Wish I'd made more effort to short that stock last week. For whatever reason EToro wasn't facilitating it.

“Nobody has been treated like Trump in terms of badly” - “Lincoln was badly because he was in a thing called the civil war’

"and Andrew Jackson was treated so badly as president, that his wife died from the stress"

You mean the wife who died from TB 2 years before Jackson became president?

"Tremendously badly"


The man is a f***ing moron. While it's understandable that such people exist, it's really difficult to comprehend how so many people can support him.

Shooting up again now though......(although maybe shouldn't use a term like that in relation to Trump / Biden)

If Trump isn't guilty of anything, as a couple of posters would have us believe - this raises the question once more over why he wants to try and delay everything. Get to Trial, and get acquitted - it's months before the election. Get it out of the way surely?

New York appeals judge rejects Trump’s request to delay hush-money trial

Lawyers had argued trial should be postponed while they seek a change of venue to move it out of heavily Democratic Manhattan

His speeches say otherwise…..

He doesn’t write his speeches. Presidents have used speech writers for decades.

 

[lasvegan]

You missed corruption,

Corruption happens in every facet of society. The Biden crime family are very good examples.

 

[lasvegan]

Biden is fit to be president. His record says as much. He will win the next election.

Democrats aren‘t. Trump has multiple cases against him because he’s rolling in corruption, you reap what you sow.

you wouldn’t know totalitarianism if it brought you a drink just like your failure to understand what socialism actually is. TBH your Lack of understanding and knowledge is very depressing.

On the subject on mentally fit to govern. Exactly where do you stand on Trumps mental state. I ask as my father had dementia and Alzheimer’s and he could be trumps twin in behaviours, the only difference is that my dad didn’t wear a diaper!

I had no idea that Trump wears a diaper!

 

[lasvegan]

Trump is a Republican - it is Biden that is the Democrat candidate, just to clear up any confusion for anyone reading this..Typo!

I wish I had your optimism about Biden but I hope you are right.

Where is The Optimist when you need him.

No shit Sherlock. At Biden can actually deliver a speech, Trump is incomprehensible …. And I’m being polite.

Absolutely no proof if this, the republicans have being going after Biden’s son and have come up with nothing other than looking like idiots.

I see that Call me Dave has just met up with Trump. One of the Orange Monster’s followers offered him out……

“Lord Cameron has been urging Republicans for some time to approve the aid package, particularly angering Republican congresswoman and Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor-Greene, who told the foreign secretary to "kiss my ass".” BBC

It seems everyone else has. Uber Christian MTG isn’t averse to adultery.

The Biden crime family

You're becoming a parody

@lasvegan is capable of incredible mental gymnastics and whataboutery.

Every unproven allegation against Biden or his family is FACT, and takes on direct equivalence to Trump’s actions in his eyes.

Every actual recorded and publicly available case against Trump is FAKE NEWS, and a WITCH HUNT. Trump is being PERSECUTED.

Let’s be honest, Trump has been searching for mud to throw at Biden for years, and it’s eating him up that he hasn’t found anything with substance that lands on the spot.

Biden has largely ignored the noise, and got on with his job. That’s a measure of the two men in itself. One working with dignity, the other raging and snarling about how he’s going to lock his political opponents up. How very American, the land of the free.

In the meantime some of Trump’s more dubious business practices have been uncovered and investigated, not at Biden’s request, but by state lawmakers, and Trump’s records include proven demonstrable falsehoods (the man incapable of using a tape measure correctly should not be entrusted with leadership of the free world) and yet this isn’t fraud in Trump’s eyes, it’s VICTIMISATION.

The information in the linked to PDF demonstrates that Trump’s case is one of many, many cases that the New York DA’s office are considering, or have considered, undermining Trump’s claim that he’s being singled out for special treatment.

He’s just another defendant, and seemingly one who’s been caught bang to rights based on the evidence presented.

Top work.

Me? I struggle. Sixty years of dealing with people through the prism of my autism by the only means I imagined possible (being aggressive and confrontational) have made being nice . . . . tricky (ahem).

But, like John Lydon, I (also do) try so hard to be nice

Shoeboxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
@Crawley Dingo will ignore
Whatever they cannot explain
As if nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again.....

Or something like this!
