President Trump Strikes Again!
164 Answers

This time, he links the death of a murdered citizen, reactions to which are burning his country down around him, to his own self-aggrandisement about the unemployment figures.
He actually says that Mr Floyd will be 'looking down' on him, and that it's a 'great day for him ...'.
There are one or two possible holes in the President's reasoning I feel -
If Mr Floyd is looking down, he may be less inclined to be smiling about the employment figures, he might be pondering why he has been murdered, and what the President is actually going to do about the fallout from that.
Mr Floyd might also be wondering why the President thinks it's a 'great day' for him because … he is still dead!!
Of course, we should not be surprised at this latest nonsense from the President.
The simple fact, which he demonstrates time and time again is this -
President Trump cannot think on his feet - a pre-requisite for any politician at any level.
He is unable to stop what comes into his brain simultaneously coming out of his mouth, and sadly, what does come into his brain in unconnected random thoughts with no sense in them, or link between them.
You can see when he is doing this - first of all he looks right at the camera, which means (oh no!!!) - he has stopped reading the autocue, or any notes he has been given to prevent just such an occurrence as this.
Then his eyes glaze over as he launches into one of his stream-of-nonsense speeches, where he ceases to think at all, and simply says the random words that flit across his mind.
The clincher is the short pause, where even he realises that he has ceased to make any sense whatsoever, and he is simply babbling - again. But of course, he can't have silence, so his mouth starts up again with more of those unconnected meaningless words, and on he goes.
Someone in his administration should be saying "Read this - and only this - do NOT deviate from it in any way shape or form, and when you have read it, stop talking."
The chances are someone does this, but being Donald Trump, he knows better and takes no notice.
The USA is being run by a man whose brain simply does not function normally, and here is proof - again, as if we needed it.

cassa - // When you have to make stuff up or manipulate what is there you know you are wrong. If what he says is so wrong, so out of kilter, so overly racist or whatever ist or ism you’re peddling then let his words stand in their entirety for all to see, without editing without cherry picking bits from this paragraph and bits from that paragraph. But that obviously can’t or won’t be done because in context there is little wrong. //
I don't need to cherry-pick anything from the President's speech - it is there on line for anyone to see.

If you think there is 'very little wrong' in this latest example of the President running off at the mouth, then I wonder about your moral compass, I seriously do.

No, because that spins the thread into oblivion.

The X cop that knows it all, even thinks he knows how the modern police force should be run, calls them wet behind the ears whenever he gets the chance on here. The x cops who started all the race problems in the beginning, but now the armchair expert. He loves the terms nasty, bitter and oxygen when he can't have his own way. :0)))))
Bobbisox - // Andy so you sweep past the 10-46 post on here ? //
As Moderator, yes, in my view it does not contravene Site Rules - if you feel differently, feel free to report it for consideration.
As an AB'er yes - I am not interested in their exchanges.

Have to agree andy-hughes, you are the expert on spinning threads into oblivion. However I am reporting this as it is clearly a case of double standards.

That is yours, mine, and anyone else's choice.
Quite why you feel it is 'double standards' I have no idea, but please don't advise me, it just derails the thread even further, and I am sure you want to practice what you preach.

I'm probably going to get a ton of grief here, but can I just add some context.
Teacake said "I well expect to wake one morning, and the news being he's taken a bullet to the head, one can live in hope."
A disgusting thing to say, to wish death on someone, even someone you clearly despise. Not something I'm going to try and defend.
But I wrote on the George Floyd thread, albeit sarcastically, that perhaps that copper should've put a bullet in Floyd's skull, to appease all the plod's defenders. Slightly different context, I realise, but nobody batted an eyelid.
Just an observation as to why, maybe, groups like Black Lives Matter exist. Okay, as you were.
