    Good job scraping the bottom of the barrel to feed your bias once again, Hank.

    At least I don't try to hide it :)

    That's not a good thing to have, honestly. Try to challenge your opinions, analyse actual sources which aren't full of idiots who don't know what they believe. Doing it promises that either your argument will strengthen or might even change. But going on youtube looking for dumb liberals adds nothing to your beliefs.

    Right back at ya bud. I've criticized Trump plenty, his taxes, talking about nukes, his views on Iraq, insinuating about crowd sizes, some of his cabinet picks, using twitter and so on.

    You on the other hand have made it clear in a previous post that your stance is to attack Trump for 4 years. Whatever floats your boat.

    How Is it trumps ? You can call it Racist all one likes. Anywhere else Id is standard. Again the same people one is banging on about most lightly had no Id the last 2 terms ? But that's ok Obama won. So it's a racist policy stopping black people voting for a white woman or what ?

    I never said it was Trumps specifically. We were talking about voter ID laws and how they target black and hispanics populations.

    There's always been religious nuts and groups. I think it's far fetched to believe any administration is going to go after LGBT rights. Pence has a checkered past but a lot of it has been blown up, electro shock therapy stuff and so on. You can be a strong catholic but that doesn't mean you have the right to impose your views on everyone.

    Where was my mention of him pal?

    I've said many times I would've voted for him over Hillary and I still maintain that stance. You on the other hand contribute little more than videos of dumb SJW's as confirmation bias that 'liberals are bad'.

    You could try reading the article... The author has a unique insight into the Conservative Christian grassroots movement that spawned the Tea Party movement because she was raised in it and she explains the techniques used by these people to further their movement.

    You're a real iconoclast you know. Normally when people quote posts what they type has some appreciable connection to the quoted content. The relevance and implications of that connection might be debatable, but it's usually there. Not you though. Almost six posts a day for ten years of randomness. Maybe a word in common with the quoted posts, probably the word snowflake, sometimes just a lol.

    I can't decide if you're actually a computer programme figuring yourself out or a kind of Dada-esque forum artist out to make us think about the essential arbitrary nature of language and logic.

    And just to be clear, I'm not talking about Trump supporters, Americans, the right, the alt right or anything, I'm talking about you, total sidebar from the thread.

    These Dangerous Racist policy's did not stop a Black man being Elected. Only a white woman apparently. Next time I'm asked for ID somewhere I will remember to shout racist.

    You really should do a better job of reading my other posts. I stand by what I said there though. Any person in power who attempts to silence the media who rightfully criticise them won't silence me.

    Problem is, the Israeli wall is constantly breached by tunnels and the Israelis have to bomb the sh1t out of Gaza every few years to collapse them

    With the billions of dollars to be made in drugs and smuggling, you can guarantee that the criminals and people traffickerswill get in, so unless America invades Mexico every few years to destroy the tunnels, the wall will accomplish nothing except to make the criminals more organised and more ruthless

    Voter suppression referenced targets voters of colour, not candidates of colour.
    I don't know what contortions you're pulling to frame it as though anyone said it did, but I understand that it's easier for you to defeat as an argument.

    I wonder has President Trump thought about ways all the Muslims who are already in the US to be easily identified. Perhaps they could wear some sort of badge so they can be spotted in a crowd. It would also put all the non Muslims at ease so when they see one they can give a wide berth, in order to stay safe
    They could also be forbidden to walk on the path and the road, the gutter is fine though!

    The argument is that the policies are discriminatory (in practical terms if not in intent) against VOTERS of colour. The majority of Obama voters were white. If you can't understand that I don't know what to tell you. Next time I'm expected to make a reasonable argument I'll remember to type irrelevant gibberish.

    Have the Irish courts found that voter ID laws were being used to suppress certain groups of voters that tend to not vote for the party implementing the laws? You are purposely ignoring this in order to make it sound like the situation in both countries are the same. I've never actually been askd for ID when I have voted.

    Deftlefthand - And you know what happened? The "seedy left" told off the idiots and made it clear, in general, that the child was off-limits as they should always be. The SNL woman that wrote one of the nastier tweets was suspended and her account frozen while it was investigated and she gave a public and contrite apology.

    Which is the way things should have worked. The left is seedy? Can you imagine if this happened with Trump insulting some kid? Deny, double-down, lie.

    So, in short, you are looking for the odd complete dick and spreading your views on them to the entire "left", which is not only intellectually lazy, but demonstrably untrue.

    The Rep/Dem thing at the end is pointless to bring up when it's pretty well known that ideologically, the Reps and Dems switched sides and judging modern either by the distant past is pointless. This is a very well-known bit of history, even outside the States.


    Is anyone else curious as to why exactly Trump, wanting to keep Mexicans out of the US, is deliberately doing so much damage to Mexico? Send the peso plunging, exacerbate poverty in the most vulnerable and how do people react? THEY GO NORTH. Into the US. He is actually busily creating the problem he's pretending to solve. Whether or not that's deliberate, some great cunning plan to create a problem to solve, or whether it's just his own bullying nature I don't know. Although it reminds me of how he acted over the Scottish golf course and his infamous eminent domain attempt to get an elderly widow's house (her name was Vera Coking). Donnie wants something, people stand in his way, they must be punished so Donnie can get what he wants. The Mexican government has defied him, Mexico must be punished.

    Trump himself mocked a disabled person and look at the result.

    Your leader is lying prostrate at the feet of Trump, pledging fealty and grovelling before a person she despises to her core because the UK is so desperate.

    You wont have independence outside of the European Union.
    Yes we will. We will be  self governing and not needing those damn Europhiles telling us what to do.

    Doubt it, they haven't been involved in any terrorism in the modern era, some would argue widescale terrorism ever.

    Iran gets a bad rep from America and it's little despot in the region.
