U.S. President Donald Trump seemingly discussed the idea of foreign powers taking out California’s most populated cities while delivering a speech at a Republican rally at the Pinnacle Bank Expo in Grand Island, Nebraska Monday evening.

    I’m glad he’s doing these things so that everyone is reminded that all of them are like this. They’re radicals. It needs to be crystal clear so that all of us know what to do.

    Ah yes, “let them take out Los Angeles,” a city that would rank as the 19th highest GDP if it was its own country. A city that alone contributes 4+% of the USA’s economic output. Great strategy, Commander in Soiled Briefs.

      Not to mention the absolute importance of Hollywood for the US status as the cultural hegemon of the West. Without US-centric entertainment, that status would never have materialized. In terms of propaganda power, there is no comparable place, not even NY comes close.

    You just know they talked about this with him. Like a false flag operation type deal. Just like with his assassination attempts.

    He just cannot keep his mouth shut about these things hoping he will be thought of as the smart one when it turns out to actually happen!!

    TRAITOR

    I mean, is this how treason works historically? It’s only widely accepted after the fact? Like, when you’re in it and actively experiencing it most people don’t acknowledge it?

    That can’t be it. People have been executed for treason. Why the fuck are we so bad at this?

        No. He won’t. Just like Viktor Orban is doing just fine (sure, some indictments and committees)

        Hakeem takes Thiel money and is secretly meeting with Jared Kushner

        The government is, functionally, occupied by foreign paid espionage agents (AIPAC) who are blackmailing the same guy they are running against.

        Maybe a couple MAGA peons will go to jail, but no one else will. Steve Mnuchin was one of the architects of the 2008 financial crisis and he got to be the last (trump) Treasury secretary.

        This is all assuming the trump dies before 2028 because he isn’t leaving while he is alive and they will milk his carcass like the turtle when he goes too. We will have an obvious AI trump president of this happens

      Yeah, what would they gain by attacking the cities trump hates.

      I’m actually worried that they are planning a false flag and because he is senile he just disclosed it.

      The Iranians are not stupid enough to remove an idiot who is ruining the US military. That is how the Allies viewed Hitler, they knew who was fucking up Germany’s war effort.

    “With the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high, it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let ‘em take out Los Angeles. Let ‘em take out San Diego,” Trump said, drawing cheers from the crowd. “This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.”

    Every time I think my faith in humanity couldn’t be shaken further, I find ways to be surprised.

      I’m not sure why some palaver from a Republican event would affect your feelings about humanity - there’s no humanity involved.

      Am I the only one who thinks that maybe he accidentally disclosed their October surprise?

      Could this government be planning something for No Kings protests on October 17th?

          The guy wants to be putin, and the administration demonstrated multiple times they have no issues with killing Americans.

          Epstein himself wrote:

          recall ive told you " i have met some very bad people " none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body… so yes- dangerous

          And fucking Epstein was a monster himself.

          Your assumption is good for judging people we don’t know, but we know him very well. During the pandemic he found a way to enrich himself. During Venezuela he bombed fishermen (never provided evidence to the accusation) so he liked innocent people only to create excuse to amass Navy in that region to do the operation. And now that dust settled all of our was to basically steal their oil.

      I’ve seen far more Talarico signs than Paxton signs around here, so I feel like there are more productive cities to threaten. That being said, there are still far too many Paxton signs, so I get it.

        Yeah, during the start of COVID, I think it was either Trump himself or his chief of staff who said that COVID was a blue state thing, basically saying that it wasn’t worth doing anything about as long as it was killing Democrats.

        I’m sure there are other examples, but that one was famous. This is just the kind of inhuman statement that you expect from Trump.
