US Politics

[DanH]

I only speak for myself but have no interest at all in slinging mud at anyone!

I do though have an interest in calling out lies, objecting to divisive politics, poor morals and a lack of respect for others. If some of my comments hit marks on you then best take a look in the mirror before handing out more juvenile insults.

Enjoying this parallel universe where you and I are the ‘racist’ ‘mudslingers’.

Must be another site where every other post is whinging about immigrants and how white people are supposedly being killed off, and those that aren’t are some dig at you.

He really is just evil scum

Be specific, like really specific, why does this make him evil scum?

Time for a break Dan 😉

Just imagine what would have happened here if the same video was posted from Keir’s account with Kemi’s face.

Kamila Harris got off lightly in the video…our American friends have a far worse ficticous image for Michelle…

They aren’t! Morals and lies are universal in any civilised society.

It’s where someone’s morals start and end and the effect of a lie to an individual which create the opinions

A post on the president's personal social media page depicting a previous black president and his wife as monkeys.

There is so much faux rage over race and many with an axe to grind who play the card at the drop of the hat. But...

A standard racist trope and a post that could not have been posted without someone senior giving it the nod. But some poor junior staffer who probably knew nothing about it has been chucked under the bus to save the faces of those who actually posted it.

It's highly offensive. Like something I would expect from the KKK circa 1920. Astonishing you think otherwise.

If it were such a non story the post would not have been removed and the false attribution made.

It is is just another manufactured outrage from the left trying to paint everything as racist.

The post was clearly a meme or something innocuous that got twisted by people with an agenda. If it was so "highly offensive," why are we even debating it? Mistakes happen on social media all the time, especially with a busy team handling things. Blaming Trump directly is just lazy gotcha politics. 🤷‍♂️

And let's be real the only people that are racist are the ones who correlate monkeys with black people. Why assume that's the intent unless you're projecting your own biases? The post got removed out of caution, not because it was some KKK-level scandal. Move on 👍

Anyways disgraceful and racist behavior by palace fans......there's black millwall players and fans. I'm sure you were equally outraged seeing this?

Hahahahahaha. Are you genuinely trying to conflate this with the video posted to Trump’s social media?

Oh my.

You can think whatever you wish about her. That’s your right. Her’s was that she could protest.

Law enforcement officers have a duty not only to apply the law but also to respect the law. They didn’t. That truly is the long and short of it.

She wasn't protesting, she was physically obstructing using a vehicle. She got what was coming, FAFO

 

[Spindle]

There was a solid reason for its closure and several attempts to reopen it. It’s a deep mine whereas the ones in China and SE Asia are open cast and cheaper to operate. Building a strategic resource for ourselves makes some sense but whilst we can it will still be cheaper to buy on the open market. Doing it for the USA whilst Trump, or his like, are in the WH, makes no sense at all.

I have met one of the last miners to work there. The conditions and the outdated methods sound horrendous. It would take a lot of investment to bring up to date.

A mining expert too.

 

[Spindle]

No mining in Truro itself, but there are some mines not far away. There is a capped shaft in the garden of my rental property. Will that do?

Ah, so you are part of the reason why Cornwall has a housing problem for locals. Who knew...

 

[Spindle]

You are wasting your time with these people. They are weak minded, racist and devoid of any morale fibre. They are unable to look at and assess clear evidence objectively even when put to them in incontrovertible video format.
I suggest you register with the CPFC.org forum site for a sensible conversation.

Ha ha ha. Sums up the BBS exactly, a complete echo chamber of far left radicals. Why are we not surprised you've come from there with your extreme culture war bullshit.

Free Palestine - check
Hate Trump - check
Charlie Kirk had it coming - check
Israeli genocide - check
ICE are fascists - check
Kamala Harris for POTUS - check
Venezuela coup was evil - check
Zak Polanski hero - check
Manosphere and incels - check
Tate and Brand are rapists - check
Equal pay for female footballers - check
Refugees welcome - check
"Racists", "misogynists", "islamophobia" - check

And too stupid to realise that Cornwall here WANTS these arguments, he doesn't actually believe in these causes.

Bye loser.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

I respect this but have you ever called out those that have posted anti-Semitic posts?

I don’t recall any anti-Semantic posts, but would if I did see one.

I recall many claims that a comment was anti-Semitic but was actually anti the current Israeli government or one of its members. Which is a completely different thing.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Ah, so you are part of the reason why Cornwall has a housing problem for locals. Who knew...

Kindly explain the logic for that assertion, because it makes no sense to me.

My properties are all rented to locals at affordable rents via the local council. I am part of the solution rather than the problem.

 

[Spindle]

There’s a lot of people who read these boards and don’t post. I quite frequently get DMs. Just a couple of excerpts from what I’ve had recently:

Mate,I don't know how you are able to take on about 10+ accounts on here that are clearly tapped,racist bigots. Kudos to you!

And:

We just want to say that there are many on here who share your view but just don't wish to get ganged up on them lot-most keyboard warriors.

This is meant to be a site for all Palace. The BBS is far more popular because it is far more representative of the bulk of Palace fans in my experience (the HOL was far more balanced c.10 years ago).

You’d be hard pressed to hear some of the opinions of those on here in the pubs of Norwood before and after games. So either the BBS is a better reflection of the average Palace fan, or those that share your views don’t have the balls to air them in public.

No, because I had very similar DMs from the traditional non lefties on the BBS, even from one mod. Difference is I got banned, here you can speak. Those people posting to you are welcome to argue their case.

You don't know what you are talking about.

She wasn't protesting, she was physically obstructing using a vehicle. She got what was coming, FAFO

Of course she was protesting, then trying to drive away from aggressive behaviour. Both of which were entirely within her rights to do. There was no obstruction. The guy touched the car. Not the other way. That he then slipped was his fault. That he then decided to use his gun to kill was totally unacceptable.

Trying to defend the indefensible does you no credit at all. It just makes you look ridiculous.

 

[Spindle]

Have a view that isn’t hard right and get piled on, belittled, abused, and chased off the site you mean.

You have a major issue, calling everything and everyone racist, fascist, far right even though they are the normal majority.

You'll find out election time.

 

[Spindle]

🤣🤣🤣

Such an unserious man.

Had anyone on the *fascist side written this about black people you'd have gone apeshit.

*Your definition

 

[Spindle]

Hard right ?
What is hard right about wanting illegal immigrants to be sent back to their safe home country.

It's how they think. Just look a Minnesota.

 

[Spindle]

Just imagine what would have happened here if the same video was posted from Keir’s account with Kemi’s face.

I don't think anyone is defending Trump on this, but there is blatant hypocrisy

 

[Spindle]

I respect this but have you ever called out those that have posted anti-Semitic posts?

No he made some though
