Junior is Triggered part III

"The same party that used to preach peace, tolerance, and inclusivity (mostly platitudes when you look at its history, which I will) has now become the party of hate, violence, and suppression of free speech."

Total bullshit. But, yet another promise. *sigh* Sure, what ever.
This is the problem when you try to pack too much in the message. You are garbling it all up.

But, I'll wait with explaining this one to your deeper look on the Democrats.

One thing, though. A platitude is something repeated so often that people are tired of hearing it. It doesn't mean it's untrue.

It is also interesting how "hand-to-hand combat in protests" is never the other side's fault. "It takes two to make a quarrel" is an unknown proverb to these people. (Lack of accountability, lack of theory of mind. Typical.) Let's ignore how many of these combats were started by Righties. Let's ignore how many of these combats were between Righties, with no involvement of the Lefties. Let's ignore how many of the combats were blown out of proportion, like when Rand and Kelley Paul were "attacked by an angry mob". (They weren't attacked, there wasn't a mob. They were confronted by protesters, and because they have been reading and believing all the Rightie propaganda, they were scared out of their wits, and unable to assess the situation correctly. Yeah, watch the videos. Not just some heavily edited propaganda versions.) 

BTW, what about when a registered Republican and an avid Trump supporter drove his car into a group of protesters, killing a person and injuring several? Are you aware that there are people who claim he was a Hillary Clinton supporter, that he was paid by someone to do it, that he was provoked to do this, and all kinds of apologetics. That the President waited for two days before he condemned this violence (at least that), didn't make it any better. He's really quick to tweet about things that bother him, so I assume this didn't really bother him much. Someone probably told him he needs to say something.


And then Donnie says that the people called extreme left activists aren't that, they are just angry people who like to fight people (and live in their parents' basement). But that doesn't stop him from blaming the left, Antifa and BLM for it.

Violence against journalists? Let's talk about that...
RSF Index 2019: Institutional attacks on the press in the US and Canada
(The six journalists killed 2019, which made USA one of the 10 deadliest countries for journalists, were 4 people who were killed in a personal vendetta between the killer and the newspaper, and 2 who died in an accident.)


Righties threaten anyone who doesn't go along with their twisted ideas. More death threats thrown around by righties than lefties. And Righties love guns and aren't afraid to use them. Antifa throws milkshakes.

"They’re not exactly the most physically imposing people in the world (that’s what happens when you live on nothing but soy lattes and veggie burgers), but the sheer force of their numbers is shocking"
You might want to watch The Game Changers.

But, let's see... we have this army of emaciated losers living in their parents' basements, don't have guns, don't have money, and... you are scared to death by them? Because they are so many? And they are so mean on the internet?

"They have allowed hate to spread at a rate we haven’t seen since the era of civil rights, when Democrats—the party that founded the KKK, in case you’ve forgotten—would organize lynch mobs and counterprotests all across the South, most of which ended in horrific violence."

The Democrat party did not found the KKK. 

Also, I wouldn't put the blame of the Southern racism on just Democrats. Southern Republicans were worse. And on top of that, things have been changing. The Democrats aren't Strom Thurmond's Democrats, and the Republicans haven't been Abraham Lincoln's Republicans for a long time. The Southerners have never been. So much so that the Republicans apologized for their civil rights era racist campaign strategies in 2005 in effort to gather black voters. 

Were Republicans really the party of civil rights in the 1960s?
How the Republican Party Became The Party of Racism

"As of November 16, 2016, I became one of their top targets"

Firstly, "these people" - who are you talking about now? Democrats, Antifa, The Resistance, the Basement Vegans?
Secondly, you are just your father's son. You'll slip back into "who's that?" next year. You are nobody's "top target".
Thirdly, considering how much dust you beat up about being hated just because of your dad, it is interesting how much you spread hatred against Hunter Biden. Shame on you. All the other Presidential children have solidarity on each other, Chelsea Clinton even defended your brother. I suppose gratitude is not something you people do.

"After the election, I became the guy who receives the second highest number of death threats in the country (according to the Secret Service, second only to my father)."
Prove it. I haven't been able to find any evidence of this claim, no evidence of any number or even estimation on how many death threats your daddy receives. I am 100% certain of that this is not true. I am 100% certain of that Obama still receives more death threats than you ever will. Prove me wrong.

"Here’s what the exploding letter filled with powder that sent my then wife and a member of my Secret Service detail to the hospital said: “You are an awful person. This is why people hate you. You are getting what you deserve. So shut the f—k up.”"

That sounds so scary... when in reality it was a letter (not exploding) with corn starch, addressed to you and opened by your wife... why did she open letters to you? Your wife was taken to hospital just in case. Her health and life was never in danger.

"Keep in mind that I hadn’t done anything to that person"
Are you sure? He told you to shut up and stop whining because you are getting what you deserve... is there possibly something you have done that might have given this guy the expression that you were whining because you didn't like people telling you what they thought about you?
Also, Bernie Sanders hasn't done anything to you. Elizabeth Warren hasn't done anything to you. Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Barack Obama, the Clintons, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or any other of those dozens of people you attack in this book, hasn't done anything to you. 

Most of the people on the internet you keep "having opinions on" haven't done anything to you either. They also "just have an opinion", write things, give speeches - exercise their freedom of expression.
Why should yours be respected, but theirs not? Why should you be allowed to say anything you like, attack people, call people names, accuse people of things that aren't true, and spread lies, but when someone else does it, it's suddenly SOOOO TERRRRIBLE!!!

"who, by the way, turned out to be a liberal activist and an Elizabeth Warren donor"
How do you define "liberal activist"? This guy was one of those "young men living in their mother's basement", and his "activism" consisted of internet and sending letters. "He has significant developmental issues from brain damage at birth, autism and anxiety disorder."

And when it comes to him donating to ActBlue, here's some people who donate to Donald Trump:

This "right-wing activist and Trump supporter" send letters with actual explosives to people, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Now, they weren't bombs, there was nothing to set them off, and these letters were intercepted before they reached their target, but... explosives are a bit more serious than corn starch, don't you think?

On July 20, 2012, a person armed with multiple firearmes, walked in a movie theater in Aurora Colorado, and started shooting. 12 people were killed, 70 others injured. 

Your comment: “Overall I give the movie two thumbs up.”

How would it feel if someone said "I give the baseball game two thumbs up"?

"The man ran down a steep hill to gain momentum"
What steep hill?
Rand Paul was sitting on his riding lawn mower, mowing grass. I'm not defending the attacker, but there is 17 years of arguments between the neighbors, and no reason to assume the attack was politically motivated.

You also exaggerate Paul's injuries. As if it wasn't bad enough as it was. I mean... why do that? It's openly available information, why exaggerate?

"As he was recovering, the left celebrated"
I find that hard to believe.

Tom Arnold's tweet was a response to another tweet.

Mehdi Hasan:
1) Paul claims Omar called America a ‘terrible country’. She never said it. A lie.
2) Paul hails America’s refugee record, ignoring the Muslim ban.
2) Omar has visited Somalia more than Paul has - & knows far more about it.
3) Paul’s dad published a white nationalist news letter

This was a response to yet another tweet:
Sara A. Carter:
@RandPaul on @IlhanMN: "I’m willing to contribute to buy her a ticket to visit #Somalia... she can look and maybe learn a little bit about the disaster that is Somalia." “After she’s visited Somalia she might come back and appreciate America more.”

Omar never said USA is a terrible country or a rotten country. Senator Paul said she did. If you think people shouldn't get upset when other people lie about them, why the heck did you write this book? Hypocrite.

This is why Ilhan Omar retweeted Tom Arnold's tweet. He was showing support to her, against Rand Paul's "lying cowardly circular whiny bullcrap". It had nothing to do with Rand Paul getting attacked, and everything to do with her being attacked by Rand Paul.

"they won’t say anything about Omar allegedly marrying her brother"

Why would they? It's a really sinister, racist lie.
"to enter the country illegally"
Because she didn't. She was 13 when her family came to USA, as legal asylum seekers. Five years later she became US citizen.

You know who did enter the country illegally, dated a married man, and later married him, to become US citizen, while being in the country illegally? Melania Knavs Trump.
And she brought in her parents, too! Three moochers who do nothing for USA, and you attack an American Congresswoman?

"she’s not exactly the moral authority the media makes her out to be"
I haven't heard anyone say she's a moral authority. Do you have any sources on that?
I didn't think so. Just another strawman.

Your brother SAYS he was spat on. Judging by the content of this book, and what your daddy has said, I wouldn't believe his word. The restaurant owner did. The woman lost her job.
Nevertheless, the trumpettes attacked the restaurant.
We don't know if she spit on him, or if she did, why. No-one has asked her. She would probably be lynched if people knew who she was. And not by Democrats.
Now, of course patrons shouldn't be spat on, and if she did, it's only right she lost her job.
But there is nothing to imply she did it because she's a "looney leftie". Maybe she's someone Eric had an affair with, and is now trying to hide it?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave, because of political differences. It all went very civilly and peacefully. No problems. Except that Sarah Huckabee Sanders decided to make it into an issue by tweeting about it. Two days later she spoke out against "hate and vandalism" against the restaurant. As if she didn't know what was going to happen. Even the President decided to join the bashing, and lied about it.
The restaurant owner still receives hate mail. People even tried to make it her fault that the whole area was suffering economical damage. BS. Many people thought she did right, and celebrated her as a person who stood up for herself, and the area benefited economically about the event and the consequences. People who know her - that is, the people living in the area - gathered around her when the Right Wing assholes decided to punish her for exercising her 1st amendment rights.

2012 Vice President Joe Biden was denied access to a bakery because of political differences. That, too, went on totally civilly and peacefully. There was no backlash to the bakery.
Vice President Biden and his staff said nothing about the incident, but a television reporter found out about it, and the story was picked up by conservatives, who made the bakery owner their hero. He was even invited to introduce the Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan at a rally.

As usual, Donnie doesn't give a crap about presenting the issue justly.

A Libertarian Defense of the Red Hen's Right to Refuse Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Now, the second part of the claim - Sarah Huckabee Sanders went home with her husband, but the rest of the group went to another restaurant. Junior claims they were harassed out of that, too, by "Antifa mob", "just minutes afterward". I haven't been able to find any reference to that, so - I assume this is more misinformation, misunderstanding, misrepresentation.

Now, of course it's not OK to harass other patrons in restaurants, stores, in public, etc. But it's not that Righties were innocent of this either.

"Senator McConnell has been targeted multiple times, including by left-wing extremists who stormed his home screaming “Just stab the m—f—in the heart.” Then, when the senator posted a video of the incident, Twitter locked him out. They locked him out for showing an attack on his house directed by the left!"
The video showed no attacks.
There were people gathering around the house. No-one stormed his home.
No-one was screaming "Just stab the motherfucker in the heart". That was said by whoever filmed the video.
Twitter "locked him out", not for showing an attack on his house, but because of a death threat to a Senator. That is explicitly forbidden by Twitter rules. They put it back after they were made aware of that the death threat was against the person who posted it, not by him, and it was meant to make public aware of what happened.
Yes, I know it doesn't sound at all as dramatic.

Now, November 15th hundreds of right-wing extremists gathered to President and Mrs. Clinton's home (or stormed it, according to Donnie boy), shouting among other things "lock her up".

This is what Chelsea Clinton tweeted: “There are Trump supporters outside my parents’ house shouting through megaphones "Lock Her Up". I just keep thinking, I hope they’re wearing masks and some day get over 2016.”

"I also felt a little sad that this is what we’ve come to, where people are going to implicitly threaten in the dark, in the rain, a former President and Presidential Candidate.", said one of the residents.
Yes, it is. But you care only about the fact that President and mrs Clinton are "lefties".

Mike Pence saying "that's what democracy sounds like" is gracious, indeed. You should listen to him. You are saying people exercising their 1st amendment rights is harassment. (BTW, he didn't say that about the speech the cast made, but about the fact that the audience booed him when they noticed him come in. The girls with him got worried, and he calmed them down. It's OK to be booed. It's just words. Good man.)

If a bakery may tell the Vice President that he is not welcome to the bakery, the people who wrote a musical and who make it come to life, the people who are responsible for the theater being able to sell tickets for hundreds of dollars, and having a show that sells, they most certainly have the right to tell the Vice President what they think about him.  

BTW, what did they say?
Pence says he ‘wasn’t offended’ by ‘Hamilton’ as Trump continues to demand an apology

"how uncivilized and deranged"... is it uncivilized? No, it isn't. Frankly, it was brilliant, very eloquent, and what better venue to deliver the speech? It wasn't rude, hostile or "lecturing".
In what way is it deranged? You keep throwing words around, and I don't think they mean what you think they mean. Like deplorable.

"By the way, though I use the terms “lefty, leftist, and left” interchangeably with “Democrat” in these pages, not all Democrats are leftists. Many are good people, some even voted for my father. Unfortunately, the party has lost its way and is now run by the leftists and the socialists." 

Yeah, and I know a lot of good Republicans. All of them voted for Biden 2020. Unfortunately, the GOP is fighting a civil war,  Right Wing extremists against sane people, and even though there are more sane people than Wingnuts, Repugnicans, Trumpettes, Contards and Fascists, that latter group has the motto: "quantity beats quality". I have full confidence in that saneness and truth will prevail, and the idiots will be pushed out. Extremism is a nasty thing.

"Instead of giving an answer, the man continued his irrational rant..." "...incoherent screaming..." "...loud nonsense..."
considering what you have written so far, I would very much like to have an audio recording of this. He could just as well have answered totally coherently and sensibly, but now we will never know. Only an idiot takes your word on it.
Frankly, is there any evidence of that this actually happened?
Or maybe you harassed his wife. He came to the table to tell you what an asshole you are, and your buddy decided to make it about politics, so of course he got confused. What does taxes have to do with you pawing his wife?

Trump Derangement Syndrome
Yeah, he is deranged.
Let me explain that word to you, right now, before everyone forgets it, and you have time to invent a whole new story.
Deranged is having lost the ability to determine what is real and what is not real. Like when your father says he won the election, when Joe Biden did. A deranged person behaves in a crazy or dangerous way, like threatening to start WWIII, throwing temper tantrums, and tweeting angry, often incomprehensible things, and spreading conspiracy theories.

I know that "Trump derangement syndrome" is a pejorative term used to dismiss any criticism or negative reaction and attitude to Trump, whether it is actually deserved or not, so I'm going to ignore it. It means only that the one calling it doesn't like what they hear, and they are trying to discredit the critics, and shut them up. But we aren't going to shut up, are we? We aren't such whiny wussypants like you crying about people trying to silence us all the time. Even though you wish you could...

So, Donnie keeps whining about "lefties trying to silence righties", which is total bullshit. Gabby Giffords dares to continue speaking. Be more like Gabby.

Antifa is not a terrorist organization. It's not even an organizations. It's an umbrella term covering a lot of people, who often disagrees with each other in everything except their hatred of fascists. I can understand that it terrifies fascists, but... you claim you're not fascist, so what are you afraid of?
 
Maybe you need to learn what fascist is.

Firstly, there are no "liberal fascists". That's total bullshit. Fascism is an extreme Nationalist right wing ideology.

Fascism has a Great Leader. Antifa doesn't have leaders.
Fascism is based on emotions, pathos, spirit, ideas, and is against science, rationalism, questioning, fact-checking, verifying information - you have to believe in the Cause. You have to believe in the Greater Good, American Dream, Greatness of the Nation - and at the same time The Evil Enemy of the State.
Correct sources of information are the ones the Great Leader approves.
Don't question the Great Leader. The Great Leader has come, like a legendary hero, the best of the best, to lead his people from the oppression of the Evil Ones to freedom and glory, he protects them from The Evil (always the political opposition). He is worshiped, loved, admired, idolized. He is infallible. The ruler shouldn't be tied with laws, rules, traditions, and regulations, to be able to do his work which is to save his people from The Evil.
As Fascism is Nationalistic, the legends and myths that support the Leader are national romantic. They elevate the idea of the country into something amazing.

Fascism wants the elite to rule. Antifa doesn't want anyone to rule.
Fascism think democracy is only good for as long as the people votes right and does the right thing. People who start questioning the order, and trying to think independently and differently, trying to be unique, start voting "wrong", need to be eliminated for the best of the society.
Fascism thinks the strongest are the elite and meant to rule. The rich are people who have earned their higher incomes through intelligence, imagination, and hard work, and pass on these qualities to their offspring along with the wealth. The poor people are stupid, lazy moochers, good for nothing but be used as workers, to gather more wealth to the elite, and soldiers. Soldiers, militia, the police, is to be used to force people to do what they ought to do, to protect the elite from The Evil. Might makes right, and the one with most might, power, strength, money, is the best of the best.
Fascism believes in the survival of the fittest. Fascism believes weakness should be removed, with force if necessary. Weakness, non-perfection, non-ideal is not desired, and needs to be removed. Poor people are weak. Old people are weak. Sick people are weak. Odd people are weak. Different people are weak. Minorities are weak. The weak people should be thinned out, so that the society becomes stronger and better equipped to win.  Fascists believe that diversity weakens the society. Everyone should be the same. Everyone should be loyal. Everyone should be perfect. If you can't be perfect, intelligent, hard-working and rich, you can compensate by being obedient and loyal. Each citizen is an object for the Great Leader to be used as he wants to, for the Greater Good.
Fascism wants the people to be a monolith, loyal group of followers, governed by the elite, controlled by a strong national identity. The ruler, for example the President, should have free hands, be obeyed absolutely, and there shouldn't be any opposition.
Fascism opposes divided power, and that undeserved would have any power. The workers should be grateful and loyal and devoted, sacrifice themselves and all they have to the higher good and to the Leader, who knows best. Unions, protests, democracy, civil rights are swearwords.
The base unit of a society is the family; mommy, daddy, children. This central unit should be traditionally religious (in Western societies Christian). The government should control the education, and the curriculum should be approved by The Great Leader and be designed to bring up good, loyal members of society. Individualism is not appreciated or encouraged.

This is the real definition of Fascism. And, I'm sorry to tell you, it fits the Trumpettes to a tee.


"In April 2017, an Antifa mob wearing ninja black, ski masks, and sun goggles and carrying knives, clubs, and cans of Mace descended on the peaceful Patriots’ Day “free speech” rally in Berkeley, California. Of all places—the home of the ’60s hippies’ crusade for free speech. One of the Antifa thugs began hitting people in the head with a large bicycle U-lock. He sneaked up on them and hit them from behind—the worst kind of coward. As many as eleven people fell from the blows. One man was so badly injured that he needed multiple staples in his skull to close the wound."

15th of April wasn't Patriots' Day, but the Extreme Right who rallied called it "Patriots' Day Free Speech rally". As if. Fascists like the word "patriot"...
There were a lot (500-1000 people) of both extreme right and extreme left "thugs", who started fighting.
Both groups were fighting, they were using rocks, bricks, sticks, pipes, bottles, sign and flag poles, skateboards, anything they found. Even though people were told not to bring weapons in, the police confiscated knives, sticks, baseball bats, pepper spray, mace, fireworks, from both sides. They even used trash bins as battering rams.  
It wasn't just left who had weapons. Come on. Oath Keepers, Identity Evropa, Rise Above Movement, Proud Boys... do you really expect me to believe these guys wouldn't fight back and fight dirty? That these guys wouldn't expect violence?
13 people were arrested.
Eleven people were harmed in the fights. Not by Eric. He was charged with 3 counts of assault with a deadly weapon. It's not an attempted murder.

"An "ethics" professor"? You don't know that that is a real thing?
Oh, yeah, sure, you don't know what ethics are.
Is it ironic? No, it's not. You see, he considers fascists like you and your daddy such a threat to the society that he is ready to fight. I suppose you think it's ironic, because you don't really even know what ethics mean, or even have any.
Seriously, have you never heard the question "if you could kill Hitler as a baby, would you do it?"
Of course killing babies is wrong! But killing Hitler before he manages to create all... that...? Isn't it more wrong?
Or the classic: "you are in a concentration camp and a Nazi officer gives you a gun and tells you to either kill yourself or 10 other prisoners". I would try to kill the Nazi officer.




Now, Andy Ngo... I'm sorry to tell you, but Andy Ngo is a well-known con artist, who "creates" the stories he writes. I wouldn't believe one word he says.
They threw milkshakes on him. Vegan milkshakes. Oh, the horror. He didn't suffer any brain injuries. That's just Andy Ngo for you.
Of course it's not challenged by Right Wing rags, because you want him to be real. Besides, you believe anything you want to believe, verity is irrelevant. Remember, Fascists don't like facts, they like emotions, ideas, what sounds good, what can be sold to masses. 
 
Now, of course it isn't right to attack people. It isn't right to attack your political opponent for any kind of violence against anyone who seems to be on your side, either. Is it?
 
Journalist with local ties is shot by federal agents


"If those had been isolated incidents..."

They are.

Also, all over the country, Fascists are organizing marches, shutting down speakers, and committing horrible acts of violence when they don't get their way. And even if they do.
And you ignore them or cheer them on. "There is no fascism, and if there is, it's the Lefties! I don't know what fascism is, but I know it's something bad, so it's the lefties!!!" "Stand back and stand by".

No, Donnie, it's not because we don't "like" to hear what you have to say, it's because what you have to say stinks. I have now read two chapters of your book, and most of it is lies or exaggerated and twisted versions of the truth.

And you have spend a lot of time whining about people being mean to you - on the internet. With words. Saying words you don't like to hear. Calling that violence and hate and trying to shut down people. "I'm attacked by an outraged mob online"
Words aren't violence, unless you don't like them.

So, to recap the 2nd chapter:

- Mueller report - exists because the Democrats were sore losers (never mind the investigation started before the election was over, because someone found out you were colluding with Russia to interfere with US politics)
- protests - because the Democrats were sore losers (but the Republicans protest when they lost because...?)
- "#Resist - because the Democrats were sore losers (never mind that words are just words. Not if it's a Democrat using them)
- angry Vegans - because the Democrats were sore losers
- a mentally handicapped man sends a letter with corn starch and tells you you're a bad man - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Congressional Baseball Game shooting - because the Democrats were sore losers (when it's a Rightie lone gunman shooting people, it's not the whole Republican party who is guilty, but when it's a Leftie lone gunman, it's the Democrats.)
- Someone responds to a nasty tweet - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Someone (uhum, the President) spreads malicious lies about a Congresswoman - because the Democrats were sore losers
- A neighbor quarrel gets out of hand - because the Democrats were sore losers
- An asshole gets spat on - because the Democrats were sore losers
- A politician gets asked to leave a restaurant - because the Democrats were sore losers (when the politician was Democrat, it had nothing to do with the Republicans being sore losers)
- people protest outside a politician's home - because the Democrats were sore losers (when the politician or celebrity is Leftie, it's not because the Republicans are sore losers. It's because the politician/celebrity is a bad egg. Oh, sorry, it's because the Democrats are horrible people.)
- twitter removes a death threat - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Hamilton cast uses their freedom of speech and speaks to the Vice President Elect - because the Democrats were sore losers
- a man starts screaming at you - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Antifa - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Antifa fights with white supremacists - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Antifa fights with fascists - because the Democrats were sore losers
- Antifa bashes a known extreme right instigator - because the Democrats were sore losers
These are not isolated incidents, all these happened because the Democrats were sore losers.

No, junior. Not on thing of these happened because the Democrats were "sore losers". Most of these things aren't even the Democrats' fault. Besides, the Democrats were gracious losers. You daddy refuses to even acknowledge the fact that he lost. You refuse to acknowledge it. Your supporters refuse to acknowledge it.
And you are doing all the stuffs you accuse the Democrats of doing. Getting on the streets whining about it, beating up counter protestors, protesting outside the houses of people who don't even have anything to do with it, attacking people on the internet. Hillary conceded. She had won the popular vote, but not the electorates, and you had been on her the whole way - YOU STILL ARE - yet she conceded. Like you do when you lose the election. Your daddy doesn't have the guts.

Talk about sore losers.

Junior is Triggered, part II

There is so much bullshit here that I would need to write a whole book to clean it all up :-D I suppose the theory is that the sheer volume makes people dull so that they just "read" the key words and react as they should. This is probably why Trumpettes never fact check anything.

Here's the short of it.
I didn't do anything wrong, because everyone does it, and Hillary did it more, besides we didn't even have time because my dad deliberately employs people who don't know what they do, because it's not illegal when you don't know it's illegal. And I am an important, relevant person, the liberals hate me second most! I know because I have just tried to live my life in peace, but they hate me so much that they respond to all my tweets, and it's so unfair! That's trying to shut me up! It is an attack on my rights to point out when I'm wrong! 


Yes, we have heard the Mueller Report is out. 

They found that you are guilty of discussing your political opponent with Russians, and even though they didn't find ENOUGH evidence to impeach your daddy, they found enough evidence to recommend further, deeper investigations into the matter. I do hope they will do it next year.

Having read that chapter, I have to assume that you don't understand what is being investigated, what you did wrong, and how it's wrong.

Which means that you would do it again.
Which means that you shouldn't be let near the American politics.

I suppose you imagine you were just doing what everyone was doing, just some ordinary opposition research. But there is a distinct difference between opposition research and foreign interference. Digging dirt is what everyone does. But accepting dirt offered by a foreign state... that IS foreign interference in the American politics. I can imagine you think it's all right as long as the foreigners are interfering with your opponent, and boy didn't it pay back, but do you think the foreigners will stop at that? You have given them a foot in. But you people never think that something might happen to you.
It was so funny to see people in 2008 Republican Convention crying over surveillance. "It feels like someone is always watching what I do!" It was funny, because I tried to tell people in 2001 that that is what the Patriot Act was about. "I haven't done anything wrong, I have nothing to be afraid of", they said. Yeah... 

What about some Theory of Mind? Ever heard of it? Empathy and understanding others? Ability to understand that other people's motivations, feelings, beliefs might be different from yours, but still equally valid? That different people know different things?

I mean... I find it highly suspect that you don't understand the difference. Have you accepted money from foreigners for Trump's campaigns? What else will be found when we start digging?

The Mueller report didn't find you nor your daddy innocent. There was collusion, that much is clear. You did meet Russians and discussed Hillary. You did accept their offer of dirt on her.

The difference between what you did and what Clinton did with the Steele dossier, is that Clinton hired an American company. It's totally legal to send someone to investigate the opponent in foreign countries. The difference is who is doing the asking and how. You could send an investigator in Ukraine and China to seek up dirt on Biden, but asking Ukraine and China to dig up dirt and then threatening them if they refuse...That's a big no-no.

FACT CHECK: Foreign Interference And 'Opposition Research' Are Not The Same

"Throughout the entire Russia investigation, it seemed, the Democrats in Congress had only one reason to exist, and that was to try and make my father and me cower in a corner, curl up in a ball, and die."
Except that they did a lot of other things during that time. 
Also, no-one wanted you to cower in a corner and die. We want you to take responsibility of your actions, be accountable, be honest and decent, admit your wrongdoings, understand what you did wrong, and never do it again. That you say it would be "cowering in a corner, curling up in a ball, and die" says a lot about your values.

"employing nineteen of the most prejudiced Democrat lawyers they could find in Washington, DC (some of whom had worked for the Clinton family and others who had been at her “victory party”), magically without a single Republican"

Another false claim.

Also, "the most prejudiced Democrat lawyers"... you don't even know who they are. 

Find out, they are pretty amazing people. First on the list is a woman who left a career in hospital administration to become a lawyer and to hunt terrorists because of 9/11. Admirable and impressive. 

How did you change your life because of 9/11?
In no what so ever way. 

The only things I find about you and 9/11 is
when you 2018 posted "Injecting politics today is disgraceful and only shows how irrelevant and deranged you’ve become",
and 2020 "As we reflect on the attacks of 9/11, never forget how Democrats talk about our first responders who saved lives that day"

So... you admit being disgraceful and you know you are irrelevant and deranged. ("I might not be a fancy former head of the FBI or anything, but at least I can remember things I’ve written myself." Obviously...)

It is fascinating how you love the word "magically". You use it four times in this book.

Your name was not cleared, Junior. There was collusion with Russia, there was interference with the elections, and if you were really a patriot and loved USA and democracy, you would do your best to clear this thing up. But you care only about yourself and your precious daddy. His name wasn't cleared either, BTW.
So, of course the Democrats weren't celebrating. Neither were the Republicans who understand anything about what happened.

Either you are so stupid you don't understand that you were being used, or you think your audience is so stupid, that they will believe what you say.
Trumpettes surely are. I can't wait to read the reviews on GoodReads! :-D

"the only president in the history of this country who was elected without the approval of the ruling class"
Ruling class? That's a socialist concept. It means the rich capitalists. What on earth might you mean by it?

"the ruling class: the bipartisan political establishment and its adjuncts in Big Tech, the corporate media, Big Business and Woke Capital, the academy, and across the commanding heights of American society.
- Trump's Greatest Achievements
(a lot of words saying basically nothing. Based on the logic "you are calling me racist, so I can't be!")

Oh my goodness! ROTFLMAO

I suppose "ruling class" means what ever these people want it to mean. Liberal intelligentsia? Secular humanists?

And Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.

"It was started by people who hate Donald Trump more than they love America."
Total bullshit. If only Trump loved America more than he loves himself. Biden won. You lost. You are wasting the resources for nothing but your daddy's fragile self esteem, and you are obstructing the smooth transition that will cost American lives. For nothing but your daddy's fragile self esteem. Pitiful.

Yes, you are supposed to let the investigation carry on in peace. Especially if you have nothing to fear. Now you were fighting tooth and nail every step, calling people names, and all for nothing. Not only did you make yourself appear very suspect, as if you had something to hide, but you also proved to everyone that your daddy is a toothless old fool. The most powerful man cannot stop the investigation even when he desperately wants to and tries everything he can. Talk about clown show.

All that fight for nothing. The investigation went on, Mueller report was published, and then you were saved by crooked lawyers. William Barr... well... US attorney general, nice reward. I hope it was a good year, because he is going down and hard.

BTW, I'm sorry to say this, but you might see yourself as a mighty word warrior, but I couldn't quote one thing, not even "he said something like this". I don't remember seeing anyone quote you or get upset about anything you tweeted.

Oh, I just checked.
I remember the "Teaching Socialism to my daughter" tweet :-D I responded. So kind of you to remember all the children who can't go Trick and Treating. :-) (As if... :-D)
Other than that... Donald Trump Jr. compares migrants to animals... Donald Trump Jr. referred to “Saturday Night Live,” a.k.a. “SNL,” as “S&L". That was a good one :-D Sharing conspiracy theories and tweeting about food. 


"my father, the so-called Shakespeare of 140 characters".
Oh, Junior... no-one calls him that.

Have you ever considered that maybe you were doing more harm than good? Maybe you were saying things that weren't so good to be published? Nah, that's probably not it. Not many people were reading your tweets.

There's some implication of that your twitter obsession costed you your marriage. (That and that you inherited "the cheating meme" from your daddy, too.)

"and told me I had probably been right all along to hit the Democrats so hard"

Yeah... 


"As I’ve often said, we couldn’t have colluded to order a cheeseburger, much less coordinated an espionage campaign with a foreign power."
But somehow, magically, you managed both.
Maybe because you met the Russians in May and June, when your dad had basically won the primaries, and there was nothing much to do for you.

"Almost all of us came from walks of life other than politics, meaning we were used to actually working for a living."
Hmm... but the White House claims Trump works hard every day, sometimes 24 hour days, sometimes fo hard he doesn't have time to eat. What is it? Do politicians - like the president - actually work, or not?

What does he DO?
And how can he still be fat when he doesn't have time to eat?

Anyway, back to this book.

"The Clinton campaign sought out and paid for foreign operatives to do research on its opponents."
Did they? I assume you are referring to the Steele dossier.

I'm sorry, Junior, but when it was obvious that your dad would get the electorate votes, Hillary Clinton graciously conceded. Like normal, sane people, who play by the rules, do. Not like your daddy who's hanging on the presidency crying. We know we lost, even though we also know we won the popular vote. Everyone knows that, except apparently you people.  There is no "do-over".
You seem to think there is. Is that why you are fighting the inevitable right now? You think you don't need to care about the election results? Joe Biden won, both the popular vote and the electorates. 

The Russia collusion "story" was something that was found out, and everyone who cares about free and un-tampered elections in USA should be concerned.

Adam Schiff: ‘Ample’ evidence of Trump-Russia collusion ‘in plain sight’
"what we’re talking about here is the difference between conduct that rises to the level of criminality and conduct that is deeply unethical, unpatriotic and corrupt that may not be criminal.”
We'll just wait til next year and then we'll see. You really should be grateful that he lets your dad play his last days in the White House. Maybe he shouldn't let him... maybe no-one should. God knows what he manages to break these last two months.

"they also had free rein to take down just about everyone who had ever associated with Donald J. Trump, from his close associates and friends to the people who share his last name."
Nah, just those who are deplorable. You know, the racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic. I have no problems with Melania and Barron. Tiffany doesn't seem to have any crap on her name either. Your mother seems to be OK as well, and your aunts and cousins. Eric and Ivanka on the other hand seem to be exactly as twisted as you and your father, and Ivanka's husband. Lara seems to be a deplorable as well.

"I mean, I’m old enough to remember when Barack Obama made fun of Mitt Romney by telling him “the 1980s called and want their foreign policy back.”"
Yeah.... you were 35. Were you sober enough to remember what it was response to? Mitt Romney said Russia was USA's biggest political foe. It was 11 years after 9/11. Remember that? Obama had managed to get Osama bin-Laden killed 2011. Most other Americans thought Iran, China, and North Korea were the biggest threat to USA 2012. Most people didn't think Russia was the enemy any longer. You were comparing Putin to Obama, and wishing he was USA's president. You should be old enough to remember that, but apparently, miraculously and magically, you have forgotten that.

Anyway, it's not Russia who is the villain in this story. It's your dad. He doesn't only collude with Russia, he colludes with Ukraine and China as well. He isn't picky, he'll collude with anyone just it benefits him, because he really is that stupid. You, as well. I'm starting to believe you didn't even understand that what you were doing was illegal, unethical and unpatriotic. 

"And if it weren’t for the fact that I was probably number two on the guy’s kill list for years"
I'm so sorry to tell you that you are wrong. You are small fish.

"I’m not against old people; I’ve always respected my elders."
Yeah, sure. Tell that one about Red Riding Hood as well. BTW, Robert Mueller is your dad's age. Like George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden. I don't think you understand what "respect" means.

The Democrats were nice to Mueller. The Republicans were like a pack of hounds.
What have you been watching? Do you know who were Democrat and who were Republican?

BTW, the Trump-Russia dossier was not "the genesis of the entire investigation". The investigation was opened in July 2016, and the Steele dossier came up December 2016.

"They’ll believe anything that confirms what they already believe, and they’ll call anything that contradicts what they already believe a lie."
Nope, that's you.

"If you’re trying to find the starting point of this lunacy, look no further than the night of the 2016 election, right around the hours of midnight to six o’clock in the morning, when the craziest wing of the American left finally lost its mind for good. DJT has been living rent-free in their heads ever since—a strong real estate play from the best in the game."
So poetic. 

I wonder... whom have Trump been talking about since 2008? Barack Obama. He's still talking about him.You are all still talking about him. How's that for "real estate play" from a total rookie? 
Also... have you heard of president Bush lately? Or President Clinton? The only ex presidents anyone wants to hear about are Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter. I don't see any relevance of Trump after 2021. I assume he will keep yapping, and cement his legacy as an angry old man. Did you know that President Obama has more Twitter followers than President Trump?

About losing minds...

Look at these people.
On the left Hillary Clinton's supporters protesting after their loss 2016.
On the right Donald Trump's supporters protesting after their loss 2020.
Who do you think looks angrier? Who do you think have lost their mind? Who do you think lives in a  filter bubble and echo chamber, unable to accept any other "reality" than that that fits their wishes?
Yeah. It's not the Lefties.

(By the way, Trumpettes, whether Trump concedes or not, Biden will be the next President of USA. And as Donald Trump jr. so eloquently put it - if you are American, he will be your President whether you like it or not.)

"right after the networks finally called the presidential election"

The NETWORKS!!! Oh!

Yeah. When the networks finally called the presidential election 2020, what did your poss do? Start screaming about election fraud. Count the votes! Stop the count! Started spreading conspiracy theories in all over social media and in the seedy right wing networks.

We know why we lost 2016. So we didn't lose 2020. And I hope we'll get even better 2024.

Your father's victory was the worst possible thing that could have happened, (election wise) because he's a clueless idiot and narcissistic asshole. A world had come to an end. We realized that you folks don't give a damn about facts, reality, truth, honor, decency, rules... that you don't understand how the US democracy works, and you don't even want to know. The four years of Donald Trump's presidency has just proven that.

The "Russian spy story" started already half a year before the election.

"Then it did everything it had told us the Trump supporters would do if Hillary won. Think about it. For weeks leading up to the election, we had been hearing about all the horrible things Donald Trump would force his supporters to do if he lost. DJT wouldn’t accept the defeat they were all so sure was coming. The editorial boards at the New York Times and the Washington Post both ran many articles warning us about the chaos that was about to ensue. According to popular opinion, Trump supporters were going to riot in the streets, refuse to accept the results of the election, and begin some kind of underground coup against the duly elected president, Hillary Clinton. They would start a second civil war. The streets would become absolute anarchy."

Is that so?
Let's see.

"Supporters were going to riot in the streets"
2016: Most protests were peaceful. A lot of people all over the world were protesting. There were riots, in Oakland.Thirty protesters were arrested and three officers were injured.

2020: most protests were peaceful. People didn't protest anywhere else but in USA. There were riots. 230 people were arrested, and three officers killed.
On top of that, people's homes are being under siege by Trump supporters. That part they have come up all by themselves.

Hillary lost the electorates and conceded.
Trump lost the electorates and started screaming about election fraud, followed by his loyal supporters. None of you admits you lost.

The "strangest spy-movie stories I've ever heard..." You haven't heard a lot of "spy-movie stories", have you? Do you believe that if you repeat something often enough, it becomes true? Do Trumpettes? Does your dad? I can't wait to see the reviews of this book...

The Russia Collusion case started surfacing before the election. It had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton, Democrats, the fact that we lost the election (which we admitted. You confuse us not liking it with us not accepting it.)

These are the faces of people who just received very bad news. 


These are the faces of people who refuse to accept the news.

 
"and begin some kind of underground coup against the duly elected president"

Democrats? No.
"underground group of online keyboard warriors called "the Resistance", prominent journalists, liberal activists, and actors..." Doesn't sound like an underground group. Sounds like people using social media to express their opinion. That they are better than you in that isn't really their fault. I can understand it seems like that to you, after all, you are your father's son.
Is that suppression of free speech? No. Do you think "free speech" is that you can say anything you want and no-one has any objections? Or that people express their objections in a civil manner, and don't hurt your feelings? No. Just like you can spout any crap out of your orifices, so can anyone. That's the magic of free speech. The limitations arrive when you start causing real damage to people with what you say. Like when you spread people's addresses online, or tell them to go punish the enemies and to revenge imaginary offenses.

Have you ever been "attacked by an outraged mob online" without having said something stupid first? I'm 100% certain of that you haven't. People like you just aren't used to take any responsibility of their actions. You don't even understand what "accountability" means.
Have you never joined the outraged mob to attack people? Uh, why am I asking you this, we know you have. Just look up on the 9/11 discussion. 

It is funny to look at how your whole crowd cries over people getting what they deserve. 

Shall we discuss QAnon? It is without a doubt created to cause harm to anyone who opposes Trump.
Whereas Antifa and BLM are not associated with Democrats or Hillary Clinton in any way.
Antifa is anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and anti-state, and a lot of Righties are authoritarian, capitalist fascists. Antifa started already in 1930s. They think Democrats are also too "right wing" politically.
BLM protest against the killing of black people, and it started during Obama's presidency.
There's more association with Neo-Fascists and Republicans - a lot of them are open and vocal supporters of Trump, and you are not denouncing their violence and crimes committed during their protests. Unless you accuse Antifa and BLM of it. 

Now, I wouldn't associate Neo-Fascists with Republicans - most Republicans are sane, decent people who do take responsibility of their own actions, and don't fraternize with Alt-Right Deplorables. That Trump basks himself in the light of the Alt-Right's torches doesn't mean all Republicans are fascists. Let's keep assigning the fault on the real culprits, and avoid the association fallacy, OK? 

According to Donnie, if he doesn't know that he is committing a fallacy, it's not a fallacy. Don't be a Donnie.

Continues in part III

Junior is triggered, part I


Donald jr. dedicates his book to the Deplorables. The racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic.
He says "I am proudly one of you".
Meaning he says he made America great with his blood, sweat, and tears. :-D
When and how has he ever bled, sweated or cried for USA?

And is the work ethic of Liberals really worse than the racist, sexist, homophobic xenophobes? I don't think so.
Is it patriotism to tear the USA in half and spread hate and lies? I don't think so.
What are these values? I keep hearing people  say that word, but no-one explains what they mean with it.

"I'm not mad".
No-one cares.

"Look, everybody is called a traitor once or twice in their lives, right? Everybody gets falsely accused and wrongly investigated by the FBI and has to testify in front of Congress for over thirty hours, answering the same stupid politically motivated questions over and over again, don’t they? And, everybody has an army of social justice warriors combing through every word they’ve ever said online to find something to be offended by, correct?"
Er... no.
But most other people haven't tried to buy information from Russia, haven't had meetings with Russians, and don't spout xenophobic crap and lies online either. Maybe it was because of something you did and said?

"my plan was to write a feel-good book about forgiveness and healing"
Then why didn't you? Because you couldn't name it Kumbaya? WTF?

"I was even going to call it Kumbaya instead of Triggered , but it seemed that title was already taken, probably by one of the 2,467 Democrat candidates currently running for president."
There are no books named Kumbaya, there were about as many Democrat candidates running for president 2019, as there were Republican candidates running for president 2015, and there are several books that share a title, so "title was already taken" doesn't work.
I bet your racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic fans think that was funny.
I bet you think you were really funny.
I think you are boring, and you started your book with lies.

So you decided to write a vindictive and wounding feel-bad book. "a tour of all the craziest, most destructive ideas that the left has come up with in the last decade or more."

Frankly, I don't think you tried enough. I don't think you tried at all. I think you knew you never intended to write a feel-good book about forgiveness and healing, even when you wrote those words. I think you were deliberately lying, trying to be funny.
You just told everyone that you don't think forgiveness and healing are important. You think trauma is funny. You want to see USA being ripped apart. 

I suppose your racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic friends agree with you.

"sleepy liberal losers, socialist crybabies, and hypocritical politicians and media"
This is what these people are afraid of. So afraid that they write books about them.

"dispel the conspiracy theory on the left that I was born with horns"
I have never heard anyone say this.
On the other hand, there is a conspiracy theory on the right that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are demons, or at least possessed by some. Alex Jones spoke about it a lot, and Trumpettes repeat that as if it was the truth.
I'm sorry to tell you this, junior, but I don't think anyone thinks of you as someone important enough to have conspiracy theories about.

"Before we get going, however, I need to make a few disclaimers."

But, of course. This is code meaning "this book is fiction".

"No one on the campaign has been consulted, and I doubt any of them would care very much anyhow."
Yes, we know. They don't care very much about personal attacks and lies, after all, that's much of what Trump's campaign is all about.

"I’m just saying what they all know to be true but don’t want to take the heat for saying in public"
Ah... you claim to be speaking the truth, which means that your disclaimer of it being "just your opinion" means silch.

"I guess that’s just one of those things that got passed down in the genes!"
No, it's a meme. (I'm not talking about the internet meme, I'm talking about the actual scientific term. You didn't inherit it in your genes, you learned it by example.)
And as most people who boast about being brutally honest, Trumps can't take criticism. Just see this one whine. He wrote a whole book to get his whine out. He wrote several. :-D


"As much as I might joke around, I am not actively trying to offend anyone with what I’m about to say"
ROTFLMAO
Yeah, because "a lying ass clown" and "feeble old fool" couldn't possibly offend anyone

"I’m just making arguments, backing them up with facts, and putting them out into the world, the same way millions of people have done with millions of books before mine."
"I'm totally innocent and you can't make me accountable for anything I say, because I'm just... "
Uh. I wish your dad had taught you to be a man and take responsibility of your words and actions, instead of being a whiny liar and proud of it. (Oh, and racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic.)

With other words, if you choose to read this book, VERIFY EVERY CLAIM.

"offering a reasoned antidote to all the hysterical bullshit used to be called discourse".
No. Discourse is communication in words. It has never meant anything else, and no-one has ever said it's allowed only to some people, or it's only discourse when some people do it.

"Hate speech" is a form of discourse.

Frankly, I have just started to read this book, but judging from what's on the very first page of this book, I'm expecting more emotionally motivated ranting and whining with not much connection to anything reasoned or even truthful. AKA hysterical bullshit.

"I also know that as the son of a rich white guy living in 2019, I’m essentially not allowed to have an opinion anymore, let alone express that opinion in public."

Oh, dear, little poor rich boy, you are NOT ALLOWED to have an opinion and express it! Boohoo!
Somehow you managed to write a book and get it published, too.

I'm over 35 and haven't spent the last few years on a college campus, on Twitter, or in an asylum (and if you have difficulties in telling the difference, you really need to get some help), and I know what "triggered" means, because it's a psychological term established by psychologists trying to help WWI veterans with shell shock and war neurosis, called today PTSD. "Triggered" became a common term in the 1980s. It is a serious issue. People react on different things that make them relive a traumatic event, and they experience different events traumatic - I mean, to you being investigated about the Trump SoHo project must have been traumatic, and the fact that your daddy bought you free doesn't make it any less traumatic, considering that you have so little experience of things going wrong. It really cannot be denied or ignored just because most people have experienced more objectively traumatic things.

I know you have no what so ever compassion or understanding of how someone could find your dad's tweets triggering, but that doesn't make it BS.
I also know that you think post traumatic stress disorder is also BS, which means that people who are triggered have "fragile sensibilities", because THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING TRAUMATIC. It's like mocking someone with an open wound because it hurts when you push your finger in it! "It doesn't hurt me if you poke me, so you are being just a crybaby!"

But, sure, mocking sensitive people suffering from memories of traumatic experiences, that's what Trumps stand for. You don't like "losers" and "suckers" like the American soldiers who died in the war, the POWs and the Veterans. PTSD is for weaklings.

I know people should just ignore everything your dad tweets, because it's just meaningless crap, but your daddy happens to be the President. People who don't give a dime about your opinion, mind your father's.
When he says Covid is a hoax, his followers believe him.
When he claims the election is a fraud, his followers believe him, even when it's proven wrong.
Because of your dad's tweets, there are people in intensive care screaming and swearing at the nurses, dying of this disease they don't believe exists.
Because of your dad's tweets, people are harassing Sikhs.
Because of your dad's tweets, a man beat up a 13 years old kid, so that the boy's skull cracked. Because of your dad's tweets, the guy didn't think he did anything wrong. Because of your dad's tweets, people don't dare to go out alone after dark of fear of real violence.
Your dad's followers are much more aggressive, violent, irascible, and reactive than his opponents, freaking out over silly things. Like someone laughed at them at the movie theater. "He didn't wish me Merry Christmas!"

"If you say capitalism is better than socialism, they freak out."
Have you ever actually seen anyone do that?

"If my father says America is the greatest country in the world, they lose it."
They just tell you it's not, and prove it, and then you lose it and start screaming.

"If you tell them the cat video they posted isn’t that cute, they have a complete breakdown"
Why would you tell someone the cat video they posted isn't that cute? If you don't think it's cute, don't say anything. Didn't your parents teach you "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all"? Of course they didn't. A cartoon bunny has better upbringing than you.



Why aren't you talking about the REAL triggers? Like when your dad boasts about killing babies, or stripping away human rights?

You probably don't understand the real consequences of your dad's tweets, because you don't understand what Presidents do and how their words impact the world, and you think it's all just jokes, fun and games all days long. It's for you, so why would anyone else care?

The bar for what's considered "triggering" gets lower and lower every day, because the traumatic events keep happening, more and more. You really don't understand this thing with actions, reactions, and consequences.

For example, asking someone where they're from. Totally fine, if you ask it with real interest and accept the answer. If you start insisting, "no, where are you REALLY from, because you are colored and only white people are REALLY from USA", then you are being an asshole. Not that you would know it, being a poor rich white boy, and self-acclaimed racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic.

I can explain the microaggression right now. It's when you say something that might sound nice, but is in reality not nice at all. Like when someone asks you who's your REAL father. No, REAL real father. Because, come on, you have to admit it, you don't look anything like Don sr.

 So... what did Mueller actually say about Donald Trump? He didn't say "the president of the United States is not an agent of Russia". That's what the President said about himself. Which is exactly what he would say if he was, wouldn't he? Seriously, if he wasn't, why didn't he just let them investigate the issue and prove him innocent? Now it looks highly suspicious, just like that thing with Trump SoHo.

First page and he's managed to bore me out. Just some 300 pages or so left. *sigh*

The writing flows nicely, I just hope he had something to say.

So, he throws in another scary idea of how the freedom of expression might be limited, even in as short a time it took him from writing this book to publishing it (less than a year, and in USA where his daddy is the President - how probable is that scare? Not at all. But his racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic audience will buy it. Gullible much?)

"I could be brought up on charges..."
Yeah. If you claim someone did something, you can be sued for defamation, and if you can't prove the claim is true, you will be condemned as well. No disclaimers or your daddy's money can save you from that. Just look at all the memoirs out there, and how many people have been sued for defamation over "their opinion". But, luckily for you, no-one cares what you have to say.

I hate the "Do not continue reading this book if you don’t blah blah blah" crap. That's just trying to cover your tracks even before you start doing something that needs covering up. The truth is that if I don't find you funny it's not because I don't have a sense of humor, it's because you aren't funny.

"---are American but somehow, magically, Donald Trump is not your president"
Hmm... How many times I have heard "Barack Obama is not my president", and how many times will I hear "Joe Biden is not my president"? 


And then he lists "offensive things" that aren't offensive, and not a lot of people have opposed any of those things.
He tries to tell people to stop reading this book, and we all know everyone will ignore that part. Why is it in this book? Is this supposed to be another joke?

If there are socialists in the Congress, that is the people's choice and will. If it's not yours, no-one cares. You are not the only American in USA.

"allowed anti-Semitism to run rampant throughout our government" and half your racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic audience threw out the book.
BTW I'm 100% sure of that what you mean with "anti-Semitism" is not antisemitism. It should be written "antisemitism", because it is a specific concept. It is a very specific concept. And it has nothing to do with Israel. I think I have talked quite a lot about the issue in this blog.

"We've allowed our most important media institutions to be run by angry mobs and leftist activist “journalists” on Twitter"

You have ALLOWED? You have ALLOWED people to practice their first amendment rights?

They don't need your permission to run media institutions. They are private corporations, who run themselves as they themselves choose, and if you wish to keep running your private company as you please, don't try to entice your dad's deplorable mob into trying to control things that are not yours to be controlled.

The same way, if you want the rightist activist "journalists" to speak - and tweet - you don't try to limit anyone else's liberty to express themselves. It was only some 100 words ago you were whining about being scared of it becoming illegal to discuss ideas, and now you are screaming about other people discussing ideas, just because they trigger you. *sigh*
Typical contard.

"we have completely ceded control of what we can and cannot say in public".
If that was true, this book would never have been published, and you, your dad, and your deplorables would have been banned from the social media.

"My father says a place is infested with rats, the mob cries racism."

Had that been the only thing he said, and had he spoken of a place that was really infested with rats, no-one would have reacted. But that wasn't what he did, now, was it?

"My father says he likes taco bowls from Trump Tower, the left cries racism." 

Again, that wasn't the only thing he said. Also, most people decried hypocrisy. "I love Hispanics, as long as they stay out of USA, except I love all the things we can appropriate from them and the best "taco bowl" is the whitewashed bland version. With absolutely no vegetables."

"Since my father announced his run for the presidency, screaming racism has become the Easy button of left-wing politics, just like in those old Staples commercials."

Well, the Easy Button is a great invention, but it's a really bad analogy. And "the liberal “trump card"... *sigh* That doesn't work either.
You know why people are screaming racism? BECAUSE YOUR DAD KEEPS SPOUTING IT. 

You know, just because people you don't like keep saying something, it doesn't mean it's not true.

I know the Trump way of dealing with problems is to ignore it doesn't exist. "Covid, covid, covid, come 4th of November, it doesn't exist any longer!"

Sorry, still exists and still kills people and you still do nothing. 

"The problem with using racism as a label for everything you don’t like, of course, is that racism is still a real problem that persists in this country. Real people face real racism every day. "

Oh... it almost sounds as if you cared.
Wait a minute... what are you referring to? What is this racism you are thinking about now? "Racism" against white people.
Ah, now I understand. Yes, he truly cares.

The Democrats have been calling racism when they see it - and your daddy has been a generous provider in that - and you keep denying it every time when a Democrat calls it, because it's a Democrat calling it, and you keep creating these strawmen "math is hard - RACISM!"
(Math isn't hard but you don't know what's 17 times 6, even though you've had 14 years to count it out. But I suppose you think I'm being unfair bringing that up now, and it's because I'm racist against rich little white boys like you.)

"And when you use it as a buzzword to try to win a losing argument, it does a disservice to those who live under it. People have become numb."

Not people who know what racism is and who live under it every day. Like Elijah Cummings, Bernard C. Jack Young, John Lewis, and Victor Blackwell, who all called the attack on Congressman Elijah Cummings racism. But I suppose, the victims of racism don't get to call racism, it's only you. You know better than Black people what disservices them.

About "trying to win a losing argument"... it's only "losing argument" because you fight dirty. If you actually followed the rules, and discussed with facts, we would win.

Just look at this book! Only a couple of pages in, and there's lies, unsupported claims, strawmen, red herrings, oversimplifying, personal attacks, whining...

And all those "we are not allowed..." Who's stopping you? Nobody.
And you are supposed to be a brave citizen who dares to speak of things no-one dares to speak. Pitiful.

"Even what passed for rather amazing comedy just a few years ago is now considered offensive and regressive by the left."

I don't think that has ever passed for "rather amazing comedy", but times change. People don't laugh at things they laughed 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 50 years ago. Although your daddy probably does. He probably thinks mister Yunioshi is funny. You probably think he's funny, and don't understand why some people think it's racist.
Dave Chappelle has grown old and cynical and isn't funny any longer.
So what is this "online outrage mob" doing? They say they don't like his show.
Oh the horror.

Let's talk about "cancel culture".
In 2003, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks said "We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."
They were "canceled".
She apologized FOUR DAYS LATER, but the audience didn't care. THE CONSERVATIVE AUDIENCE. The boycott continued, they received death threats.
So for Donald Trump jr. to whine about cancel culture - yeah, sure. Remove the beam from your own damned eye, you hypocrite.

"“wokeness” (I’ll explain these terms as we go)"

I wonder if he does. It's not that hard. Being woke is being aware of issues, especially social and racial justice issues.

"Anything that makes the veins in a few liberal foreheads bulge out is fine by me."

That's about it. He's trying hard to piss people off for the sake of pissing people off.
Interestingly enough, an internet troll is a person who starts flame wars or intentionally upsets people on the Internet by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages.
Donald Trump jr. openly admits being a troll and his book being trolling.

Sorry, but I'm not trolled. I'm just bored.

(- So why are you reading the book and posting your reactions? This much reactions because you are bored?
- Yeah. This much reactions, because the best way to meet trolls is to publish accurate information and counter their lies. It would be nice to have some Contards coming in here and reacting, so that I get more material, maybe some of them could even discuss some issues, but more than that I assume SOMEONE reads this and thinks over what I said, and maybe gets off the cult and starts thinking for themselves. Come on, you keep asking for someone to take on your claims, and I'm doing it. Rational, reasonable, realistic, real, honest, open, fact-based discourse. Don't cower out now. Bah. He's gone. Typical.)

The bird feeder

 

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.
What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.  

Then came the shit. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table ... everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.
So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.
I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to be ..... quiet, serene.... and no one demanding their rights to a free meal. 

Now let's see.....

Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education, and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen. 

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. 

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; Your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English. Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to 'press one ' to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than ”ours” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. 

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.  

If you agree, pass it on; if not, just continue cleaning up the shit! 

Well, I'll continue cleaning up the shit, starting with people like you. 

Let's talk about bird feeders.

A lot of people have bird feeders, with no problems. So... what made YOU have these special problems?

"the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue."

Birds don't build nests on areas where people walk all the time. If you didn't use the porch, patio, table and barbecue, what's the problem with the birds using them? If you did, you are lying about the nests.
One problem solved with fact checking.

"Then came the shit. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table ... everywhere!"

Birds crap. Everyone who feeds birds know there will be a lot of spillage and guano around the bird feeder. That's the nature of birds. So if someone puts a bird feeder on their back porch, they are idiots. Because if they have a back porch, they also have a back yard, and just one yard from the back porch will keep the bird crap out of the back porch. One problem solved with just a LITTLE common sense and planning before jumping into action.

"They would dive bomb me and try to peck me"

There are no instances of birds attacking their feeder. So you are lying again.
Another problem solved with fact checking.

"They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night"

Another lie. Most birds are totally silent when it's dark. Some birds sing during the dusk and dawn. Most birds only make noise during the mating season. The birds who feed on bird feeders don't "sit on the feeder and squawk and scream". They fly in, eat, fly out. Some might argue with each other, like tits and sparrows, but most of the time a bird feeder is pretty silent. 

Fact checking solved this problem as well.

Let's see how much of the other part of your story can be solved with fact checking?

"Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education..."

Yes, that is what governments do. They don't do it to everyone, though. To be eligible to get the "free food, subsidized housing, free medical care and free education", there are conditions. Illegal aliens aren't eligible to any of this stuff.

"and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen."

 I seriously don't see the problem with this. Unauthorized immigrants cannot get citizenship through their child who is a natural born citizen, because they don't meet the eligibility requirements, and the child born in USA, grown up in USA, never have been living anywhere but USA, should of course be considered as USonian as all the other people who were born in USA, grown up in USA and never been living anywhere else but USA. 

"Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands."

Sounds like a lemmel invasion. 

Looks like it, as well. Definitely more people than in Million MAGA March. And this is maybe 4000 people?

So, what the truth behind this picture? 

This is from the Southern border of Mexico, 2018. 

USA got so scared seeing this picture, the President started a tweeting campaign, called people names, threatened to make the situation in Central America even harder than it was, and then USA send 5000 soldiers to guard the border.

Most of them, if any, didn't reach USA. 

Mexico offered people asylum, work permits, temporary ISDs, medical attention, housing and schooling in exchange of them following Mexican laws and staying in South.

About 1/4 continued to US border and then waited to enter USA totally legally, through the proper procedings.

11 of them tried to sneak into USA.

There was no invasion, or mass immigration. 

The caravan is not immigration; it’s an invasion

It's not illegal immigration, just because you think the system stinks.

These people tried to come to USA in search of a better life, fully intending to do right for themselves. They intend to do it legally and fairly, and not to cheat the system of the country that they are so desperate to live in. Those who came were vetted and asked a series of questions, and given entrance or turned away, if their answers weren't satisfactory. They are happy to be in USA and brought determination and positive aspects of their culture with them, and they are prepared to assimilate into US culture and values, not because "they understood they were no long just an Italian", but because they have sacrificed a lot to rescue their lives and the lives of their children from intolerable situation they had gotten caught into without any possibility to change anything, and they are grateful, and also because they believe the great lie about American Dream, and believe that if they just work hard and follow the laws and customs, they could make something of themselves. Which has always been the thing with immigrants. Not one of them forgets that they are Italian, Chinese, Irish, German, Honduran, Guatemalan, Salvadorean - Not one of them thinks they aren't proud American if they receive the citizenship. It's the other "proud Americans" who thinks they aren't.

"if you were an immigrant trying to seek entry and you could either run off and stay in the United States or face the possibility of being turned down and sent back to where you came from what would you choose?"
Stay and face the possibility of being turned down. Which is what most refugees do. 92% of asylum seekers attended their court hearings. Because if you run off, you make sure you will be denied, and you limit your possibilities to make yourself a life in USA, because you will never get a legal ID, legal job, be able to legally own property, or receive any of the government hand-downs, and also you risk being caught and send back to where you came from, without a possibility to ever come back, and what's the point in living in USA then?

"Just to prove my point Mollie Tibbets was a college student at Iowa University that was murdered by Cristhian Rivera who was an illegal immigrant if he wouldn’t have been able to get in illegally Mollie Tibbets may still be alive."
Mollie Tibbets' family has asked people not to use her murder for political purposes.
Was Cristhian Rivera an immigrant? As far as I know, he was a Mexican migrant worker. But let's call him "illegal immigrant". Who hired him? Who gave a job to this "illegal immigrant"? A Republican. And when asked about why he employed a person with no legal paperwork, they lied. Hmm...
"These undocumented immigrants are taking jobs from actual citizens, they don’t pay taxes, and are pushing down wages."
They are given jobs by Republican employers, who pays them black, so who is it who pushes down wages? The Republican employers.

"If you had a batch of cookies and you were told that there’s a possibility some of them could be poisoned, would you still blindly eat one without making sure it wasn’t poisoned?"
People aren't cookies. I would have no problems what so ever to throw away batches of cookies. Cookies are insignificant. People are not.
A better comparison would be to say you are dying of hunger and you are told that there is a couple of bad beans in the chili, a couple of people have died having eaten it, but most are OK. Would you still eat it? I would.
The same way I would assume that the venting system works well enough, most of the people involved are decent, good people who do their job well, and most of the immigrants are hard-working, good people who just want to give their children a better chance in life than they themselves got.
Now... why won't you? Would you run and make a lawless of yourself, because you just want to get rich and get hand-downs and commit crimes?

What Is a Sanctuary City Anyway?
Immigration 101: What is a Sanctuary City?

And what "invasion to our culture, our country, and our way of life"
How is your culture being invaded?
How is your way of life being invaded?
Who your neighbor is has absolutely NOTHING to do with your way of life, and you shouldn't have anything to do with theirs.
What comes to culture... I assume you are a WASP. White English-speaking and identify yourself as Christian. So take away EVERYTHING from your culture that is NOT brought from West Europe. I will be kind and allow the French, German and Scandinavian influences. But no South European, not Middle Eastern, no African, Asian or South American. Which means that say goodbye to corn, tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. Bye bye to Tex-Mex. No pizza, pasta or Chinese takeaways. Come on, food is the most obvious cultural expression, and if you are against cultural exchange, be honest about it. Doesn't matter that it was done in your home when you were growing up. It's still Latin culture.

To believe that the descendants of "legal immigrants" in USA are the children of "the best" is so conceited that it's hilarious. :-D


"Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services"

Did they? The taxes went up during WWII. And have been coming down steadily ever since. When Obama was the President, the tax rate was lower than since Jimmy Carter. So... when do you suppose this "sudden tax rate rise" happened? 

"small apartments are housing 5 families"

None of your business.

"you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor"

That's how it is in every country. It has nothing to do with immigrants, legal or not. When I have been at an emergency room (3 times in my life, the last 50 years, in 2 different countries), it has always been full, and of the normal citizens of the town. Here you have to have an ID to be able to come in, and you get an ID only if you can prove you are who you say you are. So no undocumented immigrants there. 

"Your child's second grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English"

Has this actually happened anywhere? I haven't found any news articles, opinion pieces, blog entries, or any other complaints. 

"Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box"

So... you don't now know it's corn flakes, because it doesn't only say it's corn flakes but also copos de maiz, and you don't have the slightest idea what that is? Or what? What could possibly be a problem with food items with information in several languages?
And, guess what? I haven't found any images of Corn Flakes in a bilingual box. Maybe you could post a photo of this offensive item?

"I have to 'press one ' to hear my bank talk to me in English"

Such a hassle! Aren't they afraid that you might get carpal tunnel syndrome for pressing buttons? 

"people waving flags other than ”ours” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties"

Ok... again... where? Who? Which flags? These are the only "other than "ours"" flags I've seen people wavign, while they were squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties. For some reason I don't think you are referring to them.

What about these people "demanding more rights and free liberties"?

- BLM demands freedom to not be harassed and killed due to the color of their skin and/or ethnicity
In my mind that's obvious they should have that, and it's outrageous that they feel they don't have it already. They aren't demanding more rights than you have, they are demanding the same rights that you take for granted. 

- Slut walks demand the end of the rape culture, that says "boys will be boys", and that one cannot expect a male of the human species could control his behavior and commit crimes, while the females of the human species are responsible for the males' behavior and crimes. Demanding the exact same rights and privileges and liberties for males and females.

- Covid rallies. Demanded... the privilege to go to a hairdresser and risk the hairdresser's life? The right to not wear a mask and spread Covid everywhere? The right to risk other people's live because one believes facts and news are lies? The right to ignore what's happening everywhere on this planet, to be able to believe the lies? Now, that IS demanding more rights to oneself than anyone else has, and "liberties". People claiming their "constitutional rights" are being violated, because they are expected to do what everyone else is doing, and take common responsibility trying to limit the spreading of the virus? And even though more Republicans than Democrats and Independents are sick, you STILL don't understand it!

AND NOT ONE OF THESE IS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DEMANDING HAND-DOWNS.
