Yep I know. But that's the message that the right are trying to get over, sometimes subtle and sometimes very blunt but that's basically the seed they're trying to plant. It's all rubbish of course but I'm sure someone will be along in a minute who believes this guff and has a couple of YouTube videos that will convince us.Quote:

Apparently it's a 'well known fact' that the refugees would rape them and steal their children.

Have a look at last Friday night's Unreported World on Channel 4 for some "interesting" viewpoints from some of Trumps more extreme female supporters .
History repeating.........

I see Steve Bannon has now been arrested for fraud. The minute Trump loses his pardon power they are all going to turn on him badly. If he doesn’t win in November I can’t see him staying out of jail.

Money on that. Except, except, except....it's probably cleaner for the US to pardon him on the basis that he goes quietly away - Nixon style. The problem though is that Trump is undoutedly incapable of that - he is literally his own worst enemy.Quote:

Sadly swept under the carpet by Trumps lackeys. One legal analyst (and 30 year career prosecutor in the US) predicts this could be revisited if Trump leaves the WH in January. That will depend on how much pardon power Trump has before he leaves, if he knows those close to him are in legal jeopardy once/if he’s out of office can he pardon them in advance?

Pretty desperate article in The Guardian on Donald Trump today (has The Guardian 'jumped the shark'?)
"Trump confirms Stormy Daniels claim that he's terrified of sharks"
By all means, point out his many failings but this is just coming over as obsessive hatred, similar to their policy that every single article that mentions Corbyn must contain the words 'anti-semitism'
To be fair, at the time she did claim, rather bizarrely, that he was afraid of sharks.Quote:

:dunno:
It may be to do with his speech when he spoke in the same breath about pillaging the Middle East and his dislike of sharks. Think it was pretty clear that he was more concerned about the sharks. Bit of a perspective bypass perhaps? :dunno:Quote:

Then the classic denial of being a conspiracist because it’s what she believes and it’s her views. The absolute definition of someone who believes conspiracies is someone who denies the large body of evidence available due to putting their own personal observations and beliefs in front of everything!

Although President Obama set a record for the most commutations in history, his total of 212 pardons was well below that of many of his predecessors. Bill Clinton issued 396 pardons, Ronald Reagan 393, and the all-time record goes to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who issued 2,819 pardons during his 12 years (not 16) in office. George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were the only presidents of the modern era who issued fewer pardons than Barack Obama.
