pandarilla Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Are the Democratic party setting themselves up for another humiliating loss in 2020 with the same old racebaiters and denial merchants in positions of power? Tucker Carlson hits it out of the park again. Tucker Carlson lol. Jon Stewart handing him his jotters is one of my favourite youtube clips of all time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 So now one of the women who he said lied about assault claims is suing him for defamation. Just another day. You can sue someone who claims you defamed them... for defamation?Sounds lucrative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely outmaneuvered by Stewart, crackin clip for understanding a particular debate 'winning' strategy and watching the slowly unraveling opponent. What's your thoughts on the interview I posted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first few minutes but I don't have more time just now. It seemed quite typical for fox. Carlson has an angle which he keeps coming back to - but he wasn't quite as irritating as I expected. Dnc didn't appear to be the brightest, but up to the point I watched very little caught my attention. I'll try to watch the rest later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Chelsea Manning's sentence commuted by Obama. It will be interesting to see the Trumpets reaction to this now that Julian Assange is their new hero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 13 hours ago, FlyerTon said: This appeared in the 'Sunday Herald' TV section at the weekend. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-38635518 President Trump: The Inauguration 4pm, BBC One/ STV"After a long absence, The Twilight Zone returns with one of the most ambitious, expensive and controversial productions in broadcast history. Sci-fi writers have dabbled often with alternative history stories - among the most common is the "What If The Nazis Had Won The Second World War" setting - but this huge interactive virtual reality project, which will unfold on TV, in the press, and on Twitter over the next four years, sets out to build an ongoing alternative present. The story begins in a nightmarish version of 2017 in which huge sections of the US electorate have somehow been duped into voting to make Donald Trump president. It sounds far-fetched, and it is, but as it goes on it becomes more and more chillingly plausible. Today's feature-length opener concentrates on the gaudy inauguration of President Trump, and the stirrings of protest and despair surrounding the ceremony, while pundits speculate gravely on what lies ahead. It's a flawed piece, but a disturbing glimpse of the horrors we could stumble into, if we're not careful." I'd give the person that wrote that an Oscar. And a kidney if he/she ever needed one. 6 minutes ago, welshbairn said: Chelsea Manning's sentence commuted by Obama.

Slight tangent time, but Presidential pardons are one of the biggest abuses in so called democracies. Not just in the U.S. either. As an aside, Trump will start his Presidency with the lowest approval ratings amongst the electorate in recorded history. Buy shares in Sunkist folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been commuted the sentence before now. So why did Obama wait? To help Clinton's campaign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link for that? I'll donate £100 to the charity of your choice if Assange voluntarily hands himself over to the US authorities, who incidentally haven't charged him with anything. He's currently hiding from Swedish rape charges where extradition to the US is more difficult than from the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give my money to the local hospice which cared for my neighbour last summer. Ironically, her Mum died of a similar illness, at the same age in that hospice. In fact, I'll give the money anyway. It's only a tenner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing Guantanamo and moving the remaining uncharged prisoners to a luxury rehabilitation camp in Hawaii would be a nice goodbye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racial tension and division has increased under Obama, a shameful legacy for America's first black President. The Democrats will try to deflect the blame onto Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More interesting to see how the Trump haters react, given the current line about The Russians! hacking, etc.Manning should never have been locked up imo, so am happy he has been released. I do wonder about Obama's motivation for releasing him at this late date, he's having quite the 'mare in recent weeks.Granny on the ball for once re: the bizarre power given to outgoing presidents. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
