    I don't like Trump, but some of the crap being posted about him is really off the wall.

    This election thread has been pretty cr*p, petty and childish from people I don't need to name.



    Now, what Sky News and CNN are saying about Trumps comments are hysterical and like the polls deliberately misrepresenative.


    He didn't say valid postal votes shouldn't be counted. He alluded to postal votes that were delivered after election day and so many of them going to Biden is actually odd. He agreed it makes sense they would favor him but questioned that is so high.

    He was absolutely right in his opening comments about the media and big tech. Totally right. The media are the one's that reported these wildly inaccurate polls and didn't question them and social media promoted them as well. They should't be allowed do news imo, when they can promote stories they want by simply placing them at the top of your feed.

    He shouldn't have used the term fraud but this is DT.

    Oh, and this thing about showing evidence, he's hardly going to show the evidence at a press conference. Such stupid commentary by the media, even in the case Trump is wrong.

    Lol, you keep believing he's a billionaire and a successful business man if you want to look foolish.

    What? He is a billionaire and he is (soon to be was) president of the United states.

    Are Forbes in on it too?

    Foolish he says.

    There is nothing wrong with me. I wouldn't blink because I don't recognise him. He should never have been given the world stage. I never read his tweets, or followed him on Twitter. I change channel if his name comes up on radio or TV. He was always a nobody to me.

    Yeah...that's still a f***ed up thing to say whether you know him or not.

    (For the record I don't believe you but I think it's still a poor reflection on you to say it)

    This is always a dangerous take.

    His supporters didn't just come out of nowhere.
    And they won't go away when Biden gets in either.

    He offended the sensibilities of middle class Irish people. The fact that he didn't invade any countries or foment any rebellions abroad or do anything truly monstrous like the last 10 or so presidents before him counts for nothing with these people.

    I know what you're saying but I hope it doesn't happen . That could really trigger social mayhem.

    I would not like to see social mayhem as a result.

    Trump is doing his best to cause riots. If I'm going you're all coming with me.

    I predict he will take his own life actually. From being a spoilt child who inherited billions to possibly buying his way into a presidency he can't accept lack of attention etc. A monster was created a long time ago. So far his party colleagues are not standing up to him. Fear I'm sure.

    So killing a clearly deluded 74 year old man is something that cannot be reasonably seen as amoral?

    nice twist..

    There was no morality judgement or call in my statement. I didn't even say I wanted it to happen.

    But since you asked the question of morality - if you want my opinion, I think in the net balance of morality, you would still be hard pushed not allow him to live (in this messed up hypothetical situation).

    It getting into the type of pop hypothetical philosophical questions like "If you could go back and kill Hitler before WW2, would you?" The morality of killing one man, but to potentially save millions.. etc



    EDIT: My original comment a few pages back..

    Ultimately I don't wish harm on anyone. Its not his fault he has obvious mental difficulties. But I still think in the grand scheme of things, the world would be better off with him not in it.

    Unfortunately there would be riots and more division if someone decided to resolve things in this manner.

    This is bs. The Pennsylvania Secretary of State confirmed earlier today that ballots that arrived after election day are being set aside and not counted for now. She also confirmed that the number of them is very very low relative to the overall number of votes. You are just repeating Trump's lies without checking anything out yourself.

    He didn't show much compassion for people who died from Covid. What value was put on their lives?

    Quite right. The cult of Trump will not go away when he leaves office, that much is for sure. He's gotten around 6 million more votes this year than he did in 2016. The US is a broken country.

    In relation to the poverty most of us were living in back then Ireland Haughey was a pound for pound bigger b@stard than Trump is.

    Fake tan wasn't around back then though.

    also purloining Brian Lenihan's liver transplant money......:eek:

    Haughey was the dregs. i was a regular FF voter back then (I know, stupid callow youth)-but never again after the 'Haughey era' ).
