Almost all minority groups disagree with you, oh, but you'll just say they are all brainwashed by the MSM. I guess the only people not brainwashed by the MSM into thinking Trump is a racist, are Trump supporters themselves. Imagine how that works. :lol:

Man, now grass will no longer grow over Churchill's grave from him spinning so hard after that statement.

Not the "bomb throwers" and not those who simply vote a straight republican ticket.

Just the fanboys.

If that were the case, where was the MSM for the last 50 years on Trump?
50 years in the limelight, hobnobbing with the richest and powerful people - not only in the US but worldwide.
And in 50 years of exposure to MSM and gossip papers ... and nobody reported on that racist streak in him?!?

:lamo

Back to the OP, I haven't read the detailed articles yet, but a number of headlines "Pakistan Calls Emergency Meeting over Trump's Order to Withhold Military Aid to Pakistan" showed up on the news aggregators I view most mornings over coffee.

Frankly, I was more interested in the Iran protests, and an article about a rescue dog new to a family saving that family from a house fire. I'm a sucker for dog stories.

Some of us haven't forgotten Pakistan harbored Bin Laden.

Remember Ecuador gave Assange sanctuary. Their ambassador to the US is very upset we're not necessarily renewing their American foreign aid package. Life decisions have repercussions.

David Farragut and the US Marines taught the Barbary Pirates we won't pay baksheesh. You all know the words ".... to the shores of Tripoli."

Maybe Trump is right, scary huh?

(Shoulder shrug)... One day at a time. This, the Trump Era shall pass. For those of us who oppose him, let us pray it passes sooner than later.

I woke up this morning... and in pretty short order, looked out one of my windows to see what I could make of the America immediately outside my home within my range of sight. It looked pretty orderly, a bit cool with a light rain. Maybe I should thank President Trump?

Nah. I still don't like him as our POTUS. I give him a dime's worth of credit for my Good Day today and a decent 2017 for me personally. The stock market has benefited my family this past year... and I had a banner year in 2017 with my ObamaCare!

Happy New Year DP! May our Best Times Lie ahead!

Churchill? Really?

Guy, here's a clue: great leaders not only have "balls" (or the female equivalent thereof), but they also have brains, heart, courage, and experience. Churchill was not only a combat vet, but a visionary - he was the first high-level proponent not only of tanks, but is apparently the one who first conceived of LST's - "Landing Ship, Tank". He - and the royal family - refused to abandon London during the worst of the Blitz. He also envisioned what he called a "United States of Europe"...which we now know came into being (with many differences) as the European Union.

But wait - there's more! Churchill wrote at length on the importance and value of DIPLOMACY...something that your side seems to have rejected as "weak". Yes, Churchill was one of the first and strongest to speak out against the nascent Nazi regime, but it was his diplomatic efforts that brought and held together the "Grand Alliance" of the UK, the USSR, and America. Churchill wasn't perfect, but he was in my opinion the single most important national leader of the 20th century...and he would have looked at Trump and at Trump's seeming approval of "White Nationalism", and he would say that he's seen that before, just as he'd seen dictators call the media the "enemy of the people" before. I would say that if Churchill had anything at all complimentary of Trump, it would be that Trump would never be a Hitler, for Hitler (an Iron Cross-decorated soldier himself) had proven himself to be courageous and highly literate as well as having "monstrous balls", and was far more competent in leading a nation than Trump ever could be...even though Hitler led his nation to utter ruin, as have so many others with "monstrous balls".

Churchill - combat vet. Trump - heel spurs.
Churchill - great diplomat. Trump - diplomacy is a waste of time.

No, Trump could never be a Churchill. He couldn't even hold Churchill's jockstrap.

Churchill, the man who decided to allow millions of Indians in India to die of starvation during WWII. A hero. A murderer. A man who called all north Africans and mideasterners, WOGS, a man who when told of the occurring holocaust said, "As long as they finish the job before we destroy them, not our problem." A hero.

Concerning India, think on this: you're the leader of a nation at war for its very existence...and that demands on food imports in order to feed its people. You've got access to a great deal of food...but you can either use that food to feed your own people, or to feed the people in a colony. You can't have both. For all the issue's complexities, that's really it in a nutshell: you know in your gut that your nation is fighting for its very existence. So which do you choose?

Shades of gray, isn't it? Try this page on Quora - it gives a great discussion from both sides of the issue...because if you only listen to one side, you're missing out on the whole story.

Churchill was far from perfect, but in the aggregate, he was a great leader. You refer to his racism, but remember the times - this was also when Jim Crow was the law of the land in America...you have to take his racism in the context of the times.

I have Churchill on the brain.....need to go see this new movie.....but yes it could be, you will recall that one of the reasons Trump was elected in spite of all of his flaws was a sense especially amoungst evangelicals that time was up, that if we did not take this opportunity to take back Washington from the Intelligentsia then there would not be another chance, that they were too close to being able to ram their UTOPIA home by force. You notice that Trump is tearing up and burning down everything that he can get his hands on. THis is not a mistake, this is the plan, the plan to save America from the corrupt immoral incompetent elite class.

Breathing room we will call it, so that we can find and elect someone better than Trump.

And get him more help than Trump has got.

Churchill made that choice not because of a need to feed Britain, but because he chose to not risk those supplies being interdicted by the Japanese. He was as guilty as Hitler and Stalin of genocide, he had no respect for the lives of the inferior wogs.

Deflecting to Jim Crow laws has nothing to do with Churchill. I don't have to accept his bigotry on any basis. and I won't. I don't have to accept the British, or European sense of self superiority that still pervades all Europe and Britain today. Churchill's standing rose to the mythic, such doesn't make him a great leader, just a man in the right place and time to use his oratory skills at their optimum. Some of his decisions were of value to Britain, that doesn't make them of value to others.

Don't make assumptions. And I am not referring to his racism, I am being very specific as to his bigotry.

The people who run the gears have no use for Trump and The Rebellion I mean.

Really limits what can be done, this stuff takes a lot of time to learn if one must start from scratch, Newt has come back to this topic time and again....the goal is to make Trump look as bad as possible to speed the process of sloughing him off, do as little as possible otherwise, and then wait him out.
Click to expand...

"the goal is to make Trump look as bad as possible" obvious even to the most casual observer. Calls to question whether it'll be effective in the least, or not.

"sloughing him off" reviewing history would seem to indicate that no president, nor his actions, are easily sloughed off.

Best regards to you and yours! Congratulations on finding happiness in TrumpWorld!

Please look up a description of "Filter Bubble". In light of your Noob status.... and

to help you grasp some of the differences between Liberals and Conservatives, I provide you a brief description of both.

Thank you, I will and I will enjoy the raise I'm getting next month. If you have a job you will get one too, if not maybe you should get one. May I tidy up your little list a little you so graciously left me.

Liberals:
Like spending other people's money
expect the government to pay for their haircuts
bitch and gripe about life all the time, are never happy even when their commander and thief is in charge
steal from strangers and acquaintances and think they owe them a living
spew lies and B/S
smile only when they get over on someone or a conservative
have a bad attitude, never happy always angry even when their people are in charge
most don't work if they can get out of it
care about welfare and checks...(not common welfare) and courtesy of the good people that make the country work and pay all the bills (and that includes good hard working liberals or progressives that don't buy into this stuff above)
and....would rather climb a light pole to tell a lie than stand on the ground to tell the truth.

Now...that looks more like it....realistic

Haven't seen many fanboys as of late, at least not online. Though I do know of a small frat house at the college, who somehow believe he can do no wrong.

I'll be honest in saying that he is doing an overall good job, much better then how Obama betrayed I and all the others who voted for him. Though I do disagree with some of his actions, which is usual if you ask me.

Its been a long time since I have agreed with everything that our president has done and by that I mean never.

The enemies he is talking about are in the Democrat party, some of which write in these forums. Once the economy picks up, the crimes of the Democrat party are exposed, and health care costs come down, many of those who have been conned by the Democrats and media to fight the fight, will come over to the other side.

For example, the Russian collusion, if true, would be a good reason to oppose Trump. But if this turned out to be a distraction to cover up Democrat collusion, many of these enemies will feel embarrassed, and try to make it right.

He already won over many hostile Republicans, who hated him, by his tireless efforts to pass the tax reform bill, that the Republicans have been trying to do for years. He won their respect by taking the heat. The next tier of enemies only will need the truth. Trump must already know about the future direction of the Justice Department, and what Mueller is about to say, publicly. The Trump collusion investigation, reveled the true enemies pf the state and will be the new direction of investigation.

If you know how to do translate Trump, he makes more sense.
