Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Pienaar's gloves]

No, you don't seem to mind about them whatsoever.

I'd like to hear more about this with examples.

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

Did you actually type this thinking it was clever, and would get people opposed to your view to back down? there's better ways to win an argument.

I've already won it mate, not that I am trying to win anything at all. There is no argument to be had. It's done and dusted.

Read what you've posted, there's enough for a volume within.

NONE of them were refugees.....Oh well, maybe one was.

Will that do ya? Don't preach to me about facts when you can't even make your own mind up.

 

[Moomin]

I see Saudi's doing all it can for them, eh?

Oman? Kuwait? UAE? All brewstered, all able to accommodate...



I see. Mohammad Atta - How long had he been an American?

Saudi Arabia has nigh on half a millions refugees, UAE over 250K. Kuwait over 150K

You can't expect the nearby countries to take them all in, shouldn't we as human beings be expected to help out??

If someone collapsed in the street would you walk by and leave them??

I've no idea who Mohammed Atta is.

Yes, a horrendous specimen. This could get very ugly. However, I have to say that this is partly down to mainstream Republicans disavowing Trump and creating a vacuum that neo-fascists can fill. The GOP old guard should be in and around the Trump presidency and throwing themselves on top of this hand grenade. They deserted their duty before the GE in the belief Clinton could down him for them.

You make a very good point. Not only is it obviously in the US's interests to have GOP seniors around Trump, but looking more narrowly from the GOP perspective, they must realise the potential for Trump to irrevocably destroy their franchise during the course of his "flag of convenience" Republican Presidency?

Shutting down arguments. Liberal kopite behaviour imo

It will.

When you show me where I posted that none of them came in posing as a refugee.

You're using evidence from obviously biased and crap sources that is false and now falsely attributing quotes to other posters.

Err...Yes - I can expect them countries to do more. Not as if they're in no position to, is it?

I'll bet Turkey, Lebanon & Jordan would appreciate the extra help, too.

Mohammed Atta? Try 9/11.

I'm starting to see a disturbing pattern emerge between Hilary Clinton supporters and fans of Liverpool Football Club. Both seemingly unable to accept decisions not going their way, both willing to participate in violence to try and get their own way, both seem to have a our-voices-will-be-heard! attitude in light of a bruising defeat, both seemingly unable to accept the laws of the land. Do you want to be a Liverpool Football Club fan?

What violence?

I've seen protests, but no violence (Happy to be corrected if wrong). They have every right to protest in my eyes. If such a dangerous and abhorrent xenophobic bigot got into power here, I wouldn't lie down and take it either.

It is Trumps supporters who have sparked an alarming rise in hate crime since the election. White supremacists across the country are in celebration. He's even had to come out today to ask for calm. So I find your post in poor taste to be honest, if serious.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the concept of being judged by the company you keep.

That being so, what does it say about Trump to bring Stephen Bannon into the White House alongside Priebus as Chief of Staff?

Background material published in August: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/stephen-bannon-donald-trump-alt-right-breitbart-news

"By bringing on Stephen Bannon, Trump was signaling a wholehearted embrace of the "alt-right," a once-motley assemblage of anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, ethno-nationalistic provocateurs who have coalesced behind Trump and curried the GOP nominee's favor on social media. In short, Trump has embraced the core readership of Breitbart News.

"We're the platform for the alt-right," Bannon told me proudly when I interviewed him at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July. Though disavowed by every other major conservative news outlet, the alt-right has been Bannon's target audience ever since he took over Breitbart News from its late founder, Andrew Breitbart, four years ago. Under Bannon's leadership, the site has plunged into the fever swamps of conservatism, cheering white nationalist groups as an "eclectic mix of renegades," accusing President Barack Obama of importing "more hating Muslims," and waging an incessant war against the purveyors of "political correctness."

"Andrew Breitbart despised racism. Truly despised it," former Breitbart editor-at-large Ben Shapiro wrote last week on the Daily Wire, a conservative website. "With Bannon embracing Trump, all that changed. Now Breitbart has become the alt-right go-to website, with [technology editor Milo] Yiannopoulos pushing white ethno-nationalism as a legitimate response to political correctness, and the comment section turning into a cesspool for white supremacist mememakers."

A Twitter analysis conducted by The Investigative Fund using Little Bird software found that these "elements" are more deeply connected to Breitbart News than more traditional conservative outlets. While only 5 percent of key influencers using the supremacist hashtag #whitegenocide follow the National Review, and 10 percent follow the Daily Caller, 31 percent follow Breitbart. The disparities are even starker for the anti-Muslim hashtag #counterjihad: National Review, 26 percent; the Daily Caller, 37 percent; Breitbart News, 62 percent.

I really don't think Milo is pushing for white ethno-nationalism. The alt right like it when he attacks the left, but apart from that they kind of despise him. He's a Jew, he's gay and most of his boyfriends are black. Which is all of the things the alt right hates.

And Breitbart in my opinion isn't ran by the alt right although a large portion of their readership will come from the alt right.

This is probably the best video I've watched on the topic of the alt right.



Many people use the alt right label incorrectly which has annoyed the actual alt right funnily enough. They refer to these people as the alt lite.

I find it interesting and frightening that after years of left identity politics the identity politics of the right is now on the rise. I can't see a way to stop it either as more and more moderate people are pushed to the extremes and toward the alt right.

It wont be easy for him eventhough rebs won the whole shebang.

i do find it amusing that you seem to be treating this election a bit like a football match...

I think the two party system is pretty much cemented into the political process there, and it'd make no sense to see one part of the duopoly destroyed. He can certainly shift them further to the right than they care to be, as the GOP old guard must see that they've ignored their base and need to get nearer to it.

Overall, I think Trump will be a phenomenon. The States give rise to figures like this who shuffle to the head of the pile (Barry Goldwater, for example) - although obviously they've never taken the Executive before. Trumpism will be like the Know Nothing movement in the nineteenth century: fuelled by hate and identity politics that'll blow itself out as Trump himself is seen to be anything but the answer.
