TRUMP, What the hell is going on

[Deleted member 18645]

Donald Trump - "Biden is a danger to America".

I can understand why he has said that. I mean, who would want someone to challenge your monopoly on that position?

I like Trumps strategy of saying the only thing that can save us from the current discord and broken society in Trumps America is another 4 years of Trumps America.

So were Hitler and Stalin! As were/are several Middle Eastern, African and Asian leaders!

Are you seriously comparing Trump to Hitler and Stalin?

Whe

Are you seriously comparing Trump to Hitler and Stalin?

When a president talks about cancelling elections and declaring the result of an election null and void if it goes against him; when a president starts on a strategy that makes voting difficult for many who would oppose him; when a president casts his opponent as a real and present danger to the nature and stability of the country; when a president encourages unbadged and unofficial militias and security forces onto the streets to dissuade and put down opposition support and dissent, and when that militia fires upon and bundles protesters into unmarked vehicles - then you can start making comparisons. Because it is dangerous to just ignore these things.

Erm the NZ Prime Minister who seems to be the bastion of the free world has delayed elections hasn't she?
As for the second bit, you've just made that up haven't you

Are the NZ elections able to be adjusted a bit earlier or later (as the UK), or are the dates pretty well set in stone like the US?

Unfortunately I haven’t made any of it up. It’s all either happened or is threatened. Not sure which bit you are not sure about.

The opposition National Party pressed for it, and she agreed. Not quite the approach Trump takes.

If you go to around 7.19 she explains that she gets to set the election date, so sounds similar to the UK's method.

Phew! A little less of my time will be wasted!

And there is the problem. Simplistic one dimensional answers to complicated problems.

My answer is that you can compare Trump to Stalin and Hitler, but that does not mean what you will leap to interpret it as, that I consider them to be the same. There are areas of overlap, though, clearly.

So she is within her rights to do so...nothing to complain about then.

Earlier is always fine. 'Later' has a boundary.
Current election date WAS scheduled for 19/9/20 but has been delayed until 17/10/20. It must be held by 21/11/20.

First it was "the Muslims" are coming to the US to destroy our way of life. Then it was "the Mexicans" are coming here to destroy our way of life. Now it's "the BLM movement" is here to destroy our way of life. Soon, it's the "Democrats" that are here to destroy our way of life. How long before anyone who doesn't worship "me" is destroying our way of life. That sounds more like Hitler than Gandhi to me.

this tweet some it up... The DT is urging the americans that the only way to save America from DT's America is another 4 years of DT... fab.

What is happening with regards to the wall? That was the big Trump plan last time around. Has it just been forgotten, has anything happened? It doesn't get mentioned over here any more.
