Even Trump’s Supreme Court pick is getting pissed off with his nonsense.

The ‘other’ term for a racist.

What’s ol Jeff’s middle name lads?

Talk of China being an aggressor with regards to world peace is pure bollix…and is an act of inferiority out of the US.

Russia have shown serious resolve with regards to Nato bases surrounding them and antagosing the fuck out of them since the late 90’s.

Not to mention the sly Turks shooting down one of their planes, which was an act of war in my opinion.

In fairness to Putin he is sitting at the table with Assad, Turkey and Iran and they’re trying to iron out peace in Syria…what was the West’s alternative?

Trump getting into the white house is actually going to save lives…Obamas campaign in Pakistan which was not reported in the mainstream media was an absolute disgrace…drones don’t discriminate between TTP and civilians…He possibly didnt have a say but he dropped more bombs then any other previous president.and that is on him whether he likes it or not…

Then you have that Hawk Hilary, if she got in we’d be under serious threat of a world war played out over Europe vs Putin.

I prefer the alternative which is the likes of CNN & the Irish Independent seething at Trump.

The President tweeting about his daughters fashion line being dropped by Nordstrom during his national security briefing.

Maybe he’s going to nuke the shit out of Nordstrom.

You’re a fan of Vlad I take it.

myboyblue · February 9, 2017, 10:56am

Doesn’t he have a head of social media who tweets for him?

Fagan_ODowd · February 9, 2017, 10:58am

Sounds like alternative facts to me, pal

“Fuck the law, fuck international law” seems to be the message…

Sidney:

Well, according to him, the media, US intelligence services and John McCain are all “like something out of Nazi Germany.”

Trump requires an “evil” bogey figure to drum up support for him, because his popularity is mobilised in the main by hatred.

Before he entered politics, it was the blacks.
Then it was Obama.
When he ran for president, first it was the Mexicans.
Then it was the Muslims.
Then it was the entirely straw man concept of “political correctness”.
Then it was “Wall Street” (even though he’s now boasting of his ties to them and how he’s great for them).
Then it was thinly veiled references to the Jews.
Then it was the “Republican establishment”.
Then it was the media.
Then it was “the hoax of global warming”.
Then it was the Chinese. Then it was Gonzalo Curiel.
Then it was the Khans.
Then it was Alicia Machado.
Then it was the “rigged electoral system” (which curiously became entirely unrigged after he won the electoral college with 2.86m less votes than his opponent).
Then it was Hillary Clinton.
Then it was Bill Clinton.
Then it was Saturday Night Live.
Then it was Obama again.
Then it was his own intelligence services.
Then it was John Lewis.
Now, running out of bogey figures to vilify, it’s the media again.

Invoking hatred against an “other” has been the one common theme of not just his political career, but of his life.

The classic fascist tactic, above all.

Since that post the “bogey figures” have been:

“Voter fraud” (again)
Muslims (again)
Mexicans (again)
Iran
Aussie PM Malcolm Turnbull
Acting Attorney General Sally Yates
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The EU for stopping him building a wall in Doonbeg
Any negative polls, which are all “fake news”
“So called” Judge Robart and US law
Department store Nordstrom

I’m sure I’ve missed quite a few there.

A “lone wolf” attack is being put into action as we speak

Apparently this is a real graphic from Fox news reacting to some US journalist comparing Bannon to the ISIS leader.

Trump has been destroyed - The Seattle Justice in question replied to him saying - We’ve seen you in court twice and won.

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2017, 12:06pm

Up yer bollix Trump

And your AG

Who sounds just like Forrest Gump.

Fagan_ODowd · February 10, 2017, 1:28pm

I might add that the sight of Obama cavorting with his manpal Richard Branson on a tropical island during the week sickened me. Another fucking Tony Blair hobnobbing with the rich and famous.
