thplinth Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Bannon seems to be saying Trump has turned. The presidency that got elected is gone or something similar he said... ooph. Also think he provoked his own sacking with comments on NK... I think Trump has turned also. Now will do anything to preserve his 'name'. His desire to always win means everything else is variable, including every promise he ever made. Fortunately I think he will become politically impotent quite soon from now. But then... I think we are in for a huge shit storm on many many levels. There is going to be a lot of really really pissed pf people out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either a willing participant or he's been turned, but even then he would never have been elected president unless the powers that be didn't want it to happen. His presidency will be used to further restrict freedom of speech etc. The media coverage of what happened in Charlottesville has been surreal at times. Admit you agree with anything Trump has ever said now and you're thrown in with Nazi's and white supremacists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisegerwind Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I just find the whole thing hilarious. The leader of the free world for example promoting the idea that executing people in bullets soaked in pigs blood is a good idea. I don't think that's fake news or media coverage bias, he said that didn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Electing a screaming nepotist to drain any political swamp was a flawed plan. His family and (shudder in laws) are worse than him and that is to whom he (seemingly) solely listens. The Saudi mad speech shite, the syria bombings, the telling his intel chiefs to find a reason to rip up the Iran deal... it is like maybe he is shagging his daughter after all. We are fhucked.

ParisInAKilt Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hard to know exactly what's going on behind the scenes but in many ways Trump is the perfect president because he will be solely blamed for whatever goes wrong in the next x years.

thplinth Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The one person in the Trump Camp I always liked is Kellyanne Conway. I only ever saw Bannon speak once on TV with Preibus and he was ok too to be fair. If Conway leaves then that will be it IMHO. She was the real star in this show. Canary in the mine moment if she quits. By the way any arse can just go visit Breitbart. I have been skimming it for a couple of years now and I challenge anyone to find a single racist article or whatever... They just want you to not read it it! So they try to make it taboo. Fhuck em!

Ah, but is there any evidence he isn't? Clearly that multi-millionaire international footballer career was just a front. I bet he was smuggling migrants in the kit hampers.

thplinth Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yep, it's over. The Revolution Betrayed Now it’s Trump vs. Bannon You sense a change in tone on the Breitbart site already. Won't be long until they are ripping Trump to bits. I wonder how long it will take before Trump's base realize that Trump has been turned. The one consolation about Trump was that he was not a war monger (at least that is what he kept telling everyone) but now all bets are off (his ability to do the opposite of what he promised in speech after speech for months on end is spectacular, just ask Anne Coulter for one). If his base starts to turn on him I think the guy could be seriously dangerous and probably now already is. He will try anything to make his presidency into a 'win' somehow. This is someone who would probably prefer to see the world in flames than for him to go out as a failed president or a laughing stock... This relentless assault on the Trump presidency has now created a very dangerous guy. He does not seem to recognize how isolated he is neither. Interesting times ahead I suspect.

Obama said similar things in terms of regulating Wall Street etc and appointed the same crooks to the federal reserve and his inner circle. Maybe after the next democrat president will the penny drop that no government can drain the swamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This relentless assault on the Trump presidency has now created a very dangerous guy. He does not seem to recognize how isolated he is neither. Interesting times ahead I suspect. I think this volte face on Afghanistan is exactly that. The US system of government makes it very difficult for any president to do things domestically if they don't have the backing of congress, the only area where they are relatively unfettered is foreign policy and war is the most extreme and visible manifestation of that. Having probably realised that a pre-emptive full frontal assault on North Korea is a no-no, he probably looks at Afghanistan as a low-risk - at least in the short term - area where he can demonstrate how big his dick is. The UK has largely pulled out of Afghanistan, I think there are only a few hundred troops remaining largely in advisory and training roles. I see Trump is calling for more NATO involvement as well. I don't see any huge support for a large scale UK redeployment and given the current government's shaky majority and all the other pressing domestic and European issues, I can't see them being that keen to get involved. I reckon if they put it to the vote in Parliament they would lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 There's too much mineral, opium and gas / oil money in Afghanistan for the US to ever consider pulling out. Trump just following the Obama and Bush script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISIS is all but defeated there and Assad is going to be considered one of the greatest Syrians in their history. They will I am sure attempt to kill him but that would just guarantee his status. He is quite a remarkable guy to have endured the pressure he must have been under during the real dark days and now to have emerged victorious (with help from allies). Knowing what everyone really knows about who is behind ISIS you really have to wonder who the good guys versus bad guys are here. I think it is pretty obvious to those in the region... http://www.yourdestinationnow.com/2017/09/iraqi-mp-vian-dakhill-details-depravity.html Edited September 11, 2017 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
