You can keep arguing with yourself to feel good about your worship to a chronic sex offender and pdf.

You are actively defending a sex offender and felon in real time. You’re complaining about Platner that has been kicked out and condemned while holding on to Trump. I wonder how you cope with yourself.

You're scrambling to pull others into the debased mud you’re in.

Deal with yourself.
No, I am not complaining about Platner. If your friends and you don't care that Platner has a Nazi tattoo and you are okay to hold your nose and vote for him as he is being accused of sexual abuse, then you have no leg to stand when you said Trump is a sexual abuser or a nazi because you don't care about all that, you just hate Trump.

Also, I will believe Trump sexually abuse Jean if you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that it happened.

Trump is a felon for what? Did he kill someone?
The thing is, all this stuff was put out there to try to stop him, and Americans chose over kamala. The see through the faux outrage from people who will hold their nose to vote a nazi, felon, sexual abuser as long as he is a democrat.

If someone told you that Raumdeuter never went to college, reading his posts here, would you disbelieve?

This is what I would expect from someone with one tooth, driving a pickup truck spewing exhaust smoke with a huge Donald Trump flag on the back.

Never any understanding of what is happening or the argument they are making.
They just yell Freedom and America enough and they think they've said something meaningful.
These are the same people that elected Bush because he would keep us out of wars, but got us into the Afghanistan war, then elected Trump who again claimed he would never get us into war, then got us into the Iran war.
Like sheep to the slaughter.
They forgot this story line of making America safer when their god was chanting no more wars and condemning his predecessors.. only for them to align with “let’s fight wars” because they just can’t stop worshipping a maniac.

And till date objectives of the war has not been met..

Campaign promise:
1. Make life affordable for Americans
2. No more wars. America first.

Execution phase:
1. Inflation, job losses, hike in oil price, Medicare gutted from many Americans, DOGE cuts on critical studies & American jobs, low income for average Americans, affordability in the negative etc

2. Fight multiple wars.
Declare an unpopular with Iran..
threaten Greenland…
Invade Venezuela..
lookahead for Cuba invasion.

Keep asking me rotten questions about your god..

He is a convicted felon and a confirmed sex offender.. with receipts all over the place. But like an obstinate pharoah you choose to support such a vile human being helplessly.

It’s your choice to keep worshipping him. Not mine..

You can keep rotating that’s your business..

Madness and insanity is when benalvino3 is dragging me for condemning Platner for allegations (the moment I knew who the human being was) of sexual harassment, but dancing and singing praises day and night to a sex offender who has actually been held culpable and has recently paid millions of dollars as fine for his offense.

Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by cococandy(f): 9:11pm On Aug 12
Is this the high morale they speak of?


Trump does not give a Bleep about our service members. He’s pretty much shown that since day one. Only stupid people (his followers) believe he cares anything about anyone but himself.

Now Imagine being a service member stuck on a floating tin can for months on end with no end in sight fighting an on and off again war for the sake of some rich people wanting to manipulate stock markets. It’s enough to drive anyone insane.

This is the literal worst administration in the history of America. I hope they remain cursed for eternity

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/12/uss-abraham-lincoln-overboard-extended-deployment

Military families and Congress members are sounding the alarm about an intensifying mental health crisis onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, as its 5,000 sailors and marines endure a record-breaking deployment at sea tied to the war with Iran.

Two leading specialist military papers, the Navy Times and the Stars and Stripes, are reporting that there have been multiple attempts by sailors to jump overboard as poor conditions and mental stresses on the Lincoln reach breaking point. The crew is in its ninth month at sea, and has spent 250 days consecutively without making land – a record for an aircraft carrier in modern times

This kind of stuff is why the opinion of Israel is changing in the US.

Father Bashar Fawadleh, the parish priest of Christ the Redeemer Church in Taybeh, said: “The declaration of Taybeh as a closed military zone for non-resident Israelis may be a positive step if it is genuinely and consistently enforced to prevent settlers from entering our lands and carrying out further attacks.

“What matters to us, however, is not the announcement itself, but what happens on the ground in the coming days and weeks.

“For months, our community has experienced repeated incursions into private and agricultural lands, intimidation of families and workers, fires, armed presence, the entry of settlers and their livestock onto private property and attempts to establish a permanent presence around the village.

“These incidents have created fear and are threatening the normal life and future of our Christian
community.”https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/08/12/israeli-army-surrounds-last-christian-town-in-west-bank/

That’s not when you first knew about Platner.
We had been discussing him and the allegations for about three months, and you saw those conversations.

You only suddenly acknowledged the issue after Democrats finally dropped him, and even then your response was “See, Democrats saw a sexual abuser and dropped him, while Republicans still support Trump.”

So even your condemnation of Platner was still primarily being used as a jab at Republicans.

That’s why your claim that you condemned him “the moment you knew who the human being was” does not fly with what happened here.

You had plenty of opportunity to condemn the Nazi image and sexual-harassment allegations before Democrats abandoned him.

So, if Democrats had continued supporting Platner, would you have shown the same outrage?

Because from your posting pattern, it only became important enough to mention once Democrats themselves turned against him.

Democrats dropped Platner.

Republicans didnt drop Trump.

That in itself should keep you quiet on the matter. But no, MAGA cult must twist and turn to defend Trump, even in hypocrisy...

It’s a waste of time engaging him on the matter..

Total waste.. if he had any modicum of shame he won’t be responding anymore..

This is the party that claims they are Christians with wonderful family values.. see them..

Dems did not discover the Platner issues and immediately say, “This man is unacceptable.”

They knew about the Nazi-symbol tattoo, his offensive Reddit history and his comments dismissive of sexual assault months before the primary.

Yet they continued supporting him, Democrat voters nominated him, and kept making excuses for him.

He actually won the Democratic nomination on June 9 with all that baggage already public. It was only when the polls started looking bad they were forced to drop him.

So spare me the “Democrats dropped Platner” crap as though Democrats saw the earlier controversies and immediately principled standing on the matter.

They tolerated plenty until the situation became politically impossible to defend.

And that is exactly my point about Bayelsaowei. He knew about the Platner controversies while Democrats were still defending and supporting him, yet Platner suddenly became useful to him only when he could say, “See, Democrats dropped theirs, unlike Republicans.”

If your outrage over sexual misconduct only becomes loud when there is an R beside the person’s name or when your own side has finally abandoned its candidate then maybe the principle was never the main issue.

It is not a waste to call out hypocrisy.
Trump asked him to drop out, saying it was not looking good for him. He refused. Trump then asked the Republicans to back off and let the voters decide.

That's not an endorsement. If the guy refused to back off, there is nothing they can do. So let the voters decide.

Take some time, get your emotions under control and read what you are actually writing.
It's like you bang words on your keyboard and think they make any sense.

My father is a card-carrying Republican who voted for Trump, just like you.
My siblings and I generally want little to do with him, just as I'm sure that your wife and children want little to do with you.

How can anyone be proud of a husband and father who worships a man who hates what his family is(immigrants, Nigerians and black people)?
No wonder you spend so much time on this forum, everyone in your real life probably de.-spises you.
And then look at the people who can stand you and you surround yourself with on this forum the basket of deplo.-rables themselves (Basilico and Bemeruca). Talk about someone being a los.-er.

Oga, go fix your life.

Look at these countries GDP before the god you worship decided to remove their leaders and install hard core jihadists instead. Peaceful countries whose economies were growing suddenly became warzones because of a narcissist charlatan. Millions dead ,millions displaced yet you are mouthing off 15 soldiers , casualties oif a necessary just war to free millions of brutalized Iranians.

They won’t know if someone has a heart condition or a pacemaker, they won’t know if someone is prone to seizures, they won’t know and they don’t care who this is safe to use on. And if you die in the process, oh well you’re just brown. Your life never mattered in the first place. Funny how there’s never money for things that are good for the people. But they will always find the money for cruelty.

Wonder which of Trump’s family members has stakes in the company making these.

ICE's New Electric Shock Gloves. ICE plans to spend up to $20 million on thousands of gloves that shock people into submission. They work like ordinary patrol gloves until an agent presses a hidden switch. Direct contact with skin delivers sharp electrical pain. The manufacturer says most people comply within three seconds-without burns, scars or visible marks. The company warns against using them on children, pregnant women, the elderly or disabled. ICE expects to award the contract without competition. Civil-rights advocates warn the gloves could let agents inflict severe pain almost invisibly.

With their supplies obtained for free through fraudulent SNAP benefits, they prepared and then sold menu items at El Primo Restaurant at a complete profit, later wiring the fraud proceeds, among other places, to individuals living in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic," the Justice Department said

If they was working 20 hours theh wouldn't have stolen all that
I was asking about Medicare and Medicaid, not food stamps.

As an electrical engineer,The glove uses a small battery say 3.7V . It steps up the voltages to say above 200V using electronic circuitry . The output should be in pulses ,kinda like the shock from defibrillator paddles so that it doesn't disrupt the body nerve electronic impulses.
It must also be insulated and hardened to weather environmental conditions.
Genius idea .Great piece of engineering.

Tasers also deliver an electric shock but the principles are different.
