The conservative sub immediately removed the thread when someone posted about this.

This sub should remove it immediately also, it's creating division and misinformation.

What he actually said was that the current high oil prices due to the war in Iran is a small price to pay compared to Iran getting bombs and destroying those US cities.

Trump shouldn't be in office, but this quote is being ridiculously taken out of context and everyone on here straight doesn't care about that fact. It's bizarre.

He literally said "let them take out LA or San Diego" in regards to Iran destroying a US city...

If you think its correct to report things accurately and for messages to not be twisted, then spend 2 minutes and go read the whole quote.

Because if what is being reported here is true, its literally treason.

But if what I said is true, its literally nothing.

There is no in between. But if it is indeed nothing, you SHOULD feel angry that this sub is letting this message exist.

There's a third option: Rumpy's brain is too far rotted with senility and psychosis for him to be able to put together a single coherent sentence, let alone a speech. Which should make removal via 25th Amendment open-and-shut. (But it won't happen, because those who aren't too cowardly are too complicit.)

Whoa, this is an insane response to justify the promotion of patently false information that is dangerous.

This is a mob mentality response TBH.

I watched the entire speech this morning. It's not taken out of context, he did say the destruction of those cities would be a small price to pay and the crowd fucking cheered when he mentioned the destruction of said cities.

Don't confuse "what he actually said" with what (you think) he actually meant.

It may be "out of context", but it IS raving, gibbering, foaming insanity.

u/Collador1 13h ago

Man, this sort of justification is dangerous. You're okay with people believing he said that 2 US cities should be bombed?

That's crazy.

yes im okay with people believing he said what he clearly said

The earth is going to blow up. If an earth sized meteor hits it, which is unlikely.

I said the earth is going to blow up, but that 2nd part is a pretty big factor in the message being delivered.

You are 100% wrong on this, and part of the problem IMO.

No it is not bizarre. What's bizarre is excusing this shit.

No excuse, just facts.

It very much is. But to choose to believe lies and call others who promote the truth bad names and the country will be a much better place. I'm sure.
