Trump's style is to tell the truth with straightforward brutality and without any P.C, sugar coating.
The loony left have kicked against having to listen to the stark reality of their failed policies and how their supporters are no more than parasites leeching on the economy and stifling innovative entrepreneurial enterprise.
They've all had a severe jolt back into the world of stark reality after years of being pampered and caressed with Obama's fanciful notions of an impossible, 'end of the rainbow' socialist utopia.
DEAR FOOLS, SUCH A PARADISE IS AN ILLUSION FED TO YOU BY DELUSIONISTS.
WAKE UP AND SMELL WHAT IT IS THEY'RE SHOVELLING.
On the international front the U.S, is at the top of the tree and this attracts bitter hostility from the 'snapping hyenas' of the world's resentful despots.
President Trump has confronted and stemmed the runaway expansionism of Russia and China and put such filth as Kim Jong-Un on notice that prodding a tiger can have 'undesirable' consequences and the days of 'free penalty kicks' at America are over.
Kick and you'll be kicked back to the power of 10.
Even though Trump's 'no nonsense, 'give the facts as they really are'' may have polarized certain sections of the community, they are nonetheless, ''THE FACTS'.
You refer to black people as bongos, don't you?? You talk about their big fat lips, don't you??? You DO!!! I've SEEN your words. Oh, I know - you pretended your racism was just a joke.. I dunno WHY.. The Nazis who went to Charlottsville yesterday weren't ashamed of their hatred.. Why are you???
So, a fact to a racist ISN'T a fact.. It's RACISM..
You really didn't expect me to stay quiet, did you??? Be advised.. I will NEVER, EVER stand silent in the face of hatred, and I KNOW who you are.
You're full of self pity and a lost soul wandering around looking for something or someone to accuse of fitting your perception of racism.
I hold most bongos in contempt for their inherent laziness, predisposition to violent crime and, in their natural state,( i.e, Bongoland) inability to organise themselves into cohesive societies with effective ''NON RACIST', government.
Expressing self evident truths doesn't make me a racist, it only illustrates me as a realist who is aware that a hierarchy exists in the real world in which the Bongo is ill equipped to compete successfully with the white man.
Trying to shoot the messenger is for underage romantic schoolgirls, a category into which you fit very well.
Welcome to Trumps "Great America"! Riots, protests, marches, threats of war, insults to our allies, sabre rattling, sword dances with those who brought the Twin Towers down, polluted rivers, an overjoyed 1%, calls for help from "OUR GOVERNMENT" ... and the "help" comes in the form of white supremacists and the KKK! All hail President of VICE Bannon! HE is going to make America .... what he wants .......!
How can Trump supporters sleep at night!
Matthew was right, our love ... slim as it was, is growing cold ... for TRUMP!
And almost all of these protests and marches are by the far left. This is Obama's America, and Conservatives have become its biggest victim.
Threats of war? Obama, Bush, and Hillary herself made them all the time. Apparently you can say what you want if you are black, a liberal disguised as an elephant or a woman.
Obama attacked nations unprovoked, started coups all the time, and tried to affect foreign elections. Trump is still yet to do it once. Amazingly, based on acts, Trump is yet to do anything Fascist or even resist his opposition with force. It's amazing how what you actually do is not how the left defines you. They define you based on your label, and if it isn't Democrat, they show you exactly what real Fascism looks like.
Threats of war? Obama, Bush, and Hillary herself made them all the time. Apparently you can say what you want if you are black, a liberal disguised as an elephant or a woman.
Hold on. George "blow up the world" Bush was a liberal?
Not nuclear war, not war with people in this hemisphere. The "war" in Libya? THAT was an operation started by NATO, we "assisted them" in the air, which is what we are required by treaty to do. Obama "threatened", he assisted Iraqi forces and Afghan forces in THEIR war.
Okay. Tell us about Obama and Libya, Obama and Egypt, Egypt and Turkey's claims that he was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and his attempt to turn the election of Netanyahu inIsrael.
What was the Israelis? The sword dance? No that was the Saudis, the ones who brought the Towers down. And, yes. Trump "was pretty pally with them" ... offered our "friends" a real good deal on the F-35's they bought ... a country with more money (and terrorists), per capita than most others.
No that was the Saudis, the ones who brought the Towers down.
That was the Israelis. The same Israelis responsible for the attack on the USS Liberty and for Operation Susannah.
THERE was ruin and terror in Manhattan, but, over the Hudson River in New Jersey, a handful of men were dancing.
As the World Trade Centre burned and crumpled, the five men celebrated and filmed the worst atrocity ever committed on American soil as it played out before their eyes.
Who do you think they were? Palestinians? Saudis? Iraqis, even? Al-Qaeda, surely? Wrong on all counts. They were Israelis - and at least two of them were Israeli intelligence agents, working for Mossad, the equivalent of MI6 or the CIA.
They were arrested and spent several months in federal detention, until one day Michael Chertoff appeared and deported them all back to Israel. During the time of their incarceration they first refused and then later failed lie detector tests, their van and clothes were found to contain explosives residue, the company they worked for was identified as an intelligence front, and it was discovered other Israeli members working for the same company had visited the crash site of Flight 93 on the morning of 9/11 -- before Flight 93 had crashed.
I have links to the police and FBI reports if you'd like them.
Jeez, I never heard that one, must've been kept under cover by the earlier Congressional committees until it could be brought out under a Republican President?
Story I heard was: 18 of the 20 terrorists were Saudi's. Not likely the Mossad would connive with THEM. I guess that was "fake news"?? I haven't heard that denied, except by well known "conspiracy theorists", but then, I only watch FAUX News once in a while to keep up with alternative facts.
Jeez, I never heard that one, must've been kept under cover by the earlier Congressional committees until it could be brought out under a Republican President?
ABC News ran a story on it, and The Scottish Herald that I linked. But other than that, you're right. The American media didn't cover it at all.
Story I heard was: 18 of the 20 terrorists were Saudi's.
Nobody knows who they were because they weren't using their real identities. This emerged almost immediately after the attacks, but American media didn't cover that, either.
THEIR names were flashed around the world as suicide hijackers who carried out the attacks on America. But yesterday four innocent men told how their identities had been stolen.
The Saudi Airlines pilot, Saeed Al-Ghamdi, 25, and Abdulaziz Al-Omari, an engineer from Riyadh, are furious that the hijackers' "personal details" - including name, place, date of birth and occupation - matched their own.
Think about it. If nobody knew who these people were before the attacks, how would the Bush Administration suddenly have a complete list of everybody who was involved days after they happened? Especially when the head of the FBI publicly stated that they left no paper trail?
False flag attacks don't actually get any more obvious than 9/11.
Hmmmm. Can't find anything on this David Harrison who wrote the article. A basketball player, a doctor a convict and a couple deceased Davids. Since the article seems to be not too nice to Mr. Mueller, I will still have doubts. It didn't say much for the Bush administration either. I saw nothing about the Israelis in it. If they WERE involved maybe that justifies Obama's reluctance to cooperate too fully with the "yahoo" that runs the place ... if he needed any justification!
Some of the news stories run have been conspiratory theories, just showing another side of things. I can't believe Congressional investigations couldn't find, or would keep quiet about this, if true. I'll stick with the more obvious story until I hear better. I wouldn't put it past a bunch of Saudi's to "lend their identities" to their terrorist friends for later use to cover or confuse their REAL identities.
Since the article seems to be not too nice to Mr. Mueller, I will still have doubts.
Honestly brother, you really should be doubting the stinking pile of laughable horse shit you were asked to believe in the first place.

Yes, it's true they didn't get along. Netanyahu is a sociopath, plain and simple. Obama was in an impossible position with 9/11. I'm fairly sure he knows it was a false flag attack, but consider the implications if he had gone public. His presidency would be finished. The Republicans would have denied it so it would have either led to a civil war or to his impeachment. Even if he had proof then there would still probably be some sort of armed revolution. I don't think the American political system could have survived the revelation because it isn't just about 9/11 any more. Everything the US government has done in the 16 years afterwards has been justified by 9/11.

It's very difficult for me to persuade you to leave the bubble of pseudo-reality which has been conjured up for you because you have been brainwashed and don't realise it. I don't mean that to be insulting but it's just the reality of the situation. What the US government asked people to believe happened on 9/11 is a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy theory by every possible definition of the phrase. Furthermore, it is demonstrably false. It didn't happen. Explain to me then, why most people in America think everybody who disputes the conspiracy theory which your government offered, is a conspiracy theorist? You have things literally backwards.
Maybe. I have trouble thinking that any group of Israelis, especially the Massad, would want to attack America when they KNOW how much they need U.S.. If it came out the Congress would certainly shut them down on military help. No, I often agree with you but I can't here. I'll keep an open mind though, and, confidence in my government ... to a point. I've lived through too much to be easily brainwashed, WW2, Korea, the Cold War, Bay of Pigs, Viet Nam, 13+ Presidents. I'll keep my faith in America ... if Trump doesn't destroy it.
Not more of your 9/11 bullshit do you ever give it a rest ?
Everyone of your ridiculous claims has been de-bunked and yet you persist ; you need professional help obviously you're mentally unstable .
Here we go with the ' celebrating Israelis ' nonsense again this just shows how far gone you are and mentally unstable you are ......
The real story about the ' celebrations ' ..... from the Slate .....
In the tense days following the attack, there were a number of false reports of Muslims celebrating. In one case, reported by the Asbury Park Press, a group of Pakistani gas station attendants sharing birthday cake given to them by their Jewish boss on the morning of the attacks—unaware that the attacks had taken place— set off a panic in the town that included calls to local radio stations. A similar debunked story about a Budweiser employee pulling the company’s products from a gas station because he saw Arab employees celebrating was a popular e-mail forward at the time.
One strange cousin of the “celebrating Arabs” meme was the strange tale of the “dancing Israelis.” During the attack, a New Jersey homemaker with a view of the twin towers called the police and the FBI after spotting a group of men who appeared to be filming the attack and exhibiting “puzzling behavior.” "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me,” the unnamed witness later recalled. The men were Israeli employees of a Jersey-based moving company and accounts at the time stated they had been on the roof of their company’s building, though it was later reported they were on the roof of their van. Either way, five Israeli men were later arrested and interrogated for several days before being deported back to Israel. As ABC reported the following year, the men were investigated by U.S. authorities for connections to Israeli intelligence, but nothing was ever proven. (The lack of evidence hasn’t stopped the “dancing Israelis” from being a fixture of 9/11 conspiracy theories, particularly anti-Semitic ones, ever since.) The men later denied they had been celebrating, claiming they were just filming in order to document the event.
All major terrorist attacks, including the recent one in Paris, are accompanied by a great deal of unsubstantiated rumor and false information. That was even more the case for 9/11 thanks to both its size and how relatively little public attention had been focused on the al-Qaida threat before it happened. It was a confusing couple of days and a lot of mysteries still remain, but we can be confident in saying that Trump did not personally witness thousands of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey or anywhere else in America.
I am not at all Trump's fan. We simply don't have the same political position. I don't know if he is racist or sexist or facist. Honestly, I don't have enough information to judge. I wasn't happy when he got elected but if there is anything Trump did is awake the hatred that has been strewing in our hearts for years. He didn't create it. He poked us in way that finally we are exteriorating it. It's about time we face these issues instead of lying to ourselves and the world that we welcome all people. We don't. Not anymore.
Trump showed us, liberals and conservative, to stop with the bullshit and say what you really think. I don't believe a president should do the same but I do believe that a population should. It is only by expressing yourself with other that problems and issues can be solved.
I say it's about time the punches let loose. Our country needs it.
it's about time we face these issues instead of lying to ourselves and the world that we welcome all people
Should we welcome people who are commanded by the Quran to kill all non-Muslims and wage jihad on the "unbelievers"? And what would be the logic in doing so? Are we obligated to welcome aliens from the Omega Pan galaxy, who are hovering their mother ship over Earth with the phasers pointed at us, or would it be best that we blew them out of the sky if able.
We, the West, haven't had any major problems with Asians, Hindus, South Africans, Etc and integrating them nicely into our nations. We've only had major problems with people from the Middle East and the religion of death and oppression. It's not our fault their religion demands war with us. It's theirs. The Quran and Prophet Muhammad screwed it up and made peace with them impossible, not us.
Should we welcome people who are commanded by the Quran to kill all non-Muslims
You don't seem to have a problem with people commanded by the Bible to kill all non-Christians.
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death.(Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
How can anybody be expected to take militant Christians seriously when they are such burning hypocrites?
Nooo. Why would you let in a man who says he wants to kill you ?
And as for aliens, you don't know what their intentions are, so yeah welcome them.
But I see where you are getting at. What I mean is that Americans don't welcome Americans. We are a people of different backgrounds, religions, and cultures. We pretend to be open to the world but we aren't even tolerant towards each other. That is more of the point I wanted to make. I know that we have a problem with Muslims from the Middle East but the problem is deeper than that. We have problems with Muslims in general. They can be American and it doesn't matter. The US has serious internal issues that are reflected strongly in their actions internationally. We act internationally in the name of liberty and democracy but Because of the intolerance between us, it makes us look like hypocrites.
This has been a VERY long problem. We've just come to realize it. I really think that until our issues are solved we can't properly fight international issues. But I'm going off subject.
Should we welcome people who are commanded by the Quran to kill all non-Muslims and wage jihad on the "unbelievers"?
Firstly, Bronto, sign into your main account.
Secondly, Bronto, have you ever wondered why 99.99999% of Muslims are not terrorists? Could it be that there is something wrong in your interpretation or significance of a book you have never even read?
UNSPOKEN????.. Well, let me rectify that.. Right wingers, alt right Nazi's, and white supremacists, are DESTROYING my beloved country. They need to be PUT DOWN..
The fact that you seem to view right wingers in general as comparable to "alt right Nazis and white supremacists" deeply saddens me. This is compounded by the statement "They need to be PUT DOWN." which appears to condone, if not incite, violence against ~50% of the voting public. I really thought you were a pleasant and reasonable person when I joined this site, please don't go down this road.
I'm sad that you're sad. It's a saddening time.. Do I think it will rectify itself on its own? I do not. I don't think that makes me unreasonable OR unpleasant.
Of course, I have gone to war to defend my values before.. Nothing has changed..
You're grouping vastly different people: right wingers in general and white supremacists together. This is exactly what the left complains about when being grouped in with violent thugs like ANTIFA. Both instances of generalization are wrong and promotion of these views will lead to further violence. Violence has no place in the political process of a democratic republic. If you truly think that we should return to the times when differences in perspective were resolved through bloodshed, I suggest you read history.
Yes, I AM grouping vastly different groups.. But, we're talking about civil war here, and those times call for you to make a CHOICE.. Are you gonna join the LEFT wing side, or the RIGHT..
You're a reasonable and pleasant person like me.. But, IF that war started, I think you'd pick the right wing side..
UNSPOKEN????.. Well, let me rectify that.. Right wingers, alt right Nazi's, and white supremacists, are DESTROYING my beloved country. They need to be PUT DOWN..
You seem seduced by the very sort of rhetoric that inspires people to designate overly large groups of people as "the enemy". You have seemingly at least, become part of the problem.
The fact that you seem to view right wingers in general as comparable to "alt right Nazis and white supremacists" deeply saddens me.
Given that the debate is about the right wing in the United States, not "right wingers in general" then the comparison is completely valid. The centre of the US political system has been pushed so far right that we are talking about the right wing OF the right wing.
As you noted, the right wing is splintered into a right wing, a righter wing, and an even righter wing than that.. The left has splintered as well.. But, whatever we choose to call these disparate groups, the line between them is quite bright.
So, I have no problem identifying the divide, and lumping everybody into one camp or the other.. Is that FAIR? No. Is it REAL? Yes.
Really, Quora as a source? The answers didn't even help your argument. Why not an objective study on the right and left wing positions held by each party?
In any case, so what if the U.S. even is relatively right wing? The right wing in the U.S. certainly doesn't mostly consist of Nazis and white supremacists. If it did, I'd wonder why Ben Shapiro, a Jew, is so popular with the right in the U.S.
The Republican Party has actually pushed more to the left. In 1980, gay marriage and taking down Christian monuments from state buildings would have never gotten through.
There are about 1,000 people in these groups nationwide. BLM and, ANTIFA, and the U.S. version of the Muslim Brotherhood on the other hand, have enough members to be of a real threat, and are a real threat. There are more ANTIFA and BLM members in Chicago alone than KKK members nationwide.
Oh please. The fighting and killing, as well as the organization of the two sides of the alleged civil war, would need to be ramped up 100 fold to reach a point where it could be called a civil war. Plus the "unspoken" part is bogus. There is a hell of a lot of speaking going on on sociopolitical issues. The only people who could come across as not speaking about it are the dinosaurs who never got on the internet.
