The Donald vs Big Tech

[Pedrito]

I'd say big Don would give any man a run for his money. He threw up 100k for a ride of Stormy Daniels and I have to say more power to the man. There's lads his age have long given up on life, slipper and pipe and occasional trips to the local Centra for a packet of Hob Nobs, and there he is going in face first on a young lady who has seen more pipe than the Wavin factory in Balbriggan, and a fine yoke to boot. All this while married to the luscious Melania. And they thought Covid would down him. No chance. Time to get out the elephant or gattling gun and even then I'm not sure he'll be downed too easily.

Had a look at Trump's twitter there out of curiosity, and not picking anything in particular out of it, but is there anything that Republicans and Democrats agree on at all? Or do they sometimes agree outside of the election cycle? Seriously polarising stuff from both.

Also, did see a graph of Californian incarcerations broken down by race there and while it was heavily biased towards the black community, what struck me most was just how many people the US puts in prison. It's frightening.

A quarter of the world's prison population is in America I believe. Loads in jail too for possessing a small bit of marijuana. Ridiculous. Sure prison is big business over there.

I always figured it's a bit like Fianna Fail and Fine Gael over here, essentially the same party but will always go against each other because they're in opposition.

Israel would be the main thing they'd always agree on, I think both tend to roll out the 'greatest ally' opinion.

Yeah, it's crazy how both parties here pretty much implement the same policies no matter what, but tear strips out of each other to see which one will get to do it each time.

The divide in the US seems so entrenched that it borders on dangerous at times, flinging around lies about one thing or another until nobody knows what is even close to the truth of anything. They could really do with a third major party over there to look at policies from both sides worth implementing and basing a manifesto on that, rather than "the other side is wrong" no matter what. Maybe it would be a unifying force if a party based their policies on positive ideas from each side and rather than instinctively opposing things, simply questioning them out to see what could work. A bit of balance is badly needed in politics, here and there. Probably wouldn't work though given how fervent the support is, and how personally defining the red or blue seems to be over there. To be fair to O'Bama, he seemed to at least attempt to be a unifying force at times, but for all I know so did Trump but the media didn't bother to cover it, such is the bias against him over here.

Israel would be the main thing they'd always agree on, I think both tend to roll out the 'greatest ally' opinion.

Actually yeah, now you mention it. What gives with that?

Melania is a phenomenal looking animal. I wonder what she sees in that stupid, fat, ugly multi- billionaire.

Likely something to do with donations and financial backing. I think for instance Sheldon Adelson is the biggest single financial backer of Trump, he's projected to give something like 200 million to the 2020 election cycle. Criticism of Israel would mean Trump kissing goodbye to that.

Just don't mention the USS Liberty.

Also don't mention the FBI investigations that were stopped  regarding their Allies activity on American soil

Fun fact: Some of the worlds most innovative dance comes from Israel. Google "Dancing Israelis" to find out more

Black voices for Trump must be fairly unpopular going about their business. The question in my mind is has Trump been bad for Black communities or simply the same as ever, or has he improved their lot over the last 4 years? Some cacophony the whole thing. I can only imagine how confusing it must all be for the undecided US voter.

Interesting to see the facebook and twitter ban on anyone posting about the Biden emails and the New York post article from Wednesday. Makes me really curious to see what else they pull from Hunters hard drive over the next few days.

Well seeing as supposedly the FBI have had the hard drive for a while id imagine they would already be out there. One nugget from the story in the New York post (such a reputable publication lol) is that the guy im the store helped the FBI get data off the hard drive. The FBI needed technical help from the owner of the store. You couldn't make it up.

Big Don giving any man a run for their money ❤️❤️❤️
