Nothing I posted above that he's doing is good for America.

He's not actually concerned about what he can do for America (as long as he can spin it so that he doesn't look bad), he is only concerned with what America and gullible Americans can do for him.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what your country can do for me.

Funny, E-promote. Except for #1 in your first post, in all 3 posts you could have been talking about Obama. Please let us know which person you are referring to - otherwise it gets confusing.

It would be clear to anyone that is sincere who I was referring to, I guess like Trump you are obsessed with Obama. What's actually "funny" is that you seem to think that is a valid defense of trump, or some kind of excuse for his dangerous behavior.

Obsessed? I think you are projecting. I simply find it endlessly fascinating that people are unable to see past their emotions and notice very obvious contradictions in their positions. That's politics in the US, I guess.

Will Durst:
What Trump says vs. what Trump means

Most presidents try to avoid controversy by painstakingly parsing their words like a fifth grader conserving an allowance at the county fair. Reluctant to reflect even the hint of a whisper of a shadow of a rumpus. But Donald Trump is not most presidents. He is as singular as a smokestack in a cotton field.

The former New York City real estate developer wields words the way a butcher employs a bone saw. Sometimes revealing more than he intends, such as claiming that reporters... "don't know how to write good." Other times intentionally dropping sticks of rhetorical dynamite into various honey wagons not caring who gets splattered with what.

Our nation's rookie Chief Executive utilizes a special language that is equal parts dog whistle, miscommunication and distinctive code. And usually there's a huuuge gap between what he says and what he means. A divide that we here at Durstco have gone to great lengths to decipher so that regular citizens can follow along in a segment we like to call... What Trump Says & What Trump Means.

WTS. "I have top people working on this."
WTM. He left a message on Jared Kushner's voice mail.

WTS. "I will let you know in a brief period of time."

I see, so you project onto me the image an Obama supporter/defender that contradicts his own positions and is unable to see past his emotions as you emotionally interject Obama (whom you appear to be presenting as the opposite of Trump) into my comments about Trump. Asserting the opposite of a statement made by someone is the very definition of a contradiction my friend.

Your post left out any actual details. Please share how you think Obama and Trump are the same.

Flashback VIDEO: Barbara Walters Scolds Corey Feldman for Calling Out Hollywood Abuse...
Former child actor Corey Feldman has spent years calling out the practice of Hollywood A-listers sexually exploiting young actors who try to make their mark in show business.

A video clip from a 2013 episode of The View where he shares these revelations about the abuse in the industry has resurfaced after allegations came to light that disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed and abused those working in the industry:

“There are people that were the people that did this to both me and Corey [Haim] that are still working. They’re still out there, and that are some of the richest most powerful people in this business. And they do not want me saying what I am saying right now,” Feldman tells The View panelists.

The former ’80s child star tried to explain to host Barbara Walters that he, along with his best friend Corey Haim, had been sexually abused by older, powerful men in Hollywood. Feldman added that he believed the abuse led Haim to drug addiction and ultimately his sudden death in 2010.

“Are you saying they are pedophiles and that they are still in this business?” Walters asks incredulously, to which Feldman replies, “Yes.”

“They don’t want me here right now. They want me dead,” he added.

After Feldman advised parents who want their kids to enter show business not to go into it blindly, Walters cuts him off, saying, “You’re damaging an entire industry!”

“I’m sorry,” Feldman replied.

Social media users immediately chimed in after Feldman tweeted the 2013 clip on Thursday, acknowledging a problem that Walters ignored:

This is proof of how MSM are also complicit in hiding the rot going on in Hollywood.

Remember when Ben 'the groper' Affleck lectured Trump for his locker room talk?

Oh, the sweet sweet irony. This is the same Ben Affleck who wanted his slave owning ancestry covered up...

 

[GILSAN]

Interesting that Hollywood promotes so much violence in their movies, while patting themselves on the the back as peacemakers. What a bunch of fake hypocrites the vast majority of them are.

And interesting to note that the vast majority are Liberals

It's great to see all the Hollywood snakes turning against each other...

1. David Duke has a national platform, you don't need to serve office for that to happen, what an absurd thing to say. See Civil Rights movement. He's on Twitter, he's been on National media etc. He supported Trump, this isn't news, it's been posted here.

Right.. twitter is a national platform. That's a stretch even for you.

3. They don't support violence. Again, you pick the extremes to try to make some point.

The whole democratic party is extreme. The head of the DNC is a Marxist. I don't know if your in denial or just lying to win an argument you lost two days ago.

As far as Pelosi, Warren, I literally quote them, I put it in bold and bigger font for you and you still try to debate this. They both have spoken out against their tactics, fact.

You quote Pelosi after the riot in Berkley. CNN, Slate, Vox, Washington Post are still writing stories trying to main stream their bullshit.

Warren still hasn't denounced Antifa.. Just platitudes you quoted.

And you continue to struggle with the word most. Most don't.

And this is the source of the November 4th stuff, modeled after the Woman's March on Washington.

https://refusefascism.org/2017/08/06/this-nightmare-must-end-the-trumppence-regime-must-go/

The woman's march.. where they excluded pro-life, conservative and anti-fgm activist and praised a communist revolutionary who killed a police officer.

We're just yelling past each other at this point. You can ignore the dead police, the riotous protest and racial division.

The DNC gave up classic liberalism and has marched towards Marxism for the last eight years. Communism is slavery, something the democratic party has a long relationship with.

 

[JB Lions]

Right.. twitter is a national platform. That's a stretch even for you.

Of course it is. Why do you think Trump tweets all the time. It's how he gets his message out, almost 41 million followers. It's ridiculous for you to say you need to hold public office to have a platform.

The whole democratic party is extreme. The head of the DNC is a Marxist.

The whole party is extreme, really?. Your posting is extreme because you can't form any valid arguments.


Again, I quote both Pelosi and Warren and you act like you have some sort of reading or comprehension disability. If I asked you if you like Pizza Hut pizza and you reply, Yes, Iike that pizza. We know you're talking about Pizza Hut. The Warren example. Bold and big font, yet you still struggle.

Alexander Bonds’ anti-cop rhetoric echoes the Black Lives Matter-inspired vitriol spewed by previous cop assassins over the last three years.

The reach a person has on twitter is measured by followers. Trump has millions of followers b/c he had a national platform on a major network, even before being elected President.

Duke has thousands and is a washed up has-been.

Spin, spin spin.

The whole party is extreme, really?. Your posting is extreme because you can't form any valid arguments.

The DNC platform advocates for legal abortion up to the moment of birth. Liberalism has gone from supporting free speech to calling it hate speech.

University professors are being expelled for saying simple facts that men and women are different and there are only two genders. Scientific evidence shows gender dysphoria is a mental illness.

Again, I quote both Pelosi and Warren and you act like you have some sort of reading or comprehension disability. If I asked you if you like Pizza Hut pizza and you reply, Yes, Iike that pizza. We know you're talking about Pizza Hut. The Warren example. Bold and big font, yet you still struggle.

Warren never denounced Antifa. She gave a generalized political answer so she wouldn't upset he base. Pelosi voiced support for Antifa until they rioted in Berkley.

Pelosi forced to backtrack after supporting Antifa violence in Bay Area
https://mediaequalizer.com/melanie-...-after-supporting-antifa-violence-in-bay-area

The bigger question is: What took her so long? Antifa was active all during the 2016 election and has been systematically attacking the First Amendment on college campuses and leaving destruction and injury in its wake. It has targeted Berkeley before. What makes this time so special for Pelosi to finally announce she’s had enough?

Are you in denial or delusional ?

Female Game Developer Fired For Calling Other Women ‘Pretty’
http://dailycaller.com/2017/10/09/female-game-developer-fired-for-calling-other-women-pretty/

 

[enlytend]

For every fellow female who describes their work as "pretty", there are dozens of men who call them the C word, threaten them, make sexist remarks online and in the workplace, harass them or even try to asault them at conferences... for no reason,except that they're women,
That sh*t can make people a little touchy...
She didn't call the women "pretty." Calling a women's tech conference "the pretty side of gamedev" is cluelessly missing the point of having a women's gamedev tech conference.
Firing for that is admittedly extreme, but there may be more to the story.

BTW anyone who thinks all Weinsteins of the world are in Hollywood ...there are plenty of them in the corporate world too. They get away with it because they have power, people are afraid to speak up and HR turns blind eye to it.
