unbelievably, people will see what he's saying now and believe it, anyone spouting anything else will be classed as 'fake news', Trump's an expert at it, and unbelievably it seems to continually work

Michael Reinhoel who was wanted for the shooting in Portland has been killed by law enforcement while attempting his arrest.
Trump on Michael Reinhoel 12 hours ago "Why aren't the Portland police ARRESTING the cold-blooded killer of Aaron 'Jay' Danielson. Do your job and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is. No wonder Portland is going to hell!"
A quite different tone to his views on Kyle Rittenhouse
2 hours later he was dead, he gave an interview to vice jus hours before his attempted arrest as well.
I can’t speculate to his failed arrest/possible execution as it appears he was involved in an armed standoff but One of the most striking differences between him and Rittenhouse is that no one on the left was hailing him as a hero for killing someone on the street in Portland

An attack on the military and the press all at once.

While I don’t doubt Trump in all probability did say those things, it fits perfectly with his vernacular, it simply can’t be proven that he did.
From what I’ve read it’s reported he did by three people that, on the face of it, would seem reasonably reliable witnesses but he’s not on record uttering those statements.
He did call McCain a loser though but I think he’s now trying to claim that he called him a loser because he lost rather than a loser per se. Or maybe he’s just flat out denying what really can’t be denied just because he can and that’s what he does!
Fwiw he right about the soup cans along with cans of juice and tins of food.... they have also been freezing bottled water and throwing them..... the bricks are too heavy to get a decent throw but cans arent and if they get searched it's food for the house.
There's another article on the mail saying a trump supporter mowed down a group of blm protesters.. then in the main story calls it an unidentified vehicle..... so if its unidentified then how the bloody hell do they know the drivers a trump supporter
Fox News now confirming that the story is true.

How is it possible to identify the driver's political persuasion, yet not be able to give a description of the vehicle? If a car is about to plow into you, surely the first piece of information you'd give law enforcement would be the make, model and color of the car?
When you have a president who is a hateful anti-BLM racist, and a driver who is a violent hateful anti BLM racist, it’s doesn’t take Columbo to work that one out.
Frankly, even in the remote possibility he isn’t, why would you challenge it..it’s hardly the real root issue

You keep defending, or trying to defend, the indefensible. Why?
Actually, I know the answer. It's because there's nothing defensible to defend.
FYI - NBC quotes police sources as saying the driver was 'was found to be a part of the Keep America Great rally' and that the group had 'exchanged heated words' with the BLM supporters.
Some beauties on here. I wonder how many members are actually the same person. .. trump and his closest people are vehemently denying this yet hibs.net posters have it all sussed. What's the point in a justice system ...they should just log on here and speak to you lot. Absolute jokers
is it not a bit coincidental that all this comes out right before an election ?
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. We'll probably never know for sure. But Trump and his spokespeople, advisors etc denying it is surely not enough for you to dismiss as false? Given everything he's said about John McCain it would fit pretty well with Trumps world view.
The claims about Trump calling the war dead 'losers' would have more weight if they weren't anonymous.
I'm in no way saying that he didn't say it, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable taking something as serious as this at face value, with no evidence and no one willing to come out publicly and say they heard him say it.
There's enough stupid things that he definitely did say that we can judge him on already.
The only reports I've seen so far have been attributed to 'anonymous' sources.
If they've been reported differently anywhere, I must have missed it but would be happy to be provided with a source, or the names of the people (not a dig at anyone, i promise :-) )
As I've already written, while these sources remain anonymous or no evidence is provided to prove it, I'm going to go with the 'innocent until proven guilty' approach.
This is all too similar to the 'Jeremy Corbyn Is An Anti-Semite' stuff we've witnessed in the media for months, and I found that very disturbing.
The Guardian, for instance, seem to have an editorial policy of including the phrase 'anti-semitism' in every single article that mentions Corbyn's name and were determined to smear him at every opportunity.
And just for removal of any doubt, I have no fondness whatsoever for Trump or Corbyn.

Being anti racist is apparently anti American.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...box=1599295117
First off, they made a damn good effort to annihilate the Native American population.
They then claimed to be a country open to everyone looking for a new life... until the Irish, Jews or anyone else that didn't meet the criteria arrived on their shores.
Then large swathes of the country tried to ensure that public transportation, workplaces, restaurants, sports clubs... even the military... kept the inferior Black people well away from the obviously superior Whites.
They've since built up amazing scare stories about Mexicans and others of a Hispanic background, and have recently added Muslims as the 'bogey man'
Let's face it, extreme prejudice is what made America great!

Even though they are still trying to claim he never said it they are at the same time making excuses for why he did say it.[emoji23]

The odd thing about Trump is that the more outrageous he becomes the more some of his supporters or those who seek to defend him rally round him and buy into the ridiculous notion that he is a perpetual victim.
Leaving aside the potential illegal acts he has committed there are numerous incidents, that could be called faux pas if we were being kind, that would have finished him politically in normal times:
1. The whole pussy grabbing episode and the 'locker room' explanation in lieu of an apology.
2. Mocking the military career of an elder statesman within his own party.
3. Mocking a disabled reporter and openly impersonating him in a pejorative manner during a speech.
4.Politicising a traditionally apolitical speech to a group of scouts and using it to massage his own ego.
5. Sacking Rex Tillerson on Twitter.
6. Sharing multiple videos from Britain First on Twitter.
7. The entirety of longest government shutdown in US history.
8. Being a major exponent of the birther conspiracy.
9. His treatment of Khizr and Ghazala Khan.
10. Referencing Pocahontas when talking about Elizabeth Warren.
10 points will probably do for now. Even for those well to the right on the political spectrum, who may be willing to dismiss being offended about mocking women, Muslims and disabled people as the preserve of 'snowflakes' I question how they can see Trump as a man who embodies traditional conservative values. His wilful abuse of the Christian faith for his own ends, his attitude towards NATO, his veneration of dictators, his lack of formality and sense of duty, his dismissive and hostile attitude to traditional US allies and his disdain for the constitution are all completely at odds with that ideology. I question how anyone who calls themselves a Christian, a conservative or a patriot (all things many Americans hold dear) can support or vote for Trump in good conscience.
The last time I posted this Biden had a 92% chance (I think) of winning and now it's down to 83%.

I wonder what's causing the change in direction?
It’s a classic myth that Republican Presidents are better for the stock market....on average over the post war years it’s actually Democrats that have seen the largest gains.
Quite whether the two (Presidents and Market prices) are as connected as people seem to assume is a totally different matter of course
This place will go into meltdown when Trump wins again. 😂 #MAGA 🇺🇸
I know from talking to friends of the opposing ilk, that they feel Tories or Republicans come in and do the hard yards turning the economy round, then the electorate are tired with them and elect Labour or the Democrats who can turn on the spending tap.
Certainly in 1997, Labour inherited a recovery by Ken Clarke from the ERM car crash and played a blinder by pledging to stick to Tory spending plans. It negated the traditional Tory attack on Labour being profligate and also bought them four years of restrained public spending.
Once back in, in 2001, the spending taps opened, and boy, did they flow!
:top marks Outstanding post
it says something about the man and his many actions/comments, that I’d forgotten about some of these (drowned out by other extraordinary shenanigans). Several of these would, under previous (more civilised?) times, have seen him nowhere near the presidential nominations in the first place, held to account properly, or removed from the nomination for the next election. Not at the moment :rolleyes:
He's seen his pal Vlad license a vaccine. Trump defo going to go for it before the election!Quote:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Starting to get VERY high marks in our handling of the Coronavirus (China Virus), especially when compared to other countries and areas of the world. Now the Vaccines (Plus) are coming, and fast!
Does Trump actually think this is 'all about the numbers'?
Does he really consider over 170k Americans dying from Covid-19 mean they've handled it well?

Trump’s quotes in Bob Woodward’s new book Rage areinteresting if not surprising. What does seem surprising is that Trump hasalready characterised it as a “political hit job by rapidly fading Bob Woodward”,yet he supposedly gave 18 interviews for it. This despite similarly dismissivecomments on Woodward’s previous book Fear, in which he called the book “fiction”and dismissed Woodward as a liar.

'Ad spending doesn't equal victory. If it did, Hillary Clinton would be readying her final sprint for a second term. But 95% of the time (and maybe even higher), the candidate spending more on convincing voters to choose them wins.'
That's a depressing statistic right there.
