Did "Special Forces" raid a CIA facility in Frankfurt?

Trump doesn’t have a lot of imagination. When he attacks his opponents, he just accuses them of doing whatever it is he’s been doing.

Quite. And well said overall.

It’s also a form of pre-emptive bothsides-ism. Any accusation coming back at him can be deflected as pot calling kettle black.

I was just riffing on your joke about Germany’s electoral votes.

Yes, it’s entirely fiction. Every syllable.

I’m even beginning to doubt the existence of Frankfurt, and I’ve been to Frankfurt.

I am often surprised how utterly inept and gullible Trump fans are. I really have to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.

From DMC’s link:

The false claims followed a Zoom call this week that featured Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, suggesting that “U.S. Army forces” had seized servers from a Frankfurt office of the software company Scytl.

I think the involvement on Louie Gohmert is all that needs to be said.

I’m just trying to figure out what I can sell them and still face myself in the mirror.

He thinks everyone is as corrupt as he is. BUT it’s not corruption in his ‘mind’, it’s his “business model”. Always has been. “The Art of the Steal” SOP.

I don’t think Trump sees corruption as being wrong. I’ve made the comparison before to how Trump cheats at golf. He just sees these things as the perks of his power. He feels that doing things like stealing money, assaulting women, giving his children jobs, and lying about his golf score are the kinds of things he is entitled to do as a powerful man. It’s his right as king.

So when other people do these same thing, Trump gets mad. Not because they’re doing these things; Trump does them himself. He gets mad because they are challenging him by claiming his privileges. When somebody else cheats at golf, they are claiming they are as powerful as Trump is and should have the same rights he has.

But really, is stealing from evil people even a sin?

Hell, I lived in Frankfurt for four years and I’m beginning to think it may have all been a dream. Maybe they meant Frankfurt, KY?

As opposed to Frankfort KY?

We have it from none other than Military-dot-com:

Army Hits Back Against False Claim that Soldiers Died in CIA Op to Nab...

Nobody died in the secret mission, and said secret mission didn’t happen. The 305th is an entry-level training unit, where new soldiers go fresh out of boot camp until they can begin training for whatever their specialty will be.

Look at the things he said about Biden. That he’s too old. That he sexually assaults women. That he can’t speak coherently. That he practices nepotism. That his hair is fake. That he takes foreign help to get elected. Who does that sound like?

(bolding mine) Do you think Trump knows that he can’t speak coherently? My impression is that, since crowds cheer him at his rallies, he thinks he’s a great speaker.

I’d start by selling them the mirror. Two birds, one stone.

If Trump’s being eating hot dogs, maybe we’re talking about Frankfart.

I’m pretty sure he knows he’s stumbled over some words. A lot of this might not be things he is consciously aware of.

Alternatively, Trump’s repertoire of insults may include the things that people have said about him and hurt his feelings.

I agree. I think the one subject Trump pays attention to is when people are talking about Donald Trump, even if it’s negative.

If you tell me that Giuliani was always an asshole, well, I can believe that. But the Giuliani of 9/11 was at least a competent asshole. What happened to all of that competence?

[enipla]

There is no middle ground. You either adore him, or you get attacked by him. There is NO compromise, nothing is ever left on the table.

I just started reading Mary Trumps book about what a mess he is. And, well, I’m a bit ashamed to say I actually have a bit empathy and feel sorry for how fucked up he is. I feel the same for rabid dogs.
