Thanks for the slightly condescending advice.
You’re right I will spend my time on message boards listening to those who share alt right viewpoints as opposed to respected experts👍

You would have thought that a self-confessed/self obsessed font of all knowledge would value expertise but I presume it's only other people's that he is advising you to be wary of!

It's similar to Pavlov's dog in many ways, no matter what lies and lunacy Trump comes out with the I know everything about everything crew on here have to defend his actions - it's as if they can't stop themselves from doing it.

What are the chances that they both defend absolutely anything Trump says, eh? But then, these two are so similar in so many ways, not least their obsession with posting on ccmb, that perhaps it's not a surprise.

It would not shock me if they both got back from a lovely day out at Barry Island/Hunstanton* (delete as appropriate) and backslapped themselves to sleep.

I'm still waiting the name of the source, as all we know at the moment is that he is "some bloke".

Re: The Donald Trump thread
Max Keiser, of The Keiser Report show on RT fame, was once an ardent Trumpkin but during the latest episode broadcast on Saturday (embedded below) he said Trump's "completely out of his mind" at the 3' mark. Whether he is or is merely role-playing the part of an economic madman is moot because either way he's going to be the patsy for sinking the globe's financial system to ensure a horrible future for everyone bar for those who have access to remote boltholes and private armies to protect them.
The first half of this show, which is 15 minutes or so, discusses the ramifications of worldwide negative interest rates. It will mark the near end of the debt game before its implosion.

I have to say it does appear some watch every fart he makes and say how much they despise him , a therapist would suggest a dark room and try not listen to the mention of his name .
It could be though the Trump haters have a hard on for od Hillary and are very unforgiving , after she was beaten by this Trump chap, bitterness is not a nice thing ??

Almost erudite for you. Trump has risen by "farting" (as you so eloquently put it) 140/280 characters at a time. Some of his slavish followers on here openly testify that the Twitter limit as they surf justifying his latest puerile outpouring is all they can absorb. It is a little amusing that they ape the "Chosen One's" MO without a hint of recognition that they are a duped follower rather than a left field opinion leader.
The pathetic thing is this is the behaviour of the supposed Leader of the Free World. He diminishes a great country and encourages apes like Johnson, Salvini and Bolsonaro to act in the same way.

Haha, you and lardy and going to go down in CCMB history as two of the most ridiculous posters ever, and to be fair to Trump he made you guys look like a pair of idiots with your Russia Collusion Delusion nightmare! :biggrin:

Re: The Donald Trump thread
This Trump post must be the most popular contrubtion ever on CCMB, and folk still say were Trump fans , bloody barmpots if you ask me ,or becoming very bitter about the wrong accusations levelled at Trump and the fact it nevers sticks .
I have lost count on the number or wars, prostitutes and impeachments he should have had , never mind the countless accusations of Russian collision conspiracies .
Where's the evidence ,where's the war ,where's old stormy pants and the naughty girls (well richer now I guess).
Why don't the anti Trump lefties, take a breath and have a go at the nasty Democrats , who are having a go at a decent man in Bernie Sanders and his socialist views.

You'd have though some of the posters would have would have wound their necks in after being done like a kipper by the mainstream media over the Trump Russia Dellusion, but no chance of that they just double down and carry on blurting out a constant stream of BS from the same sources. In some people's books this is the definition of insanity, and it is quite amusing to watch. There is no such thing as self-appraisal with these kids!

Just suggesting that people think for themselves. Try to address the issues and facts rather than treating rational thought as a spectator sport in which your only choice is which person's opinion to adopt.

Now there is a novel thought! :biggrin: It does work though, as I have proved countless times. Maybe it's an education thing? I was taught to question everything, and they made sure we had requisite research skills to complete the task. Reading the Guardian or BBC website is not questioning anything in my book, it's just another example of the binary thinking disease.

Ever so sorry, sir, for continuing to discuss Trump in The Donald Trump Thread. Perhaps if sir doesn't like it, sir could refrain from opening and reading the thread?
It's a race to be the nominee, of course those who support other candidates will criticise him. Exactly the same happens all the time. Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio are great examples of people who heavily criticised Trump but (embarrassingly) flipped when he got elected.

Just pointing out ones infatuation with Trump as other political narratives past one by , I keep ypu updated though as it probably helps one balance ones views and avoids blinkered views.

Therefore, when you say "Maybe it's an education thing? I was taught to question everything", you're aren't talking about your formal education then? What you say above, all sounds pretty impressive until you realise that it simply isn't true - how can it be when your self proclaimed deductive reasoning and redeployed research skills appear to fly out of the window when it comes to the subject of this thread? You and the other members of the mutual admiration society that is the I know everything about everything club have no acknowledgement of shades of grey whatsoever, whereas quite a few of us, who you and Mr Bird were dismissing as sheep a week or two ago, have shown an ability to recognise that there can be a truth which lies between the two extremes.

Before the internet, the only source of up to date information on current affairs was the media, so it wasn't commonly known that they manipulated events. I already had the research skills, but there was no access to raw data to discover these things independently. When I saw what was happening with the WOMD story, I took note of it, and I changed my strategy. So yes, it is an educational thing when you are able to modify your own behaviour when confronted with new knowledge. In the piece above I am mostly talking the post-internet age, where there really are no excuses if you get hoodwinked by the media. I have cleaned up my information game, whereas you clearly haven't. Don't worry about what other people are doing, just take a good took at yourself and see what you are doing wrong today. Life is a journey for everybody, and it's never too late to change your ways.

None of which addresses the point I make in my message which, to put it another way, for all of your self proclaimed qualities and research, I know for a fact how you will react to any story about Donald Trump that appears in this thread. Who knows, perhaps it was one of the twenty nine per cent (actually, I see it's back down to twenty eight per cent now) of occasions when, according to a respected fact checking site, Trump was telling what could be a called a half truth, mostly true or the truth when he said he didn't advocate nuking hurricanes, but there are dozens of examples of ludicrous statements and lies by the man called the most powerful in the world in this thread and yet your reaction to them is always the same.
