facthunter Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 If we can guarantee another century of anything like normal. (Not that that is good enough) We must start thinking and being correctly informed if there's any real future for us all. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 If we could dismantle media conglomerations and go back to the independent local or regional media style of the 19th Century we would broaden the scope of opinion on political matters. A return to emphasis on local news, with condensed national and international reports would make the media a relevant source of information rather than the infotainment it is now.

facthunter Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It's not entertaining. It's mind altering, money making deliberate LIES and deception, done by experts for their GAIN.(and at your loss). Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hihosland Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Good thinking;- get in and buy it cheap before the greenhouse effects of burning what's left of Pennsylvania's coal makes Greenland green again.

Jerry_Atrick Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I was listening to LBC last night which is a talk back station that has hosts from all sides of th political spectrum but definitely has a right-wing focus. Jacob Rees-Mog has a weekly segment and Nigel Farage has a Mondat - Thursday segment (though he can no longer take a fee as he is a MEP again). Anyway, amongst the banal Brexit conversation, their political editor, who is fair to say normally takes a measured tone to Trump was emphatic he had gone off his rocker. I won't go into everything but ut was worrying that people at his speeches/convetions were enthusiastically cheering him - amongst things accuations the Democracts called him a Nazi (not true - racist yes; Nazi - no), accused a demonstrator at one of his conventions as having a weight problem - when clearly the demonstrator was svelt; the Greeland thing and blaming the Republican electoral defeat in the Hampsires as a "paranormal event where a lot of voters turned up..." Apparently, unlike his predecessors who lost mid-terms, the polls continue to slide and more and more senior republicans are calling for another endorsed leader to run the next election... We can only live in hope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Talking of Brexit, I hear UKIP's new leader has a very appropriate name. His surname is "Braine", which is definitely UNsuitable for anyone involved in UKIP, but this is mitigated by the fact that his first name is "Richard". Use its common contraction and you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litespeed Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Now I just consulted my own dickbrain and confirm it is far more intelligent and honest than UKIP. My little brain reminded me what UKIP really stands for.... U know Its Psychopathic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Don't forget the impending recession about to strike the USA due mainly from Trumps policies. That will kill his election chances. He has already started blaming enemies like the fed reserve, economists, the democrats and naturally the fake news. Next he will say its sunspots.

I am the way,the truth and the Life. There will be false prophets but my PROFITS are real and MY business is MY business.(But he's a fake President and ordinary Golfer and tells porkies on a grand scale and no one knows, (including HIM,) what he will do next.

facthunter Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 It was HIS idea to hire him in the first place. The rest of the world can breathe a little easier now the outrageous warmonger has gone. I don't care if he jumped or was pushed. Definition of momentary. The length of a trump employee's tenure..

Yenn Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 How many of his crew have been sacked or have left? I wonder how his record would compare with any other president. The frightening thing is that he is acting as a model for all the other leaders of political parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Like all weird whacko's and manipulators he will have his rusted on adherents for whom he can do no wrong , who ignore all the outrageous behaviour and believe his tweets and IF ever he's terfed out for some misdeed ,they will regard that as a conspiracy against a Saint.

pmccarthy Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Its a tribute to the US system that he hasn't started a war yet. There must be enough checks and balances to ring fence even the totally loopy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methusala Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think to the contrary. Donald Trump has taken decisions, on several occasions, to negate the war mongering actions of people like John Bolton. For example, the non-attack on Iran following downing of a US drone.

Bruce Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I reckon Methusala has a good point. If you bluster a lot then you can do things like bring the troops home without appearing weak. I think it possible that the US is at war less under Trump than it was with Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 ...I think it possible that the US is at war less under Trump than it was with Obama. Bit simplistic. How many wars did Obama start? How many did he inherit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
