[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

[GT49er]

Perhaps you want to explain why you altered a comment I made about Trump into a discussion about Hitler?

Perhaps you need to look at it and think a little harder. The things you attributed to Trump's ideals were equally appropriate for Hitler.

 

[clapham_gull]

Exactly. 'Right knob' is way off the mark!

You've no idea which way I swing.

Btw this is the second thread today that you have gone out of your way to try and bait me and derail a thread with your trolling - what’s the problem here? Have I done something to offend you?

Sorry, Biden is a fascist.

Does that make amends ?

Uh - I was posting things that distinguished him from a fascist in response to a post that listed the attributes of Fascism. Nothing to do with Hitler. I was commenting on him being a self-centred narcissist ffs.



Trump is nothing like Hitler - Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews for a start or did you forget that when you altered my post? Perhaps you need to think a little harder before altering someone’s posts in a way you know will be offensive to them.

 

[rogersix]

What is Biden exactly? Interesting question.

Certainly not someone who is mentally or physically fit to be president.

trump never was

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

The truth is worse than that.
I've heard he's secretly... French.

Apparently when nobody's watching he slips into a stripy jumper and beret and struts around the oval office shrugging his shoulders and making disparaging remarks about the rosbifs.

Try 10 times, in the early hours.

Incorrect.

 

[A1X]

Come on NRA - get your act together - there's a job that needs doing!

Unfortunately the nutters with guns are on his side, there’s probably more chance of him being taken out by the CIA

 

[Zeberdi]

No, you suggested someone (or more than one someone) was/were stupid enough to think a certain poster was a right knob. I doubt anyone thought he was that sort of knob at all. But carry on .......................

No I was suggesting that some far right knobs would probably think Biden was a Communist - in defence of why I took the post at face value in the first place. Not directed at anyone in particular and certainly didn’t call anyone a ‘right knob’ so please stop twisting my posts.

I am beginning to see why HWT has such a long ignore list now.

 

[clapham_gull]

Amends for what ? You posted a comment that I took for face value because I don’t know you from Adam - there was no nuance it was a statement.

If it was a joke fair enough but like I said, there’s been a lot of political labels that have been bandied about on this thread- it just looked more of the same. No need to pile it on is there.

The vast majority of the people on this site don't know "anyone from Adam", but they are aware of enough of what constitutes irreverence.

I don't have much time for millennial phrases such as "pile one", but understand it and a handful of replies pointing out what you missed hardly constitutes one.

We've all been "whooshed" (me many times) but you take it on the chin and move on. I've been on here on for years and am clearly yoghurt knitting urban liberal material who just happened to be brought up in Sussex.

If you took more attention to the words of others, rather than your own you wouldn't have been subjected to a piss take. We'll all been there.

This is borderline "flounce", please step back.

Actually altering posts written by a Jewish person to make it sound as if they are comparing Trump to Hitler is deeply offensive and yes, a pile on as is critiquing me for not knowing who you are or what you stand for.

In the context of this thread, there have been some ridiculous comparisons of Biden to far left ideologues and Socialists, by Trump supporters I wasn’t to know that that was not also where you were coming from. You called Biden a communist which simply I took at face value because there was nothing in your post to suggest you were joking. Nothing to do with me not being ‘aware.

You May have been on here for years but I haven’t and I only post on about 10-15% of the active threads on NSC and only on half those with any regularity - I have about 20-15 threads on ignore at any one time so don’t read other the threads I don’t post on - I also don’t always read back on the previous posts - I just read the post I am quoting - partly because I can’t see the earlier posts when I am on a mobile phone ( which I am this evening) - ). You have only made 11 posts to a 74 post thread so forgive me that I didn’t remember what your political stance was with regard to Trump.

Anyway, you were not serious - and in the future I will try and remember what your political leanings are - all it needed was for you to say so in the first place ( as I have done many times if people haven’t got one of my jokes - I don’t start attacking them because they should have known me better than they did.

Blimey and sorry - straight on ignore. Go to bed.

I am sure being held without charge for years and others getting 5 years for Tresspass is fair sentencing.

DeSantis quits the campaign.

DeSantis quits the campaign.

And endorses Trump…

 

[Pevenseagull]

And endorses Trump…

Of course he does. Same a brown noser Cruz did after Trump accused his father of killing JFK and his wife of being ugly.

Lovely bunch.

Trump talks a lot of rubbish sometimes, but accusing him of killing JFK? Post the video of him saying that...and his wife isn’t ugly.

I’m glad personally - not sure people knew how much more right wing and evangelical fundamentalist he was compared to other runners and there is always a chance Trump will be convicted of federal offences before November and be kicked off a few swing state ballots. This leaves Nikki Haley, the former UN Ambassador, as the closest contender, trailing Trump by 13-15% in some polls in NH but nearly 50% in General Election polls.

How is this even possible that Trump has so completely taken over the GOP and basically guaranteed himself the nominee Presidential candidate? The slur and threat tactics he is using to destroy the credibility of any opposition It’s just shocking really as is the complete lack of morality of Republicans blind to his track record in his first term, two impeachments and blatant attempts to overturn a legitimate General Election.

While Desantis voters are more likely to switch to Trump than Haley, the New Hampshire Primaries might see Haley close the gap very slightly but not enough to oust Trump from pole position in NH - although NH is a far more moderate State than Iowa and has actually voted Democrat in every Presidential Election since 2004, it is unlikely to make much dent in the momentum and direction this is all heading in..

NH PRIMARY TUESDAY 23RD JANUARY

Yep, Trump insinuated that Cruz’s father was in league with LHO in the assassination of JFK;

Trump accuses Cruz's father of helping JFK's assassin

It's a disgrace that Ted Cruz's father can use the pulpit to court evangelicals for his son, Donald Trump said Tuesday.

This is who we are dealing with folks

He did also post a tweet comparing Ted Cruz’s wife with Melania in 2016 which is what was meant I think:

The headline in the Politico post Is a complete misrepresentation of what he actually said…and see, she isn’t ugly at all!

…but, in all honesty, who would you pick on the Y or N category which is so popular on here?

 

[BadFish]

The headline in the Politico post Is a complete misrepresentation of what he actually said…and see, she isn’t ugly at all!

…but, in all honesty, who would you pick on the Y or N category which is so popular on here?

So in both cases he insinuated exactly what has been suggested here.

Yet you have managed to paint it differently.

What is quoted in the article clearly shows that Trump is insinuating that something suspicious was going on. Perhaps if you disagree with the headline you could have commented on that?

The point about his wife isn't about whether she is attractive or not. It is about the purpose of Trump's tweet and what he was trying to say by tweeting it.

Your mental gymnastics and ability to shift the discussion is both impressive and necessary here. I guess this is indicative of what is going on in the US at the moment.

Yes true - and why I posted a link with an actual recording of Trump insinuating that Cruz’s Dad helped LHO murder JFK.

Play the news video on the link - the fact he would even do that is astonishing- he’s a loose canon with other people’s lives.

As far as ‘beauty’ - It’s all in the eye of the beholder isn’t it? - No Melania isn’t ‘ugly’, I don’t think any woman is but personally I think Heidi Cruz is altogether more natural looking, exudes a warmth and intelligence that I can’t see in Melania - so for me, although she’s not an ex-model, Heidi is more gorgeous and ‘real’ looking than Melania who’s clearly been tweaking her face with plastic surgery for many years and looks worse than when she did before all the ‘work’ . (imo!). The point is, not only should Trump have not started on this misogynistic exercise of treating wives like cattle and cannon fodder in an election campaign but I think he was on thin ice too …
