Seems quite simple to me. He gets his jollies from acting like a prick, especially in certain threads.

This thread is proof that it's possible to be both!

He was President. He had his chance to 'rescind'. He failed.
"Yes, the Trump administration did renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement and managed to conclude and pass a successor agreement, the USMCA. How big a change was that? Did it solve the problems critics had identified? Was it any good? Small, no, and no. " (Forbes)
Trump threatened a lot, all as a negotiating policy. He delivered virtually fuck all.
"Righteous indignation" over piss-poor working and pay conditions? Go fuck yourself.
It's amazing innit. The whole "IS v. DOES" distinction just whizzed into the wild blue yonder. Might as well not have said it. And that's just one instance. It's the power of propaganda so it is, it truly does destroy the capacity for reason.
People are absolutely, irrevocably convinced that Trump passed a ban on Muslim immigration, that he said Mexicans are bad people etc. And you can't tell them differently, no matter what. They're just not going to hear it. Reason is a fragile creature.

You're woke too
Really though - you didn't answer. You're really comfortable about Trump's language about Mexican immigrants? You don't think it's racist - because that's the discussion these particular lefties are having with the righties at the moment.
How about similar language about immigrants in the UK? Should refugees be sent back to where they came from in case some of them are violent criminals? And just first generation ones or should we be sending others back because you can never be too safe?

It's odd.
All the sneering at the woke left, aggravating the community here...
If some posters dislikes urban that much, or just see it as a place they can tee hee at the ethos of the community... wouldn't they be better off leaving and finding somewhere more suitable to their hobbies?
It may have been a laugh initially but at this stage? Seriously?

Trump is racist, but the MSM is trying to smear him as racist in areas where he isn't racist, such as when he blames the US's drug problems on Mexican illegal immigrants whom he describes as 'bad hombres'. Which, according to Dwyer, is not racist.
Hope you're keeping up.

Just put them on ignore and then you only know they are posting when people keep replying.

I'm confused, are we talking about Spy, Phil or both?

I put Donald Trump on ignore but it hasn't made any difference.
Ignoring the right wing isn't the answer, imho
Tbf that was partly because he was distracted by his political opponents constantly trying to throw him out of office, put him in prison etc.
But it's true that he could have achieved much more. Presumably he will do so in a second term, should he be allowed one.

This is correct. That people would get upset with someone pointing it out, is actually quite strange.

It's total fucking bollocks that doesn't describe a single person on this thread.
You know, it's almost like you don't get the concept of the dog whistle. But I know you do. So you're actually being a bit of a cunt right now.
I suppose it might be racist, but I honestly don't see why. I've thought about it, but I just don't see it. I asked you to explain it, nothing. I believe it was two sheds posted this link as an explanation, but that just made it worse. Crazy author seems to think that Trump shouldn't be allowed to speak Spanish or something, made absolutely no sense, no help at all. Care to have another go?
Here's Why Trump's 'Bad Hombres' Comment Was So Offensive
In this case Donald, no se puede.

It really does. Just not you.
It's not so strange, it's cognitive dissonance. No-one likes to admit that they've been manipulated into believing something that isn't true, and rather than do so they'll insist that it is true, even when it obviously isn't.

The article points out his "othering" of Latinx/Hispanic/Mexican people.I suppose it might be racist, but I honestly don't see why. I've thought about it, but I just don't see it.

This is a traditional tactic of the right.
And it's not the first time he's done that. His comments about Jewish Americans being loyal to Israel. As being not quite American. Isolating his perceived enemies, setting off dog whistles to get his message across.
Wanting Norwegian migrants rather than people from "shithole countries".
Putting the blame on the Chinese for what he called "Kung Flu".
Not renting out properties to Black American tenants in the 70s.
And of course, birtherism. The othering of Obama. Whatever you think of 44's politics, you can't have missed Trump's attempts to paint him as not an American.
We haven't even gone near his vile actions and rhetoric against women, yet. The "nasty women", how all his accusers were lying and not his "type".
Apart from those he could just "grab" and get away with it.
I think the public should have access to more classified information than it currently does, and Trump apparently agrees.
The way he antagonized the secret services was one of the best things about his Presidency. They've been an unaccountable law unto themselves for almost a century now, and they need to be brought under the control of representative government.

Has anyone on the thread been arguing that he's not a racist?
That says nothing about why the phrase "bad hombres" is racist. Can you help us with that?

Leaving classified material in his jacks and boasting about it isn't quite Julian Assange.

Seriously krtek a houby and littlebabyjesus, you are being trolled to fuck by Dwyer with Spy acting as his stooge. Please ignore the cunt and his little helper.

If you can't understand the article and what the author is saying, I can't help you there.
This is the underlying sickness with the Trump cult.
Can't see the wood for the trees.

No it's wrong. It's what Trump says v what the courts allowed him to do. Trump did not have a change of mind.
I'm not saying he had a change of mind. I'm saying that the consequences of his actions differed from his intentions.

I missed this. The comment Dwyer is referring to here is Trump's "shithole countries" remark. A comment meant about Haiti, seemingly all of Africa, and, for balance, to prove he's really not racist, no sir, El Salvador.
Do you remember what he balanced shithole countries with? The country he'd like more immigrants from?
Norway.
Maybe he just wanted Anders Breivik eh.

Dwyer thinks he's being edgy, but he's actually your embarrassing uncle who has a pretty shaky grasp on anything beyond his doorstep and doesn't see what is wrong with calling people 'coloured'.
