I like hearing that about the border, but I'll believe it when I see it.

So? It was leaked. I read the stories done on it. These halfaresed journalists IMPLIED it was lies by saying what Trump didn't say..mlike any of that matters. They couldn't attack his statistics and facts in his speech so they deflected deflected deflected.

For those of us not listening could you cover the fascism aspect?

Mostly the cheering. LOL!

The rest is "Rule of Law" stuff.

Enforcing EXISTING LAW doesn't make Trump 'fascist'.

Good grief.

oooooooooooooooo, the PURGE!! lol!


Good one!

It exist only in the heads of those who mention it.

He's talking about the rule of law. Apparently, following the law is now fascist.

He is using the LGBT only in connection with foreign terrorism, not addressing LGBT domestic concerns.

Yeah I laughed when I heard that token gesture.

a reply to: introvert

And even the supposedly aware ATS crowd sees nothing wrong with a presidential candidate with a platform of fear, police empowerment, screaming for a rise of law and order and promising to make America SAFE again.

I can't take them seriously when they cant even acknowledge the obvious.

This idea that we don't recognize something when we see it.

You are basically seeing the same thing we all likely saw 8 years ago when we watched Obama rise. However, I'll bet you saw nothing wrong with it them and see nothing wrong with it now.

If it's not wrong, then it's not wrong. It can't only be wrong when it comes from a quarter you don't agree with.

So you're saying Trump-worship is the same as Obama-worship? Yes, I stated that several posts ago.

Any worship of a politician is dangerous; whouldn't that be your argument about Obama?

Doesn't it hold then for Mr. Trump?

When terrorists start targetting the LGBT population on our soil for the same reasons they do on their own turf, I would think that terrorism would be a domestic concern of the LGBT population.

Amazing how Trump's not the least bit nervous, and even loose, even with the entire world watching him via all sorts of media outlets. I'm CERTAIN that this will be the most widely watched acceptance speech in history!

So, nationalism and isolationism is good? Was that the big point of this speech?

So its brexit in US form?

I feel like he is trying to play the same game they played in the UK.
