# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

So this came up on a post that was claiming that the Alex Pretti "recent ICE victim" is a crisis actor

I was reminded of the writing of Miles Mathis; he frequently argues a bunch of things are fakes and scams like this incident (I guess the logic is that it's easy to fake these things for achieving various goals, so why not fake them?)

Don't totally agree with some of his takes (he's not anti-religious but exerts some skepticism I think's unwarranted with some religious subjects) but basically he finds publicly available info that seems contradictory or unlikely to be true and suggests convincing alternative opinions about what's going on

I've noticed that a lot of women seem to somehow all end up with the exact same sorts of tattoos. Like snakes, spiders, spider webs, centipedes, weird faces, squiggly lines, dates, nunbers etc...

If it weren't for the fact I know a couple girls with these tattoos irl, I'd almost be inclined to think it was AI image generation overlap or something for all the girls on the internet who post pics of themselves with the same tattoo.

Do girls browse other girls and then copy girls they want to be like by copying the tattoos? Is there some sort of common mental thought pattern that woman share where somehow they conclude these are the tattoos they want?

I actually think in some ways it's like a rebellious power move for the women. If they put scary tattoos on their bodies and men still like them, then they win or something. Some weird quasi-feminist and man-hating maneuver. If they ruin their bodies with ugly tattoos then it's a nice fuck you to men for men only liking them for their bodies but then the women still try to look hot to attract men so this doesn't make any sense.

I also wonder if they are a cry for help in some way?

Is there like some secret women have among themselves that these tattoos symbolize to each other so women get these tattoos to signal other women?
