Trump..... (The Sophistry Thread)

[pink poodle]

Not really. The US have been more than happy to kill their own citizens in drone strikes and have turned a blind-eye to scores of 'political prisoners' over the years. For example Chile's dictatorship under Pinochet murdered at least 4 US citizens without any serious censure - one of which was by car bomb right in the middle of Washington DC!
Chile was regarded as an ally against communism at the time so they got a free pass.

Pinochet was indeed close to the us and so is Saudi Arabia. I guess they wouldn't want to upset such a big money source.

Its law for the US gov to warn any citizen or resident they are in danger if they have intel suggesting such.

Agree regards a cit but are you sure on PR?

Sorry, took me a while to dig it up. US Directive 191

Just a random article I found about it.

Yep, seems pretty clear:

The “duty to warn” obligation, which in principle dates back at least several decades, was formally established last month by Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper in Intelligence Community Directive 191, July 21, 2015.

Jim Clapper is in Canberra at the moment (he retired on 20 Jan 2016) and I actually get to spend a couple of hours with him tomorrow, I might ask his thoughts on all of this.

That will be an interesting conversation.

Donald Trump is doubling down on his doubts about climate change, suggesting that the climate could “change back again,” and that climate scientists are politically motivated.

Anyone with that much influence getting the message this wrong needs to be removed from power. Utterly disgusting.

He’s saying what his donors and Fox News tell him to say.

Could all be about to come undone. Those lawyers fees aren't going to be small.

Take it to the Privvy Council and the UN Human Rights Commission.

It helped Assange get out of imprisonment (voluntarily being in a shithole embassy)!

Avenatti on suicide watch.

Why would a lawyer be upset? He's getting paid no matter what, and he has made an absolute fortune for his client in terms of publicity and so forth. Not that expensive to bring a defamation lawsuit, Trump did that a bunch back in the day.

This guy has the worlds greatest intel gather system at his disposal and what, he just pulls theories out of thin air?

He should just get rid of the CIA and the like, he'll be all good just making decisions based on how he feels.
He'll be able to nab the 400kg guy in the basement that hacked the DNC, he can nab Hillary for colluding with Russia, and of course get those rogue killers in the learjets who walked into a Embassy and killed someone, cut him up, then walked out and flew home.

Everyday he finds a new way for me to hate him even more, lord i hope the Dems get control next month.
