    Nice.

    Wasn't too long ago people on here were also complaining about Bolton and his war hawk leanings.

    It's a bit like George Bush jr. People hated him for his destruction of half the middle east but then when he got a bit old and started painting pictures of flowers people loved him again. All forgiven.

    Pure populism

    Doubt anyone has changed their opinions of Bolton. But Trump's criticism of Bolton is motivated by a hurt ego and nothing more.

    Hes entitled to have a bruised ego. Hes only human. Bolton is bad news. Trump was right to give him the boot.

    Eligible voters are over 18
    If that's half the population or more it only leaves 1 under 18 left per person over 18
    That seems fishy to me unless there's some othe explanation
    How can 50% + of the population be of voting age is what I'm asking
    It seems worse in Ireland
    3.5 million electorate out of 5 million
    The number of adults with children under 18 must be relatively small
    You'd imagine

    It isn't so that is where you are going wrong. The real figures were presented to you but you decided to ignore them and go with the figures in your head instead. How very trumpian.

    Hes a 74 year old man ranting on twitter like a child. Calling people names.

    Its weird how so many people he appointed turned out to be so terrible at their jobs and needed firing. You'd think a good businessman would know how to hire decent people.

    You're misunderstanding my point. I know well how to work out a percentage; the fact is 4 million more people got off their arses for Trump than they did for Obama. And that was marked as a turning point in US politics.

    Of course, thankfully another 5 million or so again got off their hinds for Biden despite him being so medicore. But ignore Trump's base at your peril, the divide can't be fixed by simply chucking them aside.

    trump pretty much ignored everyone not in his base, and actively made them dislike him even more. He did the "at your peril" bit and lost, should have given that advise to trump 4 years ago.

    He's a president acting out on Twitter on a constant basis. Other Presidents have had bruised ego, they haven't had a public breakdown.... It's simply not presidential behaviour.

    A good business man knows when to let them go too if they cant live up to standards.

    Bolton didn't make the cut. And like Bolton wanderers he was relegated from the premier league

    If mail in voting is so great why is it not used here fully, and in UK. Do away with voting in person? Won't happen, and we all know why, it's not safe, yet everyone is applauding it for the USA to use, as it achieved the goal of getting rid of Trump.

    I'm sure you can link to all the studies and investigations that prove that postal voting is "not safe"? Have you held this opinion for a while or is it since Trump started his disinformation campaign?

    What is the line? "F*** your feelings". A few hundred thousand dead is what it is but everyone needs to be careful of Trump's feelings because he lost a contest. The world can't tip toe around a US president that can't control his emotions any better than a 2 year old.

    Trump hired Bolton knowing what he is. Trump had the pleasure of working with Bolton because he hires the "best" people.

    This is the second time you're blaming populism.

    You do realise that trump ran on a populist platform, don't you?

    Christians should really be in inverted commas, plenty of them are far from "christian".

    It doesnt happen. It's a non issue.

    It's there for issues like we have here where , once born, the child wont survive or where the mother might not.

    Women dont get to 8 months pregnant and go "you know what, I dont fancy this anymore" and doctors wont do it anyway.

    Doesnt stop "christians" scaremongering though and claiming its the downfall of society though. It (abortion) wasnt even an issue up until the like of phyllis schlafly started her anti women campaigns and fed the bull**** to conservatives and whipped them up to be afraid.

    These people are not Christians, theyre massive hypocrites that pick and choose the bible bits to suit themselves.

    Every person Trump has been acquainted with he claims to have barely known if and when that relationship turns sour. Heaven forefend he actually own up to having deliberately brought Bolton into the administration.

    Im not the one hiring them and wouldnt have.

    Trump knew Bannon longer that he said and it's not like Bolton was some young kid straight out of college no one heard of before.

    People didnt constantly nod along in agreement with Trump so he got petulant and got rid of them then started calling them names.

    No one should support any leader that just wants to surround themselves with yes men.

    Biden has rehired someone who is a staunch advocate for immigration cages. Should he be supported on this?

    "She was the Latina who provided political cover for the largest deportation machine built in the history of this country. She justified Obama’s immigration policies, in Spanish, including Obama’s deportation of thousands of Central American children and its decision to stop an executive order that would have halted deportations. She defended the policy of deporting “criminals” — which could include a vast array of offenses, including traffic violations. And she went as far as to say that deporting people who had not been accused of a crime was “collateral damage.”

    A familiar face from the Obama administration. Condoned putting children in cages.

    This was answered a couple of pages back, by me, as part of the Obama administration, she ran a very effective border policy, that was made worse by the idiot in chief (trump) spaffing a lot of the budget on walls, and then deciding to use the holding cells (cages if you wish) built by the previous administration to separate little children from their parents.

    Is trump a sh*thead for separating children from parents?

    Do you think the US should go back to effective border policing, or continue down the walls path?
