Trump's corruption; factionalism and theism

+innit 13:39:17
I am proud of myself.
Before Trump took the Oath of Office, I recommend Obama not allow him to become president by violating the US Constitution, potentially, to redo the 2016 election...
It feels like that recommendation already looks very wise, and will continue to look even better as time progresses.

After four more years of trump?
There may not be an America in which to run for president left.

Biden is done
+innit 13:41:25
The data indicates Trump cannot beat the Democrat nominee, assuming a fair election.
This includes Biden, who is probably the weakest option.

Trump will have nothing left to lose after a second term.
+innit 13:42:23
He currently has nothing to lose.
He will be indicted and then die in prison once he stops being president.
+MadCatX 13:42:34
I mean if Trump is actually removed from office and banned from running is 2020
+Slugs 13:42:36
Trump has nothing to lose right now, even if he survives the next year or so

 Did Biden drop out?
+Slugs 13:42:43
he's a fucking criminal
+AutoPirate 13:43:03
It’s too soon and too late to remove trump from running again.
+innit 13:43:26
Trump can be indicted any day.
+Slugs 13:43:28
mme guillotine doesn't care though, so maybe that's our next step
let the heads roll

We just need a prosecutor to have the courage to violate a memo from the DOJ.
Which is not legally binding...
+AutoPirate 13:43:46
Like I said, the house hasn’t even had a formal vote on the impeachment process yet.
+innit 13:44:02
Then, courts will resolve the issue of whether that memo is a correct interpretation of the Constitution.
(It isn't.)

You're overdue for a second republic
+AutoPirate 13:44:22
These things take time, even so Clinton survived impeachment, trump might also.
+innit 13:44:48
Slugs: There's so much corruption right now it feels like a second republic would be a disaster.
We probably need more crisis before that would work.

As bad as it currently is, it can and will get much worse unless there's a major course correction.
Trumpism appears to end in death camps.
Everything I can observe about it tells me that is true.
Trumpism is a cult built of profound beliefs in betrayal and attacks against the white people.
This is the *primary* underlying motive of Trumpism.

no barabbas`, he just isn't being rated the #1 Democratic candidate now - Warren is, Biden #2

If it's allowed to fully express itself, it will put those 'enemies' into camps and then humiliate them, beat them, rape them, and murder htem.
+innit 13:48:33
Trump supporters have very low empathy, low emotional intelligence (citation available) and its leaders show no respect of 'legal systems' in the traditional, modern sense.
The goal of legal systems in modernity is to bind everybody, and empower everybody.

Wrong channel
+innit 13:49:09
Right-wing people want legal systems to bind only their enemies and only empower themselves.

“Everything that he’s done has been nothing but trying to take this president out,” he said. “I believe that God had had enough, and God moved.”

Detective Rust Cohle : Oh yeah! Been that way since one monkey looked at the sun and told the other monkey, "He said for you to give me your fucking share." People... so god damn frail they'd rather put a coin in the wishing well than buy dinner.
That explains the entirety of Chris McDonald's view.
Factionalism is one of the primary modalities of human life (and beyond), due to underlying game theory dynamics of evolutionary systems.
One way to try and win the factional game is to posit a being outside the factional system, as they're outside The Game, or The Earth, or The Universe, which is for our faction.
This strongly activates human psychology to rally for their flag, and perform genocide against rivals.

We could describe the above as Factional Presuppositionalism

Typical Presuppositionalism attempts to root itself into the base of truth, but that's in a post-Greek, post-Enlightenment worldview in which Truth is the most powerful entity in our ontology.
+chumpchange 13:57:45
lol
+innit 13:58:19
You could argue Presuppositionalism is actually an admission of defeat by basal Christianity to the dominance of those philosophical, evidence-based worldviews.
+innit 13:59:22
I might argue that Factional Presuppositionalism is more honest, in that it dispenses with the idea there is truth beyond faction, asserts and confirms all life is just factions warring -- as the Soviets and Russians believes -- and then tries to root itself at the heart of that game with its extrafactional being.
