SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - US Politics Thread 2021-24

In the news here today I think it was in the news at 3 they discussed this:

https://www.amazon.com/Divider-Trump.../dp/038554653X

When hearing one of their expert-Who is not what I would call neutral when it comes to Trump. I thought Couldn't they have picked someone else one who's truly neutral.

I also thought What is my American friends comment to this book-is it bullock or not ?

Never heard of him or his book but I don't see any value in reading anything from anyone associated with NBC. Like asking me my opinion on the latest issue of Pravda, given the agenda of the source it doesn't really matter what it says.

Thank you for your answer-It didn't surprise me a bit about your standpoint.

Furthermore-The title the Divider-Trump did NOT divide the country the fraction was already there and it was big/huge/massive, when he entered the Oval Office.

What you can discuss is whether he tried to fix this fraction or not.

I won't be buying, or reading it, so no opinion about the book.

President Trump should become the "Beef, it's what's for dinner!" spokesman. That should cause all sorts of problems at home and at the polls for democrats. :D

…Ms. Cheney, vice chair of the House panel investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol, accused Republican nominees who are backed by Mr. Trump of being “more dangerous right now” than their Democratic opponents.

Pretty much the whole MAGA crowd are dangerous to my view. I really don't want to live in an authoritarian theocracy, or idiocracy for that matter.

Hmm, seems like you already do. Face it what you said is very much like what Putin said before he invaded Ukraine. How many people were beaten just for wearing a hat with a campaign slogan on it? It is just a simple campaign slogan you know, no different than Yes We Can, Time For Greatness, or Build Back Better.

The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.

That's been part and parcel of society since... well, forever.

There's no excuse whatsoever to use violence against an opponent or their love ones.

Quote:

A spokesman for Ms. Pelosi, Drew Hammill, said in a statement that “an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi” on Friday morning. Mr. Pelosi, 82, was hospitalized but was expected to make a full recovery, Mr. Hammill said.

So excuse to blame this on Trump either. From what I have read this guy was equal opportunity crazy.

Even if this man should be part of this maga movement(or what you call it)
I would not generalize. I'm convinced he acted on his own

I'm pretty sure 99,99 % of these maga people are nice people-Like 99,99% of the Dems supporters are nice people.

That's what happens when you legalize recreational drug use.
