    I'm not pointing a finger at anyone debating here in noting that Trump, after the fact, kept referring to the mob that attacked the Capitol building on the day the vote count was to be entered unto the House record as a "peaceful protest". His latest mention of riot is where he imagines LA is on fire with rioters roaming the streets attacking the Nat Gd and looting stores. Trump cannot recognize fact from fiction.

    Watching sky news and Trump saying Los Angeles would have burnt down as per the fires earlier this year if he hadn’t sent in the army - Could media outlets please put a map of LA on their screens and pinpoint the sites where violence has occurred. Showing the same burning vehicle over and over and over again does not signal the presence of multiple burning vehicles.
    For us across the Atlantic it is sad and sickening but for people in the US it could be a trigger for more unrest.

    You were accused of misrepresentation when it comes to the actions of Trump.

    Your response talked about Biden.

    If you actually addressed points made to you, maybe your responses would be taken more seriously.

    we should ignore things like this too. Sounds like all that adderall has done a number on poor Donnie.

    For all the abuse Biden got for being old, I can see Trump aging in a far worse manner.

    Plus the very visible sign on one of his hands of an intravenous drip.

    Completely unnecessary. There was two hundred odd protesters at the start,easily monitored by the cops. Might well be over by now if he hadn't been so eager to demonstrate his power.

    Any news on his ear yet, isn't there a medical report or something due.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,046 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Trump wont release his medical records and what are released are obvious fabrications by one of his stooges.

    Something those who default to but but Biden are noticeably disinterested in examining further…

    California has filed an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order to block Trump’s illegal deployment of Marines and National Guard in LA.

    The Felon also lied about having a call with Newson yesterday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,669 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    It will just be said that he has the best ear, the strongest ear of any president.

    Just like he is 6'4 and 235lbs…if that is true, then I am Michael Jordan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,373 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Trump calling for the arrest of the Governor without any charges or reason, when he's a 34 times convicted felon is peak irony

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,046 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    And we are being told it is done for law and order?

    Its peak fascism.

    Not as ironic as a man who would fail a vettting test being voted in by people who won't shut up about unvetted men being all over the place.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,464 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Saw this quote earlier, it couldn't be more apt.

    "Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions and laughed delightedly at his licentiousness and thought it very superior of him to acquire vast amounts of gold illicitly."

    Piss Bags Donnie. I bet he hates Newsom because he doesn’t have to wear a piss bag. I wonder if his piss bag burst when he fell over on those stairs last week. Legs covered in piss angrily shouting down the phone to send the army to Los Angeles.

    That would be ironic if there was some kind of common standard of behaviour that all U.S. politicians adhered to, but that has gone out the window. There is no limit of political depravity Trump could stoop to that would cause his followers to stop defending him or even turn on him. Well…. other than coming out as a Democrat, maybe.

    The standard for Trump is what's good for him. What aggrandises him and consolidates his power. That's all.

    When he accuses his opponents of things he's doing, and doing worse than what he's accusing them of, he knows they'll be outraged and be almost paralysed by it. They'll jump up and down…. they'll vent and then he'll do it again tomorrow. It's really been an intrinsic part of his political survival strategy and I don't think we cannot say that it's not working. He's still there nearly a decade later after waddling onto the world stage.

    Protests are breaking out in other US cities apparently over ICE heavy handed approach.

    Probably would have petered out but for Trump. Can see nationwide unrest. Once it starts it'll be hard to stop.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,397 ✭✭✭mountain


    trump will be delighted to see “riots” in other cities, an excuse to roll out more troops, he’s relishing in this

    That is exactly what he wants, civil unrest, riots, then he can declare martial law and send in the army to 'keep the peace'. And he can do what he wants.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,056 ✭✭✭nachouser


    It's actually kinda ridiculous when you think about it. Adults in serious positions of power trading barbs online.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,464 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Would the army be able to contain unrest in multiple cities across the country at the same time without actually killing people? I'm sure there's a plan somewhere for it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,464 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    The Felon has announced he's renaming a number of military bases after Confederates. Fitting really, seeing as he's a traitor to the constitution himself.

    Listen, Trump has done a lot of silly things… but redefining history in his own fat shadow isn't bad

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,716 ✭✭✭skimpydoo


    Will Trump treat Dallas and Texas differently to LA and California? I only ask as Texas is Red and California is Blue.

    Any more leaks from the kiddie fiddler Epstein files?

    "If there's any protest once they come out, they will be met with very big force," Trump told reporters Tuesday. "I haven't even heard about a protest. But people that hate our country … they will be met with very heavy force." 

    Peaceful protest no longer permitted in fascist America. Where's the Orwell expert gone?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,224 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    Ref LA and California, if this is part of the Trump playbook, the other 22 states with Democrat governors may have to update their states legal defences in preparation for their turn of his attention. Similarly, any of the 27 Republican state governors who have offended against Trump's ego should be prepared for the same treatment after he has finished with the Democrat governors as they will be the only ones around: first they came for the…. then there was only us left.

    There are gun nuts wrestling with themselves right now. Do you allow orange man install himself as monarch, or shoot him dead for trying… as your Constitution allows?
