I dunno, what with the way the American right was scared into supporting torture and how they argue that abortion should be illegal because it makes them sad and how they think Muslims should be persecuted to one degree or another because Muslims upset them and make them even sadder than abortion and how they have tantrums if someone doesn’t sing your anthem on cue or treats a piece of cloth in a manner not to their liking or insists that their bigotry towards homosexuals must be accommodated or who’s the real bigot here huh, it seems to me that the American right are pretty needy and want - nay, need - the rest of society to coddle them and give them their way so they aren’t sad. ---

The BBC Youtube channel showed the video of Trump at the U - with no commentary or any words from the BBC, just the plain video and nothing else. Trump supports called it ‘fake news’ and ‘bias’. Confirmation that his support think fake news is anything they disagree with. ---

> [@paulmarkj](#): > > Confirmation that his support think fake news is anything they disagree with. Just like Donny Two-scoops’ belief that “unconstitutional” is defined as anything that gets in the way of what he wants to do. When you claim the 14th Amendment is unconstitutional, is there any hope? ---

If you think Trump gives the slightest shit about you or anyone besides himself, well, then I’ve got a bridge and some land in Florida to sell you, and you’ll definitely want to hear from my friend the Nigerian prince. ---

> [@Tim\_R.Mortiss](#): > > I live in the USA, and I trust my POTUS to look out for MY interests. Which do NOT include making people from other countries happy. They can suck eggs. As long as President Trump has my interests at heart, which he appears to be doing, I don’t give a crap what anyone from other countries think. If you think Trump has your interests at heart, I’ve some really exciting condos to sell you. You’re just the perfect buyer. (Damn it. I should read the whole thread before posting.)
