I can't say the 'R' word - is he being Politcally correct?

Trump wins because the MSM keep falling for his diversions.

Wednesday expect something new as Mueller testifies.

A reasonable argument (y) i don't have enough knowledge of American economies to comment, i admire the fact hes managed to make some considerable improvements on wages and unemployment, the America first policy whilst sounds good, possibly has a way to go yet before it stops hurting everyone including america!

Its the same old as poor Boris though, whilst he has some imperfections, the opposition want to be in power so who do they aim at first, not long as ago it was "May this May that".

To be blunt Boris and Trump use similar langues, stereotypes etc to keep their voters on side so they can implement horrible economic policies (in the case of Boris, his disasters as Mayor). The MSM falls into focusing on what they say and not what they do.

The same people who voted for Trump are the ones who will be paying more tax, have less healthcare, a dirtier environment etc but the Dems instead of focusing on these real issues are worried about border camps and racist language (it's not an election winner)

Neoliberal policies means that inequality rises until we have a breakdown of society.
 
Serious question, where do you lads/lasses get your information from ? I must admit i’ve become sceptical as i get older and find myself treating EVERYTHING i read/hear with a pinch of salt and believe everything has an agenda attached. P.S. this is not aimed at either the left or right thinkers on here.

Ps, Crime was going down before Rudy, and at an even faster rate than it did with Rudy under the previous Mayor. Some say he was just riding on the wave.

Isn't this funny. Someone you lot don't like does something good.
The predecessor gets the credit..

Its very difficult, you are right almost everything you read has an agenda. Media is written with a bias and we all have a tendency to confirmation bias. Its why politics is so tribal and people dont want to change their mind.

The rise of the internet seems to have created more fake news than ever.

There are loads of sites which call themselves 'think tanks', but what they write is more propaganda rather than free thinking. There are plenty of American tight wing thinktanks -cato institute for example that are biased.

There are some websites that give their views on the level of bias. Also a quick google usually identifies the sponsors for a website.

Despite its criticism, the BBC is pretty good.

And online news, the Guardian is quite good, albeit with a Left wing bias.
The independant is ok.

Factcheck is quite good, but even that has a bit of bias.

Lyndon B Johnson was a former president of the USA and became President after Kennedy assassination.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

This essentially formed part of Nixon Southern strategy to make poor white people vote against their best interests and it still holds true today. Trump may or may not be a racist but the people who latch on and support him when he says these words are because he is 'picking their pockets' whilst they shout "send her back, send her back".

LBJ was a democrat and Nixon was a republican.
 
Boddggddgg likes to post nonsense or lies then later conveniently claim it was "just my opinion" when questioned.

Boddggd is not a credible poster. Ideal RWR fodder.

Isn't it funny. Someone is accused of being unfair because it doesn't fit in with your opinion oh and did I say I didn't like the old Mayor of NY?

Who is 'you lot'? I wasn't speaking for anyone else, so why do you think I did?

You're very good at misreading what someone says and jumping to all sorts of conclusions!!

Don't they call that paranoid?
At least I'm good at something
When I say them. I mean the Others... Dangerous lot.

Your not really part of them
but you sound like them sometimes.

I don't know what you mean about being unfair. It's not a word I use alot.

I also Like Rudy... I would have liked him to one day run for President, not that I know much about his policies, I just like his stance.

Bodd & ellal are two sides of the same coin.

One argues over minutiae and the other makes broad sweeping generalisations.
