# 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?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [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.

The Twelver Shiites are crazy, very crazy. And that's why I love them, because you have to be crazy to destroy Israel. I envy their martyrdom. They truly aren't afraid to die or sacrifice, and that's exactly what you have to be to fight against Israel. The macabre thing about their history is the fact that their denomination was founded by a Jew (Abdallah ibn Saba). But that, precisely that, is fate.

The American people aren't aware of what kind of people they're fighting against. They're fighting the worst enemy in the world. And yes, Iran does indeed intend to attack America with nuclear weapons. The targets are New York and Los Angeles. That was Hitler's dream. Will this dream come true? I see Hitler's spirit still living on, at least in Iran.

America killed the leader, yet Iran continues to fight. Iran is fighting against America, against the most powerful country in the world. Is there a country in the world as brave as Iran? Certainly not. The whole world trembles before America, but Iran doesn't. But why? It is religion that drives them. It is the conviction that it is a divine destiny. It is not their own lives that they consider valuable. They even sacrifice their own children. Their own children are even warriors. I saw a video where a little boy said to Ali Khamenei: "Please, let me die a martyr." In Lebanon, Hezbollah children carry rifles and aim at Israel while their fathers proudly give the Nazi salute. In Yemen, Houthi children carry rifles and aim at Israel while their fathers proudly shout "Cursed be the Jews." Very impressive.

There is a Shiite festival called Ashura. During this festival, Shiites beat themselves bloody. They commemorate the Battle of Karbala, when Husayn was abandoned by his men and killed in battle. Therefore, the Shiites beat themselves as punishment. Because they were afraid of the battle (the enemy was vastly superior in numbers) and abandoned him. Never again, so their saying goes, will they be afraid of anyone. Never again will they run away. It is religion that drives them, that makes them dangerous. America will bitterly regret it.
