Popular Post Social Media Posted July 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2023 Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) called estimates of tens of thousands of people attending former President Trump’s campaign rallies “absurd.” Fox News’s Shannon Bream asked Christie on “Fox News Sunday” to weigh in on local authorities in South Carolina estimating that one of Trump’s recent rallies there had been attended by around 50,000 people, which Christie labeled “absurd.” He said that Trump’s rallies are meant to serve Trump, not the American people. “50,000 is absurd,” Christie told Bream. “But I am not going to get in an argument about that. Here’s why he doesn’t care about the American people. He droned on for an hour and a half yesterday in Iowa.” “He lied about the farm deal with the Chinese,” Christie continued. “They haven’t even complied with a quarter of what they agreed to Donald Trump to do in terms of buying soybeans and other things from the farmers in Iowa. And he spent the rest of the time talking about his own indictment. This is not somebody who’s fighting for the American people and their future. This is all about his ego.” FULL STORY 15 4 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andycoops Posted July 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2023 You have to remember this was the guy who said he had the biggest inauguration rally ever, which was shown to be utter excrement when the real picture was shown comparing the Orange Blobs with Obama. The guy is a complete liar and conman, I also note he doesn't tell anyone anymore about how rich he is ???????????? 11 2 1 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former guy is in a whole species unto himself. I'm not even sure if it's a subset of human. All politicians stretch the truth, but 45 is a blatant, pathological liar. Every one of his attorneys who has ever been asked if 45 should take the stand to testify about ANYTHING has vehemently shaken his/her head and said 45 wouldn't know the truth if it fell out of the sky, landed on his face, and started to wiggle.

Ah the old "they're all the same" defence which is being rolled out by the dwindling number of Tory apologists as they see, one by one, their flag waving patriots drummed out of Parliament for sleaze, lying, cronyism, bullying and assault. No. They (cross party MPs in UK anyway) are different. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlinclaifornia Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I love that Republicans are going to lose with a candidate that has no chance of winning. They have this man who is capable of leadership but won't use that to turn themselves into a sure win.

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted July 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2023 2 hours ago, BritManToo said: Name a politician that's different? I didn't write this, but as a Brit man too I agree with every word: Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response: "A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: * Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. * You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of <deleted>. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created? If being a <deleted> was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set." 2 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not about Biden, is it? Jeez. Reminds me of the old Republican mantra of a few years ago: ‘but, but, but, Hillary’. This is about Trump and his tendency to hugely exaggerate everything that he does, sees or owns, as long as the exaggeration is in his favor. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
