pandarilla Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The Swampy stuff was pretty counter productive. If you're going to play the man, at least do it right. The arguments he makes are made on the basis of bigotry. Someone that old who still has those beliefs isn't going to be won over. They're fuelled by hatred. I disagree. He's not that old, and views change all the time. But other people read the threads - it's not just about the person you're debating with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are folk who thought he performed well. Just think about that for a minute. There are folk who watched this press conference and thought Trump performed well. Theirs is the only opinion he will listen too. He will have no idea that he is a complete embarrassment because his sycophants don't think so (or won't tell him if they do) and because there are millions of ignorant people who think that their President should be boorish, insulting, ignore questions, fail to answer reasonable questions, make comments bordering on racism, insult a Jewish reporter asking about anti-semitism, talk gibberish about uranium, lie about election results, lie about the economy he inherited from his predecessor and continue to be obsessed about the woman he beat in an election to become President. On this basis I think future press conferences have the potential to be worse than this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It doesn't matter if it's Swampy or not. That whole thing is redundant when there's the more pressing issue of blatant racism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has just launched a "you grade the press" online poll, which asks anyone who cares to judge the issues which the "Mainstream Media" (usually a sign of a conspiratorial fruit loop) most misrepresents the GOP and Trump's message in particular. Once you get to the end of it, it asks for a donation to the Trump foundation. Daylight robbery isn't nearly strong enough.

cyderspaceman Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I've just read the transcript of Trumps 'press conference' of yesterday. A load of rambling incomprehensible nonsense which would get him ripped to shreds even on this forum. I'm going to use a cliche here. It would be funny if it weren't so serious. Funny if it weren't so serious, folks. Serious. Very, very, very serious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I see Swampy is on the "He's saving coal jobs! He's good!" train. Marvellous. Overstating his relevance in bullying a handful of jobs in a dying industry to stay in the country by helping to destroy the environment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain Americans in the mining industry couldn't give two fucks about the long term consequences for poor countries far away from them. Trump is giving his voters exactly what they wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving creationist nutjobs a platform to spread their message allow them to spread their message. Deplorable/ swampy/ Yank Mike was banned for being a heavy racist and debating his views shows that you at least finds his views worth debating. I don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I haven't the first clue what swampy looks like and I don't really care that much either way because the guy's been banned once for being a massive racist. I don't want to waste my time arguing with someone who's hit out with crackers about blacks having a cultural problem with wealth and left wingers being naturally more "retarded" on the account where he's toning it down. If you think that adds something then by all means keep stanning for the guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(boo) The speech at the rally over the weekend should be good. https://www.whitehouse.gov/featured-videos/video/2017/02/17/weekly-address 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
