Pro tip to anyone trying to discredit this via Eichenwalt and 4chan

Eichenwalt is an idiot and a nut (650k emails don't fit on a laptop lol) and 4chan is 4chan

Eichenwald did very good work tearing down the Trump Foundation. He's just off the rails from time to time.

i thought the comparison was appropriate because:
1) trump frequently and at great length expounds on the influence his father had on him; he was in many senses the golden boy, groomed from early age for success and power. another word for golden boy is "boy king". "anointed" is another word for someone poised and groomed for success.
2) trump was elected in part thanks to supporters who create hagiographic images of him, including those of him with a halo around his head, and refer to him as a king, emperor, or god.
3) trump crassly embraces performative christianity for votes despite not apparently having any sincere engagement with faith; he is ultimately sacrilegious to an extreme. his personal brand is all about mammon, money, excess, and commercialism.
4) this is a thread about how trump likes being dunked in piss (or just watching people piss, it's unclear from context)
5) despite the fact that the real story here is Russian intelligence helping Trump's campaign and attempting to get leverage on him to manipulate him, the sensational distraction is the getting dunked in piss

the artwork piss christ is a statement about the commercialization and commodification of christianity, as well as the hysteria surrounding icons and images. this fits in very well with who trump is, as above. also it's art of jesus being dunked in piss and we don't often have threads about people getting dunked in piss.

to the extent that piss christ was read as provocative and anti-christian, i feel the comparison is directly relevant, because any christian should surely be mortified by the behaviour discussed here; which is the graver threat to christianity? a piece of art that, at worst, disrespects plastic jesus, or a living icon to everything christianity ought guard against?

i actually honestly thought the post and the parallels would be obvious

I didn't get the reference until somebody mentioned it. I'm a Christian and want Trump gone from the presidency ASAP as do the rest of my Christian friends and family. I initially took your post as a mockery of Christianity and Trump by association, but I wasn't sure so I tried to make my post unaccusatory. Thanks for clarifying.

1. Golden Boy and Boy King are two different terms. A golden boy is usually someone that is well regarded or prosperous at things they do. A boy king can either be literally a boy that is a king, implied that he was made a king without the maturity and wisdom needed of a king or an older immature person made king.

2. On the levels of propaganda those weren't that common. They were there though.

3. Jesus may have been sacrilegious to the corrupt judaic leadership, but he preached all the opposites of Trump. I get that you are trying to compare evangelical worship of Christ and their hypocrisy.

I'm more curious to see how long people can keep pretending that things like this don't matter. I foresee a big push to just brush this under the rug along with everything else.

He's trying to convince us that 650k emails couldn't fit onto a single computer? Seriously? What a dunce.

What's he using for a computer? A laptop with a 50MB hard drive?

You could fit 650k emails on some high end phones. Let alone a laptop with massively more storage.

No way Pence becomes president. Everyone involved with the Trump campaign is compromised including Pence, Bannon and Conway.

Scrooged

Totally wronger about Nintendo's business decisions.
So they just confirmed on CNN that the accusations originated from Russian operatives and given to the former MI6 member who was hired by a bi-partisan committee from the US who wanted to dig up dirt on Trump.

That doesn't make any sense. The piss stuff is part of the overall report. Are they trying to say they actively altered the report and inserted that in, but the rest is legit?
Click to expand...

The report is an amalgamation of information, so they're saying they started that rumor and it ended up the report along with the rest of the info.

It's 4chan though so chances are it's bullshit.

It's going to be investigated.

And you know what. Months from now. It could come out that Trump had no ties to Russia.

But this is why you stay in contact with the ethics committee. This is why you reveal or taxes and divest yourself from interests.

SO shit like this literally doesn't happen.

Thats how I feel. How can you trust any judgement on Trump going forth. His cabinet choices were already obviously dubious, who's to say Pence won't go head with directives.
