Re: The Donald Trump thread

You are either with the CCP or you are against them, and I think quite a few people on here are with them!

How is critiquing Trump pro-CCP?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Of course, you can agree with it - I would not have expected anything different from you. Meanwhile, in the real world, criticism of Trump does not automatically equate to support for the Chinese Communist Party - that was one of Gluey's feeblest comebacks yet and there is plenty of competition for that prize isn't there.

So, when it comes to HK & USA v CCP whose side will you be on? Will you support the efforts of Trump siding with the HK people?

I use the term CCP because it's not the general population of China who are doing this, and they also suffer the consequences of living under a communist regime.

It's not critiquing, it's a general hatred of everything he does, a.k.a Trump Derangement Syndrome, and some people would side with the CCP rather than give him credit for anything. Personally, I support the current effort to expose the corruption among the small group of people within the FBI, CIA, State Dept & DOJ, etc., who were attempting to overthrow a sitting US president. It's not just about Trump either, as they have the power to ruin anybody who doesn't fit in with their worldview. It seems to be a global problem too, since other countries were also playing a role in this subversion of democracy. There were also some people on this MB who were attempting to cover up the truth, by posting Russia collusion propaganda on a daily basis for over three years!

So not being a fan of Trump is siding with the CCP? The guy who is a racist liar and is against social media calling him out? The guy who was impeached? Not liking him is siding with the CCP?

Your logic, tbh, is kinda flawed

Like I said it's not about Trump, you will have to research the topic for yourself if you want to see past the propaganda, but the truth is going to come out and it's not going to be pretty.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

“Social media has been allowed to operate unchecked for years while enjoying the protection of federal law. These Silicon Valley giants have set themselves up as the arbiters of truth, censoring or labeling posts they disagree with, but they have shown that they cannot be trusted to be honest and fair. We have known for a long time that social media companies have it in for conservatives in general and President Trump specifically. There are various reasons we pulled our massive advertising spending from Twitter months ago, and their obvious political bias is one of them. In the most recent egregious act, Twitter targeted a Trump tweet, but still leaves alone posts from Joe Biden which are obvious lies, and outrageous propaganda claims from accounts linked to the Communist Chinese government. Since social media companies have not appropriately self-regulated to stop the bias on their own, President Trump has stepped in to make sure Silicon Valley is held accountable for trying to manipulate the American people. Good for him and good for America.”

This is all Joe Biden's fault!

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Spot the difference:

.@Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election. They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect, based on fact-checking by Fake News CNN and the Amazon Washington Post....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 26, 2020

Years ago, when Media was legitimate, people known as “Fact Checkers” would always call to check and see if a story was accurate. Nowadays they don’t use “Fact Checkers” anymore, they just write whatever they want!

Of course. Never forget who is the real victim here - Donald J Trump.

Trump's phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" is an unattributed quote of Walter Headley, Miami's police chief in 1967. It was a threat to citizens who were upset that police had terrorized a black teenager by holding him over a bridge:

How three violent days gripped a black Miami neighborhood as Nixon was nominated in 1968

As the GOP held its convention across the river, the predominantly black Liberty City neighborhood burned in riots, which led to the death of three people.

Miami 1967 to Minnesota 2020; Walter Headley to Donald Trump. Different faces, same story, same language!

I've read a few mentions online today saying that Stephen Miller, Trump's well-known-to-be-a-racist policy advisor, is likely behind the phrasing.

Trump wouldn't remember something from 1967 unless it flared up and needed ointment.

No excuses for him using the terminology though - it's frightening and he's certainly capable of following through with the threat of violence.
