    Dan Coates Director of National Intelligence leaving office. He wasn't being listened to any way.

    I don’t know if many people listen to the Sunday morning political show in America. They are on podcast form if you’re are bothered to listen to them. Anyway the point I’m making is as bad as trump and the republicans are, the democrats on these shows are as bad. It seems any politician of both party can talk utter scutter but by including the phrase “the American people” it seems to pass the test.

    The Baltimore Sun has an interesting editorial today. Surprisingly, it's about Trump. A flavour of their thinking on The Donald:

    “The most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are ‘good people’ among murderous neo-Nazis.”

    Plus, its headline:

    “Better to have a few rats than to be one.”

    Ouch.

    Replaced by that congressman Ratcliffe who went after Mueller so hard last week. Guess that he passed the audition.

    Yet another cabinet officer gone. Just barely newsworthy these days.

    He really is assembling a gang of cronies, a bunch of yes men.

    Another example of how insecure and corrupt DJT is.

    This is ****ing disgusting.

    I'm not even referring to Trump being racist here (since that point is well established, despite the pi$$ poor defence from some here).

    What I am saying is that this (insert expletive here) has just debased the office utterly beyond recognition. These tweets are like something from a teenager who is having a row via social media with someone in his school.

    Pure pathetic adolescent crap. And this from the highest office in the Land.

    Lot of confusion in a white president there: I'm not racist, I have black friends, went to a lot of fights with him and Don King. He loved Trump [more 3rd person speak]. Lol at the conman and making a score jibe.

    His projection isn't even masked anymore.

    Anytime he pours criticism on anyone, you know he's projecting his own insecurities, even the Elijah Cummings debacle last week, Trump's Mar-a-lago resort has been in receipt of many health code violations for rodent infestations

    Surely you mean unsurprisingly? He called Baltimore "rat-infested", so deserves everything they said about him.

    At last, some real humility from President Trump

    https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1155851449693347840

    Yes, so humble is Trump, that he doesn't consider himself a 9/11 First Responder.

    Wasn't his initial response to 9/11 that he now owned the tallest building in New York? classy guy.

    The least he could do considering he claimed falsely for a reconstruction fund for small businesses.

    Said this just following the attack

    “It was an amazing phone call,” Trump replied. “I mean 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan. And it was actually before the World Trade Center was the tallest. And then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second tallest. And now it’s the tallest.”

    Said that he'd have caught Bin Laden before the attacks took place

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/donald-trump-osama-bin-laden-sept-11-attacks

    And said he lost hundreds of friends in the attack, but couldn't name a single one

    To be fair some of the tweets are kinda funny I find...:D

    Funny how exactly?

    Incidentally, there is always a tweet from Trump, showing how much of a hypocrite and hurler from the ditch he has always been

    Because there are real nuggets of truth in a lot of them, but he says it wrong. Al Sharpton for example, among the usual suspects to show up at every shooting that's big, and made an absolute fortune exploiting people.

    Even if what you say is true, which I fundamentally disagree with, on what moral or even logical authority has Trump got any right to judge anyone for "being a con", given his history with Trump college, his tax fraud, his "charity" foundation, his 10,000 plus lies etc etc etc?

    Moving past that first and huge first issue with his tweets, let's move on to his use of the highest office in the land for petty and spiteful adolescent remarks.

    I have no clue, literally none, why anyone looks upon Trump with anything but contempt.

    Funny? Ffs

    Is that the bar now? Who gives a sh1t? Why is the President trolling people on Twitter? It's not normal, doesn't he have a job to do? I be fired for grabbing someone by the pussy, I'd be fired for spouting such bile on Twitter. I'm sick and tired of this being perceived as some kind of normality.


  • Registered Users Posts: 557 ✭✭✭Walter Bishop


    Trump is about as funny as a burning orphanage. This spiteful con artist is helping debase political discourse with his pathetic Twitter rants. A four year old in the playground would be more articulate than what this shyster comes out with.

    Yep. There is video on YouTube of him calling into a tv station live and all while that station is showing clips of the devastation in New York, trump is talking about himself or something he owns.

    What are you all going to do when trump is re-elected next year, complain endlessly for another 4 years?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Stop moaning ffs

    Hell no doubt have the internet and access to it shut down by that point and only missives from his propaganda agency Fox will have control of it.

    He won't get elected.

    :D:D:D:D:D Oh course you are right, and the sun wont rise tomorrow either.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,402 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    :D:D:D:D:D Oh course you are right, and the sun wont rise tomorrow either.

    Is this the maximum quality of a trump supporter's post?

    Why don't you debate the fact that Trump carried out multiple acts which could legally construed as obstruction of justice and but for a legal opinion he would tried and convicted, according to over 1000 state and line prosecutors, that he carried out a felony in instructing his then personal attorney to pay hush money to a porn star to prevent that story informing the american public as to what kind of man he is, or that his recent race baiting led to thousands chanting racist words towards 4 duly elected congresswomen?

    No. We get pi$$ poor attempts at a wind up.

    If you want to get people to change their mind, go ahead and debate the issues in good faith.

    If you're on here to amuse yourself with one line jibes, then you'll only amuse yourself.

    Happy to discuss anything you choose, as long as we can also discuss the the various laws and racist remarks Hilary has made previously otherwise just pointless, arguing or discussing anything apparently is seen as aggressive and confrontational so very limited in how I can reply. But I'll simply leave much easier than arguing or discussing rational points with people who only see one side.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,268 ✭✭✭Cody montana

    I think he's isolated too many people and gone too far right.
    He needs the moderates and independents to wins.
    He won't get them.

    Saying that, the democrats need to grow a spine and not go too far left.

    The economy will also take a downturn next year, he's got nothing else.

    Ah but Hillary....

    Clap

    We're beyond that level of response by now, best up your game
