Carfacemandog wrote: » Well you wanted to reply to my comment that Fred Truno was a KKK sympathiser and good businessman by what's outing your way into talking about people and things change, like the democrats from being the more racist party back a hundred years ago, to Obama or Clinton changing their stances in SSM. So if you don't have anything about Fred Trump changing, did you even have a point to your posts?

How the f##k do you know who Fred Trump is....and what his stance on race was back in the day....
People change...nobody is perfect...was my point.

It would be much more helpful if we were as obsessed about our own elected leaders as we are about the elected leader of a democracy we don't vote in....who knows we might not have elected the leader of one of the most corrupt political parties in the EU into the highest office in this land...we are not in a position to think we are any better than any American voter.

Not sure what you're getting so wound up about, he was a high profile businessman who made a sh*t tonne of money that he gave down to Donald who largely squandered it to the point of no US banks loaning go him anymore. Fred, while very successful in the business world also had a well documented case of the auld racism, and his general KKK sympathies have been documented quite well down the years. And you did so by jumping in on a comment about Fred Trump having been a KKK sympathiser, so I would assume you would have something about Fred Trump having actually, you know, changed. It turns out you didn't, and so you have no point at all. Maybe you just got triggered by the words 'KKK' and 'Trump' in the same sentence?

kilns wrote: » Trump Derangement syndrome do you hear yourself.I don’t see this constant criticism in the world media, they mostly just report his quotes and the readers and viewers make up their mind and more often than not people shake their head in disbelief that a man who is wholly unsuitable for the role he holds is their in the first place.

It doesn't take much to cop onto how media distributes content in this day and age...the industry has abandoned balance a long long time ago before Trump decided to run...as a consequence people have abandoned trust in media industry to such an extent media has lost it's ability to influence enough people to make it relevant....this man got elected despite the most ferocious negative media coverage I have ever witnessed....the media industry is now more or less irrelevant...if you can get elected despite the media, the industry is f##ked.....they did it to themselves.
