Re: The Donald Trump thread

You have a few out there opinions Jon, but criticising the judiciary, conspiracy theorist and mistaking thinking someone shouldn't be assasinated for fawning in one post is pretty good going!

Thanks. Apology accepted.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

So point them out. Because I think the people on here who accuse me of a lack of balance are the exact people incapable of it themselves - yourself perhaps included? If you had any objectivity on it you wouldn't be calling me out on this, you would be doing so to others.

And yes, I am anchored to a rock that political violence and violent language is wrong. Your best observation yet!

So, did you call out Trump and his followers for the Jan 6th riots?

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Sure, of course any insurrection to overthrow the government is completely outrageous and an affront to democracy. There's varying stories about that day, and videos of that lead guy in the bearskin thing being shown around by police which is curious, but it's plainly totally wrong and was a violent attack on a democratic institution.

Whats also wrong was Trumps inability to accept defeat with grace, his mocking of the disabled and many other things he's said.

Doesn't mean that shooting the guy is the answer!

Quite right. I wish people would stop saying that shooting the guy is the answer!

That reminds me, my missus wants some Agent Provocateur underwear for her birthday. She absolutely loves it, and so do I

Do you not think that Trump played his part by inciting those riots?

I know right. The noise is driving the local dogs wild!

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Trump picks his running mate. J.D. Vance. I'm not sure what it is with Americans using their initials.

An interesting pick to say the least, in his 30s, published author and made some interesting past comments on his new boss..

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Jack Smith did not pull it from the docket. The judge did. The originally scheduled trial date of March 4 has become untenable due to Trump's assertion of presidential immunity. That assertion must be tested in the courts, including almost certainly the Supreme Court. So, the judge basically put the case on hold until the immunity issue is resolved.

So, it looks like that's the end of Jack for now, case dismissed and talk of unconstitutional lawfare attacks.

America is insane

Political murders happen in mad countries

Given that what most people would consider decent human beings get murdered from time to time I think it's not really surprising that a disturbed and motivated person tried to knock off a thoroughly divisive and rotten individual such a trump

He's courted publicity and headlines and controversy and whipped up division

He's absolutely loved it all

But now he is suddenly to be wrapped in a blanket ?

I am afraid this is part of the world he has created

It's missing the point to say that people say he's asked for that, deserved it etc etc

He and his rabid followers are right at the core of all this not a few people on a messageboard using gallows humour

Forget about the bloke in the bearskin conspiracy crap

There were hundreds and hundreds of redneck nutcases on Capitol Hill that day armed and very dangerous

Many innocent people could have died that day

Just because trump and his pathetic spoilt followers didn't like losing

That's the problem in America

That leads eventually to a 20 year old disturbed individual trying to kill someone who is intensely disliked by as many people who worship him like a demi god

It's like an insane side project of Heart Of Darkness

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Interesting to read that the family of the guy shot and killed at the rally have refused Biden's call but not heard from Trump. This says a lot about the three parties involved.
