So since the folks on the right are so vehemently claiming this is completely fake, my honest question is: what if he DID write it? If it’s not fake, and the WSJ decided to use an actual credible source or two, and not set themselves up for a 10 gazillion dollar lawsuit, I assume you’re claiming it’s fake because if it were real, it would be damning. If something came out that objectively proved it was real and Trump wrote/drew it, would you go with the “so what?, we know Trump isn’t a great guy” Or the “that’s horrifying and I now rethink my feelings on him?” I’m assuming the former since you’ve admitted you think the man himself isn’t great. And in that case, why the such stanch denial/claim it’s fake? Honest question. Interested in your take on that possibility. @JDHillFan. @B-Man @Big Blitz

I was commenting on the fact that someone implied earlier that people have only been using em dashes since 2023. Then — when called out on that insanely ridiculous idea — they said, paraphrasing, “well, chatGPT uses it frequently, so it’s a sign that the letter was written by AI.” So I showed a tweet or “Truth” (oh, the irony) where Trump himself used the em dash. And while that post wasn’t his worst by a mile, the grammar is still far below what ChatGPT would use if one were attempting to write a coherent social media post: “I look very much forward….” That’s all.

Well that escalated quickly. Only on PPP can we go from talking about JD Vance to someone’s mom’s drug addiction in just two posts. What a forum!

I’m saying that stating that an em dash means the letter isn’t real is hilarious. The fact that it is somewhat well written is a much bigger potential tell that Drumpf didn’t write it. I have no horse in this race. I do not think Trump is a pedophile. I think he’s an overall horrendous human being but I don’t think he is a pedophile. I think if there was anything in the “file” (the one on the desk; same one that doesn’t exist) he would have been buried long ago. I think he was friendly with a creep. That’s not a crime. But I do want to know who is in the file (the one on the desk; the one that doesn’t exist) and I think we all have a right to know. But I don’t think we ever will. This ***** is just too crazy to make up. The whole thing. But no. I don’t think the use of an em dash proves - or disproves - anything.

Not a problem, don’t be so sensitive. I was just asking if we think Donnie has one window open for Twitter, and another window open for ChatGPT while posting on social media. Because my lord the GPT I use has far superior grammar to what he posts. I guess his version ONLY adds em dashes but doesn’t recommend maybe not using all caps like an angry child or calling people scum in the middle of a Memorial Day post. 😂

So Donnie uses AI to compose his social media posts?

“But there’s an em dash - those didn’t exist before 2023!” 😂

Using Tulsi Gabbard as a source is amazing. Can someone grab her qualifications for me again real quick 😂 I’m certain that’s why nearly every article in the last month uses her title instead of her name since many folks assume the head of National Intelligence has any background in… well… Intelligence. Oh and doesn’t cozy up with some of the worlds most vile leaders. But alas, here we are.

Trump suing someone? Between 1973 and 2016, he’s been involved in over 4,000 lawsuits on one side or the other. That’s not surprising on its own given his career, vomit personality, and business dealings. But when someone averages a lawsuit every 4th day, for some reason him suing the WSJ doesn’t swing the pendulum one way or the other for me.

Whether the story is real or fake, saying the em dash is new is borderline r.etarded.

Just keeping track, the next step in the process is: “well, it’s real, and we knew that the whole time, but we don’t care/it doesn’t matter.” Do I have that right? 🙃 Joking aside, if someone pitched the current and previous administrations as a TV pilot, zero networks would pick it up due to simply being too far fetched. What a day to be alive!

The White House is saying the bruising on his hands is from “frequent handshaking.” Has he been exclusively meeting with Thor, Bruce Smith in his prime, and Bowser from Mario Brothers?

Weird. Did I misspell “measles” as “covid?” Checks note… nope. if he wanted to eliminate the covid vaccine that Trump rushed to market with operation warp speed, I’d be fine with that. To imply vaccines, including the ***** measles vaccine, causes autism? He’s a danger to children.

Cool. So we will get rid of Red Dye #3 and bring back Measles. That’s a fair trade. Thanks Bobby! Edit: to be clear, I do agree with removing those insane dyes in everything - compare US Fruit Loops to UK, for example - but I loathe this man for his anti-vaccine rhetoric.

BDS is strong with this one. And you said the list is in the hands of the government. But the attorney general of the United States told us there was no list. That doesn’t seem to make sense. But you’ll surely clarify.

“In February, I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because I said – I was asked a question about the client list - and my response was, ‘it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed,’ meaning the file along with the JFK and MLK files … That’s what I meant by that.” - The Attorney General of the United States of America. Holy F.uck… what??? Oh, what a cabinet! Oh, per the DOJ you say? Well in that case!…. Come on, man. Maybe pick a department that isn’t currently the laughing stock. And try real hard to not use any whataboutism. Comparing this to another awful cabinet under Biden doesn’t make it any better. Total ***** show. She had a list. A list doesn’t exist. Those two things cannot exist in the same world. This has nothing to do with what he campaigned on. That’s done and over. He’s got 3.5 years of lame duck “do whatever the ***** he wants” time left. This is more than just an apology from Pammy. But I do appreciate that you tried to show some level of objectivity in your last sentence.

Not sure why man, but I trust a man in his 40s who wears a beanie 24/7.

There’s a time and a place. This was neither. Little kids died. If his point is that it was caused - or at least not mitigated - by the actions of the current administration that the families of the victims voted for (which is clearly his “point,”) an op ed piece in a few months would be somewhat more appropriate. But that would also require him to point to specific cuts that happened before the flood that added to the death toll, rather than a cheap shot in a cartoon. But oh boy did he get some clicks.

God I hope no one from the Chiefs message board comes here and sees this thread.

Mine was more of a shart.

It’s stories like this that make it hard for me to believe in a higher power; call him what you will. If there is truly some all powerful all loving being, why would he allow/cause such horror? And in this case, allow it to happen to innocent children who were specifically at a sleepaway camp that was meant to praise the very same “all loving” entity? I give a lot of credit to those who can still live their lives with that belief system because the counter points are just endless. The unimaginable grief the families must be going through right now…. just brutal. So if a belief in something I’ll never understand somehow eases any of that pain, who am I to judge. Just horrific in every way.

i wasn’t wrong! 😉

Another constructive conversation on PPP. Ideas being exchanged and minds being changed; all while acting like adults. Glad to see it.
