People like him call people like us sheeple, meanwhile he's providing morality cover for the people that were out to murder him. Now he says crap like this after he and his wife had to hide at the homes of friends and family until his "people" recovered from their blood lust.

@Gator Okay Gator I would ask you to consider this. As you can see I am a Brit living in the UK so I don`t get Fox or CNN. No Tucker or Medrow, just the facts mam, just the facts. This is how the Reps look like now;
Imagine you are watching a debate between a fundamentalist Christian and nearly anyone off this site. Let's call them C and Ag respectively. C is arguing that the earth is only 6,500 years old and god made it all. Ag has fossil records, carbon dating, all of the science etc. But C always comes back with "The bible says". The same book that has talking snakes etc...
Now on one hand you have a man of dubious character, previous grift (Trump University) and proven serial liar. On the other the facts:
Firstly you have the fact that Trump was a reality-TV star. Who does those things? Do really successful people at the top of their game do it? No. The real deal guys are too busy doing it to have cameras around them 24/7. So you get Ozzy Osborne, not Kieth Richards and you don't get Branson or Bezos you get Trump or Arnie.
Trump did not win the popular vote in 2016 against the worst candidate since McGovern.
Trump lost the house in 2018.
Trump did have a successful economy but on the back of sound financial programmes by Obama and at the cost of vastly increasing the nat. debt.
Trump lost the election to Biden (Marginally better than Hillary but not by much).
Trump lost the senate.
Jan 6th!!!
Under his watch, the USA experienced huge civil unrest from both sides. The buck stops with him, especially when he sought to fan the flames.
His management of the pandemic has been abysmal. He turned public health issues into political footballs and the USA lost lives (and is still losing them).
He has and still is, destroying faith in American democracy. At no time since the civil war has America been in so much turmoil. As the captain of that ship, the responsibility lies solely with him.
Now should you wish to respond to these facts? I would ask you to counter them with facts also, not the equivalent of "The bible says"
PS. No whataboutism either

@bbyrd009 Grrrrr! You have obviously never been taught how to drink a good whiskey. (You're a Yank so it`s understandable). Cold dulls the taste. This is why lager is so bland.
To drink a single malt properly, it should be at room temperature. You may add a little mineral water if you desire (also at room temp). After taking in the colour and aroma, the first sip should be slowly rolled around your pallet. As it warms, all the hidden flavours come to light like a good looking woman undressing before your eyes.

@HippieChick58 What nothing scary? No Hitchcock etc, just Jennifer Anniston and Disney movies?
All stories have the same basic theme, protagonists - adversity - triumph. Without the fear element in the adversity part, then there is not that much adversity.
Horror accentuates the fear element so that the triumph is the greater.
Dr Who is a rather unique hero. An alien being in love with humanity but unlike US comic-book types like Superman, he (now she) always needs the help of ordinary people to save the world. So we can all identify with the protagonists. This episode drags you in brilliantly. Give it 5 -10 minutes and see.
Ps, If you do watch it, I will take one of your recommendations.

Definitely, Daleks got nuthin over Angels.
273kelvin replies on Mar 23, 2021:
@Triphid These are post-Darlek monsters.
That`s what makes this my favourite episode. The Darleks are scary on a philosophical, vocal and (to a degree, stairs used to beat them) physical level. The weeping angels are so more cinematic and visual. Two major reasons for this. Firstly, a huge increase in production values and most importantly my second point, the writing. The guys who made this episode were the kids that hid behind the sofa to the Darleks.
These are post-Darlek monsters.
"How can I make a scarier monster than the Daleks?" You can hear Stephen Moffet think in his bedroom. Weeping monsters are just that. They include both children and adults fears. The scariest thing is a child bedroom when they are afraid to close their eyes. The biggest adult fear is that of a stolen future. The fact that the Doctor is sent back to 1969 is deliberate. The age of Aquarius turned to global warming. Tell me what is scarier than that?

One quirky little Brit film where he plays himself in and actually co-stars a guy I know is; "Looking for Eric". It's about a postal worker that is mentally falling apart. His only true friend that he can be open with, is in fact imaginary, in the shape of Eric Cantona. It looks at mental illness with humour and sensitivity. As "Eric" becomes his imaginary therapist/confessor.

Those are skewed stats because the year is only 2 months old and the pandemic was over 1 year under the last administration, also the vaccine was only released at the end of last year so again the comparison is a moot point.

The points you make are valid but also need to be placed next to T----s "Operation warp speed". Which not only did not have the military delivering a vaccine to your door before the election. It also did not have the manufacturing and distribution set up at any meaningful level when they became available

If your lady is into Valentine's day (and how many are not) then you loosen up to get hard later. Remember that she is spending on all those things to make her look good 365 days of the year.
Pause for thought?

@St-Sinner Yeah coz your boxers are as expensive as Victoria Secret panties? You spend as much on your hair and nails as your dates? And tell me just HOW much do you spend each year on make-up?

@St-Sinner So on a romantic night you think that expences are equal? Wrong.
Let us assume that you are both on equal pay (not born out by statistics but ...). I don't know about you but when I get ready it involves a shower, light grooming and clean clothes.
A woman, all of the aforementioned plus hair, nails, makeup, dresses and (if you're lucky) those lovely undies with all of the right bits of cloth missing. None of this is cheap, so if I am expected to spring for a Chinese take-out then I reckon I get the best of the bargain.

Suit yourself, Aaron. Over 30,000 volunteers tested with one person having side effects. Since then, a couple million people vaccinated and nobody got really ill. So, I'll take my chances with the vaccine--rather than wait to see how I would do with the actual virus.

@azzow2 Point taken but most of the problems were with vaccines taken from strains of the virus itself. From what I understand, the COVID vaccines have been made from a neutralised chimpanzee virus and genetically modified to fight COVID. As in all these things, we cannot be 100% sure of any long term effects. We can only be as sure as we can make it. However, considering the short and long term effects of COVID-19 itself, it is a risk worth taking.

@azzow2 The pharmaceutical companies do not write the rules. They are set down by international standards with some regional differences. These are published and peer-reviewed. So in many ways, they are a lot safer than the aeroplane you will readily fly in. (No one replicates Boeings experiments) Also there has never been any long term problems with any vaccine ever. Unlike drugs that have had quite a sordid history.

273kelvin replies on Jan 13, 2021:
@Admin Let us look at his words in true context...
When armed militia entered the state capitols of Michigan and other states. He called them "Patriots"
When asked to condemn the Proud Boys in the debate he said "Stand down and stand by" (Stand by for what we might ask?)
After the election, he continued to espouse misinformation of voter fraud. To the extent that hardly any of his base believe that the elections were fair. Even though no proof has come to light and BOTH of his appointees in the DOJ and DHS said there was none.
He refused to condemn the attempted kidnapping of the Mi governor.
He then called on his supporters to come to Washington for a "Stop the steal" rally. ( A clear violation of the Hatch Act but we kinda stopped worrying about little niceties like that ages ago)
(At this point any responsible person might think that there might be some trouble and maybe tone down the rhetoric, however...)
On the day of the rally when Gulliani called for "Trial by combat". Trump son says "We are coming for you". Trump then ... “This egregious assault on our democracy,” he said his supporters should “walk down to the Capitol.”— “We are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women,” he continued, “and we are probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them — because you will never take back our country with weakness.”
(Exactly where was he expecting his supporters to be cheering from? A respectful distance, all 6 feet apart through muffled masks at closed windows?)
With all this one MUST bear in mind that he is not just some guy, He is the POTUS. His words carry weight (if no substance). You call a mob to come to Washington. Knowing full well that far-right elements and a lot of angry people will be there. (You cannot tell me that there were no security briefings about what might happen.) Then you tell them to walk to the capitol and "you will never take back our country with weakness.” Well just what the f*ck did he think was going to happen? Oh and after it did happen "We love you...You are very special people."
Okay let me put this another way;
There is a guy at the local bar going on and on about how there is a paedo in our community. He says that the police will do nothing and then goes into graphic detail about the acts he alleges have been happening. All night he rants on about this guy and when the bar is about to close he says; Let's walk round to the guy's house and show him how we feel about him. Adding "We have to show strength here"
So then a mob breaks into the guy's house and beats him to death. To what extent was that ranter responsible?

Tommy is in line and the Queen spends a minute talking to him then moves on. Cooper then calls out "Excuse me, ma'am"
"Pardon?"
"Excuse me"
"Yes" As she walks back to address him the whole entourage has to back up down the line.
"Do you like football?"
"Not particularly no, why do you ask?"
"Well can I have you cup final tickets then?"

@JeffMurray Like I said, we know all this but the MAGAs cling to the lie that the 60 cases were not heard because of procedural/standing issues. In a criminal case, the defendant is entitled to mount a defence and all their so-called evidence of fraud would be admissible. Unlike the Senate hearing, their expert witnesses that claim statistical impossibilities would be subject to cross-examination and rebuttal witnesses. Their sworn affidavits and eyewitnesses open to scrutiny.
A similar thing happened in the UK with Diana's death. It achieved 2 things. Firstly it showed why you should not let grieving relatives near the judicial system. Secondly, it gave a free airing to all the conspiracy theories and let then shrivel in the light of day. Finding eventually that travelling unseatbelted at 80+ mph through a capital city with a chemically impaired driver can prove deadly.

@JeffMurray This is now but events are still close. After the 20th Trump will no longer have much of a platform. Sure this would have been the case anyway except that now he has no social media outlets. Without 1/6/20 it would have been withering on the vine as he repeated "I wos robbed" as court cases mounted. Now, we have the end result of his ideology to point to. Rather like the Sid Vicious version of "My Way". It is disgusting but its what happens when you go down that anarchistic road.
There will be as there already are many attempts to blame Antifa or BLM for 1/6/20 but as the court cases unfold it will be impossible to maintain. As too will the libel case against Powel by Dominion.
273kelvin comments on Jan 9, 2021:
Okay, let us imagine that the authorities did their job properly and security had been beefed up the way it should have been? What happens next? After a night-long pissing contest at the barriers, The MAGA hats go home and Trump remains.
The GOP is left with a volatile idiot waning star.

How do you feel about Parler being removed from the Internet?

I know very little of Parlor and certainly would not use it. I'm not in favor of anything Trump and never was from the beginning.

@Admin Trump got more media coverage than any politician or personality in the history of media. Hardly a single day in the past 5 years went by, without Trump being on the news for some reason or other and I live in the UK.
I suggest you watch "Death to 2020" on Netflix. In it, a comic version of Kellyanne Conway played by Lisa Kudrow talks about how conservative voices are being silenced, "I've said it again and again how conservative voices are being silenced. I said on CNN, on ABC, Newsmax, I said it twice on fox and in my bestselling book "How conservative voices are being silenced".

Trump has nearly half of the $300,000,000 "legal fund" but that is listed ascampaign funds. With NY and the feds likely to be on his financial ass, there is no way he can get at it. Meanwhile, the RNC gets the other half, sweet.

Okay, imagine a trophy wife with a prenup. She cannot leave or fuck the pool boy without losing all the money. So she sets hubby up to screw the babysitter in front of the PTA. The divorce judge will set aside the prenup so she can fuck anyone she wants and still play the aggrieved party.

273kelvin replies on Jan 9, 2021:
Watching your countries stupidity.
Trump is an idiot, this much we know but there are others that are not. Can you think of a better exit strategy than what has just occurred?
I am not one for conspiracy theories but this struck me.

Don't forget the local cops -- the anti-democrat, own-the-libs, right-wing, cops.😡
Edit: Change that to Capitol Police and local cops.
273kelvin replies on Jan 9, 2021:
Of course, the cops were in on it (well some of them). But who allowed it to go ahead? A prima facie case of conspiracy against Trump and the cops is easy. What is less obvious is those in authority who may have known (and who could not see this coming?) yet let it go ahead so it would be an epic fail.

ChestRockfield comments on Jan 9, 2021:
Except we're not hearing support from Senate Republicans for conviction of impeachment, so that doesn't sound like it could be right. They could easily condemn the behavior and pledge their support for removal but they haven't and they likely won't. They still support him because they are disgusting...
273kelvin replies on Jan 9, 2021:
Some Senate Republicans have endorsed his impeachment but even if most have not. His removal as a force in politics benefits them all. "Jeez, that's really shitty bud. Just wait till I find the rat that snitched on you. Don't worry I will visit you in jail and sure I will take care of Mary"

@dalefvictor We know that but my ex is not particularly religious yet still tries to keep to most of the rules. Even if she was religious. It is totally disrespectful to another's beliefs to impose yours upon them. Also if they knew a little about the roots of their own religion? Then they would show more respect for strangers beliefs.

IT WILL BE A MISTAKE TO BE DISMISSIVE OR LAUGH AT WHAT TRUMP IS DOING.

273kelvin replies on Jan 6, 2021:
"70 million followers" are you sure about that? 70 million voters, yes but followers... now? This is perhaps the biggest lie that Trump has slide past everyone. Of course, he does have a big vocal base but at best it is only 35% of the electorate. The rest is made up of straight up and down republicans. Evidence from the elections actually shows that he had LESS support than the GOP as a whole. Now with the assault on the capital, I can see that most honest to goodness patriotic Americans (and yes some of them are Republican voters) would be reviled by this mob.
Everyone assumes that Trump won the election for the GOP in 2016. I maintain the GOP won the election for Trump and given the awful candidacy of Hillary that Cruz or pretty much anyone could have beaten her by a bigger margin.

@Flowerwall Firstly, senate hearings are not the same a court of law. Rules of evidence, cross-examination, witness credibility and perjury laws do not apply. If one casts ones mind back to the McCarthy hearings, then you can see how it can become a kangaroo court.
Secondly, without being in the court where judges have made their decisions., based on the rules of evidence. The best we can do is take others word. Especially if those people have no self-interest or better still interest in the opposite conclusion than what they came to. Like for example Republican-appointed judges or Trump-appointed officials like Krebs and Bill Barr.
Let us also bear in mind how far ahead Biden was in the polls. Now polls are not votes and they have been spectacularly wrong in recent years but many had Biden ahead by more than 10 points. Considering Trump's disastrous handling of the COVID crisis, his 1st debate, and all the reports of "suckers and losers" "I don't get it, what was in it for them". I personally would be looking at Republican voter fraud, rather than Democrat.
