    you wonder at what point the media are going to stop reporting these climbfowns with a straight face



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,522 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    God he is such an embarrassment, trying to pass the buck onto the Saudis and the UAE like a spoiled child aswell, backing down from an empty threat like this once is total humiliation for the US and this is his ninth or tenth time around, its just mind-boggling that we've had to listen to this complete failure of a man for 12 years now with the worst probably still to come.

    has this been mentioned here yet?

    It should speed things along nicely. don't you think?

    I'm happy to see him climb down (repeatedly). I just hope he doesn't go through with what he's been threatening one of these days. Trump seems to want to do it, we all know what Bibi wants, and I can't see Hegseth saying "no" to raining fire on the the ME in the name of the Lord, so perhaps it is strong advice from the remaining sane US military leadership or people like Rubio putting a break on this disaster?

    Don’t worry, the checks (cheques?) and balances will be along any second

    Cheques and (bank) balances

    Knowing Trump, they'll be bouncing checks.😁

    When I read and see about the Trump Presidency, i think of Julia Louis Dreyfus of VEEP fame saying a few years ago that one reason for ending the show was that it could not compete with the goings on in the White House on an everyday basis.

    I’m convinced it’s his own genuine reluctance to cause mass civilian casualties that’s holding him back. But if it’s the case that he’s never going to press the button on this he needs to call off this ridiculous charade…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,558 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    Can he now or has he come to believe his own version of truth, that reality doesn't exist for him? I believe that there is the rational reality and then there is his reality.

    This 1.77 Billion $ fund his DOJ has supposedly set up from tax payer funds for those alleged to have suffered at Joe's hands with the proviso that the same Dept accepts no responsibiliy for the dispersal of the funds whatsoever and the use it's recipients put it to after being gifted with cash from it is another sign, like the Ballroom and the memorial Arch, that Trump is using the U.S national exchequer funds as his private slush fund for the unworthy. I expect Rudy from New York, the ex-mayor, to be on the gift list. It's now down to the U.S taxpayer, the ones Trump has said he doesn't care about, to take their future into their own hands and out of his grasp.

    It's a reality that the solution to the problem Trump has presented to not just the U.S, but to the world, is in the hands of the U.s alone. It created the monster and it's for them to terminate his insane rampage. I am sorry that back when the evidence of his breakdown became plain over five years ago, on the day of the Capitol Hill event, that the U.S at the time didn't end his careering around the U.S. It had cause enough at that time to end it with finality but no one literally wanted the blood of a traitor-president on their hands. What has happened is now down to the GOP alone.

    What ever about Obama, Biden raised a drug addict and then goes around calling him one of the smartest people he knows. Biden last few years was a joke , his administation where embarresed for him and hid him in the white house. The man didnt know where he was , and dont forget Biden was caught plagiarizing speechs. Sure the man couldnt even walk up a stairs.

    😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I’m embarresed (sic) for you if that’s your best defence of sleepy don

    why are Trump supporters still talking about Biden?

    Biden derangement syndrome.

    Who cares abour Biden? There's a new geriatric president in control of the US now to laugh at.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,379 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Did you read the post, Im not defending anyone. Just user everlast75 said Biden was respected just pointing out the facts he is not respected.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,138 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    News flash, Trumps sons sniff enough snow to cover the Arctic.

    Pretty low as well to take a punt at Hunter, but that’s how pathetic your attempts are at deflections now cause your boy is getting whooped in Iran of all places.

    Post a recent video of Trump going up stairs, or trying to stay awake in a meeting, go on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,379 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Biden called him one of the smartest person he knows, do you think thats sane judgement , Crack Cocaine drug user who hangs out with hookers . I dont have to defend trump because I am not talking about him just how Biden and his family are not respected .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,138 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    More deflection. This is the Trump thread, he is the sitting president, just to remind you.

    It’s not surprising that you won’t talk about Trump, you never really do other than with “but Biden” or “but Obama”. That’s telling us all we need to know, sweetheart.

    Trump has raised two drug addicts and the jury is still out on the 3rd.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 428 ✭✭somenergy

    If "but Biden" is really the best you can do, then you've already lost. Newsflash - the beloved Trump feels nothing but contempt for you, and would cheerfully fleece you of everything you had given the opportunity. Time to start getting on the right side of history.

    Of course they're respected. There's a difference between someone making some bad choices and the Trump family who have the moral compass of tapeworms.

    Yet again whataboutery is all the MAGAs have.

    His son was an addict. probably because he survived a car crash that killed his sister and mother. His addiction worsened when his brother then died of brain cancer in 2015.

    I'd say that I would probably be addicted to drugs if that happened to me.

    Hunter's addiction in no way impacts on Biden as a president, or as a father. Biden did not cause it. He didn't neglect his son. In fact, he continued to support him. That makes him a proper father to me.

    You reference hanging around with hookers as a criticism. I don't seem to remember you expressing a view on Trump f**king a porn star while his third wife was at home with a baby, but then again, I'm not surprised.

    The world respected the U.S. under Obama and Biden

    Everlast was arguing that the world repected the US, rather than individual leaders, but even then there was not the utter contempt for Biden that there is for Trump.

    If Biden had inadequacies he was not despised and laughed at by internation leaders as Trump is. Trump is beyond being despised at this stage. In allowing this charade to continue, the US, specifically the Republican party, is as culpable as Trump himself.

    I don't think you should focus on plagiarisation by the way, not when you are defending a President who doesn't have the intelligence to plagiarise, but quotes films and fiction. Remember how much he admires Hannibal Lecter?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,926 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    And his 3rd wife copying Michelle Obama's speech too...

    "Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?

    Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction."

    There ya go folks. The law means absolutely sweet f**k all to this guy. And it's not about loyalty, like he says it is. It's about encouraging people to do it again for him.

    Utterly lawless. A convicted felon doing a convicted felon things in the open, all while being the president of the United States.

    It's hilarious how people who claim to not be Trump supporters always end up supporting Trump.

    Wait…are you telling me that the renouned & erudite patron of the "Be Best" campaign had just plagerised the speech of a somewhat recent First Lady? Say it aint so everlast! :P



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,848 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    "Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction."

    Is that not an admission that he was the one who set the mob on the capitol, attacking numerous police officers on the way. And now he wants to give them money??? Who is going to administer this distribution of 1.7 billion of taxpayers money?, will there be any accountability?. Will the J6rs who were subsequently jailed for child abuse and other various crimes be getting money. Will any reporter have the guts to ask Trump if he thinks that those rioters caught on camera deserve a payoff?

    Of course they will.

    They will be met with "you are fake news".

    You covered it already.
