The former president, in a typically loud post on his social media platform Truth Social, claimed that FBI agents had been authorized to use ‘deadly force’ during the raid of his Florida property

      You sure? Could just be coincidence I guess.

        You know that’s what Trump wasn’t talking about, and thus what I wasn’t talking about.

          What are you talking about then? His claim they were authorized to use deadly force?

          I’m probably daft and missed the joke.

              You both seem to be talking past each other. Funny thing about it is, you are both right about your arguments and make great points. Unfortunately, you both are arguing the wrong people. Fun!

                ?

                Mine was an attempt at meta humor based on the op’s negative inference sentence structure.

                  Maybe they were doing an attempt at meta humor based on people talking past each other? Idk, this thread is an impressive mess.

                    Man I just out two and two together. FlyingSquid was probably referencing how no one died in the “raid” and seathru was probably referencing how a bunch of spies and other sensitive personnel mysteriously disappeared or were killed after Trump had that meeting with Putin and then asked for….spies and sensitive personnel info shortly thereafter.

      They could have. We all know that the president can authorize killing his political opponents. I was told that was very cool.

      For all those who did not read or at least skim the article. FlyingSquirrel is referencing Trumps claims that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force when conducting their UnCoNsTiTuTiOnAl raid.

      For those of you who are confused about what FlyingSquid is talking about, Trump claims the FBI agents were authorized to use lethal force.

        I absolutely do. If someone had died, Trump would never have shut the fuck up about it.

          Hell nobody died and he still hasn’t shut the fuck up about it.

          The man has never shut the fuck up about anything, ever.

          Well except for his currently underway trial that he was totally going to testify in, that the defense just rested their case without him testifying in. Because his lawyers know that not only can he not shut the fuck up, he can’t make it through 3 sentences without telling at least one blatantly obvious lie, and that is a generally unadvisable thing to do when you are under oath.

          Unless Trump himself died, and now he is a double.

          Edit: I think we should post this conspiracy theory on 4chan.

            OMG! It has to be some absolute insanity though like Trump died and OBAMA is pretending to be Trump so that he can get an illegal 3rd term. Their heads would explode lol

            Is that why his hair has been a different color recently? They couldn’t match it on the double’s hair? He has been looking a bit more gray.
