I wonder how trump's ego will cope with being known as the worst president ever.
He'll see a report on fox news/breitbart/jackanory and realise he's actually the sexiest/biggly handed/highest ratingest president ever!!
Love you too <3
Isn't that just a poor attempt to recycle the Joke that in fact blew up in Obamas face
You see - there's the difference, as we saw yesterday, Trump recycles [b]my[/b] jokes, instead of you weak lefties having to recycle his 😉
clueless dupe ?
or active russian sleeper (with a lovely retirement dacha waiting in the Crimea complete with wipedown bedclothes) ?
either way he's a wet dream for vladimir
No, you're just a hypocrite trying to dig yourself out of a hole.
Dammit I just got my new irony meter delivered and it's now overheated and exploded like Trump being informed about law and the constitution.
Dumb and dumber still:
He is making ninfan's increasingly desperate attempts to defend him look as feeble as... I don't know... Jeremy Corbyn at PMQ.
But waddabout whattaboutary?
The interesting thing for me that has arisen from Trump's presidency is that because he has moved from private enterprise to public service he has been subject to all the ensuing scrutiny that that entails, therefore giving us a rare opportunity to look in detail at one of the world's entrepeneurial billionaires and dissect what qualities separate these uber-rich from the rest of us relatively micro-earning 99% types. Turns out that in Trumps's case he was blessed with a priviledged start in life and a huge capacity to be self serving, other than that he's as poorly informed and stooooopid as one of those 'I served in the special forces but can't talk about it' no-mates conspiracy bores that can be found in every pub and bar in the world. Ugh.
I think in some ways trump is the figurehead of a lot of what is wrong in America, the spectacular lack of understanding of anything outside America, the disrespect and almost hatred for anything science or environmental, the weird belief that money means success at the expense of everything else and a misplaced arrogance. I think when the dust settles trump will have cost a lot of American lives and money, it'll take a few good presidents to sort out the mess he leaves. I hope America learn from this.

The only thing History teaches us in that we NEVER learn..........
America may learn from this. They have an opportunity to put things right in 4 years. If only we could put Brexshit right in such a short space of time.
I just get disappointed in the human race when hate, fear, division and greed win over decency and kindness. Sad times.
Sad times
Sad so sad, really sad, it's so really sad really which makes me so sad. What was the question again....
#orangedump
I'll rephrase, why is trump such a turd?
He's a shart?
Yep ninfan has forgotten his words again. Back to Trump love 101 for you (also available online of your bridge has WiFi)
I'm taking no response as agreement that trump is a turd.
MIke no one feeds him more than you
I sort of get why but we all know he says what he does as he craves responses and he is not actually interested in debate - rational or otherwise- he merely wants to be a contrarian and annoy someone - anyone but preferably a snowflake lefty
Given all that why do you continue to feed and fuel him?
Why do you care so much junkyard? If they don't ban the troll it's best to ridicule them and flatten their arguments. Simply post shit and get it fed back to you. If he craves this sort of attention in pity him, but in reality I think he actually believes a lot of it himself, and it's what he thinks is a decent society. We can say it's not, we'll for most people the posts tell you it's a shit society where people will kill each other to progress or survive. Who wants to sign up to that?
You are having an exchange with someone you know is trolling
You are free to think this is a productive use of your time and I am free to think its pointless and a waste of time
Imagine me more as frowning in disappointment than caring 😉
FWIW i generally appreciate your contributions on there and assume you are in OZ or some such given the times you post
Always interesting to hear other [ rational] views.
You are free to think this is a productive use of your time and I am free to think its pointless and a waste of time
Don't forget the time difference, I'm drinking a beer, editing today's rowdy trail video and chilling out while posting a bit. Also arguing with idiots is good practice at times, keeps me a little sharper when dealing with the knuckle dragging racists.
yes fair point where as I am failing to persuade my kids to go out in horrible weather to ride a bike on a cold dreary sunday morning....I take it all back i hate you 😉
Sobs gently
I'll just be leaving this here....
😆
Alex Jones is one of the X men?
it's best to ridicule them and flatten their arguments.
But nobody actually believes his arguments, least of all him, so the net result is just that the forum gets clogged up with garbage - his and yours.
You are having an exchange with someone you know is trolling
Trolling or not I for one welcome ninfan's contributions, and I look forward to them in the same way as I wait in eager anticipation for Donald Trump's next absurd halfwit declaration.
Apart from the obvious damage it does to their alt-right cause in the eyes of normal people the entertainment value of them making themselves look ridiculous in public is priceless.
Obviously it adds extra value when Chewwy joins in.
I wouldn't want to engage them though*, they are perfectly capable of damning themselves without any help from anyone.
* In reasoned debate.
Feeling the troll isn't very fun, it's a bit like listening to the radio and you can only get one station and it only plays one song, and the songs rubbish. No matter what you do you can't affect them playing that song so you might as well just tune it out. Then burn the radio. Then make valid and pertinent points about the idiocy of the American president near the radio but not directly at it.
😆
Can't say I've been following the black farce closely of late. Even the beeb and other U.K. news outlets seem to have tired of reporting what that orange buffoon has been up to lately.
Is it still the same in here? Jambalaya still banging the drum in spite of how ridiculous and one-eyed even a relatively erudite right winger now looks? Ninfan still trolling whilst just about avoiding breaking into the Horst Wessel Lied out loud or being given another mandatory holiday? Chewkw working through the stockpiled pre-ban legal highs and trying to get a rise?
As you were, then.

@dannyh - more or less, yeah.POSTED 2 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST
It's nice to have an anchor point in life.
I'm glad you've brought that up ninfan, I'd forgotten about it. Outofbreath never did answer my question, which was, I'm sure you remember :
[i]
"Can you explain how because I point out that ninfan is only interested in scoring points and mocking people it means that I give a monkeys about his opinions? Can you do that?"[/i]
I guess he couldn't think of an answer.
And where is he btw? He's the first, and only one, to defend you. Has even he given up on you?
go home America, you're drunk
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/326915/bruised-us-diplomat-leaves-new-zealand
(not Trump related in any way other than that Trump recalled his ambassador to NZ and hasnt replaced him yet)
It's strange how quiet he goes over the weekend now, maybe his phone has been taken off him or he just had some really good games of golf on the tax payers expense.
Trump is spot on about NATO, too many freeloaders Germany being one of the worst. He's been asked to "back NATO 100%" by UK and others to give others a chance to respond and work up plans to increase their spending and/or the pace of those increases. Sooner or later he's going to light a rocket under NATO members not oaying their way, Obama declined to respond to Russia's invasion / annexation of Crimea saying it was Europe's problem, Trump is just more overt - pay up or we won't dabe your arse when Russia comes knocking.
Trump is right, there arent enough tanks, bombs and killing devices in the world, we should all tool up coz he says its a good idea....
and Killary was the one that was definitely gonna start some wars 😆

Spending commitments in place, moving in the right direction already so why is Trump complaining?
The the reasoning behind it all
https://twitter.com/IvoHDaalder/status/843105839091273728
From the former US ambassador to Nato.

From the [b]former[/b] US ambassador to Nato.
They really still don't get it do they? 😆
Basically there is a new rule being set by President Trump. It is simple, Nato alliances now have to contribute more as demanded by USA. They have been Told, they are not asked nor negotiate. [b]They are told to contribute more simple.[/b] 😆
[b]It is Not what the rules say but it is simply cough up or fight for yourselves.[/b]
If Nato alliances want keep messing about the solution is simple, all President Trump needs to do is to say USA is pulling out Nato with several of those alliances in addition to stopping arm supply to those remaining Nato alliances.
On top of that impose on Germany the WWII terms and conditions so they are not to develop arms again.
Then sit back and see all of them bow.
Spending commitments in place, moving in the right direction already so why is Trump complaining?
All NATO countries, including Germany, have committed to spend 2% of GDP on defense by 2024. So far 5 of 28 NATO countries do.
Let's get this straight, the 2% was agreed in 2006 as an achievable target since it was [b]already[/b] the median spending amongst NATO members from 1993-2003
Nato alliances now have to contribute [s]more as demanded by USA.[/s] the amount they agreed to over a decade ago
FTFY
The fact that ten years later only five countries are meeting it is utterly 'king shameful (actually even worse than this, since the agreed target is 2% GDP spend, of which 20% of which is investment, which IIRC only two countries have met, UK and US, and Poland will meet this year)
The fact that the Germans are shimfing over even this, claiming it will take them till 2024 to meet the target, despite being the biggest and richest Continental European economy, and a direct neighbour of those countries most at threat from a resurgent Russia, is an utter joke. Germany and the German economy rose to its prominent position entirely on the back of the security offered to it by the occupying powers, and has the rest of NATO to thank for unification.
Does it create a direct fiscal debt, no, does it create a moral debt whereby we and the US have been shelling out while they have freeloaded off the rest of us, and should now pay their dues and pay back what is owed by securing their neighbours - damn strait it does.
I'm going to leave ^THAT^ well alone.
I have been wondering why he's doing this (Trump, not Chewkw). The only reason I can think of is that The Donald is trying to build a rationale for cutting US defense spending.
The narrative will be that the US is being RIPPED OFF into paying more, because those nasty Germans aren't paying their way. Donald has negotiated a NEW DEAL which saves Americans millions of dollars.
Obviously that's totally nonsense - US military spending is completely independent of what anyone else (including the Germans) is doing. However - the hard-of-thinking will lap it up.
