Topic: Up Like Trump - page 120. (Read 572791 times)

I've nothin to add to the Trump debate (debacle) - but can I just thank Wilikon for at least spicing this thread up with pretty pictures of sumptuous young women. No other threads can compete. Keeps me lookin anyhow.

Reminds me of Rupert Murdochs page 3 of The Sun (the UK's favourite reactionary tabloid):-




I'll bet they don't make 'em like this in Venezuela hey Wilikon 

I think that is correct, at that time they had the lofty view from above of the political battlefield.  With Trump, it's more like the barbarians are at the gates.

Makes no difference to them that the barbarians at the gates are the people of the country.

Leaving all morality and ethics aside, just looking at the power play, in Hillary they've fielded the absolute worst candidate in the 20-21st century.  I think Trump's phrase for her "Crooked Hillary" is going to stick like superglue.

Those who push political narratives are just now beginning to shape the Anti-Trump messages.

Rare pepe trump.

+1 bonus camel toe

All of them are pro-Democrat. It is extremely difficult to find a political website, which is neutral and unbiased. I have tried RCP, Fivethirtyeight, and Politico. All of them contain a good amount of information, but the bias towards Hitlery irritates me. They were not this much one-sided during the 2012 POTUS elections (Obama vs Romney).

LOL, notice the Democrat delegate count in their "primary race" is right on the front page for Fivethirtyeight.com.

Just for grins TRY to find the Republican (Trump) delegate count on that website.

Yo bryant. #neverTrump don'tchaknow. Killary turns me on, like what a bitch is.

I have searched various political sites such as the Real Clear Politics and Five Thirtyeight, and there is no mention about the poll from Clout Research, which found Trump leading Hitlery by 2 points in Oregon. Clout Research is a quite reliable pollster. Then why the mainstream media is trying to hide the results? Afraid of Trump squashing Hitlery?

Nothing scares the progressive left more than the scope and visibility of the American Patriot.

Internally I use the word 'trawl' rather than 'troll'.  I find it a more applicable analogy for what the people I respect as high-end 'trolls' do.

Oddly, I could have swore that the primary characteristics of Fascism were right their in Obama's actions and attitude.

Is the question here whether Trump is "our" Fascist and Obama "their" Fascist?

More likely in following their marching orders to present the anti-Trump narratives, they simply overlooked this.

Rise of Donald Trump Tracks Growing Debate Over Global Fascism


WASHINGTON — The comparison was inflammatory, to say the least. Former Gov. William F. Weld of Massachusetts equated Donald J. Trump’s immigration plan with Kristallnacht, the night of horror in 1938 when rampaging Nazis smashed Jewish homes and businesses in Germany and killed scores of Jews.

But if it was a provocative analogy, it was not a lonely one. Mr. Trump’s campaign has engendered impassioned debate about the nature of his appeal and warnings from critics on the left and the right about the potential rise of fascism in the United States. More strident opponents have likened Mr. Trump to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

To supporters, such comparisons are deeply unfair smear tactics used to tar conservatives and scare voters. For a bipartisan establishment whose foundation has been shaken by Mr. Trump’s ascendance, these backers say, it is easier to delegitimize his support than to acknowledge widespread popular anger at the failure of both parties to confront the nation’s challenges.

But the discussion comes as questions are surfacing around the globe about a revival of fascism, generally defined as a governmental system that asserts complete power and emphasizes aggressive nationalism and often racism. In places like Russia and Turkey, leaders like Vladimir V. Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan employ strongman tactics. In Austria, a nationalist candidate came within three-tenths of a percentage point of becoming the first far-right head of state elected in Europe since World War II.

How does that old story about the billy goats gruff and the troll under the bridge go again?

 

I am glad none of those people exist in Po & So...

To me 'troll' means 'truth' in almost all cases of high quality.  The defining aspect of a 'troll' would be that it 'gets people's goat' and 'causes a reaction.'  An undeniable truth which conflicts with someone's prefered outlook is highly effective here.  People either lash out or stay mum and over time adjust their defective outlook for the better.

Thus, a high quality troll is a valuable and healthy thing.  And often a hell of a lot of fun.  The cherry on the top is that it is highly ethical since any pain and outrage it may cause is a direct result of deficiencies in the victim that are, ideally, on the mend.  Like a wound which itches as it is healing.

When I call Donald J. Trump a 'troll', I do so as a compliment.

 ---tvbcof: Trolling the net since the usenet days.

 

 

Thus in this case, troll means truth at the end of the day?

A good angle for trolling is to state that at the end of the day, women are biologically programmed to prefer a strong male in leadership positions.  Especially when there are threats and dangers lurking.  Thus, Trump will not end up having big problems here.

This suggestion also happens to have an element of truth to it which is a key factor in the most effective trolls.
