Donald trump agrees that there was Russian interference in the election, but he says it did not influence the outcome of the election.

No influence on the outcome because he says so !jk! IMO he has exposed his Mr Smart Mouth immaturity.

Actually the Missipi Bugle would do fine in disputing your claim that only Fox News supports him. Breitbart, American Thinker and Drudge Report would also do. Just one is all that's needed to dispute your everyone but Fox News claim. Seems you have been caught out.

And no, I didn't say. "Trump has billionaires in the cabinet and gives tax cuts to financial institutions he is an establishments stooge". What I said was:

Wall Street, Corporate America, billionaires, Murdoch and the other pro-Trump media" are Trump's establishment allies, they certainly represent a far greater chunk of the establishment than the left wing media, limousine liberals and other world leaders who have close to if not zero influence on American domestic politics."

You realky think that the left wing media is more powerful and influential than Wall Street, Corporate America, the wealthiest individuals and the right wing media combined?

Wow.

Seems you can find any significant media outlet that supports Trump other than Fox News and are desperately trying to save face ,Breitbart...American thinker and Drudge report? You really are reaching the level of the Mississippi bugle and to think I was mocking you ....you lived up to it ...wow!
Keep using Trumps association with financial institutions as proof f your claim that he is an establishment stooge ...which means that you are saying that financial institutions are the establishment ...which they are not..wow!
See post 2477.
As I said the Missisipi Bugle would do fine to counter your "all media excpet Fox News has villified him". The likes of CNN and NBC might not be pro-Trump but they aren't exactly anti-Trump either and are reasonably balanced.

And show me one post where I have said that the financial institutions alone are the establishment. Go on, just one to back up this claim you have made repeatedly.

What I have said is that his collusion with Wall Street AND (please not the use of the word AND) corporate America, wealthy individuals and the right wing media are proof that Trump is an establishment stooge.

And I note you ducked my earlier question, who would you say has more influence in American domestic politics, a combination of Wall Street, corporate America, wealthy individuals and the right wing press led by Murdoch or the anti-Trump media and celebrities and non-American world leaders?

You realise that these wealthy companies and individuals can buy and sell media outlets right?

:thumbsup:

To me it is too soon to be making any sort of finite analysis about the Trump administration, though the indications are that he remains (to some degree) mainstream Republican.
Another point needed to be made is that both Democrats & Republicans are in essence Establishment, are tied to policies that serve corporate American success/wellbeing.
Neither can be thought of as Socialists!

Agreed on both points, the two party system makes it all too easy for the establishment to run the system with wealthy individuals and corporations often openly funding both candidates in elections to ensure that whoever wins is beholden to them.

So Trump has cancelled his UK visit:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42657954

Naturally he's blaming Obama, although I suspect the real reason is that king snowflake's fragile ego couldn't have handled the inevitable anti-Trump protests.

Trump 'in crude Oval Office outburst about migrants' 6 minutes ago

US President Donald Trump has reportedly lashed out at immigrants in a foul-mouthed Oval Office outburst.

"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"

Maybe, his handlers were quietly told behind closed doors that there was "no room at the inn" for Trump in the UK at the current time..

Besides, it's hard to get locally grown rotting produce in January.

I had a rather nice stay in the Dominican Republic a few years ago ( for those who haven’t got a map it is part of an island With Haití) but it was within a complex that was guarded by guys with pick axe handles.
Outside of the complex it was certainly a shit hole. Especially in the small villages and along the pot holed roads.
So if the Dominican Republic is a shithole then Haití must be.
In other news Canadians are insulted by Trump insisting that Canada is ‘ pissing cold ‘.

Yes, one doesn't have to always reference the other side when discussing the faults of others.

One doesn't also have to confine the debate to one side or the other either.

It should be entirely up to those involved in the discussion IMO.

What a fookin cheek.When everything was stacked against them MSM,Bureaucrats, establishment. Yep shore was a fair election wasn't it !jk! AND WE STILL WON..AMAZING don't ya think ?
No, we had 18 years of callous Conservatism, repeatedly voted for by the electorate. Nothing the easily misled UK electorate does amazes me.
Does'nt that tell you something then,Take heed. It tells me the UK does not want socialism and all its PC trappings as you can see around the world.People are saying what they think now and be damned,not what they are allowed to think. GOOD innit ?

eg.TRUMP is reported to have called some places "SHITHOLES" and why shouldn't he, he is correct ?

I don't see many holiday bookings for them,do you?

Just because something may have some truth to it doesn't necessarily make it a good idea to say it.

It may be true for instance that a work colleague is overweight but calling them a fat b@rstard out loud probably wouldn't be a smart move or helpful to anyone.

It might set them in context but I think you'll struggle to find anything to match the offensive, lie and u-turn ridden intellectual cesspit of the thoughts of Trump.

On the matter at hand the countries concerned might indeed be not disimilar from shitholes but we expect decency, leadership and character from the important world leaders not shamelessly stoking up and exploiting racial based hate that he indulged in

That depends on who you tell it too .
If you call a work colleague a fat bastard and the person who you tell it to tells the fat bastard then who is wrong ?
People use language poorly and crassly all the time.
If the person you tell then tells the fat bastard to cause trouble then who is the destructive one?

You made a specific point in your first sentence. Which I questioned.
Where the ‘I don’t understand either what a strawman is or what I previously posted ‘ emoji.?

eg.TRUMP is reported to have called some places "SHITHOLES" and why shouldn't he, he is correct ?


Why he shouldn't is 'diplomacy'.
Seeing as how diplomacy has achieved very little over decades, and why these 'shitholes' continue to export their crap ideology, their unwanted people, to the civilised West it would seem that Trump said what they should hear - There will come a time when it has to STOP. For Trump that time is NOW.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
No, we had 18 years of callous Conservatism, repeatedly voted for by the electorate. Nothing the easily misled UK electorate does amazes me.
Does'nt that tell you something then,Take heed. It tells me the UK does not want socialism and all its PC trappings as you can see around the world.People are saying what they think now and be damned,not what they are allowed to think. GOOD innit ?

I don't see many holiday bookings for them,do you?
It tells me how easily misled the electorate is. One doesn't need to become so right-wing in order to avoid left-wing politicians. There is huge scope between the left and right wing of politics for sensible politics and sensible government.

Not only a right-wing government brought to power by the lies and misrepresentations of the 1970s, but then went on to lay the foundations of 20 years of high unemployment, and sowed the seeds of our eventual economic downfall in 2008.

Trump likes to make a fool of himself, that's it.

By all means do so if you think it's relevant.


It wouldn’t be. ‘Other people do it ‘usually isn’t unless it has a bearing on the point made .
Ok fine don't talk about it then.

Just because something may have some truth to it doesn't necessarily make it a good idea to say it.

It may be true for instance that a work colleague is overweight but calling them a fat b@rstard out loud probably wouldn't be a smart move or helpful to anyone.
Are they SHITHOLES,YES or NO ?

Would you like to have a country full of them ?

It is not what he said it could have been about anything.it is the fact that he is saying it and fighting the PC culture.Make no mistake whatever happens over there flows right over here eventually.2-5 yrs later.

You would think he has committed mass murder the abuse he is getting,all orchestrated by the MSM and deep state. It is not TRUMP you need to worry about,it's his followers 30 odd million who voted for him.

Trumps language is crass .
He could be doing it because he is so stupid that he didn’t think that a Democrat in the meeting would leak it ...or he could be playing to his supporters.
You choose..

Exactly I agree it is diplomacy and you are right. They are exporting their crap all over the world especially to the states and he is right.They have had enough and it is being called out and needs to stop. Afterall their not sending their best and brightest are they ?

What idiot unless there was an agenda behind it would open his door to people like that ?

That is your opinion and your welcome to it. But Trump is fighting on all fronts and he will win. You say there is a big gap left in the middle of politics,you would think with all our brightest minds someone would exploit that,and they have'nt

I agree it's crass.

I think that most of us have to moderate our behaviour and language at work to some extent for the sake of professionalism and cohesion.

I also think that the leader of the free world should be setting an example in this respect.

He is not abusive,he is telling it how it is. Are you not a fan of the truth ?

As AFFA said diplomacy has been used for years and it doesn't work with the uneducated.Time to call a spade a spade so to speak (no pun intended) and a different approach is needed.
