You're talking about Trump supporters right? Good description of them alright.

Disgusting posts. A mans dear brother has died.

He was playing golf while his "dear" brother lay dying. Doesn't look too upset here does he? Maybe if he had shown some empathy towards the thousands of dead Americans, people might have some empathy for him now. But nobody gives a shiit apart from his dumb brainwashed base.

We're supposed to empathise with someone who just shrugs as a quarter of a million Americans are set to die from Covid. Couldn't make it up.

It constantly amazes me that people defend this guy. Comparing people to christian brothers etc. Why not apply those same standards to Trump? What about all the genuinely scummy things he has said and done? The so called christian's who row in behind him never cease to amaze and disgust me with their hypocrisy.

He also looks about 100 years old in that photo. Probably because his make up and fake tan has dripped off his face and onto his shirt. What a mess.

Some of them, certainly.

Many of his opponents are deeply disturbed though.

There was incredible sanctimony and righteousness in the 90s in America from Evangelicals.

That has been superceded by a religious type of sanctimony and righteousness in much of the left or self declared progressives.

I don't like absolutist, religious thinking, whether it is from Evangelical types or the modern left.

relax carry on

As it gets closer to the election, the rhetoric and blind defense of the "leader" coming from Trumpists will only increase. There's no point trying to show them the awfulness of Trump as they already know and don't care or the have blinded themselves to it. The accelerated decline of the US which impacts us all, is fascinating and troubling to watch. Another 4 years of Trump would be madness but chaos is always an element of the decline of empires.

You wouldn't see Trump supporters salivating at the death of one of Biden's family members. It really shows the difference between the sides. Its not classy at all.

It is Trump himself who is disrespectful to grieving families ... You should take issue with that ....

They've the same death rate as us, yet Leo and Harris are portrayed as national heroes for their handling of the crisis. Couldn't make it up.

It's apathy based on previous form not salivation, big difference

It wasn't a press conference. They were signing nomination papers so basically amounted to a photo op. You get very excitable...

I doubt think Biden knew it was a "photo op", or what he was signing tbh.

Amazing how Trump lives rent free in the minds of so many Irish.

It's a thread about Trump, what do you expect?

No they don't.... The US is at 521 deaths per million and Ireland is 359. Are numbers are pretty much at a standstill too. Also not a fan of Varadkar.

The stain on his shirt...he looks a total mess tbh

I am no fan of him at all btw but better things to go after him than this.

More lies. When you're corrected on this, I expect you'll slink off or just ignore the responses and post some equally incorrect rubbish. The usual.

Who exactly is salivating at anyone's death here? No one is celebrating his brothers death, but it's also hard to feel sorry for such a callous man like Trump. Who himself has no problem mocking the dead or their families. This is the man you guys are on here defending.

The difference between the sides comment is a joke.

I wouldn't expect any less from his pathetic, virtue signalling death cult followers. If there is one thing they truly hate, it is people treating him hwo he treats others.

Honestly though, I don't really care. Do u?

That statement still has me smiling considering it's coming from the losers circle. You've literally looked in the mirror and decided that's how winners feel, hilarious.
4yrs playing the victim has certainly taken its toll on people.

As for the other poster above who thinks it's cool to be nasty as orange man was once beggers believe. If you can't beat them join them:rolleyes:

LOL That's certainly triggered you hasn't it? Your response has got very little to do with what i said yet I got you typing mad. Brilliant. Too easy

What part of the States are you in/from btw?

Interesting observation, hopefully both sides of the debate will see the funny side. "Kamala" in Finnish means horrible, terrible, awful, ghastly, dreadful, abysmal, shocking, terrific, appalling, chronic, grim, atrocious, infernal, ghastly

Hilarious. My sides nearly split.

Did Leo advocate injecting bleach as a remedy?

Any amount of deaths will look disproportionate in small country like Ireland so pull the other one.
