Trump is a modern-day Joseph Goebbels

Discussion in 'Politicians' started by Joshua Tree, Aug 24, 2019.

  1. But what of the things he's said? That he can do whatever he wants, grab women by their pussys, and I stopped listening after that.

    Well, maybe he's just so different that he tries to relate to other guys in a strange, sometimes awkward way. I don't necessarily believe he's ever grabbed any woman by the pussy, or if he was just trying to seem cool to the other guy in the room. We're not really all just obsessed with sex and power.

    You know VG is going to see one of those links is a CNN video and will nullify the whole list because of that.

    VG is hopeless. I suspect he doesn't believe much of what he says and is just having fun trying to defend the indefensible. Trump has been televised making the comment on numerous occasions, recorded by numerous outlets. Unless they're all using deepfake technology.

    Yet you want this same government to raise and indoctrinate our children via public education, have full control over our healthcare, and look after us when we get old?

    Sounds like someone's putting too much trust in the wrong people. The ones that can get away with killing us whenever they want.

    Maybe we will have another chance to defeat ISIS
     
  7. We may not need leaders, but we have leaders. Maybe we can grow some point to the day where we won't need people who can work out ways the government can be friendlier, but as it is, we have them. They're not all the same, as should be obvious to anyone who can distinguish one man's identity from another's.

    There is no denying either that there are men who hunt enemies of the state or that people are generally good. But I think the odds are in the good guys' favor.

    I'm not aware of anyone with a platform that involves raising and indoctrinating children via public education. Do you have a viable alternative to the government providing healthcare? Do you think you can get old Jim Bob to do the surgery?

    Trumps approval rating compared to previous Presidents. In the low 40s at the moment, nothing too out of the ordinary

    How Popular Is Donald Trump?

    Half a dozen crackpots on a purple internet forum or watching too much CNN isnt going to give you a proper view of the real world

    But out of the ordinary when you consider he's rarely gone above that during nearly three years in office. His approval rating has stayed in the low 40s %, with a majority disapproving. Consistently a minority president.

    And you think you have a proper view of the real world? You seem to be living in an impervious fantasy bubble of your own creation.

    the "side i'm on" in any given debate is not infallible, even when it's the Truth.
    there's no point wasting time and damaging my own causes using anything that can be discredited by the other side.
    if anyone can find a way to discredit it, VG can, and i appreciate it.
    i think his involvement in any discussion causes me to read things more thoroughly and try to understand things more deeply.

    i admit sometimes he just talks nonsense : )

    Camus was fascinated with many things, including Machiavelli, because he never did put two and two together to figure out that people tend to organize like chickens. The less they trust each other, the more mindless and predictable their behavior becomes.

    Donald Duck was elected against the objections of his own party leaders. In other words, his disapproval ratings reflect the fact nobody approves of anyone in the government, and voting the bums out of office is what they've been doing for over twenty years. Go ahead, keep a score of how many asshole republicans destroy our economy, run our government into the dirt, and then get voted out of office. You will do nothing but frustrate yourself, like American voters have done now for half a century.

    The idea Donald Duck represents as insane as it gets, belies all the evidence.

    Okay so
    If there is a Speech Act it wouldnt be relevant because you said it involves foreign libel cases

    So what specifically prevents Trump from suing CNN for libel?
    What did Trump say specifically as to why he cant sue?
    Be specific. Specific legislation that prevents him from suing and specifically what he said.

    The Neo-Nazis and KKK just want people to know they are in charge of the republican party, and are not horribly interested in coming out of the closet and wearing sheets on national television. These are fascists, and not all of them are quite as obviously insane as our glorious leader, or card carrying members of the KKK, which is largely scum of the earth entertainment. The KKK love nothing more than screaming insults at each other the world for hours. They are biding their time until they feel ready to make a grab for power, and take over the government altogether.

    They will display their racist pride in public, when they are ready to force it on the entire country. Go ahead, tell 30% of the population they must participate in a democracy and see how hard they laugh.

    LOL, I heard it on Fox News when I was getting my oil changed. CNN happened to be the first google link that came up. Attack on the source is a logical fallacy.

    If we can't agree on objective reality, we're not going to be able to debate about anything with ...facts.

    This is a valid point. Trump's never cared about any position that doesn't involve him going to jail for longer than 3 weeks.

    ???

    So he only cares about things that lead him to be sent to jail for precisely 3 weeks?
