    The President of America is race baiting.

    No witness has come forward to say he had a knife but we should be expected to believe the police union :pac:

    USA today fact check reveals there was a knife, somebody shouted drop the knife and there was something in his hand.

    the balance of probability here absolutely suggests its more possible there was a knife than not.

    Biden is tearing Trump apart at the moment.

    I was listening, excellent speech.

    They all handled it as best they could same as the US and Trump that why I'm not classifying it as a terrible job.

    Handling it "the best they could" isn't acceptable when you're playing with people's lives. Stupidity at the top of government in the likes of the US and UK has cost literally thousands of lives. I don't see any situation where that's acceptable.

    I thought both pictures were CNN ones until I saw the text.

    That is what he looks like.

    the one in the tweet you quoted is definitely modified, no denying the guy is wearing tan but come on , I posted 2 pics from the same evening on the same podium and theres a noticeable difference.

    gonna be a crazy 2 months for sure. i'd go so far as to say this is the most important US election of all time. vote for trump and hasten the downfall of the country, or vote for biden to give at least a chance to save it. america is in deep deep ****. a barely functioning government, more division than has ever been seen to the point of talk of civil war, and an economic bomb just waiting to go off and send them back to the stone age. china and russia absolutely licking their lips and cheering trump on.

    impossible to call right now. it looked like corona was going to kill trump but the deaths and cases are falling and he might well rush through a vaccine approval just in time for november on top of his law and order schtick which although ridiculous, seems to be helping his polls as long as riots continue in american cities.

    as for biden - he is a weak candidate. he's just too old and it shows. he looks like he's barely struggling to read his teleprompter. i don't think trump is very far behind him either in terms of faculties tbh, but trump is still sharp enough to throw out insults in the debates that his rabid base will salivate over. there should be an upper age limit on the presidency.

    it really is incredible how many scandals trump has managed to brush off. literally dozens, any of which would force any other person to resign. he would have to kill someone on live tv to lose his base, and tbh that might not even do it.

    Best speech of the campaign. Expect some more poison on Twitter later from tango man.

    its not as common as people make it sound to be.

    While I agree that it isn't something that happens every day, i would be wary of PragerU as a source. They aren't a university; they're a crowd that make partisan videos and I can't see from the picture where their numbers came from.

    It's to emphasise his traditional masculinity.

    I'm only aware of a couple of leftists on boards and they don't even post in the Trump threads.

    Boards' leftists are the last ones to see themselves as leftists and so it doesn't surprise me that you say that. If you're overly left-leaning, liberal, socialistic political, particularly to an absurd degree, then you'll be seen, and described, as a leftist, deal with it. Always amazes me how the leftists on Boards will moan about being referred to as such, insisting it's not accurate but yet then have seemingly no problem collectively calling users far right Nazis because they don't happen to share some radical left viewpoint that they've expressed.

    If you can convince yourself that Trump was the man to vote for in 2016 to change America, and yet America is now in a worse position but that is everyone ele fault that ok.

    Look, just because liberals in the States have lost their minds and gone nuts in response to being fed false narratives by the mainstream media, doesn't mean that Trump is to blame. These people are just off their heads and can't stand that Trump is president. They have been like that since day one. They don't want people getting along. They want to convince the black community that they are oppressed. Hence Biden's "They're gonna put y'all back in chains". The democrats have been doing that for decades.
    Getting rid of Obama was supposed to make everything better, but Trump ended up making it worse. That is a tough reality to accept, but I guess the only thing to do is to double down.

    When Trump gave a speech from the Rose Garden after Floyd's death CNN spliced it with footage of protesting so he couldn't be heard and regularly twisted what he said and did to make him look bad. So don't give me that crap about he has made it worse, he hasn't, as the mainstream never wanted him to do and say the right thing to bloody begin with and neither did you folk. No matter what he did he'd be seen as being wrong.
    It will definitely work this time. If only those leftists would simply get out of the way and let the right have the floor. If only the right controlled the media, the House, the Senate and the WH. If only minorities would just know their place, people would just accept things they way they were instead of looking for equality and rights and freedoms and freedom of speech.

    You're making that crap up. The current administration has nothing but respect for the black community and you can suggest they want to put minorities in their place as much as you like but it won't make it true. It's what you lot do so you'll continue to do it no doubt.
    According to Trump the Democrats are do nothing socialists yet somehow they seem, in your head anyway, to be in control of everything. Secrtetly of course and not even Trump has been able to do anything about it.

    The mainstream media has a liberal agenda and they use it to push their propaganda down people's throats. They pushed the false narrative that caused and maintained the riots. They are to blame. Obama would rolled over but that doesn't make it right to do so. This evil needs to be stopped before it gets worse.
    You know what the US needs after 40+ years of constant right wind politics to make everything better? Thats right, a lurch further to the right. That is bound to sort it all out!

    Ha. There is nobody trying to push things to the right as you suggest. The US Administration is just trying to silence the radical left's lies so that normality can be restored and they can carry on running the country. Not everyone is buying what your shoveling you know, thankfully.

    Those are pictures of broadcasts that seem to be from different people. You would need a comparison taken from the same device to be sure. It's also quite possible that the cameras have different filters. If they can photoshop his face in real-time, I'd be quite impressed.

    is it not on video?

    How can Trump be expected to successful run the country and resolve the real issues when his administration is not able to connect with people.

    https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1300417591949881348

    It's either complete ineptitude, or he simply doesn't want to meet them.
    I'm expect its the latter. If Trump wanted to meet but the family told him no, Trump could easily spin it as time constraints not facilitating a meeting or something.

    So is Donald Trump yet you're here every day defending him!

    As I said, there are no eye witness reports of a knife, why haven't the police shown pictures of the knife? No body cam footage or CCTV? But the police union say there was one and you automatically believe them, not like they would be biased or anything right? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,366 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    Also why the presumption that the slightly worse picture is the photoshopped one?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    Boards' leftists yadda yadda

    Why did Trump retweet some black guy pushing a white girl without any context then? That was clear race-baiting. Nevermind Trump fuelling birther conspiracies and excluding blacks from his properties.

    No amount of testimonies from the latest iteration of "blacks for trump" changes that.

    white of the stone is the same, grey of the podium is the same, gold on the seal is the same, angles are similar, skin tone on the hands is the same. I doubt its a filter or a camera colour setting.

    He looks orange and plastered in makeup in both pictures, and that's the reality.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,042 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    Jake feckin' Tapper broke into Trumps helicopter when he was sleeping and smeared his collar with fake tan and make up too. The bastard!

    His skin being orange is the only real orange in the image so a camera setting just affecting that is normal. Particularly with different cameras and lenses. It's not some big conspiracy about his toxic tanning.

    So his constantly moving face is being bronzed in a real time video feed? If it's something like that, it should be easy to spot by whoever came up with this theory.

    Trump will eat Biden for breakfast in the debates (assuming Biden agrees to one):

    He's already agreed to the debates. Embarrassing that Trumpers continuously have to resort to lies and false pretences. Just like the Dear Leader I suppose.

    Please show where Trump has been convicted of either sex abuse or domestic abuse. Take your time.
