In the real world how do people you know feel about it?

the rhetoric around this debate is no different to gay scare stuff

I am saying I am, personally, disgusted by what he wrote. I am surprised other people seem ok with it. But of course that is up to them. If you are ok with it Aaronh that is fine with me. We are all entitled to our opinions.



A trump fanboy saying that.

Amazing.

how about hate preachers in mosques, timmeh - you ok with that?

That surprised you, you thought you had me!

I don`t follow UK politics, (assuming it`s UK related?), don`t know who he/she is

I'm sure Tim will join me in criticising Trump for forcing Stormy Daniels to sign a NDA after their affair ended. How dare he trample on her god-given right to express herself.

Riots and killings going on for months, nadler calls them `a myth`, all dems call them `peaceful protests` and `Summer of Love`, with msm ignoring it. Now, having seen the polls, (they believed the earlier ones! Chortle!), recognising The Don`s ROMPING it, cnn finally broke the silent approval, and called for an end. Few hours later, after MONTHS of it, joe makes his first comments that weren`t in full support of the hyena mobs. What a lapdog! Yet schmolesters think Middle America will vote for this piece of appeasement incarnate?

Third night of the RNC, another patriotic America First blockbuster for The Don! THIS IS ALL OVER!!!

trump into 2.2.....love all this

obvious troll is obvious

Even nance knows joe can`t hack the debates!

I take it you're hoping Biden wins CoT?

From Wikipedia - amazing that this source just reports the facts of Trump’s dreadful lies so deadpan.

Trump has made many false or misleading statements, including thousands during his presidency.[4] Commentators and fact-checkers have described this as "unprecedented" in American politics,[5][6][7][8] and the consistency of these falsehoods has become a distinctive part of both his business and political identity.[9] Trump is known to have made controversial statements and subsequently denied having done so,[10][11] and by June 2019, many news organizations had started describing some of his falsehoods as lies.[12] The Washington Post said his frequent repetition of false claims amounts to a campaign based on disinformation.[13] According to writer and journalist Nancy LeTourneau, the debasing of veracity is a tactic.[14] Within the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency, The Washington Post began a Fact Checker column that tallied untrue or misleading statements, with the database reaching 20,000 on July 9, 2020.[1

Anyone but Trump.

Reporter asks the key question - no answer from the liar of course.

SV Dáte had waited five long years to ask Donald Trump one question: “Mr President, after three and a half years [of Trump’s presidency], do you regret at all, all the lying you’ve done to the American people?”

Confronted with Dáte’s question at Thursday’s White House briefing, Trump responded with a question of his own. “All the what?” he said.

Dáte: “All the lying, all the dishonesties.”

Trump: “That who has done?”

“You have done,” said Dáte, who is the Huffington Post’s White House correspondent. “Tens of thousan–”, he began to say, before Trump cut him off and called on another journalist, who asked a question about payroll tax.

In July, the Washington Post reported that Trump had told more than 20,000 “false or misleading claims” over the course of his presidency.


Speaking to the Guardian, Dáte said that he asked the question because it was the first time that he had had the chance.

“I don’t know why he called on me, because I’ve tried to ask him before [in March] and he’s cut me off mid-question. Maybe he didn’t recognise me this time,” he said. “You know, he has this group of folks that he normally asks questions of.”

It was Dáte’s turn on White House in press pool, and so he had a prominent seat. “I had always thought that if he ever did call on me, this is the one thing that is really central to his presidency,” he said.

Earlier this week, The Daily Beast reported that President Trump had one thing on his mind heading into his Republican National Convention.

The president was telling his closest aides that he was determined to beat his rival Joe Biden in the TV ratings. He was requesting daily ratings for the Democratic National Convention and insisted that his RNC spectacle would demolish their “pathetic” numbers, according to a senior administration official.

In the end, apparently not even all of the unethical pomp and circumstance of a Trump-branded White House as the backdrop of his big speech Thursday night could draw more viewers than Biden’s solemnly rousing speech to an empty auditorium.

According to initial Nielsen numbers, President Trump’s speech Thursday night drew 14.1 million viewers across the three broadcast networks and three major cable news networks. That is more than three million fewer viewers than the 17.5 million who tuned in to watch Biden’s speech one week earlier.

When those numbers are expanded out across nine broadcast and cable networks, Biden still beat Trump by a fairly wide margin, 23.6 million to 21.6 million.

At 70 minutes, Trump spoke close to three times as long as Joe Biden, whose DNC speech clocked in at 24 and a half minutes. It was the second-longest convention speech in modern American history—after the 75-minute speech Trump delivered at the 2016 RNC.

Fox News Hosts Trash Trump’s ‘Flat’ RNC Speech: It Was ‘Far Too Long’

Biden’s DNC beat Trump’s RNC across the board on all four nights, starting with former First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech on night one, which drew about 18.7 million viewers compared to 15.8 million for Donald Trump Jr., Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and others on the first night of the RNC. Night two was closer, but headliner Jill Biden still edged out First Lady Melania Trump, 18.6 million to 18 million.

On night three, Vice President Mike Pence not only lost viewers compared to the previous night but also came in far behind the Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris. While approximately 15.7 million viewers watched Pence, about 21.5 million viewers tuned in to Harris.

In fact, while the DNC’s ratings generally grew night by night over the course of the four-day convention last week, the RNC’s numbers appear to have stayed flat or even dropped as the week went on.



None of this stopped Trump from tweeting Friday morning, “Great Ratings & Reviews Last Night. Thank you!”
