There is a world of difference between say that Corbyn is a supporter of terrorism when there is so much evidence to support that statement, and saying 'Trump is Hitler' which is a contemptible statement to make. And when you do make such statements you actually turn the vileness of Hitler into something devalued and meaningless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And when you do make such statements you actually turn the vileness of Hitler into something devalued and meaningless. There is no evidence to say he is a supporter. There is evidence he has met with accepted, at the time, as terrorist leaders and activists but so did Mo Mowlam and are you going to accuse her as well? And no doubt others have as well but don't really have the bottle to admit it. How else do you broker peace with terrorists if you don't meet and talk to them. And Trump may not be Hitler, but he is is someone who believes he is superior to people because of colour and place of birth and lack of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Meanwhile, back to Ukraine scandal. Remember the political appointee Ambassador Sondland? (US Ambassador to the EU, of which Ukraine is not a member) The one who testified (behind closed doors) that nothing was wrong with the calls? Um, well he just changed his testimony - apparently holding testimony behind closed doors prevents witnesses from colluding to create a common story. So he's been caught in a lie and has had to "correct the record" as they say. So despite the administration refusing to co-operate with the investigation, the truth is slowly coming out... Edited November 5, 2019 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted November 5, 2019 So the Republican reaction to the release of the testimony transcripts and Sondland's reversal is ..... Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says he won't read any of the transcripts, and dismissed Sondland's reversal. "I've written the whole process off ... I think this is a bunch of B.S." Where I think this is going is : the Democrat majority House will Impeach the President over the use of taxpayer money to the Presidents personal benefit. the Republican majority Senate will refuse to convict him, as the acknowledged transaction was "not an impeachable offense" The 2020 election will be fought over corruption and election integrity, the Democrats will paint the Republicans as being O.K with foreign and domestic interference in elections, and the whole system - registration and de-registration, voter identification, campaign financial disclosures, voting times, days, tallies and vote verification - needs to be updated and practices like gerrymandering outlawed. The Republicans will paint the Democrats as being communists and hypocrites and say they do exactly the same thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So that's a mix of second,-hand allegations that wouldn't stand up in a court-room and some hard-hitting, accurate descriptions of some of America's inner cities. Like I said Trump is not a politician out to spread a few meaningless platitudes. He is a disruptor who calls out wrong when he sees it And right now US inner cities have a massive problem with drug culture, illegal aliens and breakdown of law and order. So I applaud Trump for calling out those failing, rat-infested, Democrat cities such as Baltimore, Portland and Los Angeles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 5, 2019 And KG, why did you ignore the list of references i gave you pointing out evidence that Corbyn is an anti-Semitic supporter of terrorism? Because I couldn't read it! And funny that you broadcast a video with a Labour MP blaming Zionism, not Israel, not Jews, but Zionists. People who believe that the Jews should assimilate with the rest of society but have their own state or homeland. Which in Israel's case means still stealing land that doesn't belong to them. And before you comment, I am part Jewish. So don't get confused or jump on the bandwagon about anti-semitism. It is wearing thin. I haven't heard anything that makes Corbyn a Jew hater. And what about Trump's use of slang when referring to Jewish accountants, bookeepers and lawyers. And you really believe that the quotes that Trump made, yes quotes, not just opinion, do not matter.

So I applaud Trump for calling out those failing, rat-infested, Democrat cities such as Baltimore, Portland and Los Angeles. Get your head out of the sand man - here's a list of the 25 most dangerous cities; most are in Republican led states. Only Baltimore is in that top 25 - # 1 most dangerous is St Louis in deep red Missouri. As usual a "Trump truth" is a pack of Republican lies. What makes a city dangerous is treating residents like a piece of trash and lax gun control laws. Immigrants and aliens have nothing to do with it... that's just a xenophobic excuse for why your'e failing. Most high immigration cities are safe and do well economically. https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/travel/experience/america/2018/10/17/25-most-dangerous-cities-america/1669467002/ St Louis (R) Detroit (D) was (R) until Jan 2019 Baltimore (D) Memphis (R) Kansas City (R) Little Rock (R) Milwaukee (D) was (R) until Jan 2019 Rockford (D) was (R) until Jan 2019 Cleveland (R) Stockton (D) Albuquerque (R) Springfield (D) was (R) until Jan 2019 Indianapolis (R) Oakland (D) San Bernardino (D) Anchorage (R) Nashville (R) Lansing (D) was (R) until Jan 2019 New Orleans (R) Minneapolis (D) Chicago (D) was (R) until Jan 2019 Houston (R) Hartford (D) Chattanooga (R) Bueamont (R) Edited November 6, 2019 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted November 6, 2019 Truth matters though. I will shoot down a lie every time I see it. As for the “we need to get back to governing the county” - that is another lie. Unfortunately the Senate Majority Leader can block consideration of any bills passed by the House - and he has. Legislation on gun control, healthcare, election security etc etc etc many with widespread support in the country have all been stalled by the self proclaimed “Mitch the grim reaper” Still anything to set up the big lie “ they are just do nothing Democrats” is OK eh?

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted November 6, 2019 Boy am I glad I started this thread... Warren will be the Democratic candidate. Warren will beat Trump (unless he is already in jail) in the popular vote, and probably in the electoral college. If so the next four years will be spent trying to undo Trump’s toxic legacy, but only as much as the Supreme Court, whose clear Republican majority is his one real achievement, will allow.
