Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly.”

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like “Gaza is not 4 sale.”

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gaza’s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

      I’d say it looks like dogshit, but I don’t play much and avoid watching him in particular, so maybe it works?

      He’s not a terrible golfer, but nothing about his game is pretty. He plays like what he is. Somebody who plays a ton of golf but has always thought he was too good for lessons and won’t listen to advice.

        nothing about his game is pretty.

        Is that why he looks like he’s about to hack the tee out of the ground? Or is this just an awkward picture?

    All golf courses except those for public use should be appropriated by the state and converted to public housing

      Public housing, natural forests, community gardens. Abolish golf.

      Golf courses take up more land than is used for sustainable energy. They take up huge amounts of water, poison the land with pesticides, reduce biodiversity, and are used by rich parasites only.

      Yes, always has been. That’s partly why the FBI got MLK 360 no-scoped while the KKK are special little boys who get no consequences ever.

      Yes? I mean its not a hard concept. You are a terrorist for diagreeing with the god emperor. The only way back is to do 5 Hail Trumps, 3 Trump Prayers, and 1 apology to Elon Musk.

      Using the label “terrorism” does two things for Telsa dealerships and Trump properties:

      1. They impose unreasonably harsh penalties for the crimes.
      2. Any damages are paid for by … taxpayers.

        People charged as terrorists don’t have the same right to counsel or speech a as any other criminal defendant. It’s pretty fucked.

        It’s my understanding that most insurance doesn’t cover “acts of terror.” So wouldn’t this mean Herr Trump and Musk will need to cover these costs out of pocket, based on their own words?

          Trump ignores the Constitution, what makes you think he cares (or even knows) what’s in the terms and conditions of his insurance contract?

          They will need to cover these costs out of our pockets. Remember, they’ve backdoored the treasury department. This is one of the fun things they’ll probably use that for.

    The GOP version of “Everybody I don’t like is a nazi!” It’s “Everybody I don’t like is a terrorist!” Pathetic

    I dont give a rat’s ass about his stupid golf courses. Waste of good land, they should be turned into public parks. I’m more concerned with harsh punishment for the vandals that are destroying our country.

      Drones definitely seems like a viable attack vector especially on a golf course. I wonder how they could even mitigate unless they had people constantly patrolling with jamming devices
