Don't fall for it. He's a Trump. Somewhere near Mar a Lago is a field with bodies that he's responsible for.

Lol, he is facetiming with some foreign chick who has a Russian boyfriend who beats the shit out of her on camera because she is on FaceTime. How anyone can see rhat chain of events and come to the conclusion that Baron is a good kid is beyond me. He is neck deep in people FAR worse than his father. He will end up being the worst of that family BY FAR.

No problem! Trump will have in place a pay-to-play solution, pronto.

Alex Honnold’s made-for-Netflix free solo of Taipei 101 draws awe – and unease

The Free Solo star will attempt to climb the 1,667ft skyscraper without ropes in a live Netflix broadcast, drawing awe, ethical concern and global attention

www.theguardian.com

Some (maybe) lighter fare for the current events thread… Alex Honnold is going to free solo a sky scraper and Netflix is streaming it live tonight. Ain’t no way in hell I’m watching that.

I watch Free Solo and I was very anxious the whole way through even though I knew the outcome! So yeah, not going to watch this one.

This won’t be anywhere near as difficult of a climb as Honnold did when he free-soloed Freerider on El Capitan. El Cap was 1,200-1,300 feet higher with a high number of different skills and techniques required. There is nothing on this building as difficult as the “Boulder Problem” on El Cap.

Climbing this skyscraper will be a lot of repetitive moves with a ledge every 80 feet.

This will not even get a blip of coverage but it is ridiculous. For one, it ties into this administrations blatantly racist anti-"globalist" agenda. Secondly, it is again Trump deflecting any blame. Trump handled the pandemic terribly. He was an atrocious leader during that time. But of course he is going to blame others and even hurt the country over his pettiness.

lol.

i didn't say he was a good kid. i said he "comes off as an alright kid here."

and i'm sure he's generally a shithead, but the sentiment that he's already neck deep with people worse than jeffrey epstein and stephen miller and will end up worse than his father is moronic and unfounded.

“I don’t know why any of you could be against rooting out corrupt FBI officials, durrrrrrrrrrr…”

- what Trump voters would post here if they hadn’t already left due to embarrassment.

He said "Sorry for being rude" to the emergency operator. For a Trump, that's incredible.

His BFF is Andrew Tate. You also misread my comparison or I wrote it poorly. I didnt say or mean that he has connections with people worse than the people his father is connected with. I said he has connections to people who are worse than his father. And I absolutely believe that to be true of people like the Tates.

These fucking people really are INSANE.
