Is all the bullshit that Trump does now just to cover up for his pedophilia getting exposed?

This is the kind of article where the headline is not enough and posting a paywalled article without a readable archive link should be a bannable offense. If archive.is cant even access it, then maybe find a better source.

(It can not... https://archive.is/NCGAU)

Here, have a function article:

Its because Trump is trying to hand the entire artic to Putin.

INFILTRATING A COUNTRY. Isn't this a tactic Putin used in Crimea and to some extent in Ukraine? Wonder if the weak, old, confused, orange pedophile, rapist, felon gets all his ideas from Putin.

It's not like it's a new idea.

Nazis had a whole department whose job was to subvert the countries they wanted to invade.

imho 99% of the posts you see saying "both sides are the same" are paid for by the GOP who want Leftists to stay home on election day.

Orders, not ideas.

About time Greenland gave those illegal aliens the literal ICE treatment

[–] Chill_Dan@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (6 children)

I assumed the Greenland stuff was for a media diversion, not for real.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

Why not both?

Here's a fun thought exercise for you: Now that they've built a concentration camp at home, and are seemingly attempting to start yet another war we have no business being in; how long do you think will it take before they use the pretext of being anti-war (with Denmark, Venezuela, whoever) as a reason to round up dissidents and send them to said concentration camp for "subversive activities to the war effort"? Then you don't even need the victims to be brown or undocumented.

Bonus: Ever notice they built open-air cages in the middle of Florida, where hurricanes regularly sweep through, and also gutted NOAA funding? What do you think will happen when the first hurricane comes through with no warnings?

And the alligators take care of the bodies. Eichmann would call it wonderfully efficient, not to mention having such excellent plausible deniability. "Oops, we didn't have any warning! Shame about all those people we wanted to be rid of!"

we're so thoroughly fucked it's not even funny.

The problem with the "this is all to cover up for Epstein" line is that it really diminishes how much of an actual threat Trump and his oligarch administration really is to everybody.

He is doing all this because he wants to, it is real, and it is not to cover up for anything. Without Epstein he would still be doing all this.

The fact that his avalanche of crimes does slightly cover up for Epstein is just his MO working as designed.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

This. "It's just a coverup" gives him more credit than he needs. He doesn't need to cover things up because he doesn't think he did anything wrong. He doesn't need to distract because he thinks you're dumb as rocks and he can just bully you into shutting up about it. He's doing all these things because he wants to, because it makes him happy, and that's all that needs to be said.

He's also sending ships out to South American waters. Trumps itching for a war with anyone.

[–] FlordaMan@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

Gotta have a backup distraction plans for when the Epstein files leak.
