Say what you like about the Royals, but Harry does have a genuine interest in this. It was also interesting watching Harry's interactions with the Obamas where they seemed to be pretty friendly, compared to the plastic Mrs Trump.WaspInWales wrote:Slightly off-topic, but Trump's inability to show genuine compassion or understanding for people who are worse off than himself or are suffering with any kind of disability has been completely 'trumped' by someone else born to privilege recently...
Prince Harry. I'm no fan of the royals, but watching him at the Invictus Games on Toronto has been amazing. The way he communicates with people and the obvious enthusiasm for what he is seeing is really heart warming.
Look up that Ben Garrison guy if you dare. It's really quite something. I don't know if these people genuinely think that the hysterical far-left speak for everybody (everybody except the far-right that is) or it's just an easy narrative to work withSandydragon wrote:Ironic is a word that could be used.Son of Mathonwy wrote:The adult in the room....

I'm stunned!!!
You could argue that it doesn't really affect him one way or the other - it's not like he actually pays tax at the proscribed rates anyway.J Dory wrote:So Trump says that the proposed reform that increases tax for the lowest earners and decreases it for corporations, does away with AMT and estate tax "it's not good for me, believe me".
How anyone can believe anything that lying sack of shit says is absolutely beyond me. Lie, blame fake news, move to next lie, (orange) rinse and repeat.
Apparently AMT was just about the only reason he paid tax in 2005. You can be sure this is designed to benefit him and his rich friends.Which Tyler wrote:You could argue that it doesn't really affect him one way or the other - it's not like he actually pays tax at the proscribed rates anyway.J Dory wrote:So Trump says that the proposed reform that increases tax for the lowest earners and decreases it for corporations, does away with AMT and estate tax "it's not good for me, believe me".

The former reality-TV host then shares a story with Stern about the time he thought a man died in front of him during a charity event at his Palm Beach club Mar-a-Lago and, rather than helping the injured man, Trump turned away in disgust at the sight of his blood.
“I was at Mar-a-Lago and we had this incredible ball, the Red Cross Ball, in Palm Beach, Florida. And we had the Marines. And the Marines were there, and it was terrible because all these rich people, they’re there to support the Marines, but they’re really there to get their picture in the Palm Beach Post… so you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old—very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him—he fell off the stage,” said Trump.
Trump proceeds to explain that it was a $100,000-per-table fundraiser filled with deep-pocketed billionaires, and that the Marines were—for whatever reason—given tables in the very back of the ballroom (“the worst table in the whole place”). Oh, and that he was more preoccupied with his ballroom’s pristine marble floor than the octogenarian bleeding out on it.
“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” said Trump. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. ‘Oh my God! This is terrible! This is disgusting!’ and you know, they’re turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.
I mean, that's totally cool right? Not even slightly the sort of thing extremist, authoritarian governments would do.
Trump administration lawyers are demanding the private account information of potentially thousands of Facebook users in three separate search warrants served on the social media giant, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
The warrants specifically target the accounts of three Facebook users who are described by their attorneys as "anti-administration activists who have spoken out at organized events, and who are generally very critical of this administration's policies."
Interesting, but potentially dangerous thinking in assuming that race was a huge determin8ng factor. Yes, there were voters who would not have voted for Obama based on his race and would have voted for Trum. Most likely they voted republican in 2008 and 2012.Stom wrote:I found this quite interesting, all in all:

Not far off the French election either; the Germans headed down the same route too, though not as farMellsblue wrote:Change the names of the actors and you've just described Brexit.Sandydragon wrote:People felt disenfranchised and Hillary just offered more of the same.

But it’s all their fault, being poor and all that. Just more evidence that Trump isn’t fit to be president.WaspInWales wrote:Quite an attack on the mayor of San Juan in PR. Probably not the best move considering how much they're suffering.
From what I’ve been reading of late, I think the democrats are starting to like his presidency. Some deals being made which they quite like. Not sure it will last that long thoughMikey Brown wrote:Have they not just fired this spineless cunt into the sun yet?

He lined up nicely to be cunt of the century; barring an Adolf/JS second coming. Of course, of the likely candidates for that second coming... Trumps front and centre there, just itching to press that big red button (I wouldn't be at all surprised if they've made a big red button specifically for him, rather than reading out launch codes).morepork wrote:Cunt of the decade is his to lose.
