From last night it seems his solution is either bombing Mosul to oblivion or sending assassination teams into Mosul.WaspInWales wrote:Trump also says:

Given that the US are sh*t at covert ops I'm assuming he'll go for the bombing solution.

If they bomb Newport Pagnelll then the fall out will be terrible.

Re: Trump
So the Republicans are tearing themselves apart, as they trip over their own feet in a rush to unendorse Trump, and some are now calling for Mike Pence to be made the GOP nominee. Hahahahahaha.
Also, Mark Burnett, who produced The Apprentice, is under pressure to release the "much worse" that Bill Pruitt (who worked as a producer on the earlier seasons of the US version of that show) referred to in a tweet he made when the "grab them by the pussy" tape was leaked. The much worse, according to another former member of the production team involves Trump either referring to someone as, or casually using the word "nigger."
Oh, and Rosie O'Donnell called him an "orange anus" in response to Trump namedropping her in a disparaging fashion again.

Re: Trump
Burnett's crew have had to sign NDAs that make them liable for around $5million should they break it. Plus, NBC has been accused of being a bit too cosy with Trump. Mark Cuban's name has been floated as someone rich enough who dislikes Trump enough to foot the bill for whomever passes the tapes on, so watch this space, I guess.Lizard wrote:I'm calling it now.

Re: Trump
I know about the $5M penalty clauses. I'm not expert enough on US law to know how enforceable that is. Enforcing that would at least require identifying the source of the leak, which might not be straight forward. The PR angle would be difficult to deal with as well, if the footage is as damning as rumoured.
There's also this, https://www.gofundme.com/sunlightfund, which would seem to put the organisers at risk of an inducement to breach contract suit.

Re: Trump
I knew it was a set-up as soon as it became apparent who the candidates were going to be. This election, if nothing else, is really showing up how the media is manipulated in the US, and how stupid the public really can be. What is clear is that the public would far rather engage in juvenile egg-throwing at a made-up candidate due to his sexist (I'm not fashionable enough to use Greek words like "misogynist" in place of plain old English ones) views and behavior. Meanwhile the most sexist nation on earth is massacring civilians (including many women and girls) in Yemen with weapons America and Britain sold to them; the Democratic nominee having served as an 'agent' for the former. But do we hear anything about this from the public? Is it just that they don't know, lack the brains to figure it out, or really just don't care?kk67 wrote:It's all wank, Rowan is right,....it's just a cheap patsy.
The new evidence provided by Wikileaks’s Podesta files makes a convincing case that the Clinton team wanted extreme Republicans as the best possible opponents. They wanted not rational discourse but exactly the kind of mean-spirited bigotry that Trump has delivered so well.
The Wikileaks documents are a window into the soul of power. We can see how the Clinton machine played the strategy of triangulation on the level of action and tactic.

No, it's actually American-English, coined by a Pauline M Lee in Pennsylvania in 1965. Sex is Latin - the word, not the concept - but the Romans never accused each other of being sexists or sexistas every time they wanted to win an argument...Lizard wrote:"Sexist" is Latin, not English...

It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.

Re: Trump
I actually read a very interesting book recently about how Greeks argued. To be fair, none of the classical figures of rhetoric discussed involved accusations of sexism/misogyny.Coco wrote:Only when they wanted to win an argument.Lizard wrote:Did ancient Greeks accuse each other of "misogyny" then?rowan wrote:

Re: Trump
They may well have. It's a Greek word (although the modern version currently in vogue in English may well be a variation).Coco wrote:Only when they wanted to win an argument.Lizard wrote:Did ancient Greeks accuse each other of "misogyny" then?rowan wrote:

Sexist is not a Latin word. It was invented by an American in the 1960s making it American-English, as explained. So there was no chance the Romans used it.
