    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Haha. I suspect you are right.

    I used to think the clintons were great. I cheered when Obama became President. I’m as liberal as they come. I even bought into the trump big old bad racist narrative. But then I did some digging. Now coming out as republican is harder than coming out as gay. And this toe the liberal line or your toast just doesn’t jive with me.

    Well you know the rest.



    Well I’ve got another month off before I go back to work… I do need to paint the fence though :eek:

    And you think Ireland’s in a vacuum. The **** seeps out from there.

    When I hear Irish kids know trump by name and that he’s a racist and that they want to punch him. And they don’t know who the Taoiseach is. Or even worse what a Taoiseach is. Then yeah.

    Not to mention that calling everything racist is an old democrats tactic. Ramped up even more since trump really triggered them.

    But the thing is you'll claim that Trump isn't racist and you'll likely think his squad insults were great. So supporting Obama doesn't suddenly make that opinion more credible.

    Oh I dont support Obama anymore. No no no.His presidency of identity politics has made things far worse. And definitely not the clintons.

    And I would say you're ignoring the point that the commander in chief that you adore is a massive racist and has proven it time and time again...

    You’ve proved nothing. I don’t buy into that narrative because I have all the facts. I don’t need to be told what to think by the clearly biased mainstream media.

    I'm not sure I believe you believe it, as you continue to type the rest of your post.

    It's interesting though how invested you are in the side you've picked.

    You've bombarded this thread with bias mainstream media. More than any poster I would say. And you were asked to stop numerous times by the mods.

    Dont mean to have a go but from the outside looking in, that post doesn't add up to what I've seen.

    If you believe it, I dunno, it sounds a little delusional.

    You are also yourself incredibly bias and have basically admitted it, and that it is due to you not liking democrats or liberals. I imagine this applies even if they said something you agreed with as you are so, what seems to me, entrenched in "your side".

    That's just how it looks to me though.

    As I dig further the more I find. For instance it was Obama’s administration that started with extreme vetting. Building on bushes administration. And trump built on that. But god what a kerfuffle. Tripping over themselves to call trump racist.

    No one called Obama racist. No one called sanders racist for calling Baltimore like a 3rd world country.

    Do you understand? I suspect not. This new narrative of calling everything racist from trump is dangerous. And fixes nothing. Not one thing. Because it’s been on the democrats.

    Oh facts are biased now? Lol. Bombarded. Lol. I have no other way to show it as the likes of cnn. ABC. NBC. Will not show it. They want you to hate trump. They want you to call him racist. They hope that you will vote Democrat. It’s that simple.

    This is you. Fingers in ears. Lalalalala.

    We don't need mainstream media to show us twitter. Trump chats to us all directly.

    Look there’s a really simple tool on boards. If ya don’t like what I have to say. If you are afraid of the facts or simply don’t care. Just put me on the ignore list and poof. Just like magic. You won’t see any of my posts ever again.

    I'm not afraid of the facts at all? Not sure what you mean.

    And i don't want to ignore you, I wanted to talk to you.

    I was talking about the facts. We have the tweets on twitter.com. No bias media involved. From the horses mouth. Everyone can access to trump and remove the bias media reporting of it.

    You seem to push the bias media on the thread though. Are you afraid of the facts?

    I base the majority of my opinion on Trump on what he says, tweets or does.(Or has done in past) Guessing that's where the majority of our opinions come from. It's also just incredibly cringey when people seem to blame the world's opinion on the likes of MSNBC or CNN when the reality is while we have some exposure to CNN, it's incredibly limited. Generally, it's just him saying something really stupid or awful. That's what the average Irish person bases their opinion on him.

    Yes. I don't watch these news channels. Only learned from this thread which ones are bias in which way. And look its interesting too, and I'm glad I learned this. But I dunno why we would keep posting it. It's awful television from what I've seen.

    I follow him on twitter. So do other people I know. No media in the way.

    And with stuff like the racism in his casino that time we've Court transcripts etc.

    There's lots of facts available on the Internet that are not filtered through cnn or fox or whatever.

    Just like the unbiased cnn and don lemon ask the question
    Lemon asked Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet what he would do to bridge a racial divide that “has been stoked by the president’s racist rhetoric.”
    In another question to former Housing Secretary Julián Castro, Lemon referred to Trump’s “racist tweets” about Baltimore. In an attack on Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings last weekend, Trump had referred to Cummings’ Baltimore district as a “rodent infected mess.”

    Lemon never asked if Bernie’s 2015 remarks that Baltimore is like a 3rd world country worse than North Korea. All they care is trump called it rat infested. Like infested is now a new racist word. Because Baltimore is majority black.

    Leom doesn’t ask how did it get this way after more than 30 years of Democrats rule and billions of dollars. Because they don’t care. Don’t care.

    Trump tweets Baltlmore is rat infested which is true. Next your being told Trump called black people rats and the word infested is racist.
