No-one is mentioning Trump's stroke

[CharlotteCChapel]

It's like tumbleweed out there. During the live televised 9/11 remembrance service Trump's face drooped on one side.

No-one in the mainstream media seems to be mentioning it.

Ive only seen it mentioned on IHIP and the Meidas Touch.

Oh how I’m enjoying reading Trump supporters telling people to be kind, rise above, race to the top not the bottom. I might actually die of the sheer bloody irony of it. Trump was elected on a platform of hate and division. Now it’s the left’s problem that there is hate and dividion

So you agree that Biden is nowhere near trump level of narcissism? As it is, many leaders have narcissistic, or worse, tendencies!

It's really easy for men like this to co-opt their daughter's womb and say they would force her to give birth to their rapists' babies, because he isn't the one giving birth. He is not the one who would have his tiny body destroyed.

The fact that you think he is a better person for this vile view says everything we need to know about you. Literally

Your true colours are starting to show.

Sorry? White men? What significance is the colour of their skin exactly?

"I absolutely stand behind what I said. There are people who, unfortunately, the world is a better place without them in it. Here are some of the “highlights” of Hitler’s career and rise to power (keep an eye out to see if you recognise anything familiar):

• Promote a fear of communism and sell yourself as the answer to leftist ideologies.
• Emphasise how your country has been humiliated in the past.
• Exploit hyperinflation to your advantage.
• Blame other races for your problems. Create a unifying enemy through scapegoating.
• Promise a revival of national pride and rebuilding of the economy.
• Hold large, energising rallies.
• Perpetuate middle/working class anxieties: fear of losing status and money.
• Promise to restore your nation’s former glory.
• Use modern techniques to spread propaganda—radio, film, mass rallies, posters.
• Create paramilitary groups to intimidate opponents and give your movement a militaristic appeal.
• Romanticise notions of your country’s national identity.
• Disillusionment with rapid change—industrialisation, urbanisation, cultural change. Offer a “return to traditional values”.
• Use of legal channels (parliament, courts) to gain power to dismantle democracy itself.
• Backroom deals with corporate elites.
• Use emergency powers after an event (Reichstag Fire) to suppress citizens.
• Revoke citizenship of certain individuals.
• Mass deportations.

I apologise if you believe that this is a mark on your twee bingo card."

@PhuckTrump absolutely this ^

He is better than me, because he sees humanity in a rapist’s child. I cannot.

This is what I meant with the MO quote earlier.
Yes Trump and his supporters do, say and believe terrible things but if we retaliate in the same way then we risk all being in the gutter.

It's ironic but it's also deeply depressing. It's the right who've hardened the rhetoric over the past decade, with Trump leading on this - and let's not forget Trump literally inciting political violence in the form of the Capital riots. I'd say he's got a short memory but in his case it could well also be dementia - even so, the brass neck of him condemning political violence now is off the scale.

The hard right love to portray themselves as victims though - it's why they need all those guns.

Shame he didn't see humanity in the 9 year girl

Also, some of us are history geeks who could easily write a long post about various dictatorships without even needing to consult a source. 😁

In what sense? I’m very open about my right-wing views. The only major point of departure is on abortion (I’m pro-choice) and gay rights.

The existing child is more important than the unborn child of the rapist.

Unfortunately, as we’ve seen since Roe was overturned, “mother’s life at risk” is not straightforward, as doctors are scared of going to prison for acting too soon/proactively. A pregnant woman is only offered the procedure once she’s at death’s door, by which time it’s a critical (sometimes fatal) emergency situation.

Unborn child = embryo/foetus

He doesn't care about the child. If he cared about children, he'd prioritise his own child. What he cares about is allowing men dominion over women - in this case, by forcing a woman (his own child!) to bear the child of the man who raped her. That's what male pro-lifers are all about. Misogyny, pure and simple. It's not about children, because the likes of CK certainly don't give a shit about all the kids mown down by gunmen. He said himself that they're just collateral damage.

It’s his own daughter he is talking about. He absolutely considers her?

Besides, you and I know the facts: she’d probably have to have an abortion because her life would most likely be put at risk. Remember, all American states with abortion bans have this exception.

Hold ALL LEADERS to account. This should be a call from the top down saying this is not how diverse opinions are dealt with, but instead the President of America , whatever his motivations, is calling for civil unrest and using rhetoric that INCITES unrest.

I don't do X or bluesky, I prefer to make my own conclusions and judgements. I unsubscribe from inflammatory people who just want clickbait both sides. Of course there will always be mouthy people on but if they were confronted face to face they're often not quite as vocal. They don't represent me or my viewpoint. I didn't like CK or his viewpoints, didn't wish him dead, but he perished on his own viewpoints, gun rights and to have no empathy or sympathy. He just didn't think that that would apply to him only 'others' so don't be surprised if those affected by his objectionable agenda don't have any sympathy or empathy for him.

My mother always said 'choose your friends wisely you become as they are ' likewise i choose who I.listen to. Rational reasoned debate is required especially now. If these mouth pieces aren't encouraged they will have noone to feed off. Delete X and Bluesky if that is what offends, but at least be reasonable and acknowledge trumps divisive rhetoric.

To add its interesting that this has generated more airtime than the shooting of innocent children in schools....it doesn't suit the gun lobby, civil unrest, epstein agenda.

The men we're discussing, T, CK, B, are white, are they not?

Sure he considered her, and decided she wasn't that important. Wonderful.

I agree with you.

Seeing the reactions, I genuinely didn’t realise how pervasive it was across society that people basically agree with political assassinations.

And from people who would presumably genuinely think that are ‘good’ people.

I genuinely think it’s scary.

Any decent parent would not force a child to birth any baby, let alone a rapist's baby.

She was 9, a child.

No nine year old child should be going through pregnancy or give birth.

No, he didn't consider her.

I don’t think you have to be a supporter of anyone in particular to think the current online rhetoric around a death isn’t a good thing.

I can't imagine why it has taken these events for you to notice this side of society. You must have been ignoring it all up to now because it didn't start from the left, this week. Selective awareness is dangerous.
