It's actually an honest question, rather than rhetorical this time. There seems to be some targetted domestic terrorism going on here and we've heard nothing at all. I don't get why.

You'd think if someone was doing something this sick to make a point, the least they'd actually do was make a sodding point.
Guest FriendlyRam Posted 20 March 2018 Posted 20 March 2018 Apparently called Putin to congratulate him and they talked Syria and Ukraine, never mentioned the poisoning. Can this w***** make it anymore obvious he's in Putins back pocket? very much on his side that is for sure. Scum!

Tbh given that the targets were all black or Hispanic I don't think hate crime can be ruled out. And I take back what I said before - Trump did remark previously on the "very sick individual or individuals" who were doing this, so fair enough.
leicsmac Posted 21 March 2018 Posted 21 March 2018 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43490247 And now we have a name, and a possible ideology.
Guest FriendlyRam Posted 22 March 2018 Posted 22 March 2018 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/22/us/politics/john-dowd-resigns-trump-lawyer.html Even his lawyers are jumping off now. I still find it hilarious how Trump supporters defend him.
leicsmac Posted 23 March 2018 Posted 23 March 2018 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43512175 Introducing the new national security advisor after McMaster got the boot. Seems like an...interesting guy.

Seems like an...interesting guy. Honestly, my greatest fear is that Trump might try to start a war in North Korea or Iran to improve his popularity (everyone loves a war-time president). Bolton posted an OP-ED in the WSJ a month ago advocating for a pre-emptive strike on North Korea before they can develop ballistic missiles and nuclear technology to strike the United States.Now the guy is the national security adviser. Not to mention he was a huge advocate of the war in Iraq because of Saddam's "WMDs."

With a combined age of 146 presumably it would need to be short rounds. Donald " the anti Hispanic causing panic" Trump Vs Joe "Bonecrusher" Biden

leicsmac Posted 24 March 2018 Posted 24 March 2018 Also: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43526413 March is today...not sure how much it will actually achieve in terms of longterm results, but it's still good to see.

It will achieve nothing. 75% of americans could agree and yet the NRA would line some pockets, support some campaigns finances and they would point to the 2nd amendment and repeat. Americans wont ever move forward when they are stuck in the past. Lost cause. Also, this is not just on trump as other presidents and politicians etc have failed to act.

I'd like to play the idealist on this one and say that the backlash this time is rather different to other incidents of a similar type in the past in that it isn't going away...but yes, the NRA have real lobbying power and that's damn difficult to overcome.

I dont disagree. I just find it hard to see how they will win this one. One can only hope the younger generation never lets this go as they will all be voting age this year or within the next 2 to 3 years.
