Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post

[JustThisOnePostOnly]

Rigging social media isn't stealing an election if it's the Democrats who win because of it, is what I'm hearing here.

 

It will be interesting to see how long that holds up when the shoe is on the other foot.

 

Peace.

Off topic, but funny to me is when Trump announced he is running for president, no one questioned it and asked to see the filing or the names of his campaign committee and other requirements. 

Yes he did it before, but now much more difficult to get a campaign manager etc... 

None of those things are automatic.  So in reality, like his tax returns, no one has seen the paperwork he supposedly filed to begin another run for President...   He just goes on TV and announces it like he has the "right" to run again  5555

Doesn't mean that anti Trumpers need to post about him on as many posts as possible though. Boring reading the same hate posts over and over.

So about that...I don't seem to recall you avoiding posting about him over the last several years when he was carrying water for the Right. He's apparently running for President again too, so a candidate for President who is supported by significant numbers of his party has just stated his support for tossing parts of the Constitution in the trash. Seems newsworthy to me, just because the rats are abandoning the sinking ship doesn't mean those of us observing it can't have fun watching them trying to latch onto the flotsam.

You appear to not understand.

 

I don't visit World News ever.  That's not why I come on Asean Now.  However, the website features a section on the right of the page that is called Topics, and that will display stories from all over the site, regardless of whether or not I'm interested in the subject matter or not.

 

This is a highly controversial subject.  If you're going to drag me unwillingly into it, then I'm going to look at what other stories were posted in World News to see whether or not the site is being moderated fairly.

 

Putting a topic up about Trump calling for the "termination" the Constitution is already inflammatory given that this is not what he said, but it is especially so when you don't bother to report on the very damning evidence being released by Twitter that is context to his post and that demonstrates unequivocally how incredibly corrupt this last election was.

 

This is what he actually said.  Are we allowed to post what he actually said here or is that too inconvenient to the narrative that you're trying to sell?

In that link is exactly the same text as quoted here quite a few times before.
The solution for you is easy: anything in Topics that mentions Trump, don't read it. Because why would you want to know the truth?

Nice to see this story picked up by AN but not the story about Twitter collusion.

 

If you can't be fair in your coverage, why even have a World News section in the first place?  Such irresponsibility only throws gasoline on the fire.

So this isn't even "whataboutism" - it's whining about the LACK of whataboutism! LOL. Desperation taking hold amongst our MAGA friends.

Is that bloke from aseannow.com showing up at your place and twisting your head to force you to view the sidebar? I hate it when he shows up at my home! 

Seeing as the sidebar is on the far right of the screen, I don't think any twisting is needed to get his thoughts aimed in that direction.

There's the problem - you're trying to listen to the posts. Try reading them instead, it will be much more enlightening.

This freak is out of his mind and out of control. Always has been...and his ass-kissing base does nothing but ????. Time for this guy to disappear...permanently. 

[Hanaguma]

As I have said before: liked him as President, can't stand him as an ex-President.  I'm frankly happy when he does things like this because it will hopefully erode his base of support more quickly and let the GOP get on with choosing their 2024 candidate.

Ok got it now, so I'm dragging you into this topic or the sidebar navigation is ????

 

Well if that's the case at least read it from the beginning, that means clicking the link to the CNN website OP and discovering the full quote there already without the need to find it on archive although I note you seem to have the wherewithal to do that, so I find it hard to believe you cannot click the OP link.

So report on this evidence.  Remember to use credible sources.

Again... CNN shows their bias by leaving out the entire context... Former President Trump called for the termination of the Constitution’s rules regarding elections to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election following the release of more detailed information about Twitter’s role in suppressing a story about Hunter Biden. “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Seems you're saying the constitution should be cancelled (as per his request) as a tit for tat response to details re Hunter Biden.

 

Is that really the way the law works in the US?

Do you now look at his presidency itself in a different light? It may have seemed like some were overly concerned, before and during the Trump presidency, about what might lie ahead. The signs were clearly there though -  poor decision making, constant lies, rarely acting in good faith. Many were criticised as exaggerating Trumps lack of character and smarts but here we are.

I don't really see anything wrong in it as a comment if he truly believes there was massive corruption (I know he is as mad as a bag of frogs but pity the deranged and lock them up don't dwell on their rantings)

 

I hate Trumpy, probably more than anyone, but when I read it, I don't see him explicitly calling for the suspension of the constitution.....

 

“Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” 

 

And the media representing him as saying that EXPLICITLY are as bad as he is.

 

The same with all that bull that Elon Musk is putting out - thats also a gross over-reaction by both Elon and the media that wants to use the information for its own ends.

 

Trump was right when he was ranting that the media are corrupt (sadly he scored another own goal by his courting of FOX), its a fact we should all be aware of.

It's always risible when we see "I hate Trump but". It's like trying to confuse people into thinking your unbiased.

 

When does "truly believe" stop? Is 60 lost court cases somehow not enough?

It does seem like most non-Americans who support Trump are more white nationalist than their American counterparts.  So I'm sorry your President is not white nationalist enough for you.  Probably a good thing.

I am unbiased, thats the point.

 

I agree with your second sentence but thats our opinion, the speaker of the words (Trump) has a different opinion. He is entitled to that opinion, just as you are entitled to your opinion that I am biased.

There has to come a time when the "opinion" is devoid of basis and then it just becomes delusion.

You don't think this is inciting his followers to carry on the big lie?

 

“Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

 

He has no basis or evidence to state this, it pure and simple a conspiracy theory

You honestly think Trump is/was a white nationalist? The guy who lets his daughter marry a Jew, convert to Judaism, have Jewish grandchildren, and STILL employs her Jewish husband in the White House? The guy who signs one of the most important pieces of criminal justice reform legislation for African Americans (sentencing reform) in years? Who restored funding taken from Historically Black Colleges and Universities?

 

Yeah- THAT White Nationalist....

No, not really. I knew he was a BS artist before he was elected. Hell, he was a builder from New York City- what did you expect? Perhaps his one failing that grew unexpectedly was his absolute hatred of being seen as a "loser". IMHO that began to cloud his decision making more and more as time went on.

It used to be widely said that you don't have to be a racist to support Trump but all racists did. I don't believe that anymore. There is plenty of scope for non racist Republicans to condemn Trump but very few do, just as he himself refuses to condemn Nazis like West and Fuentes.

[Thailand]

Even from the man who recommended that those on Twitter should vote for the Republicans in the mid-terms.

"Elon Musk says Constitution is greater than any president"

[Lacessit]

Trump will say anything to stay in the spotlight and keep the funds rolling in. Heaven knows he needs it to pay his lawyers, who won't work unless paid up front. Given the number of lawsuits he is fighting, he needs every cent he can raise from his gulls.

Yes, we do. Please revisit the opinions of the 60-ish lawsuits filed post 2020. Is it your opinion that these judges, many republican ant 45 nominated, were ALL wrong and that they missed a GIANT, obvious theft right under their noses with all the evidence 45 could muster in front of them?
