TBH i have no idea what's the deal with Trump.

All i know is that he wants to shut/strengthen the border with mexico... which is something a free country is fully entitled to do especially since USA has no legal obligations towards Mexico.
If Germany decided to lock its border with Poland and kick out poles who are already in that would be worthy of an uproar because both countries are part of Schengen and the EU and tied to EU law.
US on the other hand is fully entitled to lock down any border they damn please.

He wants to build a big wall to keep the mexicans out.

Over 3000 kilometres.

He also wants to ban all muslims entering the US.

And has said that women who had abortions should be made pregnant again.

To his credit, the last one's pretty damn original. I couldn't have thought of it, unlike most of the nutsy right wing policies we get in Britain.

[Sinistar]

What if we put it this way - Trump is a person who's idea of getting to as high position of power as possible is to use lies, slander, be cynical nitwit and populist lean-the-way-wind-is-blowing smuck. The sad part is the world of today seems to be full of various "Trumps".

The saddest part is people are prepared to swallow down openly rotten politicians if it means replacing the older not-so-openly-rotten ones.



Actual wtf: spent probably more than 1 hour checking various airsoft internet shops, salivating and making mental list of things I would like to buy.

And I don't even play airsoft for 5+ years now. And I have no idea if clubs I was in even exist any more. Or if I even want to be involved with airsoft again. I just want to buy a bunch of plastic/metal imitations of killer instruments to satiate my inner man-child.

plz send help

This is why God invented Call of Duty.

That is actually really imaginative. +1

Eh, Trump is an eejit. But I think the Trump Hate is getting a little out of hand.

Yeah comparing him to Hitler is pretty silly. His rhetoric isn't racist; it isn't even anti-immigration, it's anti illegal immigration, which is actually pretty fair.
The most bigoted thing he says is the anti-Muslim thing which he insists is temporary until ISIS, etc. get carpet-bombed. Stupid, but not Hitler-level by any means.

[NJW2000]

He seems to be getting power in a similar manner to the Nazis/Hitler

-populist promises: says anything
-xenophobic aims
-wants a return to traditional values
-mix of left-wing ideas thrown in (protectionism, not using cheaper foreign labour)
-the above with a strong hatred of the left, disgust at unions etc
-being flown about the country and maximising his media impact to reach as many people as possible, more so than other candidates
-cult of personality
-promises to make [relevant country] great again
-total and unreserved promises that him coming to power will make everything as good as it could be
-says pretty much anything for attention
-changes his policies

... that list was longer than I realised it would be...

Surely this cannot be real.

Every time I hear of someone hating Unions...

I just go "Ok, how are YOU going to protect the interests of employees?"

If Unions are bad then they are a necessary evil.

Usually, those hating on unions are those who don't care about the interests of employees (so, employers).

Or those angry that many unions have turned into the same sort of parasitic, rigidly hierarchical organizations that they were formed to combat.

[NullForceOmega]

Or those upset that the presidents of several unions are paid as well as the 'corrupt' company owners and CEOs they supposedly exist to stand against.

Is this possibly the same woman who got that other guy booted off the flight for speaking Arabic?

[TempAcc]

I cant think of a single place in the world in which unions weren't, at one point or another, tied to corruption and bribery, tbh :v
