    The likes of Nancy Pelosi encourages these types of people, she mightn't mean to but she is down in the gutter playing dirty. She's a despicable human being imo.

    "We all received that news with great sadness," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told MSNBC. "I always pray for the president and his family that they're safe."

    Yeah despicable stuff altogether.

    An example of her actions which would encourage these idiots would be what she did at the State of the Union address.

    You seethe big thing I see going on here is people comparing Democrats behaviour with ugly Republican behaviour.
    Well the Democrat party I followed for many years was a respectable party. There was none of this gutter politics.

    They were always above it and tbh I always looked at democrat supporters, for the most part, as more enlightened, more intelligent people.
    The Republican party has always been about the super rich and fooling the not so smart into voting for them with all the take pride in your armed forces and defend your home with a gun balderdash.
    Now there's many Democrats swimming in the murky waters and acting like you'd expect idiot Republicans to.
    There should be no childish stuff like, well look at what that Republican done, because you shouldn't have to defend yourself for being a horrible person if you are a Democrat because you should not be acting that way.
    The likes of Nancy Pelosi encourages these types of people, she mightn't mean to but she is down in the gutter playing dirty. She's a despicable human being imo.

    You talk of the Democratic party of years gone by as being a paragon of virtue and then list Pelosi as an example of a current "malaise" of low behaviours yet Pelosi has been a leading light of the party for decades.

    Has she changed recently or something?

    I said "to my knowledge". Am I wrong? Has Donald Trump had Tweets censored? What about Joe Biden? Why has the likes of Parlor and Gab seen explosions of new members? It's not just Twitter...

    Those sites are populated by extremists. They're more a symptom of the growth of far right extremism.

    Yes, it was highly disrespectful to the Office of the Presiden of the United States of America.
    There's times to say or do things and then there's times that you don't. The State of the Union is a historically important Presidential occasion so acting with disrespect there is disgraceful behaviour.
    I understand that Trump is an imbecile but the State of the Union address is not the place for that sort of behaviour.

    Eh, she hasn't done anything to. Same for Biden meanwhile Trump was pushing plenty about Clinton and Biden's health. You yourself have pushed conspiracies about Biden being senile.

    Trump has never shown respect to the office if the President. So I would say he never earned the respect that's generally afforded to the office. He's abused his role since day one.

    What am I supposed to think when on live TV he called Corey Booker the President, then corrects himself and calls him the future President? When he tells the media that he met a man that's been dead for years?

    You don't seem to understand that her actions there were not just disrespecting Trump but every other President in history.

    Trump said the soldiers during the civil war took over the airports, have you never got mixed up before?

    Why are you bringing up Trump. You are deflecting here.
    Of course I've made mistakes but calling Corey Booker the President and saying you met a man that's been dead for twenty years are not mistakes I'd ever make.

    No, that's a conclusion you've reached. It's not the absolute truth that you view it to be. Eg there's plenty of former Presidents that are alive and well, have any called out her behaviour as unacceptable?


    Also Biden getting through a debate and town hall really puts your senility narrative in doubt. I make stupid slip ups in conversations. I'm not yet 30 so doubtful that it's dementia, literally been in conversations where I've blanked on the names of people that I know.

    My reading skills are just fine.

    You accusations about Kamala Harris sleeping her way to the top, yet failed when confronted to back anything up.

    You've done the same here with Pelosi.

    You've a track record of making baseless accusations against senior members of the Democratic party, with the caveat that you 'despise' trump which everyone sees through, and then whinge when you're challenged on this bullsh!t.

    So if you're going to debate and want to be taken seriously then cop on, don't deflect, and provide citation

    Hang on. I haven't mentioned his senility since the debate until somebody brought it up today. I just explained my reasons for having those thoughts. I thinks it's pretty normal to think that when he did those things, along with lots of more minor gaffs.

    I said the debate was a draw and if I had to pick a winner that I'd pick Joe Biden. I haven't brought up his senility in quite a while and he showed no signs of it at the debate.

    You see what you fail to understand is that there is no agenda on my part. Well apart from wanting to see the Democrat party return to being the respectable, well-mannered party that they were.

    Look if you sleep with your boss and get promoted twice while you are doing it you can expect it to be questioned. When the man is over double your age then it's even more questionable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,775 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    The difference is people are quoting no-marks wishing Trump ill anď saying thus is representative of Democrats, while Biden, Harris, Obama and others have wished him well. When the Republicans get nasty, it comes right from the top.

    Not only Biden, Harris and Obama but Hillary Clinton too. Given that Trump mocked her having pneumonia 4 years ago and constantly led chants of Lock her Up during his rallies Hillary of all people could have just maintained radio silence. But she didn't, she wished the president well

    Little bit weird to be doing it when it was literally decades ago and she's had a highly successful career entirely on her own merits. Plus you portrayed it as an affair.

    I've called my own son the wrong name, I've got mixed up about the people I have met (similar names) how many does Biden meet a year?

    I guess you must be the exception that NEVER makes a mistake :rolleyes:

    Doubling down on your misogyny again!

    The fact that your default is that a woman can only get to a position of power by sleeping with someone, rather than virue of her own abilities, is a perfect example of a sexist attitude.
    The first time I pulled you up on this scummy position, you said you'd trawl through my previous posts to find me out for being hypocritical.

    I'm still waiting on that proof

    Given that this thread will be moving onto its third version in the next day or so would anyone agree with me that we should have the original thread title back?? AFAIR it was stared by notobuse and it was titled '2020 US Presidental Election: aka the Trump Coronation'. I grew quite fond of that thread title over time and it would be great to see it in place for the election on November the 3rd.

    I agree, but change it to " The Biden Coronation"

    Chris Christie and Sen. Ron Johnson now test positive. Christie was involved with the debate prep. So was Rudy. I wonder if the #IMPOTUS is a superspreader?

    You see I made a statement of fact which is that Kamala Harris got promoted twice while sleeping with the man who promoted her. I didn't say anything else.

    Your then go lying and say that I'm a misogynist and claim that I believe that all women must sleep their way to the top.

    I'd like an apology for those lies. Or if not back it up with proof because I'm 100% certain I never said anything like that.

    Big difference in calling your son the wrong name and calling him the President or telling the media that you had a long conversation with a man that's been dead twenty years.
    I guess you must be the exception that NEVER makes a mistake
    I said I do make mistakes.

    Your use of sleeping with instead of in a relationship shows how you view this.

    You'll get no such apology from me for pointing out your statement that 'a woman can only get to a position of power' is misogynistic.

    In fact, I think you don't understand the principle of misogyny.

    BTW I'm still waiting on your proof that I'm a hypocrite
