Trump

[Husar]

The classiest presidential candidate ever!

[rajpoot]

So, who's going to get elected?

[Greyblades]

If debate performance is any indication, him.

Rise of the floppy hair blondes. First Trump, then Boris Johnson 2020, you know it will be true.

[Hooahguy]

We are in the end of days.

I love the man and I will vote for him tomorrow if I can.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Once again, where's your proof of him saying that Ayn Rand changed his life?

Why be obtuse with me? Can't we recognize an objectivist libertarian when we see one?

I don't like assigning labels like "Ayn Rand worshipping nutcake" without evidence.

That quote is 100% distilled fascism.

[Greyblades]

Sounds like another elderly politician not understanding new technology, personally im more concerned with the new thought police

[Greyblades]

And its complete bunk.

WHAT'S TRUE: Donald Trump proposed contacting Bill Gates to determine whether specific individuals or groups could be restricted from using the internet.

WHAT'S FALSE: Donald Trump proposed a "shutdown" or "ban" of the internet at large.

WHAT'S Undetermined: Precisely what Trump believed Gates could do, or what specifically Trump believed such a restriction might entail

What were the odds...

[Montmorency]

In other words, it's not bunk and he represents everything that you supposedly deplore about British Internet regulation.

[Husar]

Err, that's exactly what he said in the part I quoted, how does my quote being 100% correct make it "complete bunk"?

I may have jokingly insinuated......oh, I get it.....sorry for being German and not entirely serious.

[Greyblades]

Ah, yeah, I mistook your article for one of the articles i read that "missed" the 'maybe in some areas' part of his declaration.

Sorry.

He represents the taxpayer's money wasted in impossible pursuits?

Even if he is a crony, his success is contingent on how susceptible Republicans are to his message. If Trump wasn't around you would have Carson in the lead as he is just as insane. Is Carson the backup Clinton plant?

Dose it really matter who’s dupe a particular candidate is?

I think anyone supporting any candidate is pretty much a dupe to one extent or another.

You have an out of control government wielding unjust powers in support of Oligarchs who have noting in common with your interests and wonder only which poor choice does the least amount of damage, rather than bother fixing it.

[Fragony]

I hope republicans understand that he is internationally seen as a walking stereotype.

[Greyblades]

Heh.

Admittedly, I feel Trump is more a symptom of Republican politics, not the cause. He is only saying what has been said for the last 16 years (I have followed, might be more). Whilst some try to paint him as a dupe or a fraud, was Sarah Palin one too? Was George Bush Jr? There must be some reason these top Republican figureheads have always been this way and it is because of a large segment of the population actually hold and support these views. The only issue with US elections is that there are only two parties, and it can only be resolved if they decided to split which will be very unlikely to ever happen.

It is like when people were trying to suggest Jeremy Corbyn was a Conservative plant in the UK. The thing is, he isn't, there is a serious and strong support for his type of politics.

[Sarmatian]

I wonder, is this how normal people felt in Germany in the 30's? Who cares, he's an idiot, it's just a momentary popularity, he's gonna lose support soon, he will be decisively defeated when the time comes...

Truth is, Trump may win, and in the best case, he's gonna be leashed and become a Reagan 2.0 or pursue his plans and create a lot of instability in the world.

Hillary is vulnerable. There are scandals, there are close ties with big businesses, her husband's infidelity, lack of genuine accomplishment... So far, she hasn't really been challenged.

At first I thought it was a variant of "phew", but after looking it up I'm just confused.

I think he mean to spell "wow", as if to say: wow, you are crazy.

So,

“Wew Lad” is an obfuscatory expression associated with circle jerking or shitposting,

On March 26th, 2010, Urban Dictionary^[4] user Chunky Milk submitted an entry for “Shit Posting,” defining it as the act of making an unconstructive post on an online forum.

“1: The failure to make a constructive post
2: The inability to add useful information to a forum
3: Worthless overly offensive generally racists posts written in a manner which aggravates others.”

Hence, wew lad.

[Greyblades]

I'm reminded of a quote from a wise man...

[Shaka_Khan]

What were these mild and benign statements? When he said Mexicans coming over were rapists? When he mocked Megyn Kelly as being on her period during the debate? Wew lad

@Greyblades,

CIN wasn't joking. Trump really said those things. You don't live in the States so I understand that you don't know about US politics. I know a Chinese-Australian who was like you. He lacked interest in what I had to say about Trump until I told him what Trump said about China. So he googled. Now he agrees with me. He rants about Trump each time I meet him.

And I think you don't know any Mexicans or any minorities from the US. This is probably why you believe everything Trump says.
