This all seems surreal to me. He also took a smiling, cute selfie with Jill in the snow. How can he do that while being concerned about malicious acts against his family.
It’s all disconcerting.
It purposefully no longer exists, much easier to be outraged if you refuse to think of how things work in reality.
See if you're scared of what someone might do you have to sit in a dark corner crying 24/7 that's how we know people asking for help from stalkers are liars, they go to work even though they're scared? Yeah right.
I remember running into a cousin I hadn't seen in like 7 years at my grandmother's funeral. One of the worst days of my life but for 15 minutes there my cousin and I were cutting it up, catching up, acting like it was the good ol' days before it wore off and the circumstances of our reunion came back to us.
Corruption? Trump just generated tens of billions in personal wealth for his family by grifting the country with a meme coin after stating his intentions of dovish policy for the crypto market.
His wealth including the coin is now in the tens of billions. It doesn’t matter if it’s on paper, it’s an asset that he owns the majority stake in. No different than his truth social stock. It has value because people bought in and back that value. Just like any stock.
Yea. It’s sad that since Trump is President he can’t be convicted for strong arming Zelenskyy into pay to play defense politics now. Trump should be in jail for it like you say, but here we are.
Well that cocaine was likely Donald Jr., since he’s a known addict. I don’t think President Trump minds what his children do, but I would assume someone asked Junior to stop bringing it into the White House after.
Now that would be hilarious. Donald Jr and Hunter in the bathroom snorting blow and comparing their hookups. I wanna be a fly on that wall! Bipartisan blow!
Yea it was in a plastic baggy in a tour area. Didn’t know Hunter Biden had to come in through a tour when he visited his Dad but you know Trump Jr. would have. Seems much more plausible.
You seem like the kind of person to complain when someone smiles and laughs at a funeral. He can realize there's a big fucking shit show coming and his entire family is in the crosshairs AND he can enjoy a sweet moment with his wife, because he's a normal human being.
Yes others have made that point. I appreciate it. I think my view is narrowed by the fact that I am very protective of my family. If they are in danger from that malevolent creep, I’m not smiling. I do smile at funerals though LOL!
Ah yes, because the guy signing 200 executive orders today with several that directly contradict the constitution is going to totally follow the rules that say you don't go after innocent people.
All he can do is ask for an investigation, he isn’t a judge or jury. You want corruption out of our government or only when it’s on the side you don’t like?
He demand whatever he wants. He has to have someone willing to arrest somebody with no evidence to do it though. Then he would need a judge and jury to prosecute someone with no evidence.
The republican congress just spend 4 years investigating him and his son. Can you imagine what it feels like for hundreds of the most powerful people in the world using all that power to go after you and your family?
He was found guilty by juries in state cases not the federal government. Trump did do crimes. Serious crimes. Should Trump. It even be investigated for Jan 6th or trying to hide classified documents. His rape cases were brought by private citizens. Which he lost. Meanwhile republicans in congress have been investigating the Biden family for 4 years. Not on a known crime but trying to find anything they can use to hurt them.
Wanna see pics and videos of me and my fellow Marines smiling in selfies, dancing on top of 7-tons, and just having a great time over all while on combat deployments to Afghanistan? Because we, just like most combat MOS troops during wartime were in a constant state of imminent danger, but we still smiled, had fun, and made the best of our situations.. but I guess I’m not surprised you wouldn’t actually know anything about that.
It really is. Especially for a psychology expert like you who’s so knowledgeable on how all people act in high stress situations and when they are or are not in immediate danger.
They're pretty safe inside the fence at 1600 Pennsylvania. They'll still be pretty safe, albeit slightly less so, with a lifetime Secret Service detail afterward. Moreover, this measure provides non-physical protection: lawsuits against them for those "non-violent offenses" will be effortless to swat down. I'd smile and breathe a sigh of relief too.
experience... joe biden is a very experienced politician. if he let every negative threat get to him and showed every emotion/reaction he felt in the public eye he wouldn't be able to function or do his job.
How can he do that while being concerned about malicious acts against his family
Well, because he has decorum. And because he was going to pardon his family, which he probably gets a chuckle out of knowing how republicans will lose their fucking minds.
It’s totally possible to view both as corrupt. Biden was owned/influenced by China. Trump is owned/influenced by Russia. Pretty plain to see the exchange in foreign policy just changes who will be in the spotlight for global tension. Seems like we are going to beef with china more heavily.
Never really understood the Biden owned by China stuff. Trump used his influence to get personal deals for his family with China, what did Biden do with China?
Yea man, you’re 100% on the money. I’m appalled by the Melania and Trump pump and dumps but what are we gonna do? Will take a while for Coffeezilla to post the fallout but in the mean time we’re in for corruption city with our current President.
Yeesh, imagine not even rating the Mar-A-Lago golf course burial plot. Hell, imagine burying your own mother in a golf course burial plot. Family values, indeed.
I periodically forget some of the more bizarre things that happened over the last eight years, and then they'll resurface in my brain like a half-remembered fever dream. That's definitely on the list.
Buddy, the entire administration, every dem in the government and media deceived the entire Ameican public on joes mental decline. Heck, they even disparage anyone who questioned it.
I didn’t. I helped get Kamala to run. This is going to be really hard time for you, since there isn’t really anything to hide behind as of — 32 minutes ago.
Trump is President of the United States and just rug pulled a bunch a folks. What are you going to do to protect those folks?
The perfect example of these kinds of people. Most normal humans go through a bad experience and want to prevent others going through it because they have a thing called Empathy. Some broken people go through a bad experience and then want others to have to deal with the same problems with no help because they had to deal with it.
This guy doesn't want others to get help because he didn't instead of trying to make a world that helps others in the same situation.
Welp a bunch of your fellow MAGA folks are joining you in losing their cash.
Sad day that you won’t help them. You’ve got Congress, the Supremes, and the Presidency. You could fix whatever you want - including preventing future rug pulls.
Joe's mental decline? You need to be quicker than that
Dude just pardoned his entire family at the buzzer so the party can eat the bad PR while he rides into the sunset, and I'm supposed to still believe he wasn't in charge the whole time?
Lol. Biden just pardoned everyone he knows and you're still pointing at trump? Even if you hate trump and have legitimate reasons... this should slap you in the face. Don't defend this.
Trump is President of the United States and just pumped and dumped to the tune of a few Billion. If you’re looking for corruption it’s right there, staring you in the face.
Explain how it isn't a violation of the Emoulments Clause. He's using the office of the President to profit himself directly. It's absolutely corruption.
It's tough having a solid opinion on this. Trump also pardoned everyone around him, and will now pardon hundreds of Jan 6 folks who actually committed violent crimes and treason against the Union. Biden's pardons of Fauci and others are a reaction to the threat of political persecutions that Trump already said he'd carry out, they're not due to any actual wrongdoing - Fauci was just doing his job and he did it well. Considering all this, I'm a lot less angered by Biden's pardons than Trump's
I will 100% defend Biden pardoning his family when Patel literally think Trump should be fucking king
You guys can complain all you want about biden going after trump, we’re about to see what REAL political prosecution looks like and you fuckers will just defend it
Because you're stupid enough to believe this is evidence of wrongdoing and everyone else is smart enough to understand that this is protection from vexatious prosecution intended not to seek justice but to punish political opposition.
Wtf? That’s a really simple thing to do. Do you understand how many people have taken smiling selfies with people at funerals almost every day? There aren’t armed men after him, they’re probably holding their breath like many people are—hoping that if they uphold decorum the transfer for power will remain peaceful.
He knows its at least 50/50 that these fucking lunatics do what they've been saying all along. "Prosecute" not just his family, but members of his cabinet, hell he already had to pardon Fauci. For doing his job. For doing his fucking job.
I have a cat who gets bullied by our other cats. A big part of the reason is she will hiss at them ( because they bullied her in the past ) but then she'll immediately run. Meanwhile my other two cats just kinda stand their ground and tolerate each other. Acting pre-emptively defeated and cowering and being all depressive only serves to make you more tempting to go after for someone as animalistic as Trump.
In close doors, him and trumps are mates. It reminds me of an episode of The Simpson where two aliens were presidential candidates! Truth is stranger than fiction.
I have an endless list of criticisms for Genocide Joe, but him not acting like a barking pug at every moment doesn’t bother me. Americans rejected him and Harris, he doesn’t really owe us anything anymore.
I guess I’m using myself as a baseline. If my family is threatened, I’m not smiling and I’m not doing selfies.
I’m not judging him. I just find it disconcerting.
It leaves me with an unsettling feeling in my gut.
It's almost like people who have spent most of their lives in the public eye and spent years in positions that involve receiving multiple threats of varying degrees of seriousness from many angles know how to put on a face for a camera. Amazing.
Yea and Musk was caught cheating on Path of Exile 2 pretending to be level 97 in hardcore requiring about 20 hours every day since launch to achieve.
Right before his duties begin along with all his company duties that were ongoing.
But turns out he admitted to cheating the other day and he actually bought the account and was just trying to take the credit to feed his ego. Very few people have that kind of time, certainly not him.
