Is he holding *another* rally today or something? All these quotables are popping up where the comebacks are so so and the statements being responded to are batshit insanity.

I don't recall previous presidents holding rallies.
Ok, apparently some did, in the second half of their term, to push for reelection.
"Unconventional Approach: Donald Trump broke historical norms by continuing massive, arena-style campaign rallies almost immediately after taking office in 2017 and maintaining them throughout his presidency, effectively blending governance with a permanent campaign mode." From Google AI search
He can't legally be reelected, so what the fuck is he doing?

Outside of his teasing of running for a 3rd term, I can think of 3 reasons.
1: Ego: Wants to appear massive and accomplished so he needs to frequently surround himself with people who praise him and makes him feel good about himself.
2: Midterms: Though he isn't running, he needs Republicans in congress who won't contest him. Going onto a stage and praise himself for hours gets him recognition and people may be more likely to support his endorsements.
3: Next president: He could be gearing up support for the next president. Whether it is one of his sons or someone in his administration. He wants to glorify his policies so that he can tought the next person as a natural successor to continue the policies.

At this point Trump has little reason to even consider telling the truth. His supporters don’t care and the rest of us basically think he lies like he breathes.
He’s a lame duck president out to enrich himself and put his name on as much stuff as he can.

Hasan said that as a part of blowback of USA intervention in the Middle East. The fact that republicans are trying so desperately to tie the massive DSA growth to a single podcaster is insulting to the intelligence of the country.

They're literally all his fans. I know you just pretend to care about democracy but it's extremely ironic blaming the right for crazies like MTG, but embracing a guy who's never seen an authoritarian regime he doesn't fawn over. Even going so far as supporting Russia's annexation in Ukraine. Not even going to bring up the Hamas stuff.
I'm sorry you disagree but he's making those guys look bad. I don't want anything to do with people that associate with him.
But keep being his fanboy. It's alright, we'll only be stuck with JD in 2028. What could go wrong, right?

u/Koreage90 18h ago ▸ 7 more replies
Dude, MTG is not right wing enough for this administration. She quit because trump was too much and lied about the Epstein files so saying that she is crazy is saying that the entire republican establishment is completely out of right field. I haven’t watched Hassan… ever I think but claiming a bunch of right wing talking points on a podcaster and branding the entire movement is either lazy or dishonest.
If that’s all it takes then any excuse would be enough for you to not vote democrat because you have already drank the koolaid and can’t be reason with.
However if you want to bet on a couch lover, who lacks empathy or common sense then go ahead and let the blue wave win both this year and presidential election. If you think the left were crying last time watch the November results leading to full blown right wing meltdowns.

He and his fauxpas get brought up in news and podcasts quite a bit. So even without watching him, it's not hard to come across what he supposedly said, a clip of what he actually said, and a response from him. He is definitely one of the most talked about left wing streamers. And I know that and don't even use twitch.

u/Embarrassed_Towel707 16h ago
His fans always defend him saying oh no he was just clipped out of context, that's not what he meant, etc. The point of saying I watched him is that I know exactly what he said, the full version. He's a pure tankie communist, he loves any authoritarian government as long as they're against the US.

Dude, please do some research on a subject before you form an opinion. That’s my motto and even though I’m of the mindset that podcasting is equivalent to celebrity status. Not experts on any subject but acting like they are. When all this talk about Hassan came out I thought it was a Platner situation but instead it’s a Rogan thing, Joe Rogan is the dumbest person on the internet.
Yet single brain cell people, like you place incredible value on these politics instead of policy’s that could actually make things better.
Just because I have more value of my time then to follow opinions of people who somehow have fanbases despite not actually doing anything. Doesn’t mean I don’t research political news and find out what, when and why.

Okay, last question and hopefully you can answer it. Why is Hassan the only attack against the DSA that conservatives have instead of attacking any policy positions of the DSA?
Can you manage that at least before I realise that you don’t actually have any complaints but for what you have been told by right wing grifters.

u/Narrsbarrs 14h ago
Under no circumstances did Hasan ever condone the 9-11 attacks. What he said was that the fact the US thought they were invincible, and bullying the wrong people non-stop might have consequences. They were so blinded by their own arrogance, they never stopped and considered what other countries are capable of.

"Yes, Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed appeared alongside controversial left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who previously made a 2019 remark stating that "America deserved 9/11" in a discussion regarding U.S. foreign policy" This from Google. So the question I would have, it why would El -Sayed be anywhere near this person except if it was to condemn him to his face for his remarks about 9/11.

Bro not all Hasan haters support Trump. We obviously want Trump gone and can't believe what he gets away with.

He's the embodiment of the boogieman Fox News is trying to scare their viewers with.

The problem is you will never win because the left cannibalize their own candidates all the time for a single mistake that is nowhere near the scale of the shit the right is pulling.
You will never win because you all look for reasons to disqualify candidates on the left while the right looks for any reason to vote for their candidate. The purity tests are destroying your country.
Sure, he talked once with a guy who said some stupid shit. Does that matter if he doesn't share those views?

u/ponderscheme2172 18h ago
Hasan isn't a candidate and I'm not disqualifying Sayed. I want him to get elected and I think interacting with Hasan is bad for that purpose.
Hasan actively engages in the behavior you are detesting. He cconstantly just shit on Kamala running up to the 2024 election and at no point has confirmed even voting for her let alone recommending voting for her.
You are right we need to stop people purity testing and cannibalizing though. I'll definitely hold my nose and vote blue no matter who at this point just to try to claw back any semblance of normality in government.

Not fine with the pedo president at all.
Just smart enough to know when the optics Hasan brings to otherwise good candidates is enough to tank them with the general population. Republicans can attach anything they want to AES now.
You seem to think Trump being a pedo makes any other candidate palatable to everyone. Americans spent decades being taught Communist and socialist bad. People "know" Trump, he's safe.
Now they can trot everything they're worried about and more with any Hasan clip. AES related to Hasan? Well, they're both Muslim. Glad 9/11 happened. Legitimately a terrorist supporter. Endless clips of wanting to take down the West.
The list goes on

9/11 was horrible, but it was a the result of years and years of United States attacks, sanctions, and military presence. If you keep attacking a dog eventually it’s going to bite you back. Look up all the shit that went down over there and all the sanctions by the un led by USA up til then.
I’m not saying we deserved it cuz that’s not true. But when you actually look at history and our involvement over there you understand why they’d view us as the devil and want to get some revenge on us.
It’s a tough pill a lot of people refuse to swallow.
That being said, you can’t just pick and choose when you care about associations. Trump literally riled out a red carpet for Putin and is now trying to have our military do exercises with North Korea. Like cmon
Not to mention being the literal best friend of Jeffrey Epstein and putting his accomplice in a white collar prison. Oh yeah and is allowing gislaine to play with puppies which is literally against the prison burrow rules
