Donald Trump’s administration produced a horrifying, blood-spattered video showcasing extreme video-game violence — and the YouTube clip has quickly become an internet hit.

Less than 24 hours after the White House uploaded it to YouTube, the gory and ultra-violent video has been viewed more than 600,000 times. The video was screened during President Trump’s meeting Thursday with game-industry execs, watchdog group reps, lawmakers and other attendees, and released on YouTube afterward.

I watched the video and then I killed my entire family. And then the family next door. Just couldn't help it. I feel a little less murdery now, but if I see a Pokemon clip I may have to go to the local girls school and catch 'em all. For my basement.

I get the feeling Trump is starting to hit his stride. He's got rid of those who were holding him back, now he can start to let loose.

blynk · 3rd April 2018, 17:08

Sounds like the mid term elections campaigning is about to get under way.

Now that Facebook is out of the way of fake advertising, I wonder how this will go.

He’s sending a very clear message of “look boys, obstruction of justice ain’t no big thing, I can make those convictions just go away” to everyone currently on Mueller’s interview list.

It's interesting how this has played out. Some are criticising Trump for tipping off the Russians about the attack. But I'm wondering if that wasn't a strategy.

It seems like the US and allies were in a position where they needed to demonstrate the rule of law still matters; you can't get away with using chemical weapons. At the same time there's a strong desire to avoid escalating tensions further by destroying Russian assets in Syria and risking a more serious conflict.

The approach that was taken means some symbolic Syrian targets have been destroyed, while giving Russia time enough to evacuate equipment and personnel so as not to be compelled to respond to their destruction.

Lightspeed · 9th May 2018, 18:13

So US Secretary of State visits Israel, shortly after Israel claims its raided some old Iranian warehouse and has obtained nuclear research materials, Netanyahu presenting the folders and CDs they've obtained with flourish as evidence that Iran is still performing research.

So it's no surprise Trump has pulled out of the nuclear agreement with Iran.

MadMax · 9th May 2018, 22:14

Iranians don't actually care. They all believe these deals come and go.

Lightspeed · 9th May 2018, 23:15

Well they're acting angry. It is to be seen the actual consequences and response.

I'm pretty sure this is something Trump just wanted to do, cause it's a deal Obama made. The Israeli evidence is just a cooked up justification.

Moral of the story: You don't make deals with the United States, you're actually making a deal with whoever's in the hot seat at the time, and the next guy can just undo it.
TL;DR: Deals with the US are pointless.

Juju · 11th May 2018, 10:05

Is Trump simply the first president to be ultra-highlighting the many flaws of the US governmental system, or is it because we're all grown ups now, living in an information riddled age where things aren't as easily swept under the carpet like they could have been from presidential terms passed?

In my very limited knowledge of presidential history, it seems Reagan is the only quasi-modern president to be so representative of all that is wrong with the US gubbermint. The Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era of my life seems relatively mundane compared to Trump - is that because as a younger me I just didn't care, or is it because they weren't as blatant about exploiting their powers as Trump is?

Cyberbob · 11th May 2018, 11:15

Watergate and the Iran-Contra deal are the two that immediately spring to mind.

On a lesser side you've got Clinton's impeachment/perjury/obstruction of justice, Bush Jr's Laywergate and Hillary's private email server in her days as secretary of state for Obama.

Trump's just making more headlines because it's all more controversial, but it won't come to anything until the Comey hammer comes down.

The problem is not Haspel, it’s not John Brennan, it’s not our lack of confidence. The problem is the CIA itself. If the president really cared about our peace, prosperity, and security, he would take steps to end this national disgrace. It’s time to abolish the CIA!

+1

I reckon when Trump first got elected, he started taking steps to do just that... Then the CIA showed him the JFK assassination from an angle no one gets to see.

Is this the motivation for a trade war? Isolate the US, whip up nationalistic furore, set the US on a war path that Trump's ego tells him he'll easily win? After which he gets the rule a grateful world?

If Trump has “arranged” for Justice Kennedy to resign from the Supreme Court, he is a back-room dealer and manipulator entirely unlike the picture of a petulant man-baby Alzheimer’s patient that the media have been painting.
