So you are in favour of reactionary, right, demagogic wing political policies?

Is he not back doing missile tests? How long until the nuke tests start again?
He still wiped his ass with him. (Obama did nothing.)
Quote
What actions exactly?
You admitted yourself that Bush and Obama "may have"  ::) cooperated with Putin but "they didn't point blank refuse to condemn him under any circumstance."

It's easy to condemn someone. But their actions in co-operating with him undermine any cheap condemnation.

QuoteFeel free to post a similar example.

No, you made the claim - in respect of Bush and Obama. You back it up. I'll wait.

Quote
So Trump HAS NOT been openly hostile to European nations and even the likes of f**king Canada?

The horror. The horror. "The bad orange man is mean to Justin and Jean Claude."  ::)

Nitpicking my arse. Luckily for LGBT people in the US, there is a court system to hamstring Trump and the GOP.
You've just utterly undermined your own claim.

Quote
No history of "race-baiting" policies or rhetoric? Just two anecdotes, one a social media outrage explosion involving an old Native America and smirking kid in a MAGA hat, and an actor whose staging of a fake attack/police report was exposed by Obama's former chief of staff and his police department?

History? Check the history of the Klan, Woodrow Wilson, Margaret Sanger, Jim Crow...
Anecdotes? 2020 Democrat candidates were quick to push the Phillips and Smollett hoaxes.

No, just racists and bigots. People who use out-groups as scapegoats to foment fear and support. You're apparently fine with that.

Again, that very much remains to be seen.

He did make up an insulting name I guess.

Cheap condemnation, if that is what is has been, is still a hell of a lot better than the embarrassing conduct of kissing up to Putin, or the Saudis over Khasoggi or whoever the strongman-du-jour it is who Trump feels intimidated by in person.

I'm sorry, you want me to post an example of Bush or Obama siding with the likes of Putin over their own government? YOU made that claim.

While he is playing footsie with dictators and demagogues.

Seriously, we have to go into Nixon's Southern Strategy, the crossing over of southern conservatives from the Democrats to the GOP in the wake of the civil rights movement, Harlem welfare queens, the acknowledgment from the RNC, the current policies of the GOP, whether its confederate symbols or voter suppression and gerrymandering?

How people are so anti-sinn Fein they criticise them over something that would actually benefit them and their local community, just to get a dig in  :o

ALL of Argentina and parts of Uruguay are without power following a power cut! How does a whole country lose power in one hit?!

Likely a cascading fault resulting from a local problem that wasn't isolated.
The power outage in NE USA and Ontario in 2003 probably affected as many people
