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.

I'm calling it now. The "n-word" tape (if it exists) will be leaked about 2 days before the next debate.cashead wrote: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.

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.

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.
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...

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:

Lizard, how in the world do you have time to dominate the SHMB when you are busy being such a well read, well travelled man?Lizard wrote:I actually read a very interesting book recently about how Greeks argued.

Good breeding, topped off with many years of practice, my dear Coco.Coco wrote:Lizard, how in the world do you have time to dominate the SHMB when you are busy being such a well read, well travelled man?Lizard wrote:I actually read a very interesting book recently about how Greeks argued.

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:
