    It's honestly best not to rise to it, because it's obvious trolling. Infuriating, for sure, but Outlaw Pete is much too far down the Trump rabbithole to be saved at this stage. If Trump stood outside the White House armed with an Uzi sub-machine gun and started mowing down tourists, Pete would claim that it was a Democrat dressed as Trump and that Trump was clearly being set up.

    Trump wouldn't have the guts to do anything like that. Any sort of big crowd outside and he hides in his fortified underground bunker while his stormtroopers go out and tear gas them away. Can't have those pesky clergy making him look bad.

    What about them?

    I'm surprised you'd dare mention Flynn tbh given evidence would suggest he was targeted out of spitefulness by the Obama administration who had been all talk about how they wanted a peaceful transfer of power.

    He pleaded guilty ffs.

    What about the others of Trumps inner circle who have been convicted?

    Something trump said about whenever you're in charge, you're responsible? I'm sure there's a tweet to echo it

    The left are responsible for the current chaos in the States, not Trump.

    About what exactly? Trump has done a sterling job since he has taken office.

    He hasn't by any measure.

    No wonder scuffles are breaking out.

    Wtf are you talking about?

    The Trumpists have gone totally off the reservation since Donald's extremely lethargic and boring speech last night.

    You could say that things held to be objectively true are what hold a society together, i.e. certain assumed values held by the majority of its citizens. We're seeing the real-time breakdown of that happening in the USA right now, at least where politics is concerned. Ultimately, the undermining of truth and good faith arguments benefit no-one. Even those who think they benefit from it find themselves living in an unpredictable and unstable situation where they could become the focus of hatred at any minute as the ability to control the narrative slips from their hands.

    Ultimately, this concerns us as well, as the kind of toxic political atmosphere currently seen in the states can easily bleed into other western countries, and is in fact already doing so to different extents. Worrying times.

    I mean it is going to be very tempting to give them what they gave democrats for the last four years but I really hope that doesn't happen, someone has to show leadership


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete



    So you're quoting something dumb Trump once said to excuse having a nonsense opinion?

    The chaos in the US right now was caused by the left pushing false narratives.

    Trump' s doing very well though. A lesser man would have caved to the madness.

    So when Trump tweeted about Obama for eight years that was fine, now he's in the driving seat and it's not as easy as he thought that means we should excuse his tweets?

    Also he has caved, he doesnt like to talk about it, he just wants to Talk about Trump, his fragile ego is cracking because its not getting stroked anymore and for once in his sad life he has to take ownership and responsibility for his actions. He's a frightened vain man who realises he is way out of his league.

    He will be ranting later about how most of the fingers were left ones, and all waved violently at him.

    Or he'll try to say they were actually index ones and they meant number one!

    I've always loved new hampshire, the white mountains, you can pull up at some great sites and camp for the night free of charge, lots of national forest land, they don't enforce helmets wearing for motorcycles, they don't have state income tax, the basically do whatever the f*ck they want, including I guess giving Trump the finger.

    Another day, another lie. Also slurring and mispronouncing words.

    So masculine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,260 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    He then claims Biden was reading answers off a teleprompter during his interview on Thursday with Anderson Cooper. Another lie. You can see how he hit the 20,000 mark so easily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,260 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    And then the comment of the night. He says he wants to see the first woman President but that Kamala Harris isn't competent. He doesn't afford her the respect of saying her name, just refers to her as "she". He then points at the clapping seals in the crowd and proclaims "they want Ivanka!"

    They. Want. Ivanka.

    How is this real life?!

    Trump couldn't even find willing participants for this video spot at the RNC: they didn't tell tenants their interview (which was conducted by a HUD official) would be used for a political campaign video. Having this done by a HUD official is surely another Hatch Act violation?

    https://www.mediaite.com/news/nyc-tenants-highlighted-at-rnc-dont-support-trump-were-misled-about-video-nyt/
    New York City public housing tenants spotlighted in a video at the Republican National Convention spoke out to the New York Times to say they were misled about the purpose of the video.

    The video starts with the message “President Trump promised to deliver real change for the residents of our nation’s cities. He kept that promise.”

    The video features Judy Smith, Manuel Martinez, Claudia Perez, and Carmen Quiñones criticizing how Bill de Blasio has dealt with public housing residents and what the Trump administration has done to help “shine a light on what’s going on.”



    The New York Times reports that the interviews were arranged and conducted by HUD official Lynne Patton. But despite the serious criticisms of the Democratic mayor, they’re apparently not exactly big Trump supporters:
    They were never told that their interviews would be edited into a two-minute video clip that would air on Thursday night at the Republican National Convention and be used to bash Mayor Bill de Blasio, three of the tenants said in interviews on Friday.

    “I am not a Trump supporter,” said one of the tenants, Claudia Perez. “I am not a supporter of his racist policies on immigration. I am a first-generation Honduran. It was my people he was sending back.”

    Perez, the Times says, stood by all the criticisms featured in the video but “was furious about being tricked into appearing in the video.”

    Patton denied they were misled and claimed to the Times that she spoke all of them Friday and they were “upset with the way The Times was ‘twisting their words.'” But per the Times:
    In a separate interview, Ms. Quiñones said she talked to Ms. Patton on Friday afternoon and was comfortable with how she was being portrayed by The Times. She said she was disappointed that her words were twisted to support President Trump.

    Ms. Perez and a third tenant, Manny Martinez, said they had not spoken with Ms. Patton on Friday and did not know what she was talking about.

    Once again for the umpteenth time Trump was asked what his plan was for a Second term.

    This was his verbatim response
    "But so I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very, very, I think we'd have a very, very solid, we would continue what we're doing, we'd solidify what we've done, and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done,"

    Yup - That's a man with a plan alright.

    "One of the things that will be really great -- the word experience is still good, I always say talent is more important than experience, I've always said that -- but the word experience is a very important word, a very important meaning.
    "I never did this before, never slept over in Washington. I was in Washington maybe 17 times and all of a sudden I'm the President of the United States, you know the story, riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady and I say this is great but I didn't know very many people in Washington, it wasn't my thing. I was from Manhattan, from New York, and now I know everybody. And I have great people in the administration. You make some mistakes, like an idiot like Bolton, you don't have to drop bombs on everybody."

    Gosh - it's just, it's just chills. Thrill up my leg. So inspiring. I can see the vision for America! :pac:
