Ooft! Trump, A Step Too Far

[bobbs202]

Watching the news ( didn't see the earlier bulletin as I was out) for his so called supporters chanting "Get her Out" about the Somalian Congress lady
I always said he's not afraid to say it as it is but this is wrong,so wrong

[anotheoldgit]

The same old, the 'Nasty Left' are past masters at spewing their vitriol at the right, and regularly do, at least this women (I call her that because she isn't worthy of being called a lady) didn't have yoghurt thrown at her,

Just because she happens to be non white doesn't grant her the freedom of being treated any different from others, calling the elected President a racist and a fascist is totally uncalled for.

I agree if she is not happy, there is the door.

Interesting link Ludwig - what a sorry state of affairs this all is.

What does he expect? He marches them to the top of the hill and abandons them.
You whip up your supporters and they respond in kind. It’s entirely his doing.

Actually, if you aren't happy with the country you're living in, you can stay there and try to change it. All of this nonsense about "there is the door" is pretty pathetic, really -- whether or not it's also racist.

'pathetic'

Usual liberal left name calling. Just cant resist it can you?

[youngmafbog]

"Not sure it's the way forward for a democratic country ymg?"

I'm not too sure what you mean? If the majority like him he will win, if the majority dont then he wont. Democracy in action surely?

And for the pedantic, majority as defined by the methd the US have determined is best to elect their President.

YMB, the 'college' system is far from perfect and could be reasonably argued to be somewhat undemocratic:

[jim360]

I think it *is* pathetic to spout off the guff about "if you don't like it you can always leave", and to support or encourage "Send them back!" comments about elected representatives of your country.

As for "liberal left name calling" -- what hypocrisy! "Lying' Ted" "Pocahontas", "Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse" "Crooked Hillary" are just four examples from Trump's repertoire, while on this site TTT comes out with "Vichy British Quislings", etc etc.

Jim, things are only pathetic if you disagree with them. I could mention things I think are pathetic - but you wouldn't agree with me.

//Interesting link Ludwig - what a sorry state of affairs this all is. //

Yes, I thought I'd try and introduce some factual info into the thread, on the off chance anyone's interested in it.

The usual pomposity from the likes of Naomi, ill-thought out ranting from Spicerack and the gang he’d like to join, but vetuste seems to be having a bad day as he’s abandoned his usual intellectual position and resorted to unsubstantiated slurs.

That someone is anti-Israeli right-wing doesn’t make them ‘anti-Jew’ (and What The Funicular is ‘anti-oil’?).

Do keep it logical, boys and girls.

Bainbrig, //The usual pomposity from the likes of Naomi//

Who or what are the likes of me?

[youngmafbog]

Anyone who is not left wing like BB I suspect Naomi. So I'm probebly in there with you.

[Zacs-Master]

And me, let's start a clique!

[youngmafbog]

What system is 100% ZM?

Seems the collge system was fine until it yielded the 'wrong' answer.

[naomi24]

Haaa! He's easily confused.

[bainbrig]

Pomposity transcends politics, as indeed does republicanism (see other thread).

[Zacs-Master]

YMB it's a bit of a strange system where the 'winner' gets all of One State's electoral votes whether they win by one vote or a million votes.

It often produces results counter to the majority i.e. a ' winner takes all' result within most states.

[naomi24]

Which of the other many thousands of threads do you want us to see, Bainbrig?

[Spicerack]

Anyone who believes anything they read on 'fact' checker sites is an idiot.
