    A presidential candidate does not speak like this. What a clown.

    If this is the level of discourse the thread might as well be deleted

    Of course he picks the most right wing, bat**** crazy one, they must have plenty in common.

    Trump said a good few ugly things about the Central Park 5, but I think it's pretty well documented at this stage that the ad he took out calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty called for it in cases of murder ("and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes), which excluded the Central Park 5.


    That particular claim has been repeated on here again and again, even after being shown to be incorrect.

    Calling for death penalty for gang rapists who happen to be black is not the same thing as calling for the death penalty BECAUSE they are black. He made no mention of skin colour so how exactly is this racism?

    You didn't even read a word of my post, did you?

    forgive me for jumping in here.

    did you ask a question? if so, fire away. I'll do my best to answer.

    They weren't gang rapists, their convictions were vacated and withdrawn. Maybe read about the case before you comment.

    I don't know what you are on about. Earlier, I pointed out that Trump had not in fact called for the execution of the Central Park 5, only for Wojtek to reply that Trump's calling for their execution was not racist.


    This is why I speculate that he has not read (or understood) my post at all.

    Go to 1:50

    Another angle

    So when Trump allegedly insults the US military he's a terrible person but when we have actual proof of Biden doing it with unedited video evidence it's just a gaffe and not a big deal.

    The hypocrisy is laughable.

    You really don't understand context do you?


  • Posts: 6,559 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    At a guess, it was a joke about his good judgment . The rest of the speech included praising the incredible sacrifices they'd made and wishing the US public comprehended that. So pretty clear he does not view them as "stupid bastards"... It's a gaffe and that's about it.

    soldier to joe's left looks nay impressed.

    i know i asked for the full video to gain context, so thanks for that.

    i'm gonna take a few mins now to spin that to criticse trump, and admire joe.

    check him out at 2.05 scrambling for his notes.

    Oh sure it was a joke when Biden does it but when Trump says something stupid or outrageous and his supporters say he was joking they're accused of being mind-readers but when Biden supporters say he's joking when he does the same thing it's accepted 100% and not questioned at all.

    Another clear example of different standards being applied to both people.

    Sure the man can't do anything without a set of notes or a teleprompter that has been long established!

    You're right, that's as bad as calling dead soldiers "losers". Oh wait, no it's not.

    Or mocking the parents of a dead soldier.

    i guess that remains to be seen.

    here's my unbiased opinion...

    the election will be decided upon based on the 1st debate. i have a feeling that DT will try to rile JB into a reaction.

    Its a zero sum game for DT i think...as in get a reaction, win. Dont, lose.

    i know there are 5 policies on the card, but the election aint coming down to policies, it has become so decisive.

    Stick up the clip of Trump calling dead soldiers "losers", would be interesting to see that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,343 ✭✭✭dwayneshintzy


    are you saying trump is racist? or there is systemic racism in existence in america? or both/neither?

    not what people say, what you think.
    I think Trump is racist.

    I think there is systemic racism in the States. Not that there is a conscious decision at all levels to promote racial policy, but that due to the history of the country, and overt and wide ranging racist policies of the past, there is not a level playing field for many people.

    I'm also an American citizen. Are you?

    Serious double standards on display here today. Trump allegedly said something bad about the military and people had a hissy fit. Now Biden demonstrably said something worse and the same people are turning a blind eye. Its not pretty.

    Biden made a joke to the military, he was giving them praise at the time. The two things aren’t comparable but you already know that and have decided to make the comparison anyway.

    You have no idea what the context is of Trumps words were or if he even really said them at all yet you have no problem judging him. Bidens words really look to me like his true feelings slipped out, he said it with malice IMHO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,343 ✭✭✭dwayneshintzy


    His true feelings? A joke at a military speech (in 2016) to get those listening to clap for a superior? This is not some lame excuse that he was joking, in the context of the speech it was clearly a joke.

    Do you think the people attending were offended by it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,482 ✭✭✭Kidchameleon

    Even if he was joking I am sure some people who attended were offended by it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,798 ✭✭✭✭DrumSteve


    Look, anyone who sees that Biden clip and gets offended... Is looking to be offended by it.

    It's pretty obvious from watching it, he was being facetious.

    We do know the context of Trumps words. The weather was bad and he didn't want to bother to go to show respect. The actual words he used are largely irrelevant, his actions are the real tell and can't be denied.
