Davkaus Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's like the opposite of death by a thousand cuts. Every **** day he says or does something that'd be a scandal if anyone else did it...But, it's just Trump. He's like Boris turned up to 11.

Everything the man says in under scrutiny because he is the **** president of the United States. Here's a (very long) article of everything he has been involved with. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/donald-trump-scandals/474726/ And that's without the mental things he has said. Look at today with his camp dismissing lies as 'alternative facts' and threatening the media if they called his press secretary a liar (which he was) It. Is. Not Normal. It. Is. Not. 'just a sign of the times'. (what the hell does that even mean?' Bloody hell Stefan they are all as bent as 9 bob notes. Is there anything he has said that you like or agree with? Sign of the times= trump, Brexit, far right gaining power in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attitudes like yours are what cause demagogic figures like Trump to rise. "They're all as bad as each other so may as well vote for someone promising the Earth" It's protectionism, isolationism and nationalism all rolled into one and it's disgusting. As for, has he said things I agree with? Not really. He stands for exact opposite of what I do on pretty much every issue. From being only hostile to immigrants, openly misogynistic, a pathological liar, a massive narcissist and openly hostile to the press, he is a real danger to western democracy. He is NOT the same as everyone else. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 The media needs to stop giving Conway a platform. The campaign is over and Spicer is the spokesman, not sure why her opinions matter anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched the video a couple of times and it's definitely a joke to me. Some might say a bit of a sick joke but in all honesty I wouldn't be getting too irate about it. Sarcasm might be more or less obvious to a native English speaker, but if you don't understand English to begin with, the hard translation reads as intent. As POTUS, Trump needs to be serious and measured, but of course, he's neither. The world is one misconstrued tweet away from open warfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 How do you even joke about invading a country as POTUS? Dude thinks he's at the country club or something, like he doesn't have the nuclear codes at his fingertips now. It's quite astonishing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how many checks you get with this one. There's no hyperbole or conspiracy theory involved in plain facts There are many labels. Fascism is one. The problem I have with them is that we end up discussing whether Trump fits the exact definition of an ideology rather than focusing on what what's actually happening. No doubt that he's presiding over a closing society though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The USA was not a democracy before the election, and was/is in fact much closer to a pluto/autocratic fascist country. Where fascism is as originally defined not the horror of the Nazi et al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true how he turns the left's ammo right against them. Fake news used to refer to the demonstrably fake news circulated among Trump supporters on Facebook. Now it literally just means "news Donald Trump disagrees with". You have to hand it to the right, they know how to play the game and get shit done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 For me, Brexit and Trump have proved that there are an awful lot of people who seemed to have the opinion of "I've got nothing to lose so f**k it, I'll go for the mad choice". I think given the fullness of time those people will learn that they do actually have plenty to lose, and they'll lose it. Just my take on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
