Trump

[PumaG]

Dont mean to be rude, but if you and other blinkered people understood my points I'd be offended.

Define blinkered...is it folks that just disagree with you, those unaware of certain facts that only almighty knowledgeable you knows; us great ignorant horde that appear to disgust you ?

Really need to ease that pole out your fucking arse a bit mate.

WTF?
Ive stated twice now that I've found Pogo's posts informative (to mention one) . He has constantly put me right in this thread regards to US politics without me resorting to your childish attitude, towards him. So would you like to explain that remark?

I defined blinkered using Merman's post as an example. Your the first poster here to tell another what to do, yet cant mange to keep up.

Both you and phattslag have got yourselves upset because I haven't towed the liberal line here basically.

What's remarkable is that this thread is as good as non-existant, yet you and others have used it to feel good about yourselves by attacking Trump (or me).
I asked before how many others here have actually written to their MPs regarding similar concerns in the past, it appears noone. 46% of Mexicans had experienced racism at work before Trump ran, but nothing. Only 200 Canadians wrote to the foreign affairs office regarding the Rwandan genocide, well over 2 million actively opposing Trump on social media because they fear another genocide. Then you've tried to make this about you

FYI I have nothing against 'the LGBT community' and yes the pic of Omar's old man came out rather large (I just copied the link) I'll happily apologise if its those two things that have upset you, otherwise how about just avoiding the thread? or preferably any other that I post in given your last crass attempt at put down.

The shooter's father has said that 'god should punish gays' not his son.

His son didn't say it, or he meant that his son shouldn't punish gays because that's God's job?

Speaking on Facebook, Seddique Mateen said: “I don’t know what caused him to shoot last night.

“I am deeply saddened and announce this to the people of America.

“God himself will punish those involved in homosexuality – this, is not for the servants’ of God.”

So you think Trump receiving an endorsement from the NRA, is the same as Merman above claiming they are funding him? Says it all really.

No- I'm saying that I literally cannot follow any coherent thread to any of your posts in this discussion. The fact that you've interpreted this as my thinking something other than that is indicative of exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm mostly replying to others though, yes I'ts been pointed out I don't articulate myself well, but some people it seems either made the effort or simply closed the door. Also I dont mind people being rude as I do often react harshly if I feel someone is bullshitting, but it isnt personal. Ive not even formed half an opinion about any poster here.
All you've done is make me feel self conscious that Ive posted too much, yet only Pogo, Gumboot and Gravy seem to have bothered looking for facts to shut me up.

Rather than 'interpreting' each other's personalities I'm more interested in someone telling me why it was a good idea to let Al-qaeda off the hook, in the context of Trump, his support, and Europe turning more to the right due to the after effects of America's involvement in Iraq and Syria and leaving them in a shit state. But you wont, you want me to post another funny pic of trump's hair, and shout things that gives us all hope he'll be shut down. Ive said it before, Ill be glad when its all over so we can go back to Utopia (tongue in cheek) and Im looking forward to the Hillary thread, Im in agreement with her on at least 2 issues.
It's all very well telling me im going round in circles, but its all being covered up or brushed under the carpet. Many voters really are stupid, which is out of our control, so why am I bothering?

The theme here is how much worse Trump could do, above and beyond the awfulness of your average politician.

Not much. If elected it will still be business as usual for lifelong bureaucrats who make up the slow grinding gears of government.

[funkstar]

Quite surprised he couldn't find something more crass to say, actually. Maybe he's still working on it.

Oh, look: he did find something more crass to say. I can't remember which analysis it was (The Andrew Sullivan piece? Or even somewhere in this thread?) that described a nightmare scenario with an islamist terrorist attack leading to such increased support for Trump that he beats Clinton. But, come on: the man is openly congratulating himself over this.

So, yeah. That happened.

I don't wish to be rude, but I honestly can't say I've understood the point behind a single one of PumaG's contributions to this thread. I mean, Pogo's posts in the Politics thread are almost entirely composed of "things I don't agree with" (to put it politely) but at least I understand what he's trying to say. Am I alone on this?

You're not alone...

Perhaps it's performance art.

He's imitating the incomprehensible self-contradictory tangential mumblings of Trump as a form of undercover satire?

[zip accident]

That is insanity.

The rest of it may or may not be garbage, but that little quote is definitively not sensible.

Watch out now, you may be attacked!

Geez, take a fucking pill mate ffs.

I'd also like to see where I make myself feel good by attacking Trump and why are you prattling on about the LGBT ? You seem to have missed the entire point of the post...your perceived little bit of snobbery with this statement...."if you and other blinkered people understood my points I'd be offended."
Honestly, you do still need to take the pole out your backend by spewing that type of shit.

Maybe if I get active and 'write to my MP' things will change

That may well be so, but what about the productive businesspeople who make their money through fraud and corruption? Or those who wish to see a president sympathetic to their own prejudices and xenophobia for vindication of their own opinions through the popular vote? Those who are angry and looking for any justification to lash out violently?

Things would definitely be looking good under Trump for some of people.

[Darkflame]

While its fairly certain Trump will be disappointing to find his power not absolute if he was president, that doesn't take away from the fact they do have a lot of power.
Starting wars, for example. (as long as you dont call it a war).

Business as usual. Trump would be an excuse for their behaviour, and if not Trump then they would find another.

Trump will have the power to veto laws intended to curb his kind of fraud, and the platform from which to actively encourage (as he does currently) violent behaviour on a regular and on-going basis.

Oh, and also to appoint a sympathetic judge to the supreme court. Thanks, Republicans!
