-TSS- Posted August 14, 2017 Report Posted August 14, 2017 I'm sure that many of those antifas are secretly happy that Trump is the President because now they have for four years a perfect excuse to carry out their favourite-hobby which is to beat the shit out of people they don't like and damage their property. Under Hillary as President they would have had a harder time to justify their love for violence. 1 Quote

betsy Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Posted August 15, 2017 Under Trump, North Korea backs down. One of the news channels interviewed a North Korean who defected to South Korea. The defector agrees with the tone of Trump. She said, it's the kind of language that Kim understands. Quote

I don't watch him much, but it plays on the lunch room TV at work often enough, and yes Colbert does seem obsessed and has lost the comedy. It's kind of painful to watch. Quote
Wilber Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 The humour is still there but has become darker. It strikes me as more outrage than an obsession. Outraged that a man like Trump could be president. 1 Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC

Omni Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 It seems there is no bar too low for Trump when he wants to try and pivot away from the problems he creates for himself, and/or to carry on with his bigotry. http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/trump-dangerous-lie-john-pershing-article-1.3420689 "The average person probably has no idea what Trump is talking about. But this is a reference to a historical myth that he repeated constantly on the campaign trail in spite of valiant efforts by historians and journalists to correct him. He is referring to efforts by Gen. John Pershing, later commander of U.S. forces in France during World War I, to suppress a Muslim revolt in the Philippines in the early years of the 20th century, at a time when that country was an American colony. This is the story as Trump told it last year: “General Pershing was a rough guy, He caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage . . . and he took the 50 terrorists and he took 50 men and dipped 50 bullets in pig’s blood. You heard about that? He took 50 bullets and dipped them in pig’s blood. And he has his men load up their rifles and he lined up the 50 people and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said, you go back to your people and you tell them what happened. And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem.” Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Posted August 17, 2017 Donald Trump did not create the underlying political and social conflicts in the United States, the very same conditions and violent clashes that hounded the Obama administration. Why would anybody expect an "incompetent" Trump to do any better than the "incompetent" Obama ? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
