What kind of person so casually shows complete disrespect for his country in front of a global audience? Fill in the blanks.With fellow citizens like you dissing your own homeland, who needs Fred? - @danfinnTrump explained to the world how the US military are losers and sucker'sNow, what was your question? - @Fred At the level of President he has no choice but to give an honest assessment of capabilities, sending the message that he will fix the deficiencies. But he did not make character judgements such as the US government being "liars" which crosses a line. - @danfinn

BS, Trump is a pathological liar, objectively documented having told over 30,000 during his first term and he hasn't slowed down. He doesn' know what the word honesty means. And yes, he constantly calls Dems or anyone not in his cult a liar without any proof what so ever. He constantly crosses lines of legality, ethics and manners You are in denial of basic facts.

01/31/25 @TominStuttgart  All too true.


“As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” — H.L. Mencken


In 2006 in "Idiocracy", Mike Judge imagined the fulfillment of Mencken's (at the time) almost century-old prediction.  In those pre-Trump days it seemed plausible that the "downright moron" would be like the dim-witted but well-meaning and generally decent Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.  How naïve we were back then! 😁

modern day illegal immigrant slavery is abhorrent for many reasons including the immorality.  - @danfinn I see you're a Democratic type - @Fred


As loyal conservative opposition, (not democrat as per your troll), I have disagreed with our democrat party on illegal immigration.


The majority is currently doing the  most humane thing possible and correcting the situation by closing our Southern border all the way from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America.

I'm surprised you would be injected in the conversation with your link above, especially a CNN link. - @Enzyte Bob

Being CNN, now we know her politics. About as politically  neutral as the other admin,  Fred.

Anyway, I never knew it was a controversy. But I must thank our dear admin. for taking time out of her busy day to fact check me.


I sometimes said in the past (sarcastically) that Philippine Forum needs a fact checker and, voila, here we are, we have one right now.

He doesn' know what the word hoesty means. - @TominStuttgart

Put me on that list,  I give up, what does hoesty mean?  Some kind of slang?

It's called Google- You may have heard of it.

Clicking on the first link that looks right is no indication of political opinion, but might well mean the poster has absolutely no interest past looking after the forum.

Creating enemies is a pointless activity

Fred

Saying that, the thread is a bit pointless anyway as it just reports a Trump lie.

If we opened a thread for every one of his lies, the server would crash. 🤣

@abthree

How naïve we were back then!


As unwitting loyal soldiers of the globalist left, in those days we accepted that whatever government did, gvmt was correct. Only after the presidency of Mr Barack Hussain Obama did the middle class begin to realize the existence of a permanent deep state in Washington where, at some point it realized in 2015 that Mr. Trump's objective was to restore constitutional rule.


Maybe he would do things like expose the actusl corruption in the distribution of foreign aid like $50M in condoms.


People who viewed their own personal fortunes as being connected with an intact deep state, as well as brainwashed progressives such as acedemics from East Coast universities lol immediately took whatever measures they could to discredit this man and in 2025 they haven't stopped. But they lost the battle which is so fortunate for our Constitutional Republic.

Given we know this is just one more Trump lie, why do you bother to push it?

It won't become true is you repeat it often enough, but you run the risk of looking stupid

I did, but US presidents including Trump do not.

That's why the US has started so many 'bully' wars against countries that have no ability to attack the US, and committedso many terrorist atrocities.

"White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found “that there was about to be $50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza". The fact that Leavitt said that is not disputable. CNN disputes the content.

The information source is DOGE. I will accept that statement until it us retracted. It has not been retracted as of today 020125.

You will accept it until you look stupid because it's already been debunked, and not by CNN.

Everyone but the idiot white house says it's a lie.

Fred when you were a youngster did you get in fights?


Myself I never started a fight with somebody that I knew that could kick  my ass. The fights I were in were against weaker kids, once I was wrong.

Most of those military actions included NATO participation, including the UK whuch you may be familiar with. I personally wish NATO would dissolve because they tend to make poor decisions and cause instability in the Ukraine regional conflict (which threatens nuclear war) which we hope Trump can bring to an end. That stupid war was all about NATO. Russia was wrong to invade but why is it that only the US can end it?  As a "bully", the US sure had a lot of support from countries you would not consider bullies including UK  "Terrorist" is your own label for the US. Not surprising but there is no UN resolution stating that. In fact many of our youth died in support of a war against Islamic terrorism but you know that.

That's the definition of a bully. As I said before, it doesn't surprise me as you come over as the cowardly sort looking for a strong leader to support in the hope of hiding his own inadequate soul.

A war the US started by removing the democratically elected government. You appear to have missed that detail out.

Operation menu

Mass bombings against a country you weren't at war with, and tried to hide.


Pope (Indonesia)

This CIA mass murderer was part of a US terrorist campaign attempting to remove the government.


Luis Posada Carriles

The CIA funded his efforts, including downing a civilian passenger aircraft

How many of your terrorists have every been arrested within the US? None - you protect them.

The US is the very definition of a terrorist state.


Of course there have been attacks against the US, but most of them were committed by right wing US terrorists, or by people you have attacked over the years.

You have nothing to complain about because you attacked first in every case.


It's no good crying to mummy bcause the bad man hit you when you hit him first.

Vietnam is a great example of a bully getting his just reward.

58,000 dead US soldiers killed, 1.5 thousand missing (probably blown to bits), and hundreds of thouands injured, and you still got a well deserved kick in the dingle dangles.

That's a lot of dead losers and suckers , especially when your cuntry's forces went home with such an embarrassing defeat.

However, on the bright side, it gives me a laugh when i read how crap you were.

now to your massive win in Afghanistan......

Yes, You're as an example of that weaker person. You're reasoning, comprehension and whit is no match for anyone on this forum.


You make statements and people rebut that statement proving you wrong. So you go on changing the subject. The only sense you make is to yourself.

No they didn't. The people had a valid overthrow, it was their "Orange Revolution". Don't blame the US.

The National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA front, funded the revolution.
