You Will Anyway: Hmmmm

Hmmmm

Days after he claimed he had “every right” to interfere with the 2020 presidential election results, Donald Trump admits that he “lost by a whisker.”

[...]

His interview on [Lex] Fridman’s podcast is his latest in a string of unconfrontational appearances on shows hosted by popular YouTubers, right-wing influencers and streamers who appeal to young men and boys.

Trump recently appeared on streams hosted by Logan Paul, the Nelk Boys and Adin Ross — who gifted Trump a Rolex and a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in a photograph of his assassination attempt...

What?

... — as well as comedian Theo Von.

I must admit I have never heard of any of these people. I guess because I don't travel in conspiracy or Nazi circles.

“So I’ve done a lot of debating, only as a politician. I never debated. My first debate was the Rosie O’Donnell debate, right? The famous Rosie O’Donnell Debate. The answer,” Trump said.

Yeah, I know Rosie O'Donnell, but I don't know of any famous debate.

He was apparently referring to the August 2015 presidential primary debate, when moderator Megyn Kelly teed up a question to Trump saying “you called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals.” (Trump cut her off and said “only Rosie O’Donnell.”)

I do remember that disgusting bit.

“But I’ve done well with debates,” Trump told Fridman. “I became president, and then the second time I got millions more votes than I got the first time. I was told if I got 63 million … you would win. You can’t not win. And I got millions of more votes than that and lost by a whisker but— and look at what happened with the world.”

We have looked. And that's why we're voting for Kamala Harris.

Now go tell his rabid rabble rousers he admits he lost, so they can too.

He accused immigrants of “taking seats of people who are citizens of our country.”

I guess there was enough backlash that he decided to stop saying "black jobs". Or at least this time.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 09/05/2024:

Question 2: Will you apologize for claiming the election was stolen for the past four years?

Question 3: Will you tell your followers to stand down because you did actually lose?

UPDATE 10/03/2024: Now he's back to saying he won in 2020.

"It takes only a bit of knowledge of history to realize how dangerous it is to think that the people who run the country know what they are doing." -- Howard Zinn

"It’s not about not having something to hide; it’s about having something to lose. What we lose when we’re under observation is our humanity...Rights are inherent to our nature, they’re not granted by governments, they’re guaranteed by governments. They’re protected by governments." -- Edward Snowden

"Terrorism is the willingness to kill large numbers of people for some presumably good cause.” -- Howard Zinn

"What we have is a foreign policy which is essentially a marketing strategy for selling weapons." -- Jill Stein

"We should always remember that the danger to societies from security services is not that they will spontaneously decide to embrace [Stasi style] mustache twirling and jackboots to bear us bodily into dark places, but that the slowly shifting foundation of policy will make it such that mustaches and jackboots are discovered to prove an operational advantage toward a necessary purpose.” ~ Edward Snowden

"America: just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." ~ Hunter S. Thompson

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." ~ Mayer Rothschild

"News is what somebody does not want you to print. All the rest is advertising." ~ LACUNA

"What matters in journalism isn't politics, which are as universal and inescapable as breathing. What matters -- along with a fundamentally adversarial attitude toward government, without which "journalism" is simply public relations -- is integrity, transparency, evidence, coherence, and principle. These are the principles on which we should evaluate the quality of journalism, and their absence is why some journalists are so desperate to get you to focus on something else." ~ Barry Eisler

"There is no inverse relationship between freedom and security. Less of one does not lead to more of the other. People with no rights are not safe from terrorist attack." ~ Molly Ivins

"The brain of our species is, as we know, made up largely of potassium, phosphorus, propaganda, and politics, with the result that how not to understand what should be clearer is becoming easier and easier for all of us." ~ James Thurber

"The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plane....When you hold up your arm and swear to uphold the Constitution, you don’t say, 'Except in wartime.'" -- George McGovern

"I’ll believe that corporations are people when Texas executes one." ~ Bill Moyers

"When did hope become a political dynamic? Hope is right below wishful thinking and right above performing a rain dance on the scale of activity." ~ Rich Hall

Life, as Explained in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"

GUILDENSTERN: What a fine persecution---to be kept intrigued without ever quite being enlightened.

------
ROSENCRANTZ : The only thing that makes it bearable is the irrational belief that somebody interesting will come on in a minute.

------
GUILDENSTERN: But for God's sake what are we supposed to do?!

PLAYER: Relax. Respond. That's what people do. You can't go through life questioning your situation at every turn.

GUILDENSTERN: But we don't know what's going on, or what to do with ourselves. We don't know how to act.

PLAYER: Act natural. You know why you're here at least.

GUILDENSTERN: We only know what we're told, and that's little enough. And for all we know it isn't even true.

PLAYER: For all anyone knows, nothing is. Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions.

------
GUILDENSTERN : We act on scraps of information... sifting half-remembered directions that we can hardly separate from instinct.

------
PLAYER: Life is a gamble, at terrible odds-if it was a bet you wouldn't take it.
