Re: The US Hamster Wheel
We all know of the great Tango's intention to ignore the vote if it doesnt go his way, but considering the recent cases of mail bags being dumped and ballot boxes dissapearing It seems to me that if the vote doesn't go for Joe then he has good reason to behave same.
That's fake news! Mail bags? I'll have the FBI sewing them if I don't win!
Oh - that Tango!

"How are you doing? How's energy coming? When are you doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits?"
"When I call the head of Exxon I say, 'You know, I'd love [for you] to send me $25m [£19m] for the campaign.' 'Absolutely sir,'" he added.
"I will hit a home run every single call," Mr Trump said. "I would raise a billion dollars in one day if I wanted to. I don't want to do that."
I think he is going to win the election, his supporters love this *****, the fact that it paints a scenario of open corruption is fine with them

Bob, maybe you missed the last part: "I don't want to do that".

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
The NYT reports, through his tax records, finding a Chinese bank account held by Trump's "Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C." which paid a lot of tax into Chinese coffers. Little wonder he will not release the records! A Trump lawyer said:
"“....opened an account with a Chinese bank having offices in the United States in order to pay the local taxes” associated with efforts to do business there. He said the company had opened the account after establishing an office in China “to explore the potential for hotel deals in Asia.”
“No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive,” Mr. Garten said. “Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose.”
Well, these virus labs are not cheap to run. Those naughty Bidens have had business dealings with China too, don't you know?

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
I wish Trump the best of luck in next weeks election.
His term in office has been the most amusing ever.
If Sleepy Joe manages to hirple into the Oval Office, the US will just slide one notch further down the pc, blm, woke and wankerish toilet.
I forsee considerable violence if Trump loses.

As the political temperature in the US rises to critical levels, would the gunslingers PLEASE retire to elsewhere and start the “OK Corral” thread and leave this thread for informed debate?barkingmad wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 11:25 amMay I step in to the dusty street of US politics whilst dodging the .45 cal bullets whizzing past my ears and politely suggest that the current spat of catapults and name-throwing and general immaturity be relocated to another thread?
Perhaps this new thread could be named "OK Corral", so that the gunslingers could scrap in private and the rest of us could concentrate on topic?
Alas the US political scene deeply affects us all, despite our dislike of it, but in an election year wherein one of the most controversial POTUS's for decades is up for re-election after a very eventful and sometimes entertaining term, then it would be pleasant to be able to view the contest, in this saloon bar, without the Wyatt Earp antics distracting the exchange of wit and ideas.
For precedent please refer to the OP post # 1 to clarify the aim of the thread, long since forgotten in the dust and gunfire?
Otherwise the discussion descends to the same low level as did the recent unseemly squabble ‘twixt Trump and Biden which triggered the hi-tech solution of mute switches controlling the contestants utterances and bad mannered rants!

I stand by my post, Is it acceptable to post "P. S. *f*ck* Off Troll" when referring to somebody else's post?
Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Prospector, don’t worry about it. It just exposes the poster for what he really is.

Insulting attacks on another member's intelligence and gratuitous and unnecessary vulgarities are, in my personal opinion, not acceptable. Quotations of other people's vulgarities may be required for the context. This is my personal opinion of course and it is up to boss and eventually the community to decide what is acceptable.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
I know that in whatever bubble it is that you are at, it always get ignored that right wing extremists kills far more people that left wing extremists. They also plan and carry out far more terrorist attacks, kidnappings, murders and so on than left wing extremists. And when they are not marching in the streets with torches yelling that "the Jew will not replace us" or standing around pretending to be obese members of Meal Team Six, they are hoping the next civil war is about to break out so the prophecies of Qanon can come true. DHS say they "remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland".
I wouldn't be surprised if a few disciples are here as well.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
NMC.
Although I would call myself Right Wing I would not consider myself extremist.
I would like to read your proof that in America;
I live in Portland Oregon where we have suffered four months of continual riots by left wing extremist under the cover of BLM complete with Molotov Cocktails and fire-bombing occupied buildings and yet I can't recall one Right Wing torch march. Funny that, you must, I think, be reading the wrong newspapers.

Those are pretty extensive and serious accusations which you must surely be able to support. Just reports from a reliable law enforcement body is all you need supply. Perhaps you can find something from the DHS which is fact rather than opinion.right wing extremists kills far more people that left wing extremists. They also plan and carry out far more terrorist attacks, kidnappings, murders and so on than left wing extremists. And when they are not marching in the streets with torches yelling that "the Jew will not replace us" or standing around pretending to be obese members of Meal Team Six, they are hoping the next civil war is about to break out so the prophecies of Qanon can come true.
I would point out that the DHS may say that they, whoever "they" are considered to be, are labelled as a threat which implies that they do not constitute a present problem which makes your first claim rather weak.DHS say they "remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland".

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
IMHO, right wing extremism is usually a reaction to the masses of left wing extremism.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
" Normal people, sick of the never-ending torrent of leftyism are eventually forced to cry 'enough!'." exactly, the latest, when a black man with a knife is threatening police, they take him out, what are they supposed to do?? run away??? if the police did that when a member of the public was threatened , what would be the response, especially from the non reflectives.
