So in the white house there is a walk of fame of past presidents. Of course Nigel didn't even have his photo, instead it's an auto pen, and both Biden and Obama have messages written by Trump slagging them off...

I'm amazed that anyone defends or makes excuses for such pathetic pettiness, but then we see it happening here... It seems there are people who genuinely revel in having a complete **** in office.

US Institute of Peace renamed after Trump

Control of the organisation, which was founded as an independent think tank, is the subject of a legal battle.

Did this one as well. Has there ever been a more narcissistic person in the Whitehouse? At least this **** can all be undone by the next president, wash the stain of Trump off all this.

Washington a poor general, very bad, an absolute loser, he almost lost at Delaware did you know that? I know that because I'm smart, but he wasn't smart. He got lucky, that's all. His face shouldn't be on the mountain, Trumps face should be on.

Jefferson gets praise for writing the Constitution but it's not that great you know? People say, and I've had a lot of people say this, people say "Sir, you could have done much better" and you know what? I could have. The Trumpstitution would have been the most beautiful document ever, believe me. I think Trump's face should be there instead of Jefferson.

Roosevelt, can you imagine being called Teddy? Like what's that about? Is he a little toy bear or something? Teddy bear I call him, yeah it's clever isn't it? He wasn't clever though, he was stupid. I think Trump's face should be there instead.

Lincoln? The guy was such a loser. If it was me, I would have sorted out the civil war in no time, he couldn't make a deal Lincoln, he couldn't make a deal. I could though, I would have made the best deal and would have made the Confederacy great again! He fought for the wrong side, he was a traitor and his head should be replaced with Trump's.
 
The Whitehouse also released a list of journalists (names, where they worked and pictures) as part of a "naughty list" for those who have opposed what Trump has said. Again, this isn't how the government acts and isn't a joke, you only need a crazy to look at that list and decide to do something. Normal government don't put out "blacklists" of journalists and media individuals like this.

Of course they would deny culpability if anything happened. At some point certain people (we all know who) need to stop laughing off this endless stream of authoritarian behaviour. I'm sure everything Trump said was laughed off until it culminated in Jan 6th and it seems nobody has learned anything. Are people going to stick their fingers in their ears and go lalala or brush it off until something really bad happens? We already have threats of false imprisonment, we have calls to violence, we have abuse of the judiciary, we have dismantling federal institutions, we have a cultist mentality among the supporters and we have completely illegal acts being floated as "jokes". Is it all a joke until political opponents are actually being hurled in jail, shipped abroad or beaten up / killed?

Think it's hyperbole? Antifa has been designated a "domestic terrorist organisation" and the Trump DoJ has put out a memo offering cash bounties to turn in people who have views that could be deemed in line with Antifa. This includes supporting trans rights, being anti ICE and being in favour of mass immigration. These views are now classified as being sympathetic to ******* terrorism. Is this going to just be laughed off?

Although he is a complete narcissist, let's look at what this renaming and plaque and ballroom nonsense is for what it really is. A desperate attempt by a failing, average at best president to be remembered for something more than being controversial.

His presidency as a domestic political achievement is nothing to write home about. He hasn't made America a better place for Americans and he hasn't accomplished anything memorable.
Internationally, his tariffs achieved a little, but no where near what he said and again haven't made things better for most Americans. In terms of peace deals, it's even worse with him looking like a lame duck.

He knows he will be nothing more than foot note in American history or at best used as an example of how to abuse the democratic system and so he's desperate to stick his name everywhere in the vain hope people will remember him for something positive.

My man you have to turn off the young turks and think for yourself lol.

Antifa are not a pro trans, pro legal immigration love in lol, they have been super violent over the last decade. This is a psychotically radicalised viewpoint, and twist of anything coming close to truth.

This is pretty accurate, he hasnt acheived what he said he would, or probably thought he would, Putin is proving a sticking point, and his legacy after thisnis in danger of mediocrity.

I'm aware, I'm not the one making the link to Antifa with those, it's the Trump administration doing that. Do you ever read what's put in front of you? It's the Trump administration stating people who hold those views are sympathetic to Antifa and they're terrorists.

So well done, you've laughed at the users that you can be branded a domestic terrorist for holding those views. It's not the young Turks saying that, it's from the ******* department of justice. Get your head out of your arse and actually pay attention to how serious this is.

They are literally trying to imprison the people who investigated him you still sit there acting like it's all just a laugh. What's wrong with you? Every time I bother to read what you're writing, you remind me why I block you.

So your serious claim is that Antifa has been deemed a terror organisation because they hold pro trans and Immigration views?

Are you ok? Thats a ludicrous take! Youll just over look the police ambushes, shootings, civilian deaths, property damage, political intimidation, hell those involved with Antifa activities even took over a block of Seattle lol. But i suppose proactive violence against what is perceived fascism is ok?

The fact is you cant have mobs of blacked up balclavad armed individuals, who are trying to train in military tactics, running around attacking people, police, or causing damage.

Jesus Christ you're dense. No that's not my claim you fuckwit. Learn to read. Are you doing it intentionally or is your comprehension really that bad?

Let me spell it out for you so clearly even you can understand. The Trump admin have called Antifa domestic terrorists. Afterwards THEY (not me) have claimed that anyone who holds pro trans views, anti police or pro immigration are Antifa sympathisers and therefore domestic terrorism sympathisers who can be prosecuted. Do you understand this yet? They are saying people who hold views opposed to the administration can be deemed domestic terrorists. And you laugh at that.

The point isn't that Antifa have been branded terrorists, it's that views that clearly are nothing to do with terrorism are now been be branded as views held by Antifa and therefore terrorist views. It's the Trump administration making the link to Antifa, not me. Given you seemed to find it hilarious and ridiculous when you thought I was making the link, no doubt you should find it equally as ridiculous that the Trump admin is making that link right?

Or are you going to laugh off the administration openly stating it's going to treat opposing views as terrorism that it can prosecute?

Ragey is pretty much a classical liberal guy and a good sort. He’s not a Young Turks guy at all. In fact I think he’s said he doesn’t understand how Cenk Ugyr is even popular.

Hes literally just paroted TYT talking points regarding Antifa. I wouldnt class anyone on here as classically liberal, there are too many arguments against free speach, limited government, individual liberty or rule of law. I would put myself in alignment with the key tenets of classic liberalism.
Regarding good sort, the constant barage of insults would detract from that argument, infact, i think hes contracted a case of DHDS hahahaha

The more you make the argument lacking any evidence whatsoever, the less sense it makes...

So your not saying Antifa are deemed domestic terrorist because of their pro trans and pro immigration position, but anyone with those positions are deemed Antifa supporters and can be deemed domestic terrorists?

Do you understand how deluded that is?

Lets get specific, do you believe Antifa should be deemed domestic terrorists? Are you pro this current US Antifa movement?
