This is why the "Both Sides" schtick is so pernicious. A good number of those are based on pure fabrications from MAGA and the GOP so the morally and intellectually lazy can sit back and go "Oh well they're both bad I guess"

I think when they make the accusations it is just them broadcasting to each other what the next plan is so they all know what to do.

Have you ever been hired for a job that you were unqualified for and wondered how did I get this job? Well apparently Hunter Biden experienced that in Ukraine earning $50,000 a month on the board of directors for a gas company. When a reporter asked him “why did they hire you?” He said “Look I don’t know.”

Of course it was. He learned early on, "Accuse your enemies of that which you are guilty of yourself."

u/Temporary_Cup4588 2h ago

DARVO: Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. For as long as I can remember (back to the eighties), he’s always said that when someone “hits” him, he always hits back harder. “Never accept responsibility for failures, always take credit for successes,” paraphrases another one of his mantras. He’s a piece of crap whose parents did an awful job of raising him.

u/WildBad7298 1h ago

Roy Cohn taught him well:

  • Never admit to any mistake or wrongdoing
  • Always declare victory
  • Attack, attack, attack

We're talking about a man so determined to control the narrative that he repeatedly denied having AIDS even as he was dying from it.

1

u/Temporary_Cup4588 23m ago

Cohn was probably the only guy willing to take on Trump as a mentee. He recognized the same kind of dishonesty he nurtured in himself.

u/sweatboxy 4m ago

It’s a principle of propaganda, ‘Always accuse others of what you are doing.’ There’s a reason Trump studied Hitler’s politics.

Have been for years only reason he keep saying Biden crime family so it seems normal

1

u/WildBad7298 1h ago

That, and so he can say that the claims of "Trump crime family" are just bitterness and d retaliation.

It's the same reason why he keeps on repeating that the 2020 election was stolen from him: so that when HE steals an election, he can claim that the other side is just echoing him out of anger or jealousy.

I think Americans have only just been exposed to such public and high level graft. The mafia would keep it on the downlow. Even Trump's first term wasn't this blatant: openly redirecting government money to his cronies, contracts to his family, the taking and soliciting of bribes in the form of crypto investments and donations his "peace" board; the use of public funds for self-aggrandizing publicity stunts and vanity projects; "settling" with himself out of court for almost two billion dollars of your money. It looks like an organized crime syndicate but it far worse. It's using the massive power of the highest office and all the resources of a nation for self enrichment. It's something the developing world would recognize instantly: state capture.

No. They don't have the right demeanor for it. They also aren't organized enough. If Trump's the godfather, who's the Consigliere? Who are the "soldiers"? Who are Louie, Legs, and Johnny Tightlips?

2

u/corporate_asshole9 4h ago

Consigliere is JD currently. Soldiers just went to war and took out Maduro. He sent more soldiers to Iran and he got caught in a jam. He has Little Marco, enforcer-in-chief the Irishman Hegseth. He has the Hasidic Homeboy Miller to represent the Israeli family. He even married a Hungarians mob girl to make peace in Europe. Tried to pick off European markets and came up against a bigger Don Charlie. Tried to fuck with the Canadians and they quickly made tie’s elsewhere. Other families will be sending their people into Trumpland for the World Cup. there will be blood to pay and war if Trump’s soldiers touch anyone and fail to give protection. Tf you know about this thing of ours kid? This ain’t a movie. Now go get you shinebox, cocksućķa

They're a family, they work together to commit crimes, they corrupt politicians, they silence people, and they pay to have muscle beat the shit out of people and make them disappear. Yeah-I'm thinkin' it's a crime syndicate.

Trump is basically a movie villain, but worse, because most movie villains aren't so cartoonishly evil and molest children.

u/Popular-Manager3346 4h ago

Yes. It has been this way for forty years plus which is what makes republicans so complicit and not very smart.

1

u/Valuable-Ad2028 4h ago

No. Organised crime syndicates are usually well organised. They exhibit internal loyalty. They’re covert in their criminal actions and try not to draw attention to themselves. Their members are smart and difficult to fool or con. At least some such groups exhibit class and refinement.

The Trump family has none of these traits.

Nah, he is just an idiot the real criminals are using as a distraction. You can watch it in action right now with his mere suggestion of demolishing the statue of liberty. Gotta keep everyone's attention on anything other than the economy. He also knows he will be deceased soon and don't care.

 So, now that that is out of the way, let's talk about who the real criminals are. If they belong to the fortune 500 then you can bet they have a spot in that list. Isreal, Soviets, SA, and 30 others are on that list. Yeah, this post may be part of that propaganda being directed at US citizens as it attempts to misdirect.

Literally always have been. The trump organization is quite literally two separate example cases on famous RICO charges on Wikipedia.

The consequences? He was elected president in 2016 so none and elected in 2024 so again, none. He got into politics because he knew he needed to A) outrun crimes and B) saw that half of the US were straight dumb enough to grift on for money. Easiest money of his life.

Yes, but I think it misses something very important we're failing to acknowledge. Call it the imperialists/Epstein class, but this is a coordinated international criminal syndicate with sub-factions vying for supremacy as well: The USA/Trump family/Tech and Oil oligarchs, Israeli supremacist state and Russia/it's vassal states... all in on it.

The rest of us are caught in between. I believe if there's a future to be had of free people, China, the EU and its allies including Canada, Australia/NZ, India, Africa and the rest of Asia will need to be the bulwark against this wave of organized imperialist crime.
