See getting unqualified and morally reprehensible nominees confirmed, cutting Social Security, etc., etc.)

I am weak in Idiot But can someone explain why adding 41 million people Of which ~ 20 % are immigrants help them ? Because quick math. ~ 75 Mill liberals ~ 41 mil new citizens You are around ~ 75 Mil. They may not be liberals but they will be pissed so Congratulations you are now a minority.

The engaging narrative wins We would rather talk[critique] about the stupid Meanwhile, no discussion of policy? It's like doing the budget for any organization People will procrastinate at the highest levels to avoid boring tasks

DONALD TRUMP IS PUSHING THE IDEA OF GOING TO WAR AGAINST OUR ALLIES AND EVERYONE IS LIKE.... OH REALLY? COME ON...WTF IS GOING ON. WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA CONDEMNING THIS??? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 🤮 🤮 O < vp trumps mouth

JANUARY 20, 2025 COUNT DOWN UNTIL THE END OF THE RUSSIAN/UKRAINE WAR 11 DAYS Donald Trump has 11 days to end the Ukraine/Russian LIKE HE PROMISED TO END BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE (if elected) **Let's hold that fuker to it 👊

That keeps ppl stupid and dumbfounded trying to absorb or dodge his craziness, outrageous and dangerous rhetoric, behavior, actions, that come from different angles all for the sake of distracting from the truth or crimes he’s committing behind doors.

Here is what we do. Focus on the plans that got him so many billionaire donors. The noise is there to distract you from the fact that he is going to shift the tax burden to the working class, give massive handouts to the wealthy and allow them to replace American workers with cheap visa workers.

I think the problem is all our lives, we've had rational people in control of the Whitehouse. Now we have someone who is completely irrational, and it's not normal, and hard to *not* react to. I feel like if I *don't* react, I'm also giving them what they want.

I think probably no matter how the opposition responds, trumpers are going to call it TDS. So, the mockery is mostly for our own morale at this point. Later, when he's in the big chair and shit gets very real, we can ask the question "had enough yet?" to all the dumbasses who voted for him.

Wait until he takes office & he & Steven Miller start to enact their Racial Purity plan. If you thought Hitler's 3rd Reich plans looked bad on paper, you ain't seen nothing yet! Kidnapping kids at the border will pale by T's Eugenics & Lebensborn plans!
