    Just went on youtube and saw Spicer is giving a conference soon (In 10 I think).

    Trump starts up that kill count. Even uses drones!

    10 women and children killed, good thing his supporters are ok with this.

    He did say he would kill terrorists families. He's just doing what people elected him to.

    Spicer is like a ten year child at school shuffling memos around trying to make a point at the WH Pres briefing now. It's embarrassing (for him..... :) )

    Just watching Wolf on CNN and he had a senior politician on from Iraq, and this dude reckons they will stop US citizens from getting Iraqi visas and maybe kicking out the troops. Making it up as they go along this admin and have no idea how the world works, amateur hour

    So many people now care about drones and all that craic now. America might finally stop acting the dick in the next few years.

    You're acting like people changed their minds and hated drone strikes, especially when there's no transparency involved and no care for civilian causalities.

    It wasn't a drone strike.

    "and all that craic".. ie. People now care about mass murder. It's a good thing. Why have a go at me over it?

    Is it pro-Trump now to notice my friends actually care about people dying?

    I've cared for years when none of them gave a toss.

    Then you need to find better friends.

    Decent attempt. I have to admit, that one was the closest I've come to being banned from here in a few weeks.

    People have always cared about mass murder and wars. The anti-war movement has been active for quite some time. Plenty of protests, plenty of arrests even in Obama years.
    The anti-war movement have been regularly shouted down in this country, sneering and derogatory comments about their appearance, their employment status and even their ideological leanings. There's a big world out there outside the internet bubble some people live in, so let's not go down the 'where was everyone when...' road.

    However, if trumps actions get concerned citizens like yourself on board, then at least some good is coming from it.


  • Posts: 18,047 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    That's so weird. You cut my post exactly where I said I've cared for years and then said if Trump's actions gets me to care, it's good.

    This is the strangest most hateful thread ever on this site.

    Based on his post history, doesn't really seem like he gives a damn about those suffering tbh. Be they in America or being bombed by America. He seems to just be gaining some bizarre entertainment from Trump.

    I quoted your post before you added to it. I can include the "I've cared for years..." part if it really means that much to you.

    The points still stand though.

    None of what any of you are saying still stands. You're needlessly attacking me because I challenge your views on an unrelated topic.

    I'm out of here. Ridiculous.

    Seriously though, if you have friends who do an about face for the dumbest of reasons, they're idiots. I like consistency. I like when beliefs are based on evidence rather than the change of the political winds. There's a lot of people in this thread that I think I'd like in real life even though our politics are polar opposites. It's because they are straightforward nice (and logical ) people who are consistent in their beliefs.

    I honestly wouldn't have time for people who can hate or ignore something and change their minds in a week because of who's in charge.

    Dan Donovan a US house Republican said the countries on the list are where ISIS have training bases, when asked about Saudi Arabia, he said that times are different from 9/11.
    BS, Iran with bases that are training ISIS, pure lies.

    Has roguePOTUSStaff shown themselves to be a credible source?

    I was skeptical at first (not because I don't believe that Trump's regime isn't capable or intent on damaging the LGBT community) but because I've seen a few of these 'insider' accounts on Twitter. However, as I posted, Sarah Kate Ellis has tweeted about it now, she is the President and CEO of GLAAD, a very reputable organisation...it

    And I see now that since I started this post that the Human Rights Council, another highly credible organisation, now also have posted about it.

    If I had to guess I'd say it would either be a measure that changes the way they are taxed or a measure that waters down the right to be married. I won;t get too excited until there is something official though.

    It isn't only Trump's own underlings that are proving to a be a bit troublesome for him. . .
