    He didn't murder them.

    He is a working class young fellow who helped defend a local business from Looters.

    He was attacked by a mob, ran, allowed them beat him, when they pointed a gun he defended himself and had to shoot .

    2 ended up dead.

    He did murder them. Yes, he was being chased, but the context of why he was being chased will remain a mystery. What we do know is he was happily flexing around with his rifle, threatening to take down the protesters and went towards them.

    We still don't know positively if he crossed state lines with the rifle, or if he got the rifle in Wisconsin. Either way, he was illegally armed.

    Turns out the 2 that died, one was a multiple child rapiat and the other was a domestic abuser.

    Rittenhouse is a working class hero.

    This implies he knew what they were, and their past crimes. I've no problem with some pedo getting killed, but let's not toss out the presumption that Kyle knew this and they deserved their death.

    What could you call a 28 year old with a 60 year old man then?

    Bizarre, but not an affair. How is it an affair? They were both single, non-committed adults.

    Watching a C4 programme about Trump. But job


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,554 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Well i would call your obvious disgust at their age difference to be very prudish.
    It's not just the age gap, it's the particular 60 year old man she chose, just happened to be the most powerful man in her field at the time. Two promotions later it was over.

    A relationship that was publicly known about is most definitely not an "affair"....

    A bit like Melania with Trump? There's a 34 year difference there. Does this relationship disgust you also?

    Trump had the KKK designated as a terrorist group. Again, why is he being asked to denounce white supremacists for the 1000th time? It's a red herring.

    A few clips of Trump denouncing white supremacists again and again.

    The exact same moderator from four years ago using the same failed formula which backfired in 2016

    No matter how many times he has denounced WS over the years he will still be dragged by the hopeless left, asking the sky "why can't he be specific, he's on the side of the white supremacists!" It's pathetic. Even though the fragile Biden doesn't need to answer whether he’ll pack the court, or if he endorses Black Lives Matters yet Trump is pressured to condemn white supremacists?? Then Biden says Antifa is an idea, not an organization, and isn't questioned about that either? Say it all!!!!

    Lol, it’s the moderators fault. Why does Trump get to make the same claim over and over again but yet when this is thrown at him it’s too damn far!!1!

    Cutting through the crybaby ranting and going your last point about Biden saying Antifa is an ideology rather than a group, he’s quoting the Director of the FBI, who Trump appointed.

    Don’t believe me? Here he is for your visual and aural pleasure

    Majority of domestic terrorism is by white supremacists:

    Antifa is more of an ideology than organisation

    Jesus, thought a smart fellow like yourself would have done some research.

    Now, run along back into your hiding place until you find another doctored video to post. Rinse, repeat. Too predictable. Sad!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,453 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    I don't see how you can have an ideology without a group of people who identity with said ideology.

    It's like saying 'Antifa are just an idea in your mind. It doesn't really exist in reality'. :rolleyes:

    A fair few clips there of Trump denouncing these kinds of groups.

    But how do we explain his 'and stand by' comments?

    "Stand by" means hold and wait for further instuction. Why is he telling such a group to await further instruction?

    That’s what the FBI Director, who Trump appointed, said.

    Biden was quoting him. He made that very clear at the start of his sentence.

    It'd be pretty low on the list of things that disgust me about Trump.
    You do realise that it's ok not to like Trump and some democrats?

    most on here dont get it.


    they think if you call biden boring, you must therefore be a trump supporter.


    The fact you may think both parties are war mongers with dismal candidates is lost on some

    Ah theres miles of difference between calling him "boring" and what a lot of one liners here actually suggest about Biden.

    Nice turn out in Minnesota tonight.

    Watched most of the debate last night. Apart from the usual points that are being talked about I thought Trump really lost it when Biden brought up Putin and said something like he was Putin's puppet. Would love to see his reaction to that again

    Biden was so poor though, anybody with half a brain could have torn trump to shreds on the things he was coming out with. Would love to see AOC up there

    you are contradicting yourself when you say there is no demand for free health care.


    did you not only on this thread on this page declare 100 million yanks with underlying conditions.


    Are you trying to tell me those 100 million would rather pay than get it for free ?

    If you look at how they vote, yes. Bernie has run for President twice on a “Medicare for all” platform and failed twice.

    It’s a bizarre phenomenon in the US, but people rarely vote for the collective good.

    I reckon he just said the wrong thing with his mouth going faster than his brain as usual. It's not a master plan

    An idiotic comment but one he won't row back on.

    "stand down and er stand er by".

    Its typical of his speak first, think later style

    Its not bizarre at all that the ultimate capitalist economy in the world doesn't vote for socialist ideas.

    Capitalism and the individual is what the country is built upon

    I would say it is tbh, Harris has shown herself to be highly capable throughout her career. So I would say it's more likely that she reached the positions she reached via hard work.

    So sleeping with her boss, 32 years her senior, is a normal thing for an ambitious young woman?

    Some people have relationships with people older them. It's not a new phenomenon and she made no secret of the relationship. So I'm inclined to say it's more likely that it was a genuine relationship. Also the very fact she progressed so far beyond him in her career indicates that it's far more likely she progressed in her career as she did as a result of hard work.

    Also, frankly it's coming across as a tad sexist the angle you're pursuing. You've brought it up more than once in the past. You've attempted to represent it as an "affair" when it wasn't. The reality is most people view her as a highly accomplished politician and who she was in a relationship with back in the nineties is irrelevant. You haven't established a pattern, you've shown a single public relationship.

    Do you tell all women how they should and shouldn’t behave?
    Or who they should date?

    Seeing as you’re so concerned about an affair that never happened, what do you think about Trump cheating on all 3 wives?
    Actual affairs.

    Yea but they would have been the greatest affairs ever, there's a big difference!

    Cos he's a "proud man"

    Never admitted a mistake before, can't see him starting now

    He doesn't even have to admit a mistake, he could just clearly denounce white supremacists.
