US Politics

[Wisbech Eagle]

I have just returned from Florida, it seems to be booming. Mega building going on everywhere, plenty of employment, roads very busy. Fuel much lower price than here. Maybe Michael Whitwirth is Floridas answer to Wisbech? So you believe 1 person in FB but when others quote media outlets that you perceive as right wing, they are being taken in and not seeing the full picture. Not sure you really thought about this reply tbh

I am not surprised. I expect the same will be found in other places in the USA, whose economy, despite the perceptions, has recovered from the pandemic better than almost any other nation.

Why is that? Trump’s few weeks of executive orders or years of Bideneconomics?

The poster is commenting on those few weeks of Trump. Not on the years of Biden!

Rubbish! Both are valid.

That’s the point. That there are some in the USA who see things the same as the majority in the UK and the rest of Europe do and who can express themselves clearly, logically and without any hint of political bias.

Which is not the picture that’s generally painted on these pages.

Some people in America don't like Donald Trump. What a scoop.
Posts that appear on here are often not in support of Trump, his personality or his actions, but are critical of certain high-handed attitudes on display.
Incessantly claiming both moral and intellectual superiority might not be the best way of making a point.

Almost all the content here ignores those who criticise Trump in the USA, or try to ridicule them. As is being attempted with the comment I posted.

I rarely read anything critical of high handed actions. They are themselves ignored and people like me accused of being deluded, when the reverse seems true.

I don’t claim any moral or intellectual superiority. That you, or anyone else, thinks that might be the case is an indication to me of a lack of conviction in their own position rather than any comment about mine.

Really? Does this sound familiar?
As everyone with more than 10% of a brain opposes the Trump government...
I don't have a "position" on Trump. Like most I have a position on condescension.

That those on the right see statements they disagree with as bias is hardly surprising. Others see them as common sense.

That they take offence when faced with contrary views is also par for the course. No offence is intended, or present.

The fact is that there are different opinions but that trying to defend what Trump and his backers are currently doing is near to impossible. Whatever your politics that ought, in my opinion, be obvious.

So you never see statements you disagree with as biased? Mmm

there is a wonderful rumour circulating in Ireland.

None of our awful politicians have been invited to the WhiteHouse for St Patricks day. The President has set a new Precedent.


ha ha .................go Trump

They should be celebrating it in their own country anyway. I was always disgusted seeing the Irish politicians going to the US every year for it.

Imagine a US president going abroad on the 4th of July.

Ours just like their free stuff. How many times do we need it proven they're corrupt before we can rid ourselves of these odious turds?

As someone with generally right of centre views, I am appalled by Trump. It is such a shame that the most high profile right wing politician in the world is a man so devoid of integrity and, in my view, wisdom. He is just a thoroughly bad man, as he has demonstrated with his appalling comments implying that Ukraine started the war and that Zelensky is a dictator. For the leader of the free world to trot out the lies of a dictator is deeply scary, and sadly reminds me of his previous attempt to overturn democracy in the world's most important democratic state after losing the election to Biden. He may have some sensible policies, but he is a dismal scab on right wing politics.
