Is not liking people who hate America racism? Congress doesn't think so, cos they voted down yesterday's motion. The promlem is terms like racist and concentration camp are now being used freely for political gain, which will diminish their true meaning. That's the thing about identity politics, you have to stick labels on everything, and the worse they are the better it is.

I think (for about the twelfth trillion time tyiuve been told this) you really ought to practise what you preach about your news sources and what others should read when you preach the same political message all the time 😂😂😂

All I can say is I tend to get more things right than I get wrong, so the proof of the pudding is in the eating :biggrin:

I don't think I can respond reasonably to that.... Forget about who said it and the political climate, if you can't see that was racist then we don't even live on the same planet.

You are out of line with the majority of people in America too, so your opinion doesn't count for much, even if you think it does. You may love the Squad and everything they stand for, but most people don't.

Q Will you be taking any action on Iran *today*?
Trump: “A big event just happened in Iran. A big event.”
Q And what will you be doing about it, sir?
Trump: “A big event.”
Since the above was posted it appears a US warship there shot down an Iranian drone. Whether that was the "big event" Trump spoke of is unclear at the moment.

So, it's 1-1 in the drone wars?

Re: The Donald Trump thread
That ship has, apparently, 2,000 US marines aboard. Also today the US has demanded Iran return a UAE tanker it supposedly pinched.

Re: The Donald Trump thread
Since these Iran tensions flared up last month I've taken to sleeping under the bed rather than on it.
It's made more uncomfortable as I wear a bicycle safety helmet.

That sounds like a good strategy. I have been tunneling into a nearby mountain for the past 10 years :nurse:

Re: The Donald Trump thread
Are these Iranian shenanigans a distraction from today's latest chapter in the Epstein saga, or are both distractions from something else about to go down the crapper such as Deutsche Bank being flushed?

Re: The Donald Trump thread
I have always reckoned that cock-up explains events more accurately than conspiracy.
However, I may just be persuaded by life on mars that the 'horseshoe principle' applies here.
The more 'they' conspire, the more likely they are to cock it up? Although I expect we'll have a different view on who 'they' are.

'They' just have to include at the top the biggest names in banking who have the privilege of creating an infinite amount of currency out of nothing at virtually no cost to loan with interest attached. They have indebted every country on the planet for there is not one amongst the 200 or so which is a creditor nation. The US has a national debt of $22 trillion and is running a trillion dollar budget deficit every year. Their central bank, the Federal Reserve, is privately owned and no-one knows who its shareholders are. The US government borrows money from it at interest instead of creating and issuing debt-free currency itself. Amazing but true, and since its creation in 1913 it has never been independently audited. Which leads in nicely to one of my favourite quotes - “The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts.” Henry Ford (1932).

He posts a quote by someone who has lived too close and too long to the political bubble saying that what his idol did was "politically brilliant" - I'm still hopeful that people with a more rounded appreciation of life found it morally repugnant.

I read somewhere yesterday that even Trump himself regretted on reflection the rally reaction and his part in it.
If true someone check up on Wales Bales as his head will be in a right state working out how to react.

Most people found it morally repugnant - even a few Republicans and Fox News regulars. But racist attacks are fine with W-B/Ronnie as long as their boy brilliantly winds up his base and creates another false 'enemy within'. He and his apologists are sickening.

It's not going well .
See a second term ?..
Trump latest alleged racist remarks, reminds me off a lot of lads pub /work chatter during Brexit where they couldn't eloquently describe their views about the impact on their communities of immigration , and the actions of second generations British citizens delivering terror on the very streets that has provided them and their families a better life when seeking asylum .
It does seem immigration hatred and its impact ,racism , non inclusiveness is all around us .

Re: The Donald Trump thread
I think he's deliberately provoking a democrat reaction in defence of these females ,who are pretty universally unpopular in the United States of America , thus associating the democrats with these unpopular creatures.
You must understand that people in America are not yet conditioned to defend all Islamic stuff in the way that British people are.

I know you're sensitive so I wouldn't normally say this, but what an absolutely bullshit take that is.
No one can compare the US president publicly telling elected representatives to go back to the crime infested places they came from people talking in the pub about terrorists.
I don't expect lifeonmars/walesbales/ronnie to, but surely everyone else can recognise that all this is potentially the beginning of a very dark chapter in America's history. We have to hope the worst doesn't happen from hereon.

Trump has played a blinder here, it's all political theatre, and just another excuse for the resident lefties to indulge in their favourite pastime of virtue signaling. His original tweet said if they hate America so much, they should go and fix another country and then COME BACK and show them how they did it, i.e. they just complain and don't do anything!

Trump has destroyed the leftist argument, end of story. Nancy Pelosi is livid!
