Another important fact is that the President cannot pardon State charges or convictions (a future governor may be able to, not sure about MN law).

Typical Woke response, using facts to take away from the accomplishment of the greatest president in American history.

Slandering the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize and current holder of the Nobel Peace Prize medal is shameful. Does the FIFA Peace Prize mean nothing to you?!

It isn’t a scandal to be associated with a sex offender in general.

It is a scandal to be associated with the guy who appears to be a major player in black market sex trafficking, arms dealing, power trading and blackmail. Epstein appears to be a central player who traded in back channel access to the richest and highest placed people on the planet and he used his sex trafficking ring to entice and compromise multiple high ranking officials.

He was the very essence of corruption and he is one guy in a group of people (many of whom are still living) who have benefited from this power and sex trafficking network.

Anyone associated with him is automatically suspect, you don’t accidentally meet people like this.

On top of that, Lutnick telling blatant lies in an attempt to distance himself from Epstein isn’t the actions of a person who was operating above board.

That line made it 100% clear to me that she was operating in bad faith. Nobody is that ignorant, much less a politician with decades of experience.

The PEOC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Emergency_Operations_Center)has existed under the East Wing since WWII.

I’m sure they’ll do work on it (especially if Trump can get a kickback for giving the contract to a corrupt contractor) but it isn’t a new addition.

There are no promises that you can extract that they won’t immediately violate as soon as they get the money.

Leave it shut down until the new congress can completely remake it.

That’s it kids, we’re going to Neverland Ranch this year instead!

Gosh, I hope I can survive the reputation harm that I’m suffering because a faceless person(?) on the Internet has read my comments in bad faith and slaughtering their freshly created strawmen.

Haha pointing out the wrong[…]

“Haha, pointing”

I hadn’t heard of him until today, but his messaging is on point and he isn’t shying away from the populist messaging.

Having someone who has the ability to inspire is a pretty powerful skill. Obama is another good example, his experience as a professor provides similar rhetorical skills.

I mean, there’s also some dangerous examples of charismatic populists in history… but I don’t read this guy as being cynically manipulative (though, I can be fooled like anyone else).

I think the Church is one of the few institutions that culturally values good rhetorical techniques.

They’re all reading the same book, so the people that stand out are the ones who are expert public speakers and understand how to invoke feelings instead of just delivering a written message.

His style of speech screams ‘pastor’ to people who grew up in churches and for a lot of Texans that’s very compelling.

He’s played well with rural Floridians.

There’s a lot of Christians who hate that their faith is being twisted to promote a political agenda that doesn’t fit what they learn in church. They’re not as loud and strident as the hardcore culture warrior MAGA so they’re not as visible in social media, but they certainly exist in large numbers.

Having a person with impeccable Christian bona fides who’s policies are more of a match to Christian teachings while also taking the populist position that Trump exploited.

Like Mamdani, we can see the populist messaging on the left is massively effective even in the face of corporate media and social media botted viewpoints being pushed.

I see what you’re talking about and I think that is because he’s a veteran politician and knows the kinds of questions that will be asked so of course his answers are polished.

I also think a bit of that is because he’s a ‘real’ christian, as in he practices the teachings of Jesus, goes to church, etc. There’s a certain cadence and style of speaking amongst seminarians that fits well into a church setting and politics (preaching to an audience that agrees with you).

He’s a bit more off the cuff in other interviews that I’ve seen (including on some YT show where he’s talking with a bunch of undecided voters).

I think we’re just too used to politicians who speak like they’re reading off of teleprompters and less used to people who can improvise effective speech without speechwriters and consultants.

It’s not like he has a hard job he’s spreading the populist message that was so effective with MAGA under Trump: “The world is fucked up, the rich elites are at fault due to owning the government and only using it to enrich themselves” It’s a safe message that resonates, he fits the profile of a stereotypical rural Texan and doesn’t accept large donors (a fact that will separate him from Jasmine Crockett).

The topic of the thread is about users migrating away from Discord due to privacy concerns over their ID requirements. If this doesn’t apply to you, what is your purpose commenting? To tell us all that the thing in the OP isn’t actually happening?

Your position is that:

• this can’t happen,
• people can’t leave discord because people are on discord,
• it’s impossible to learn 3 applications,

Therefore nobody would replace Discord with Teamspeak and also use some other chat program (that’s 2 programs! which is nearly as impossible as learning 3 programs!).

You’re posting this opinion in a thread about users migrating to TeamSpeak and calling me the idiot?

That’s certainly an opinion.

Your a fucking delusional idiot.

‘Your’ is the possessive form of you.

You’re is the word you’re looking for, as it is a contraction of ‘you are’ as in ‘you are an idiot’.
