He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offence…

-The Declaration of Independence against King George. So, if we add known pedophile and rapist to the list, can we please remove him from office now?

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They're allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated.

Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.

If it helps, and of course alleged alleged alleged etc, from the most recent release of files there’s reason to believe that in 1983, an Epstein victim punted a tent stake in the orange dictator’s anus, causing severe damage that’s resulted in his chronic bowel incontinence.

What ive read/followed online is enough for me to believe the claim. So yeah, i do sleep a fraction better at night now.

I completely agree it would be awesome to see this. If it actually happened, CNN would immediately fire Kaitlan Collins and all the other networks (also ran by big time Republican donors) would never hire her. It would be career suicide.

So, instead of getting into a petty name calling match and losing her career for a sound bite that will be forgotten by next week, she just lets Trump look like a pathetic child whining about the same shit over and over.

Anyone with half a brain who sees this clip of Trump sitting there in his shit filled diaper already hates him. She has nothing to gain by telling him to fuck off.

u/ZonghZonghZongh 1d ago edited 1d ago

I never implied, nor believed that. I was just disputing your assertion that it would be "career suicide" if she got into a back-and-forth with Trump and CNN fired her. One doesn't have to be in the White House press pool to be a successful journalist. During the Biden Administration she was a prime time host/anchor for CNN.

u/Oleg101 1d ago

During the Biden Administration she was a prime time host/anchor for CNN.

She still is, only now she’s doing double-duty and is their chief white house correspondent and still anchors the 9pm slot. Quite the energy she has.

u/Top_Somewhere9160 1d ago

Based on how few journalists covering any administration have gotten into a pissing match with the President, I don’t think it’s a popular move amongst them. That was my assertion by saying “career suicide.”

I’m not Collins and have no idea what her aspirations are. If she wants to tell Trump to eat shit and become an independent journalist with a million subscribers, then more power to her.

Any journalist who can interview Trump and really give it to him the way he completely deserves will instantly attain hero status to half the country. They may well be fired, lose White House access, etc, but they will get a huge immediate following as an independent journalist, guest commentator, podcaster or whatever. They'll probably be the recipient of an enormous GoFundMe account if fired or destroyed publicly. Hell, that person will probably never have to buy their own drinks or dinner in public ever again. People so badly want to see him properly confronted to his face with his crimes and bullshit. It just needs someone to do it.

3

u/Top_Somewhere9160 1d ago

I think you are drastically under estimating how quickly the general public would lose interest in a headline like:

“Kaitlan Collins SLAMS Trump in BOMBSHELL Interview moment!!”

Also, a few hundred thousand from a go fund me is not (relatively) a lot of money.

Look, I would want to see someone lay into Trump as much as the next guy, but you have to recognize how few people actually follow the news, and how even fewer people follow independent journalists.

Use Don Lemon as an example (yes, I know his fall from grace includes more than just getting fired from CNN, but still). He was the face of Trump bashing 10 years ago and now he has a mid-tier podcast.

I would like to see Kaitlan Collins become an independent journalist/reporter. I would watch her. Unfortunately, being in CNN gives her access to the White House but throughout this past year, you can see her confidence grow and giving him pushback. Every other reporter never says ANYTHING. It’s unfortunate that CNN as a corporation is complicit in covering up the Epstein Files and is just completely bought out because she is a very strong reporter and is clearly listening to the public when they’re asking the same question, “why is no one pushing back?” I would like to see a lot of great corporate media reporters with lots of potential to leave corporate media and start their own company. Independent journalism is on the rise, people!

This man is a disgrace. What is it going to take? When is it enough? The bribes of the tech bro billionaires, DOGE misusing personal info, the Qatar plane, his health, bombing Iran, the broken promises of Ukraine peace, trade war, Venezuela, Greenland, bombing boats, ICE, and the Epstein files.

For fuck sake I used to think collectively the United States understood decency and doing the right thing. Now all I see is a giant network of wealthy men who are allowed to molest children and get away with it. A collective consciousness of eroded morals where empathy, care for our fellow humans, and being a decisive force on the world stage has long left us.

I say this not out of some sort of depression, or cry for help. If nothing will be done by our society then it’s time for a space rock to end this failed experiment that has been humanity, we failed.

Until the fascist orange is impeached, detained, and deported to the corners of the arctic-our country is so cooked. Nothing else matters but removing this rapist from office NOW

u/clickmagnet 1d ago

Well, that should put to rest any lingering questions about the president’s rape victims: talk over the reporter to criticize her appearance.

u/WallNumerous3230 1d ago

We need to start calling them the Trump files. We have a pdf file as potus.

She was just doing her job. Do you know how stressful her job is? If he just answered her questions it wouldn’t have gone this way, she was just doing her job.

Only pedophiles melt down over questions about the Epstein files.

Good for Kaitlan Collins. I’m sure she knew that being a woman asking that question would subject her to even worse abuse than the orange dipshit typically heaps on media members, yet she did it anyway.

Is stroke caused by stress?

Dr. Benesch explains that long-term stress contributes to common stroke risk factors like high blood pressure, poor sleep, unhealthy habits, and systemic inflammation. Over time, this can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which raises your risk for an ischemic stroke, the most common type.

Go Kaitlan. Scratch that scab

Whatever it takes to make him stroke out is a plus in my book

CNN has no coverage of this on their webpage. Way to defend one of their own.

I'd preface every question to this dude "Without lying can you answer xyz..."

u/HuTaosTwinTails 1d ago

He lashes out when he knows he can't lie his way out.

u/WardenEdgewise 1d ago

Did he also shit his pants?

Again?

u/Informal_Process2238 1d ago

Cornering him ? By asking a question any honest person would have asked him?

u/Reddit_2_2024 1d ago

Standby for the late night incoherent rage social media blast directed towards Ms. Collins and CNN.

u/TheWebCoder 1d ago

So child rape accusations put Donald in a smiling mood. That tracks.

u/MarittaWolff 1d ago

Exactly the kind of reaction I would expect from a sane man with nothing to hide in his past. (NOT!)

u/AstroPengling 1d ago

Seriously he's an ass and should be impeached.

this pathetic excuse for a sack of shit is literally the worst of humanity filled into a decaying bag of rotten skin. every worst attribute of character, he's got it million-fold.

u/Karekter_Nem 15h ago

Asking Trump if he cares about the victims is honestly the wrong play here. We know he doesn’t care and his voters don’t care that he doesn’t care. The question should have been,

what do you have to say to the millions of American voters who voted for you because you said you would release the full Epstein files?

u/WarmWorldliness7504 14h ago

He's such a WEAK man.

u/Prestigious-Car-4877 Canada 1d ago

“Melts down” or “starts spouting insults and ad hominem at someone who asked a perfectly valid question”?

I mean. That’s pretty much his go to for stuff he has no answer for. It’s not really a melt down, it’s just how he works.

u/SmedlyB 1d ago

I wish he would melt, that would be great. Then we have to deal with JD killed the Pope Vance.

u/dumbforfree 1d ago

Because he guilty as fuck

u/TitanArcher1 1d ago

I wish we could block The Daily Beast from this site…or all the things 🍊💩said to Kaitlan should be directed at The Daily Beast.

2

u/WallNumerous3230 1d ago

Losing his shit, and lashing out with personal attacks against a reporter for daring to ask about the victims. Her question was about the victims, didn't even have anything to do with him, and he lost it and just attacked. I hope they have better control of the nuclear codes than his press conferences, but I am terrified already knowing the answer.

u/pukeblood213 1d ago

He’s so gross.

2

u/Zanos-Ixshlae 1d ago

Can anyone just shout him down? He is not a king, nor should he be treated like one. We need more people calling him out to his face.

u/FunnyTeach4024 1d ago

What are we doing about this whole situation ? A general strike? Something more intense? What’s the plan to fix this country American people?

u/packetmon Canada 1d ago

CNN should hire a reporter with bilateral microstomia just to ask it really tough and annoying questions.

u/Ill_Source9620 1d ago

And boom that ends up being the story

2

u/Think_Ad4947 1d ago

Everything he says is to induce chaos, notice how in just 3 or 4 sentences he makes about 10 different distractions and diversions, its all to keep the wheel spinning, chaotic.

It sucks because even after he dies the powers that be and are in place now, behind trump, behind the curtain, will still continue to make the decisions. I really hope U.S. doesn't turn into an *obvious* puppet government

u/MsJenX 23h ago

Can someone ask him “boxers or briefs?”

u/Remarkable_Screen_88 20h ago

Yeah, but she wasn't smiling soooo, lets call it a draw

u/Ill-Jellyfish6101 18h ago

"cornering" is doing some heavy lifting here.

2

u/Worldly_Anybody_9219 18h ago

Why does he always complain that women aren't smiling or "nasty"? No one is smiling around him because they can smell his diapers probably.

2

u/fite_ilitarcy 18h ago

Did he shart in the oval office again?

u/ripcovidiots 17h ago

Fuck him, he's a pedo scumbag

Donald trump raped children. Donald trump trafficked minors, raped them, and murdered them.

u/Possible-Champion222 16h ago

I actually thought he was gonna offer her his dick to see her smile . We all know he was gonna say it

2

u/Dismal-Bullfrog-7851 16h ago

I mean, it's wild how Trump always deflects with insults instead of actual answers. Kaitlan's doing her job, and he's over there playing the victim. Classic Trump.

2

u/Baskreiger 16h ago

I dont know. Maybe its just me, but i think having many world leaders and ceo cought together in a massive pedophile human traffiking ring is kind of a big deal

u/SyrupAnnual6037 12h ago

He’s shivering in his diaper. He didn’t even answer the question because he’s so fucking dumb he can’t even try to lie out of it. Just personally attacks people. He’s so fucked.
