USA news & politics

[ChicagoKid]

Most people think Trump is awful, not America. Trump is objectively an awful human being.

Cool. That wasn’t my point.

Italy hasn’t had a good leader in decades. Doesn’t stop millions of Americans visiting every single year.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some of it felt like corporate staged campaigns or some psy-op from the CIA.

A lot of them were pretty clearly gaming social media for ad revenue

"Oh wow look at this RAISING CAINES™ I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE, MY FIRST TIME EATING FRIED CHICKEN IN MY LIFE" - 11m impressions, 500k likes, 10,000 people gushing in the replies telling them to visit their state

and then you scroll back through their social media and they're eating it on a Disney trip the previous summer and it turns out they're a travel/food blogger not some random football fan like they're pretending for the summer

At least you accept Trump is an awful human being. America is still a great place, though. Minus the guns, fentanyl and meth. Oh, and Christian nationalism.

We finally agree on something. I’m not on social media, but the compilations I saw on YouTube looked fake as hell.

lol. Your TDS has hit another level lately.

Im like @dirty harry I don’t think really any politician is a good person. I stopped believing that around the same time I stopped believing in Santa Claus.

 

[ChicagoKid]

Yo @dirty harry if I wore a Make WRU Great Again hat for a Wales game, would I be cheered or jeered?

Yes, they’re all the same aren’t they. I used to think that when I was 16.

Bit of both tbh, some would take it in the spirit, but there would be some middle class luvvies upset...

Youll have a cracking evening on St Mary street in the bars definately, I wonder if Feran Torres took any **** for hos 'make spain great again' hat

I brought a few MAGA caps back last time i was in NYC recently, and I give them for presents, especially to some work colleagues... so.e have a riot with them, one woman sent me a video of her burning it, shes a bit.... radical and gets less invites to the pub than most

Mate can you read? Saying politicians arent good, and saying they are all the same is a gross.... oh thats why you keep doing it.

But that’s my point isn’t it. It’s about levels. Are all politicians “good”? Of course not. Human beings are flawed. Do most politicians stage coups to try and overturn election results? Do most say they grab women by the pussy? Have most engaged in the type of rhetoric he has about political opponents and the media? Have most been found liable for sexual abuse? Etc etc

It’s difficult with your spelling.

So which is your gold standard?

Loads of politicians have done far worse than Trump, some are pro what Trimp has done, and loads would be far worse given the chance, if we could have a gold standard, your favourite we have a yard stick to measure him by.

Making the claim politicians are generally bad and untrustworthy, isnt the same as you making fake claim that that means they are all the same, thats just a lie to win an argument that hasnt been made isnt it?

Let’s start with Jan 6th. Any equivalent you can point to?

Dude. We’ve moved on. Even the democrats moved on. It’s almost 7 years ago. It was much ado about nothing.

Move on. Everyone here has.

What do you think about the 1906 Swansea Earthquake?

He’s asked me for my gold standard. I’m starting with my gold standard is to have politicians that don’t engage in plots to overturn legitimate election results.

I know you don’t care about democracy but some of us still do ya know.

The gold standard is Margaret Thatcher. It’s too bad she couldn’t completely fix the UK. But alas, she tried.

the current PMs can’t event get a winter fuel allowance decreased.

Agreed, I’d take Thatcher over Trump in a heartbeat.

So would I!

The point is that pretty much every western politician meets this gold standard.

I would take Trump over every single British PM since Thatcher. And it’s not close. You’ve had horrible leaders my entire life.

Well obviously, you admitted you don’t care about democracy. I’d take a chimpanzee with learning difficulties, which ironically is still more intelligent than Trump, over Trump. Coz, you know, I kinda like legitimate election results being upheld regardless of who wins them.

[Welsh Exile]

Yes because Florida in 2000 was the same as Jan 6th.

For the record, yes, I would 1 million % take Bush over Trump. Can’t believe I used to call that guy stupid. Again, levels.
