PCCABE Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 American dude Donald Trump has stated no more Muslims should be allowed in his Country. They would be better off not allowing Donald Trump back in the next he leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Seriously it says loads about the US democratic process.......................... how could this guy be even considered a potential candidate, never mind the front runner of the Republican movement?

bluto Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Private Eye had a great cartoon this week that sums up how some Americans (and Trumpet) now view their land. It showed the Statue of Liberty giving "all those who are heavy-laden", the finger.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Aye, loved him pulling up Obama - barracking Barak, I suppose - about the US not having any Muslim sporting heroes. Ironic given he received an award from Ali at one point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedflanders123 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Had to wince at the thick bugger who said "ship them all back". So how does that work when, like the majority of Americans, they were born in the USA? Ship them where? The ignorance of many in that country tells you why many outside the USA hate them.

oaksoft Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 The frightening thing is that the more controversial he gets the more support he appears to get. The truly frightening thing is that there is no entry barrier to politics in this country either. Someone like You or Reynard could easily get into a position of enough power and influence to cause some serious damage. That is what keeps me awake at night.

Kendo Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Leave Donald alone, after all the presidential election is usually boring with all the talk about taxes and deficit reduction blah, blah, blah. Donald has given it some glitz and zest with his talk about building walls etc. He is an excellent example of how we value and allow free speech in a democratic society. When someone loses it they are laughed at. In other countries you would be thrown in jail. The presidential race wouldn't be the same without him.

Kendo Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Donald Trump as President and Boris Johnson as PM. It couldn't happen, could it? With Jeremy Corbyn leader of the Labour Party the door is open for the Tories to get in with just about any leader. However there is no way oor Donald will get anywhere near the White House.

Stuart Dickson Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) The thing I find interesting is that it's taken a slur on Muslims before people in the UK sat up and took notice. Six months ago Trump was banging on about building a wall right along the Mexican / US border to stop Hispanics from bringing "drugs, crime and rapists" into the US. He threatened then to send "them all back". Where was the hand wringing back then from the Socialist elite in the UK? Where was the outrage in the US? All that happened was Trumps popularity grew. Are Hispanics not just as important? Or is it just that people in the UK aren't that bothered about Hispanics being slurred, but we're shit scared of a backlash from Muslims? I haven't agreed with Trump on the vast majority of his Trumpisms during his campaign. However when I was in the US in September he was calling one thing right. He called on the US and the UN to ignore the Assad issue in Syria and to side with Putin in creating a united front against Daesh first. Not one other politician in the US was prepared to back Trump in TV yet a few short months on and that's almost exactly how the world has moved. Assad is a thorny issue but we do now seem to be doing our best to ignore it, at least until we've dealt with Daesh. Trumps got the money to go it alone even if the Republican Party force him out. I believe tonight that Trump is threatening to do exactly that and to go independent. But those who look across the Atlantic with disdain would do well to look far closer to home. Here we've got a rise in dangerous Nationalism both in England where UKIP seems to be the England version of the SNP and here in Scotland. As we are quickly finding out those parties haven't been all that fussy in who they promote to the top of the tree and some seriously reprehensible people are now MP's as a result. Those dangerous Nationalists sit on the opposition benches, alongside a Labour Leader who's espousing quotes from a murderous dictator, Enver Hoxha, who is believed to have been responsible for around 100,000 people dying in Albania, and we've got a Shadow Chancellor who thinks Chairman Mao's little red book is the political bible. Thank f**k for the sanity that is David Cameron. Edited December 9, 2015 by Stuart Dickson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's known as a non sequitur, whatever the shortcomings & misdemeanors of individual SNP politicians are (and they should be exposed and the dealt with appropriately) the philosophies of UKIP and the SNP are completely different.
