    Trump has also that Alpha male personality.

    He has been highly successful in his life. He has overseen the creation of power and wealth over the past 40 years.

    While he was a good looking man in his youth, we don't have to think too deeply as to why the current first lady got with him when he was in his 50s.

    Women love power and wealth.

    I think Trump makes lesser males feel inadequate. Men who don't his charisma or vast wealth.

    The Beta Male. The weak good guy, the loser.

    If I had a few 100 million dollars left to me by my da i'd probably be quite successful too.

    Please tell us how many bankruptcies he has overseen in his businesses.

    One of the plaintiffs is Rosanell Eaton, 94, who said she and her daughter had to make 10 trips to the Division of Motor Vehicles, drive more than 200 miles and spend more than 20 hours to obtain one of the required forms of voter identification because the name on her identifying document, her driver’s license, did not exactly match that on her voter registration.

    Maybe have correct documentation ?
    Voting Rights Act, which for 50 years had protected voters from discriminatory laws like poll taxes, literacy tests and the like.

    If you cant read or write how do you know who you are voting for and who you are voting for on the ballet ?
    But given the demographic patterns of who votes for which party, the easiest way for them to gain that edge is by putting bureaucratic hurdles in place that make it harder for poor and elderly minority voters to cast ballots. Thus, race and politics are necessarily intertwined.

    ... Sorry I stopped reading seems a load of tripe. Remind me If I ever go to Court to say I;m to old or cant read here. How far do you think I will get ?

    I love is fake heavy Russian accent. When speaking English. He can clearly speak it fluently.

    2 people I would love to hang out with if there was zero danger would be a USA president and Putin. I bet Putin would be great crack with his access to anything.



    Anyone with an interest in global politics should watch the full video. He berates the media and openly talks about the direction the world is heading in.

    I'm not surprised he wanted Trump. He'd be a fool to want Clinton and her promises regarding Syria. In his mind, they're edging towards war but Trump is the safer bet.

    Like him or loathe him, he's right in that video.

    I'm sorry, but can you produce a single piece of research that proves voter fraud is a serious issue in the US?

    Because otherwise you're just being obtuse.

    You know it's not an issue but you're arguing it because it suits your weird narrative.

    This is one of the stupidest critiques of anything I have ever read in me life.


    Do you actually believe this ****e?

    What's wrong with Id, You are asked here for it when you go into the polling station.

    I'm sorry, but do you actually believe voter fraud is a real issue in the US and if so, do you have any real research to back this up?


    The Voter ID requirements that were introduces in certain areas had NOTHING to do with fears of voter fraud and EVERYTHING to do with making it harder for certain demographics to vote.

    I'd imagine you're very aware of this and are being facetious for the sake of it.
    Jesus Christ. If you believe it's voter suppression to put in place standard measures used in every other country, then you're just insulting the people you believe are being suppressed.

    The all-loving Democrats with their stupid black friends who can't do the paperwork to get an ID. It's so condescending really and people like you fall for it.

    Give me a single reason for why Ireland shouldn't require ID and I'll take your points about America seriously.
    Can't do that? Big surprise.

    Now imagine a load of black people in Ireland and try to think of a reason. Can do that? No surprise.

    You'd be denying our nature if you don't believe it.

    Since the beginning of the human being, we've split into societal hierarchies.

    Like in most other mammal species, the Alpha male will rise to the top.

    The argument is that it isn't the ID, it's how hard it is to get an ID, and that that is a form of voter suppression.

    Now, it's been a few years since I got ID in Ireland, but I have a DL from California, and a State ID from Kentucky. Neither was particularly difficult to get. the KY ID I got within a half-hour of walking into the county hall. Filled out some forms, provided some basic proofs, they printed it out right there. I find it very difficult to believe that my US experience is worse than the current Irish experience. (Indeed, a good friend of mine was lamenting to me over a pint the last time I was home over the difficulty he had getting a replacement license in Dublin)

    You probably like your mate brought correct information. I'm wagering some have not been into the DMV.

    On the contrary, I think he appeals to those with feelings of inadequacy. They look at the surface, the wife, the teeth, the money, the power and think he is someone to envy, despite his stream of consciousness on Twitter suggesting a man who may have deep issues. He's like those fellows who flog gym routines or how to get dates seminars, the appeal is to nerds who measure success in the most superficial ways. Let's face it, his coterie is rather thin on intellectualism.

    Aw, Same with Brexit ?

    Um.

    That doesn't make sense, Brexit was a vote, a decision, it cannot have a human characteristic, it cannot be "intellectual" or not. Your question makes as much sense as "aw, same with clouds?"


  • Posts: 18,047 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Let's face it, his coterie is rather thin on intellectualism.

    Ha, you knew it was beyond retarded to call 60 million people stupid so you used a fancy word to sound intelligent in the middle of it.

    Keep attacking though and branding his supporters as idiots. It definitely helped in 2016 and will help again in 2020. People love to be called stupid because of their politics.

    The irony of you saying Trump supporters are stupid when you don't understand what he means by "brexit".

    Oh Trump just rocked in and took power by force ? I find it highly amusing the old not smart angle on trump and the same with Brexit. What leads you to believe that Trumps coterie are any more or less intelligent that any other administration ?

    He is an IDIOT.

    I ask again account for his bankruptcies. Successful business man my hole. Skilled negotiator? Getting his ass kicked by the president of Mexico.

    If you were given a fortune as a child you will probably be "successful".

    You really don't understand the word coterie?!

    It does not refer to voters or supporters. I didn't make any reference to them at all in my post. Coterie means a very small exclusive group.

    Your use of the word "retarded" is ugly.


  • Posts: 22,384 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    You must be mistaking me for someone who made that point.

    He won a democratic election. Where did you think I said otherwise? You might use a direct quote when answering.

    What are you rambling on about? You called his supporters stupid. You think I'm too stupid to realise you've moved the goalposts to talk about Trump?

    I know the meaning of the word. It looked like you misused it and were calling his voters his coterie because your entire post was about them.

    The paragraph looks weird with the sudden switch to his administration.

    Oh man! I was just listening to a bit of 90s Howard Stern and the Donald came on air, calling in from his Tower.

    He sounds like me and my friends, joking about broads and playing up to Howard.

    What a geezer.

    We love you "45"

    New Paragraph for a new topic.

    Huh? What are you on about? That point wasn't about voters at all! It was obviously about the group nearest to him. That's the very reason I used the word!

    So you completely misunderstood the post, had to look up the word coterie, and rail about "retards"? As I said, mildly amusing, mixed with mildly ugly.

    Edit - I see where you were confused. You didn't follow the development in the paragraph and need a new paragraph!

    I didn't misunderstand anything. You've just written an incredibly vague paragraph and it's not my fault the below is unclear.

    DEFTLEFTHAND:
    I think Trump makes lesser males feel inadequate. Men who don't have his charisma or vast wealth.

    The Beta Male. The weak good guy, the loser.

    To me, that paragraph is about his supporters.. Using words like "appeal", "envy" and "nerds" does not sound like you're talking about his administration.

    I repeat, not my fault.

    You seem rather annoyed by this.

    Look, I say you didn't understand the word coterie, you seem to be writing a book to prove you did, let's agree to disagree.

    It's funny how the mask will slip if they can get a dig in.

    I read during the week on Twitter that Baron Trump is autistic. Horrible phrases like "oddbod" and "window licker" were used. He's not autistic btw.

    This is a ten year old boy. It highlights the seedy hypocrisy of the left.

    It reminds me of Thomas Sowell, as soon as he spoke against the Dem party and the Bigotry of Low Expectations, he got nailed with racial abuse.

    They refer to him as an Uncle Tom for being a GOP member.

    Who fought to end slavery again? Oh yeah it was Republicans

    And members of which party founded the KKK? Oh yeah it was members of the Democratic Party.
