The only thing upsetting you lot
Have you not been looking at the news ?Its everyone but you and the klan
looking at the news
And what point do you think you're proving there? 😆
And what point do you think you're proving there?
That you and a few (other?) crazy Klan members and Skinheads don't represent us?
Presumably you're now going to suggest that [url= https://twitter.com/SpeakerRyan/status/897579093184610305 ]Paul Ryan's twitter[/url] is part of #fakenews?
Do ninfan as said above would you personally defend the right of radical Islamic preachers to say their bit?
It appears a bunch of other right to be a racist prick types are getting ready for more free speech rallies in the US. I hope they all leave their car keys at home.

S'funny - It used to be I got accused of being a Zionist. Now it seems I'm one of those Unorthodox Jews that Ken Livingstone was fascinated by

Happily, as long as they're inciting violence

the obvious point you sidestepped rather than egageAnd what point do you think you're proving there?
Everyone know who has criticised the POTUS and who has supported him
Likewise we know who has criticised fascist racist Nazi [ everyone] and who has not.
Your sidestep shows only your MO[ and you cannot negate the point I made] on here when faced with the irrefutable truth and nothing more.
Your last post is quite odd and i have no idea how to counter it with rational discourse. I shall let the forum decide if that is my failing on yours
It's the random angry troll post app. Who cares if it contradicted any other post or opinions previously posted.
On another note - the footage of the protest in Boston was comforting. A handful of right wing campaigners completely drowned out by popular voice. The footage on the beeb* was great - "We can't hear you!"
Trump's answer to all this: "Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you."
Make up your own mind. Personally, I've gone from thinking that Trump's a moron/loose cannon, to thinking that a lot of this is more calculated. Not by him, obviously, he's too thick for that. Worrying that there are people as awful as Bannon still on board.
*"Fake news", obvs. I'm sure ninfan/chewkw will have an "alternative" factoid about the size of the crowd 😆
Voltaire is utterley embedded in US culture
oh please, spare us your nonsense. Half the population thought that the Karl Marx phrase "from each according to his needs..." was from of the constitution.
[url= http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtid=2&psid=3230 ]they aren't sure about Marx, they sure as hell haven't heard about Voltaire. [/url]
"He didn't say that he'd defend it. That would have been Voltaire's biographer Evelyn Beatrice Hall"As noted here, the quotation that Mr. Ninfan credits to Voltaire never actually happened. That would be fake news then.
After weeks of warnings not to stare directly at the sun during the eclipse....

But he is the President he doesn't need science cramping his style, and doesn't that man have style I can see why the women throw themselves at him.
Whilst I accept Voltaire was contemporaneous to the constitution I very much doubt many US citizens can explain him and I personally thought British philosophical thought and legal statutes dating to the Magna Carter had greater influence than French Philosophers in general and him in particular.
As I understand it, the American Constitution is based directly on Magna Carta, and the Supreme Court moved into a new building in 1935 with "Equal Justice Under Law" on its frontage, and on one of its main doors an image of Magna Carta, among other legal references.

Seems like Trump has as much patience with what rights the Magna Carta sets out as King John did...

That shouyld settle that one 😉
Haha that Trump watching the eclipse photo has made my day. I can just imagine him thinking "****ing scientists making up shit, I'll show them"
approval now down to less than 1/3rd in some polls
http://americanresearchgroup.com/economy/
538 still has him on average of 37.1
interesting to see if his u-turn on afghanistan will have a any further impact
Thanks to the Activated Almonds thread,everytime I see or hear Trump I shall now say (or think)"Knob Clanger" .
Could this be what The Donald leaves as his legacy?

Endgame.
He's managed to sack most of his support, lost his business and arts advisory councils, and is now sitting in the naughty corner being completely ignored by the Republican Majority Leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell and the military who, it seems, are now running the show.
His response is to have one of his little rallies and complain about the media.
What a pathetic dunce the man is.

Classic deflection tactics. Create an unrealistic target, blame failures to achieve that target on a minority and the perceived "enemies of the people".
Looking more and more like a tin potty dictator every day.
According to him quoting himself about the charlottesville speech. No mention of "on many many sides". Apparently fake news.
He's totally nuts.
He's a weapons grade lunatic
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/23/donald-trump-arizona-rally-phoenix?CMP=fb_gu
It's all about clinging onto that core 1/3rd of the vote that will keep the Reps in check at the midterms.
That & he's a preening narcissist, who craves the attention of the arena rallies.
There he can present his own version of reality, where he didn't equate both sides & say that Nazis were fine people, using the language of the alt-right, like 'antifa' shows he's playing to his audience, feeding into the alt-right conspiracy theories & paranoias..
None of which will improve b the lives of the left-behind.

Enough about Ninfan, what about Trump?

Speechless

Speaking of his audience - who are they?
See the black guy with the T shirt that says "Trump is not racist"? See the bit that says gods2.com?

From woppit's link to the indy story - Trump has studied Afghanistan ..
"An hour earlier, he almost certainly thought Afghanistan was Jennifer Aniston’s younger sister, Afgh."
Be interesting to see how the base goes now shitebart have launched both barrels at Trump, who is fake news these days?

Once again Donald finds out that it commentating on a presidency from the sidelines is far easier than actually being president.

Lock her up!!!
etc etc.
As mikewsmith says. Should be interesting to see what happens now he is going against the core fanbase. I suspect some more infighting to try and get the power back.
Amusing that the drain the swamp placards are still Popular at his rallies.
Ex Goldman Sachs have done so well through trumps appointments that they are looking to remove the post crash regs designed to stop leaving the banks so vulnerable again.
Foxes & hen house !

Clean coal 🙄
I thought Mexico were paying for the wall, must have been fakenews.
Like it or not Trump is winning. Thats what he believes and what he believes is all that matters (to him), everything else is fake. He'll do two terms and start a dynasty of heredity Trump presidents based on the new constitution thats better and less fake, it will give more freedoms for all to have him and his family forever. Anyone who objects will just dishonest and anti-USA.

He told the Mexicans that he would pay they just have to pretend to 😉 So bigly awesome.
@mt thankfully those that belive that are a shrinking group
So he threatens to "shut down the federal government"? Go then.
Not only, i suspect is that actually impossible, but i'd give it a max of 24hrs before someone shoots him after he did that.
Lunatic in the White House.
Not only, i suspect is that actually impossible
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_shutdown_of_2013
"Shutting down the federal government" is another way of saying "Drain the swamp" to his supporters. Another way of looking at it is that aligning the federal government with those opposed to "the will of the people" (i.e. his core support) then they'll see future announcements about rolling back "big government" as a good thing. This despite those institutions being the very ones protecting them against the unbridled power that Trump craves.
Trump maybe draining the swamp but he's replacing it with a cesspit of his own making.

Can we not just build him a Truman Show set where he really is in charge and everything is staged so that his decisions are the correct ones?
