The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

People like Trump made out very well after the recession and were richly rewarded for their fraudulent practices. There was no recession for these people, just a massive transfer of wealth. Another thing, people think trump is so smart yet forget that he started his own mortgage company just before the recession when everyone knew at that point the industry was on the crest of a wave that was about to crash upon the backs of regular people.
At the end of the day, they are angry people who just care about 'winning'
Not dissimilar to the British teacher who just happened to be a muslim and held only a British passport and had never visited any of the 7 countries on the ban list. It's straight up discrimination. "You're a muslim and you're not coming in".
This man is spending his time watching TV instead of doing his job, if anyone else did that they would surely be fired.
I never thought the day would come when I'm agreeing with Bill frigging Kristol; that guy has been wrong about literally everything, but he has a point.
He's been reasonable since he left Fox and has been appearing more on CNN and MSNBC.
One Indian Engineer was shot and killed and another injured in Kansas. Apparently, the shooter wanted to know what visa they were on and where they worked. Also shouted 'Go back to your country' while shooting. The assailant was an in the military as well and worked as an Air traffic controller. Matter of time before the Indian community came under scrutiny and attacks due to the jobs.
Everybody thinks that we get shot because we look like Arabs, but the majority of Indians are legal immigrants and earn money and pay taxes. We also integrate better than Middle eastern communities, so for long we've been liked by Republicans. To my knowledge, many Indians are right leaning because of the lower tax. The problem is, when hate is kindled by rhetoric, it can't be contained by logical thinking. At least, 'Hindus for Trump' and 'Indian Christians for Pence/Bible values' can take a pleasure dump daily.

Maher got Darrell Issa to say there should be a special prosecutor to investigate Trump/Russia (a pretty rare comment for Republican to make).

You don't integrate better than 'middle eastern' communities.
A certain class of Indians have come to the US - as such, you've been more educated and wealthy...You are doing better than Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.
Even then, integration is NOT an issue in the US...it is a problem in Europe and the subcontinental divide is most obvious in the UK.
But, you need to educate yourself as to how far back 'middle eastern' immigration goes in this country.
Look at how intertwined the Iranian community is in Cali and I'm not even going to bother talking about Arabs and Detroit - that goes back 150 years
Indians get shot because they're brown and the racist feckers doing the shooting and beatings don't take the time ask...oh that turban is a Sikh thing or you're Hindu and not muslim.
Not the 1st time Indians have been attacked in the US, this happened a lot right after 9/11.
Lastly, despite...Hindus for Trump...Hindu Coalition for Trump...the vast majority of American Indians - including the tens of thoudands of Indian Muslims vote Democrat.
They could hold it just outside of Nuremberg, Pennsylvania. Have a big stage, huge flags, bald eagles, everything.

Perhaps it's better not to sidetrack the point of this thread by having another India vs Pakistan in this thread as I've seen how defensive you get as soon as something about India is posted.
Don't project your shit on to me. There is nothing in my post that can be construed as India v Pakistan.
In fact, I clearly stated
That's not someone being defensive, but someone stating the facts. Indians are doing better than Pakistanis and Bangladeshis - I was praising Indians ffs
I went on further to say, this Indian success is even more obvious in Europe and particularly the UK... where Indians are miles ahead of the Pakistani and Bangladeshi community (hence the mention of subcontinental divide).There was NOTHING anti Indian in my post and certainly NOTHING Pro-Pakistani.
You seriously need to work on your comprehension.
EDIT: Oh and I was the 1st person to bring up the plight of these poor Indians in this thread

Speaking of middle eastern integration - Darrell Issa's dad was Lebanese 
excellent video at the bottomThe Koch brothers are interesting - they aren't in the Trump camp and are NOT fans. Particularly when it comes to immigration and the criminal justice issue.
They threatened Republicans to withdraw support for their campaigns if they don't deliver:

Nicely written piece. 'Richard Spencer, the Baldur von Schirach of getting clocked in the face...'
It's going to be Tom Perez - this cycle just came too soon for someone like Buttigieg
Ellison pls.
Bloomberg has cancelled the white house corresponders dinner, making Obamas opening joke that little bit funnier.
Just their afterparty, I think.
Thank feck for that, the comedy is the only thing we've got with this president.
Nah...Perez had way more people locked up early on. Ellison will have strong support, but Perez is going to win this...
You need 224 of 447 votes - Perez had close to 180 a week ago. Harrison who dropped out 3 days ago, had 20-30 votes, threw his support behind Perez. So, that's at least 200 sewn up.
Yep, sure we will be seeing him run for congress in 2020/2024.
How important is the role of the DNC chair? What does this person actually do?
Fundraises and acts as a spokesperson, basically.
What a jokeWTF? When was this?
Yeah Hindu Indians are so culturally different to Middle East Muslims. So fecking uncouth and uneducated!!! (I mean the yanks who cant tell the difference)

@Neutral @fishfingers15
Pls take this debate into a different thead!!!! (do we have a Asia sub continent thread - that would be fun to bash for a while!)
Buy yeah, don't derail this thread please!
I don't remotely agree with your support of Trump or his intentions but I do agree the discussion in this thread often stoops to embarassing levels. A large portion of it is the same people posting 100s of times saying the same things, peppered with childish personal insults directed at a person that isn't even aware they exist, and dripping with hysteria. It doesn't make for great reading really. On the one hand I really appreciate a very active thread on what is clearly an important and interesting topic, but the longer I spend reading it the more it makes me feel dismayed at many things in the world of politics. It's easy to blame the politicians but citizens have a lot of responsibility there too.
Personally I blame news reports like the one below. It's an interesting story but the way it's packaged is tiresome. 24 hour news, all the padding that comes with it and the commercially-driven intentions of entertainingly packaged news content has been discussed many times before. I'd never realised people were replicating that in their everyday discussions / political conversations though. Maybe it's just an internet thing. Hysteria and artificial drama infused into every possible topic and pointless padding around the actual point makes a lot of it painful reading. The back-slapping takes it that one step further.
Great post post @Brwned
This issue was 'settled' 21 posts ago. Not to mention - there was no sub continental issue to be had...only an imaginary slight, which I believe I quite clearly put to bed.
Oh and threads that run hundreds of pages will always have mini tangents from time to time..I don't think they 'derail' the thread.

Take it elsewhere
Bloody eejits.
DNC are a pointless, spent force. I never thought I'd say this, but the genuine progressives need to take inspiration from Trump's campaign and circumvent the establishment and fund-raise their own movement. Bernie did a solid job of it anyway.
Speaking of keeping the thread on track
- Trump's speech to congress (technically not a State of the Union)...how bitchy are the Democrats going to be? I remember the Republicans being civil as is the norm...but, nothing is normal with Trump. Will he go off script and bitch about Fake News? Winning?- Status
