trump could take out his little dick on live tv and press it onto the camera lens and you would excuse it since he bashes and attacks minorities...its the only quality that people like him for. he really knows how to get his base hooked on himself I'll give him that.

It sure does seem that way.

Now his administration's next cultural battleground is legal cannabis (and the hundreds of thousands of people it employs).
I wonder how that will go for them?

I kinda doubt it honestly. Could be wrong, but my read on this is that trump isn't particularly involved or interested in this issue. Sessions is, but how much that'll actually mean if trump is uninterested and will likely not want the controversy is hard to say.
 
So now we have a prominent Democrat expressing support for a group whose activities have been formally classified by the DHS as domestic terrorism.

Another terrorist attack (fortunately foiled) by one of trump's boys from the charlottesville "unite the right" fascist rally.
Charming bunch of people, eh?

umm relevance?
I denounce both terrorist groups, this isn't 'my terrorists are more moral than your terrorists'.
Terrorism = bad
Trump's base is anti-terrorism in all forms from any side.

I find it worrying that the DNC would so publicly align itself with a terrorist organization.

Relevance? It relates to your post above it. Trump hates anti-fascism why? Because he fancies himself a bit of a strongman. A dictator.
But he's too stupid, and he's in deep legal and political shit. Not dictator material.

As for charlottesville, of the two broad coalitions of people protesting there, only one side had terrorists amongst it - and it's the same side that has many guys sporting trump hats.
You're not being very honest, calling anti-nazi protesters "terrorists". They were out there opposing hate, not causing it. And one of them was killed for it, and many more injured.

And if you want to know why i posted that here, it's because i don't want to start another thread to talk about nazis, because it fills up very quickly with disingenuous nazi apologism, of the sort you've been known to dabble in. It's a yawn, nazi's aren't worth discussing.
They're actually terrorists, as the Amtrak incident (which was made public in the last days, but happened last year) proves.

I imagine it has been kept quiet as to not inspire other nazi lunatics from attempting some copy-cat atrocity, but who knows?
 
I just thank god that the USA's system of government makes it difficult for Trump to act in the way I'm sure he wants to act. He'd be just another tinpot dictator if given the chance...a Putin or Erdogan-style political thug, only probably even less "sophisticated" about it.

The belief that somehow Trump is pro free speech is just laughable...as is the idea that he would inspire anything but revulsion & disgust from civil libertarians.
 
Although some so-called libertarians have become toadies for Trump.

I usually label myself "libertarian" (in the broad sense of the term, not necessarily in the "American libertarian" sense) and everything I've seen of Trump indicates to me that he's on the opposite end of the political spectrum...everything from the bellicose posturing on drugs & crime to the casual use of xenophobic, bigoted and/or nationalistic sentiment indicates someone for whom the libertarian value system holds little sway

Even the deregulation he's done in various parts of the government have felt more like kickbacks to a collection of monied interests than anything else. This latest thing he did regarding the massive expansion of off shore drilling (which is opposed by the political leadership of almost coastal state in the country!) is particularly concerning to me as a commercial fisherman.

Has the secret of Donald Trump’s hair finally been revealed?

Name: Trump’s hair.

Age: New? Old? Carved from the very fabric of time itself? We may never know.

Appearance: A bin lid made of barbershop sweepings.

Oh, that’s a good one. Hey, what about this? Appearance: A tumble-dried baboon.

Amazing! Any more? Appearance: A sentient, sicked-up hairball.

Can we just make the whole thing this, please? Sadly, we cannot. For the secret of Donald Trump’s hair has finally been revealed.

You’re kidding me. Nope. Tucked away in Michael Wolff’s new book, Fire and Fury: Inside Trump’s White House, drowned out by all the stuff about how colossally useless he and everyone on his team is, you will find a precise description of how his abstract sculpture of a haircut came to be.

This is huge news! The hugest. Apparently, Ivanka Trump often mocks the haircut’s elaborate construction process to others, which is how Wolff got wind of it.

And? Don’t leave me hanging here! So, first, Trump is apparently completely bald on top.

Well, duh. Also, the book says he had scalp-reduction surgery.

What the hell is scalp-reduction surgery? It’s when surgeons snip off some of your bald scalp, then stretch the remaining hair-covered portion of scalp up over your skull.

That sounds like a living nightmare. I know. Also it costs thousands of dollars, scabs over like nobody’s business and often doesn’t work.

Is that it? Of course that’s not it. According to the book, Trump then brushes his hair by bringing it all up from the front and sides, before locking it into place with a stiffening spray. In addition, his doctor has said that Trump takes the hair-loss drug finasteride, which has been linked with several physical, psychological and ejaculatory side-effects.

Dare I ask about the colour? Of his hair? Of course. The book claims that Trump uses Just for Men, a product that darkens the longer it’s left in.

But his hair isn’t dark at all. Well spotted. Apparently, Trump doesn’t have the patience to leave it in for the full length of time. In summary, the president of the United States has such a short attention span that he can’t wait long enough to stop his hair being the colour of dehydrated camel urine.

Do say: “It’s good to make fun of Donald Trump’s hair again.”

Don’t say: “This certainly bodes well for the future of the planet.”

No it doesn't, only if you think our entire society is split up into Antifa vs Nazis which is beyond ridiculous. Most people are unaware of both factions even existing, and apart from what happened in Charlottesville it is barely worthy of discussion.

Trump hates anti-fascism why?
Do you have direct evidence of Trump hating anti-facism? No because it's another wild claim. This also implies that he is pro-fascism which is something else that you cannot prove (and obviously is not true)

But he's too stupid
This lie needs to die already. Many people who bash Trump as a buffoon couldn't make a million bucks - let alone a BILLION - and couldn't get elected dogcatcher let alone POTUS.

and he's in deep legal and political shit.
Yes however not on the side that you assume.

As for charlottesville, of the two broad coalitions of people protesting there, only one side had terrorists amongst it - and it's the same side that has many guys sporting trump hats.
They were not "broad coalitions". They were two groups, directed by forces behind the scenes to clash and create some havoc. Ignoring the hidden hands involved there and jumping straight to labeling all Trump supporters Nazis is not the correct way to analyze the situation and helps nothing.

You're not being very honest, calling anti-nazi protesters "terrorists". They were out there opposing hate, not causing it. And one of them was killed for it, and many more injured.
You can label or justify your cause anyway you choose. A jihadi suicide bomber does not consider himself a terrorist, he is doing the noble thing by blowing up civilian women and children in the name of fighting "capitalism/West/fascism/insert your chosen ideology" but objectively that guy is still a terrorist. This is the same with your Antifa buddies. The DHS has labeled Antifa a domestic terror organization. You've been deceived by the media and other interests into thinking that Trump is a fascist that you need to resist, therefore doing something noble by engaging in terrorism (which is defined as instigating violence meant to strike fear in others for political purposes).

And if you want to know why i posted that here, it's because i don't want to start another thread to talk about nazis, because it fills up very quickly with disingenuous nazi apologism, of the sort you've been known to dabble in. It's a yawn, nazi's aren't worth discussing.
There we go I was waiting for you to call me a Nazi. All Trump supporters are Nazis? Damn we got a lot of Nazis in America!!

They're actually terrorists, as the Amtrak incident (which was made public in the last days, but happened last year) proves.
All terrorism is abhorrent, whether it's committed by white people, faux-Nazis, real Nazis, Muslims, Jews or ANTIFA.

I imagine it has been kept quiet as to not inspire other nazi lunatics from attempting some copy-cat atrocity, but who knows?
Charlottesville failed to incite race and civil war. You need to get over it. Where is the spate of Nazi attacks that happened then? Antifa are not superheroes, they are confused students. They think a communism revolution is worth fighting for and that Trump is a Nazi. Would a Nazi make a grand gesture to Israel by recognizing Jerusalem as their capital? Do you have the slightest iota of solid evidence that Trump is a Nazi? "ohh one time he said there were bad people on both sides" - that is not strong evidence for anything.

trump is as authoritarian as they come. "Libertarians" who support trump are admitting that they have no idea what libertarianism actually is.
LOL Trump is basically a business democrat which is why all this talk is so amusing. Guys I think we need to perform an intervention. I'm worried about your take on what is going on. Nobody commented or seemed to notice my previous post on the amazing recovery of the economy. Does nobody care about real issues anymore and all we want to do is make up fantastic stories about Trump being some kind of dictator? How long do things have to chug along just fine before we drop this stuff and get back down to business? Honestly though, it's been a year and what actions has Trump made that have been so outrageous and shocking?
 
How about outsmarting the entire political establishment? Would that take some semblance of intelligence? If he was the moronic nincompoop that you assume him to be then he wouldn't have won, but he would also have been removed by now. If he's dumb look how spectacularly stupid the rest of the politicians are..

Patronising silliness aside, one of the reasons i'm looking forward to seeing trump get his racist arse handed to him on a plastic mcdonalds tray is the sort of bullshit 'banter' you are engaging in here.

Are you really this infatuated with this rapey old kkk slob?

I get that he's an open racist and that appeals to some people; but seriously man. It's hard to take this conversation seriously.
 
I spent many, many pages in the old thread pleading with every single Trump-hating member of the forum to offer evidence that Trump is a racist, and they failed. There were even a few members that eventually admitted along the lines of "even though he doesn't seem to be racist, I still dislike him because of xyz reasons". I presented far more evidence to prove that he was not racist and you simply ignore it. And I'm not being patronizing or silly, are you just unwilling to accept that some positive things have happened since Trump became president?

Trump performed better with minorities than Mitt Romney. Are you saying that Romney is more racist than Trump? Or are you implying that those minorities are too stupid to know what they were voting for, exposing your own covert racism? The more I learn the truth the more I've come to realize that the Democrats are the actual racist party. I used to think Republicans were inherently racist but that's only because I listened to a lot of the MSM's garbage. The Left needs to keep minorities down and dependent on their handouts, ensuring they remain ignorant and loyal voters.

You will see very soon that Trump was a much-needed change for the the country, the world and humanity in general. I predict that within the next 6 months it will become undeniable. So I'm sorry to inform you that Trump will not be getting his arse handed to him. There is more of a chance of Obama getting his arse reamed in Guantanamo Bay.
