Donald Trump

[MillionMilesAway]

9pm tonight, a discussion with industry execs about reopening - I wonder whether he'll vent some more after that!

Where's the condemnation that's getting me?

Had it been Beijing, Tehran, Pyongyang, Damascus. Rabb and the rest of the world would be kicking off.

This is one of the most powerful pieces of news media you will see this year. The arrest of a non-confrontational mainstream media film crew and reporter in the process of reporting on live TV in the USA should set alarm bells ringing the world over. This really should not be happening in any Western democracy.

That arrest came out of nowhere, so I can only imagine it was on orders from someone else. Why there isn't worldwide outrage, I'll never know.

Not all Donald Trump voters are Nazis.
Not all Democrat supporters love Chairman Mao.

I'm not sure the "problem" could be better illustrated than by these two sentences juxtaposed, as if they say the same thing from opposite perspectives.

Read them again, and then keep reading them until you've figured out the problem, mate.

I knew it, I totally knew it. He knows he's fucked so he's setting the wheels in motion.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Agree. Its a classic false equivalence.

Are there some alarming similarities between Trump politics and the early years of the Nazis - Yes, no doubt.
Are there any similarities between Dem politics and the early years of the Chinese communist party - No, none at all, the opposite even.

It's not only that!

"Democrats" support a political party, a platform and a candidate set.

"Donald Trump voters" are in a cult of personality.

The contrast is stark, and it is blatantly obvious the author is a racist.

What is alarming in all this is that a CNN news crew was arrested for reporting on the situation in Minneapolis BEFORE the 4 police officers involved in the George Floyd murder.

He would fit in well here as a poster on politics threads on BM with all his meaningless whataboutery

 

[Mon Autre]

@Mon Autre - they may not be Nazi's but there is more than a whif of Nazism in whats going on here

Well yes I agree. It's pretty terrifying. This is why I think it's important to say comparing Trumpism to Naziism is nowhere near as ridiculous as calling comparing Democrat voters Maoists. It's not a case of tit for tat. Trump has literally spoken out on behalf of people that wave swastikas. Anything left of centre right shouldnt be made out to be anithesis of what Trump is doing. The overton window is being pulled so far to the right at the moment!

Deep!

If he wants flags, I can oblige with one type...

I was thinking "We Didn't Start The Fire" there.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Deep!

Annnnnnd it begins;

fucking lol. One word tweet. That's about as complicated as most of his voters will understand though.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Some people have way too much time on my hands.

CHIINA!

CHIINA!

I love watching that it really tickles me

 

[RandomJ]

His thumbs must have biceps the amount of time he is on Twitter.

Not even subtle having a CNN reporter targeted.
