banana Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I've Googled it again and it was as I recalled - he said nothing of the sort that "all Mexicans are thieves and rapists". This thread is unfortunately the usual one-eyed political tribalism and intentional strawmanning/bogeymanning. Childish as f**k tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is unfortunately the usual one-eyed political tribalism and intentional strawmanning/bogeymanning. Childish as f**k tbh. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists." Ok, he didn't actually say the words "all mexicans". But bad enough wouldn't you say? I also said he should be banned for his bad hair which should have been enough of a clue for you not to take the post literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 He doesn't say they're all rapists but does suggest that quite a lot are. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/9-outrageous-things-donald-trump-has-said-about-latinos_us_55e483a1e4b0c818f618904b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There we go, I knew you chaps had it in you Now you can dissect what he actually said and look for evidence that does and doesn't support what he's saying, and how much of a point he has, and how much he's looking for a reaction.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 He can't even sell a stunner from Stone Cold and people want him leading the most powerful country in the world? That's what stopped Linda McMahon from being elected to the senate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This shows what he said was shit stirring nonsense designed to get the paranoid bigot vote. New immigrants are far less likely to be convicted of serious crime than those born in America. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/07/08/donald-trumps-false-comments-connecting-mexican-immigrants-and-crime/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's really a good guy and we're all swivel eyed loons for criticising him. I'm sure you and Donald would get on well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Banana being an utter weirdo again. Probably found out Trump hates women as well and now loves the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Well it'll likely be a lunatic male vs a female for the Presidency. Doesn't take a genius to work out who Banana will be cheering for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I saw trump banging on about how he would build an almighty wall to keep out the Mexicans as they have taken advantage for too long. The percentage of people who are in trumps age bracket who have racist views is probably quite high both in America and the U.K. I would imagine.

welshbairn Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Excellent, so we've reached a (bizarrely grudging) consensus that Trump didn't saying anything remotely to the effect that all Mexicans are thieves and rapists Quite right, he bravely admits that there may some good Mexican immigrants out there that he doesn't know about.

sparky88 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 100%. Extremely embarrassing this is even being debated. Though good to see Alex Salmond showing his true bitterness: "I want all Donald Trumps banned from Scotland" Minter indeed. I think he believes that the more bitter he seems, the more likely we are to forget that he's only recently removed his tongue from Mr trump's.....

Mortar Bored Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 is free speech now been bad ? Spongeheid indeed...... I can only try to decipher what you are trying to articulate here. Free speech is neither bad nor banned, neither is calling out these racist, blinkered views as having nasty undertones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The debate wasn't really about free speech or immigration as the vote didn't have any authority or consequences. It was about determining whether Trump is a wazzock or not. Pretty well 100% agreed he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 He is an undeniable wazzock - if we were to get rid of all the wazzocks in the UK we would be down to about 20 million. Banning one Islamaphobe from the country isn't going to solve anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like your thinking throbber, some of these wazzocks have really nice houses to move into. Let's start a popular movement. P.S. What's your place like btw?
