What has Trump done now?

[facthunter]

He rubs former allies Noses in the Cat$$#!t and expects us to follow him into stupid situations Like we have done blindly before without Questioning it. Even Americans are sick of Foreign Wars that Never end well. .  Nev

l reckon, but so how ironic is it that the rest of the world respecting the US again was one of his biggest things campaigning.  

Yet instead he's made a laughing stock out of himself , destroyed just about any international relations they had and they're leaving him in dust .

 

 

 

What Trump meant by respect was not admiration, but more like the `respect' a Mafia mob boss wants.

And just like a mafia boss, he should be behind bars 

[facthunter]

He Behaves just like one. He only deals when he has a gun to your Head. IF he was a car Headlight bulb, He'd be  about 5 watts. Definitely NOT Forman Material.. Nev

Shooting at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

Ho-hum, just another casual shooting incident, and another day in America. But I wonder what would have eventuated if a large number of deaths had occurred? Lots more guns being handed out, no doubt, just to make sure EVERYONE was armed to the teeth!

[Grumpy Old Nasho]

You were handed a gun once.

Who did the shooting?

 

The reports I have heard have come from our own ABC correspondent who was in the room, with 2000 others. He reported that those inside the ballroom heard shots coming from outside it. Released video shows the intruder breaking through the security barrier and running towards to room. What do you think the response of the security people would be, given their 'shoot first' attitude?

 

Four shots fired. My money is on those shots coming from the security people. The intruder is most likely to have been concentrating on getting to the door of the room, not getting into a gunfight beforehand.

[Marty_d]

I heard that a security guard had been shot by the intruder (shotgun), but not injured due to protective equipment (guessing vest).

Early days yet for an explanation. But look at teh first second of this video wheer you see the intruder running and security people shooting.

I was indeed - as were you and around 63,000 other young men. But the major difference between a "lone wolf" radical, mentally disturbed assassin, is that those young Australian men were screened for mental instability and other psychological problems, and those found unsuitable were rejected from induction into the military.

 

Those men inducted, were trained to good levels of competency, and given instructions in what to do, as regards identifying enemy combatants - and they were also given "rules of engagement", which follow the Geneva Conventions.

 

This is a world apart from the American scene, where any number of high powered firearms are freely available to any U.S. citizen, regardless of their soundness of mind, their ethics and morals, and their beliefs. In addition, there is no requirement for any firearms training whatsoever for U.S. civilians, and adherents of the U.S. firearm worship cult, also train up their young children in the use of firearms - which to me, is the sign of a morally and ethically bankrupt civilisation.

It's a CULT thing that the USA seems to thrive on.. Nev

Apparently he was a Californian teacher who travelled to Washington. Suspected target and motive unknown at this time.

Are you all glad it happened? You hate Trump donchyas, what's ya thoughts on it?

[facthunter]

Big pile on about Nothing much.  Trump should be accountable for his Lies and Making Money out of being the POTUS AND being a....The list is too long to write and More Americans are waking up to the damage HE has caused and will continue to do so Unless He's stopped.  He is getting desperate so expect more Outrageous Illegal actions against any group or Individuals He doesn't like. It's going to be  a hard road for the US from here. . Nev

[Grumpy Old Nasho]

Yeah but the United States is our most important Ally, regardless of who the president is.

 

Should we change that and make China our most important Ally? China has the left leaning social policies that you blokes like, don't they?

[onetrack]

I'm not glad at all that an attempted U.S. Presidential assassination took place, and I don't hate that much, that I want leaders assassinated. But this is the U.S., where nutcases, conspiracy theorists, and promoters of hatred abound, and where guns are freely available and also available in huge quantities (1.3B firearms for a population of 380M). So that firearms-loving cult is only going to keep producing attempted assassinations.

 

Despite the U.S.'s problems, they're still our primary ally, and still the worlds biggest superpower. China doesn't rate as an important ally, they wouldn't come to our assistance if attacked, whereas America normally would.

Under Trump, there's a much lessened chance that America would come to help us repel an enemy who invaded. We don't have anything that Trump really wants, that is the major problem.

We're getting like that now, if you've noticed the shooting of drug lords and drive-by shooting through windows and walls of rival gang abodes.

 

The Bondi shootings.

 

Cops were issued with long arm guns for ANZAC day celebrations.

 

As I said before, we need to remove out blinkers.

No, I'm not. I have no respect for Trump and I think he's a disaster for the US and the world, but I don't wish him dead. 

[onetrack]

Agree, we need to be harsher on these Middle Eastern criminals, and impose longer sentences on them, when they display criminality.

 Also, if polling is accurate after November, he will most likely be a lame duck president.
