Notice of Explanation Regarding Acronyms

 

It has come to our attention that certain acronyms are being used in a manner that is both antagonising and inflammatory. It is important to recognise that the issue lies not in the acronyms themselves or the validity of what they stand for, but in the derogatory context in which they are most commonly employed.

 

For instance, the acronym "TDS," standing for "Trump Derangement Syndrome," is not a recognised medical condition but rather an urban phrase. It is frequently used as a means to belittle or mock individuals with differing political views. Such usage is inherently derogatory and contributes to a toxic conversational environment.

 

We urge all members to refrain from using acronyms and phrases in a manner intended to deride or insult others. Instead, let’s strive for respectful dialogue that fosters understanding and constructive discussion. Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Some immature troll posts and replies have been removed.

You failed to say if those changes would be for the better or for the worse. Yet, so many gave you likes for your comment which really meant nothing.. 

So far the Dems have pretty much changed everything since they got into the WH and there do not seem to be very many people in the US who liked those changes. Otherwise they would have voted to keep the Dems in control. 

 

I agree that the country needed change and it is quite obvious that the Democratic party is broken. The big question is Trump the change that we needed?

Is Trump the man that he says he is?

Is Trump the man that his supporters think he is?

Is Trump sincere about the well-being of the nation and its people?

Will Trump put the well-being of the nation above himself?

Will he destroy alliances and will he coddle dictators?

Will he golf less than 150 times a year on the nation's dime? 

 

All that remains to be seen.

Now perhaps it is you that should forget about being cornered at times and move on, eh.......

 

You've made bullet points but you haven't scored any point you're just another distant observer of the American political process. Your opinion is unnecessary and has been proven time and time again wrong by the forum and now by 70 million American voters.

I read Black Like Me years ago in my mid or late 20's.  

 

Yes, racism exists, among all ethnicities, not just among those that are identified as Caucasian.   Those that claim a particular ethnicity cannot be racist, are lying!

 

I have lived among racists.   Some were hard core racists, like the klan members in Louisiana, in my childhood.  Some were more subtle in their words, but still recognizable as racists.   As a child I learned what a racist is, by their words and deeds. 

 

There are those in the democrat party and their supporters,  that will call people who are descended from those that were brought to America from the African continent, uncle tom's, house n....., etc, when those blacks identify with being conservative.   

 

There are the blacks themselves that use that obscenity, n....., against those of any ethnicity.  They do it with malicious intent!

 

Offspring of black and Caucasian unions were in Louisiana when I was a child in the 1950's and 1960's.  Some with black fathers and some with black mothers.  It's not something that I have become aware of only recently.  Why would I find it interesting?

 

I have seen people that claim to be black and their skin has less melanin than my grandkids!!   

 

My mockery, as you call it, is based in truth.   Except for the Mini Mouse and Daisy Duck.   I through that in as a joke.   I have told it several times today.   I didn't write them in as pres. and v.p. when I voted. 

 

 

I was unaware you had extensive experience in the cultural and historical milieu.

 

It works in reverse in Australia, there are significant financial advantages for those claiming Aboriginal ancestry.

 

Thank you for responding courteously, which is more than I can say for some posters on this thread.

As I understand it, only the federal charges are actually being dropped, but it is not yet final. 

 

The NY $500M overstating the value of his property is in the process of being overturned on appeal, and will be. 

 

Fanni Willis will get removed from the GA case, and it likely gets dropped. 

 

E. Jean Carroll sex will likely stand, but defamation gets overturned. 

 

Trump will get sentenced this month for the bookkeeping, and that’s a crapshoot.

You are mostly correct, but the country would have just moved further left under Harris, and it might not under Trump.

Those charges are quickly being looked at and very well might be dropped by the end of the week. Merchan is in a very serious situation if he sentences Trump he very well might be looking at being disbarred. I think he's probably looking to declare a mistrial based on this that or the other thing.

 

Really don't read much news do you?

In other words, the fix is in because Trump won. Had he lost, different story.

 

Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers. There is nothing in the trial which says Merchan conducted himself inappropriately, except in the fevered imagination of Trump supporters.

 

You may be right, Merchan may be disbarred. However, that will only be because Trump will exercise presidential power to be vindictive.

He has nothing to lose sentencing Trump to five years. Trump goes to jail waiving, and in a week it’s overturned by the NY appellate court. He’ll be a hero to the left and daughter got rich off the phony case. 

 

Trump is not going after anyone. He didn’t last time, and he won’t this time. 

 

He might go after some of the J6 perjurers.

They have already said.. The cases against him will be dropped because they do not want such scandals as taking the President of the US to court for these things.

You are welcome.   You can check my posts on my profile page (or whatever it's called).   I would not say that I am always courteous, but when someone calls me names or bullies me, I won't back down from the attack.   I think at most I might make a sarcastic that may border on being snide.   But no outright denigrating to or about people.    

 

I don't know that my experience is in cultural or historical milieu is extensive, but it is more than what some have had.   My dad was in the U.S. Army so there was the benefit of travel and exposure to different cultures and countries.   I have also had employment that has required that I associate with people such as (what I call) the little old man or woman down the street, up to having to work with Secret Service personnel protecting presidents.    

 

Here in the U.S. of A. there has been, for several years, some advantages to being a minority.  I could take advantage of that by making a claim based on Cherokee Indian (oh wait, I mean Native American) ancestry, but I guess I am too lazy.   Besides, I seem to have been able to get by on my own.

There is no “fix is in”. Trump has no power until January. If they could convict him of insurrection, he would be barred from taking office. They can’t. Had he lost the election, all of the federal charges would have run their course and dissolved. Had Harris won, she likely would have called them off. No upside, much downside.

All of those cases and settlements are going to be massively changed on appeal.  But that won't happen (obviously) until after the election.  The goal was to hurt Trump's election chances.  They failed.   Enough of the voters saw through the lawfare.

Completely dismiss all of the women, brown people, black people and gay people that put Donald Trump in office. That alone speaks volumes. Move on

It occurred to me that there is irony in your telling me I don't have any basis for posting on this forum. 

When the topic of the thread is about President Elect Trump, who will receive the oath of office as the President of the United States in January 2025, while I live in the United States, and you, it appears, do not!

  So your Scottish ancestors stole Aboriginal land ?

But, we can save that for the next Israel thread and suggestions of giving land back 🙂
