The alarming mental decline of Donald J. Trump -- watch this space
dinsdale replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump is trying to stop Putin moving toward the CCP. Do you have a problem with this or would you like to see a closer partnership between Putin and Xi? -

Biden was POTUS by title only for most of the four years. Everyone knows this. -

A) How is he sucking up to Russia? B) By saying "enemy dictatorships" you must include China and slapping a 145% tariff rate on them isn't exactly what I'd call "sucking up". Your comment is simply a typical anti-Trump purely emotional one without any rational thought process. -

Just another daily thread from an anti-Trumper. Talk about mental decline. Why? Why everyday? Do you get some bizarre dopamine hit for these ridiculous threads. It's just pitiful. Grow up.- 270 replies

Once again this conflation of people who support making America great again and the far right. Fact of the matter is a large proportion of the moderate left voted for Trump because of his populist centrist policies. As for the Grok response I would love to see the veracity of that. Easily fabricated. It is also possible to argue with AI in such a way that eventually you'll get the answer you want.

Kamala Harris Faces Uncertain Path to 2028 as Democrats Weigh Future

Too early to know what's going to happen and conversely too early to be critising. Only been just over 100 days. -
Kamala Harris Faces Uncertain Path to 2028 as Democrats Weigh Future
dinsdale replied to Social Media's topic in World News
And there it is in a nutshell. Race baiting from the left. What has colour and gender have to do with it? If Harris wasn't an idiot and the Dems hadn't abandoned most of their base to go to the radical, progressive left, then there was a chance a woman of colour might have been POTUS. -

Let her run. Not sure I could stand more of the cackling idiocy but it would be a guaranteed win for whoever the Republican's run with. -
Analysis Thaksin Faces Jail as Court Probes Legality of Hospital Stay
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
might should face imprisonment if authorities can't justify his health-based transfer to a hospital. Result will go something like, there's not enough evidence to prove "lack of justification" and his medical info can't be released. -
Deflection. Address the rest of the points: Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology characterized by ultranationalism, centralized control, suppression of dissent, and the curtailment of individual freedoms. It emphasizes a strong, charismatic leader, aggressive militarism, and the prioritization of the nation or state over personal rights. Historically, it rejects democracy and promotes a totalitarian system, often accompanied by propaganda, censorship, and the exclusion or persecution of perceived enemies or minorities. Key features include: Authoritarianism: Power concentrated in a single leader or party. Nationalism: Exaltation of the nation, often tied to ethnic or cultural superiority. Militarism: Glorification of military strength and aggressive expansion. Suppression: Elimination of opposition, free speech, and independent institutions. Economic Control: State-directed economy, often corporatist, prioritizing national goals. As for your link, this is a House Committee finding from 2022 as reported in PBS which of course has left wing bias. Personally I thought the Jan 6 thing was deplorable, I also think many of the jail terms were insane and I'm not convinced there wasn't any shenanigans with that election but that's in the past. It's the present that folks like you continue to say Trump is a dictator and a fascist and I'm giving you a chance to explain why this is the case. For instance has he eliminated free speech? Does he believe in a state controlled economy? What about elimination of independent institutions? Dictatorship and fascism are specific political terms with defined meanings.

Sorry but we are talking now. What is he doing now that makes him a dictator and fascist terms so often used and used erroneously. I laid out several points of definition and you have attempted to answer one. You say I've departed from reality then address all the points to show why this is the case and in your mind and that of others with the syndrome you are correct in saying Trump is a dictator and fascist by definition.

Beijing Considers Fentanyl Concessions to Ease U.S. Trade Tensions
dinsdale replied to Social Media's topic in World News
So the CCP is "thinking about" what to do about the worst drug on earth that comes from China. Criminals. They export it just like they exported Covid. -
Point by point explain how these can be attributed to Trump.. A dictator uses force and fear to keep themself, their friends, and their allies in authority. Explain. They can effectively make laws all by themself. Explain. Power concentrated in a single leader or party. Explain. Exaltation of the nation, often tied to ethnic or cultural superiority. Sure trump's a nationalist but ethnic or cultural superiority? Explain. Glorification of military strength and aggressive expansion. Military strength sure but it's not being glorified and there's no aggressive expansionism. Explain. Elimination of opposition, free speech, and independent institutions. Explain. State-directed economy, often corporatist, prioritizing national goals. Yes this is the case to a degree. My guess is you cannot explain how the above definitions can be attributed to Trump. You're comment in response will simply be another puerile deflection. Edit: Or a thumbs down or laughing emoji because you know you cannot attribute the above to Trump and your comment "Examples: Trump" is just another of your simpleton responses.

Again someone who doesn't know the meaning of dictator and fascist. The word dictator or despot in modern times is used to describe an absolute ruler of a country (other than a king). A dictator uses force and fear to keep themself, their friends, and their allies in authority. They can effectively make laws all by themself. A country that is ruled by a dictator is called a dictatorship. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictator Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology characterized by ultranationalism, centralized control, suppression of dissent, and the curtailment of individual freedoms. It emphasizes a strong, charismatic leader, aggressive militarism, and the prioritization of the nation or state over personal rights. Historically, it rejects democracy and promotes a totalitarian system, often accompanied by propaganda, censorship, and the exclusion or persecution of perceived enemies or minorities. Key features include: Authoritarianism: Power concentrated in a single leader or party. Nationalism: Exaltation of the nation, often tied to ethnic or cultural superiority. Militarism: Glorification of military strength and aggressive expansion. Suppression: Elimination of opposition, free speech, and independent institutions. Economic Control: State-directed economy, often corporatist, prioritizing national goals. Examples include Mussolini’s Italy (1922–1943) and Nazi Germany (1933–1945). The term is sometimes misused in modern discourse, so context matters when analyzing its application. https://grok.com/?q=define+fascism

A complete and utter loss of the ability to process things rationally. No matter what it is if a negative can be construed be it fact or fiction then it's Trump's fault. Add to this the inability to challenge the MSM message and believe 100% everything pushed by said MSM just adds fuel the irrationality fire.

Where? Please name the "right" wing media organisations. Surely you mean "left" Nevertheless I'd be interested in how Trump has affected Australia's foreign policy and as for the Tariffs all sides of politics has said there will be very little impact.

Sure. Outsmarted by Zelensky. Outsmarted by Putin. What you fail to admit is Trump can pull the plug on Zelensky. This is also just the 1st installment of money for defence related equipment through DCS. Zelensky buy these systems commercially through the US with rare earth mineral guarantees as part of the deal. Can you explain how Zelensky has "outsmarted" Trump with this.
