I was 'quoting' Crank FRank.

So Harry L had no adversity to deal with? Um what privilege are you talking about? That he was brought up pretending he was white? Buy a gram of the concept of walking in another's shoes is all I can say to you.

I'm a migrant as well; we arrived in 1956 when I was six. I copped it for being German, and anyone from Greece and Italy and Malta copped it for being 'wogs'. The names you mentioned were brought up in a similar climate, though the new scapegoats now came from Asia. Asians are still classified as Them, especially the Chinese these days, as are Muslims. My point is that if you complained in those days you got belted and ostracized even more. We are now supposed to live in more 'enlightened' times, yet the woodwork is full of Cranky Frankys, Half Forward Flankers and the like, some who claim Harry had it 'easy', that he's a Wuss for pointing out how thin the veneer of tolerance and fairness really is. Wow, is all I can say, WOW!

What the [censored] hell has that got to do with it? He was brought up in our 'culture'!!!!!!I know, go back to where you came from. It doesn't take long for the R Gene to bubble up with some people.

It's make a nice Business Card: Concussions Created.

So did Leigh Matthews and lots of others: it was 'part of the game' at that time. Has anyone asked Matthews to account for his behind play attacks on Giles, Smith and Bruns???????

You obviously missed the whole point about the Muir story. To understand it, you might need to buy a few grams of a concept called 'the ability to walk ten yards in another person's shoes'. Probably not on your shopping list. And it's obviously not very kosher to be black and have a healthy ego. Muddle on, as the song goes, muddle on...

You are a weird cat: and are you taking the puss?

No laughing matter, though. Though I am now convinced P2J is taking the puss, as they say in NZ.

Imagine one voter with half a brain cell voting for a lying, narcissistic psychopath like Trump.

Yep. He actually increased the number of US troops in Syria - to protect what this imbecile lunatic called 'Our Oil'.

There are people who see just what they want to see, hear only what they want to hear.

Yep, unfortunately, Biden and Co will probably be even worse on that front. Witness Obama's rape of Libya and attempted rape of Syria.

FMD. The warmonger who bombed Syria on a false claim that the Syrians used Chemical weapons, who chose to keep his invasion troops near the oil fields so they could steal what this [censored] called 'our oil' the same Pres who still has troops in Afghanistan, the same Pres who continued to supply endless weapons of mass destruction to Saudi Arabia while it raped Yemen. We won't mention this Kushner-led imbecile condoning Israel making Jerusalem its capital.

I don't understand all this 'passion' about James Frawley. He walked, as every employee is entitled to. Good riddance, have a good life, James. I also understand that what galls is that he played good footy as a Demon, then played rather ordinary football - the lack of a tackle against the Bulldogs - and in the end, that's life. Sailor Vee, as they say in the navy.

I loved the dude. His fate was until now yoked to Goldstein and Max; I wish him all the best.

Yet another evasion; more sophistry. You asked for proof of Trump's racism. But you won't accept it because it didn't come from Sky or Murdoch.

You want Trump racist 'facts': VII. “Go Back to Their Huts” In office, Donald Trump followed through on his promise to curb immigration from majority-Muslim countries. He created a commission to investigate voter fraud (virtually nonexistent, according to state election officials), claiming that he would have won the popular vote but for millions of ballots cast by people in the U.S. illegally. He shut down the government for 35 days in an attempt to secure funding for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. He reportedly referred to African countries as “[censored]” nations—asking why the U.S. can’t have more immigrants from Norway instead—and complained that, after seeing America, immigrants from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts.” The administration favored victims of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Houston, over those of Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico, sending three times as many workers to Houston and approving 23 times as much money for individual assistance within the first nine days after each hurricane. On August 12, a black man named DeAndre Harris was beaten by at least four white supremacists. At about 1:45 p.m. that day, James Alex Fields Jr., a 20-year-old white supremacist from Ohio, drove his Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 35 others. Fields was convicted in December 2018 of first-degree murder. In March, he pleaded guilty to 29 of 30 federal hate-crime charges in a separate trial. Speaking on the afternoon of the attack from his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, Trump denounced “this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides.” He paused, then repeated: “On many sides.” Lisa Woolfork is a UVA professor and an organizer with Black Lives Matter’s Charlottesville chapter. Jason Kessler was an organizer of the rally. Trump did not let up. In May 2012, he told the CNN host Wolf Blitzer that “a lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate.” In August, he called the birth certificate “a fraud.” Finally, in September 2016, under political pressure during his presidential campaign, Trump acknowledged that Obama had in fact been born in the United States. That was not the end of the matter. In November 2017, The New York Times reported that Trump was still privately asserting that Obama’s birth certificate may have been fraudulent. V. “He Doesn’t Have a Birth Certificate” “Our current president came out of nowhere, came out of nowhere … The people who went to school with him—they never saw him; they don’t know who he is.” That statement, made at the February 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference, marked the launch of Donald Trump’s public efforts to sow doubt about whether President Barack Obama had been born in the United States. “Birtherism” had been festering for several years before Trump embraced it—supplanting other proponents and becoming its most prominent advocate. In March, on The View, Trump called on Obama to show his birth certificate. In April, he said that he had dispatched a team of investigators to Hawaii to search for Obama’s birth records. For Trump, the run-up to birtherism had been a controversy that flared when a Manhattan developer proposed building an Islamic cultural center on a site in Lower Manhattan—the so-called Ground Zero mosque. In 2010, on the Late Show, Trump told David Letterman: “I think it’s very insensitive to build it there. I think it’s not appropriate.” Letterman pushed back, saying that blocking an Islamic facility would be akin to declaring “war with Muslims.” Trump answered: “Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.” Trump offered to buy out one of the investors in order to halt the project. The action made him one of the project’s key opponents and for the first time gave him national visibility on the political right. Anti-Muslim sentiment animated Trump’s birtherism campaign. He said of Obama on The Laura Ingraham Show in March 2011: “He doesn’t have a birth certificate, or if he does, there’s something on that certificate that is very bad for him. Now, somebody told me—and I have no idea whether this is bad for him or not, but perhaps it would be—that where it says ‘religion,’ it might have ‘Muslim.’ ”  Sam Nunberg became an adviser to Trump after working with him to oppose the Islamic cultural center. Jerome Corsi, the author of Where’s the Birth Certificate?, and Orly Taitz, a dentist and an attorney, are among the instigators of the birther movement. Dan Pfeiffer was the White House communications director. III. “They Don’t Look Like Indians to Me” In the early 1990s, Trump attempted to block the building of new casinos in Connecticut and New York that could cut into his casino operations in Atlantic City. (All of Trump’s casinos eventually went into bankruptcy.) In October 1993, Trump appeared before the House Subcommittee on Native American Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources. The subcommittee was chaired by Bill Richardson, later New Mexico’s governor. Trump was there to support an effort to modify legislation that had given Native American tribes the right to own and operate casinos. George Miller, a Democrat from California and the chair of the Committee on Natural Resources, was also present. Tadd Johnson, of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Bois Forte Band, served as the Democratic counsel on the subcommittee. Rick Hill is a former chair of the National Indian Gaming Association and of the Oneida Tribe in Wisconsin. Pat Williams was a member of Congress from Montana. Trump began by noting that he had prepared a “politically correct” statement for the committee, but almost immediately went off script. The hearing became loud and acrimonious. II. “Bring Back the Death Penalty” The so-called Central Park Five were a group of black and Latino teens who were accused—wrongly—of raping a white woman in Central Park on April 19, 1989. Donald Trump took out full-page ads in all four major New York newspapers to argue that perpetrators of crimes such as this one “should be forced to suffer” and “be executed.” In two trials, in August and December 1990, the youths were convicted of violent offenses including assault, robbery, rape, sodomy, and attempted murder; their sentences ranged from five to 15 years in prison. In 2002, after the discovery of exonerating DNA evidence and the confession by another individual to the crime, the convictions of the Central Park Five were vacated. The men were awarded a settlement of $41 million for false arrest, malicious prosecution, and a racially motivated conspiracy to deprive them of their rights. Trump took to the pages of the New York Daily News, calling the settlement “a disgrace.” During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump would again insist on the guilt of the Central Park Five. Jonathan C. Moore represented four of the Central Park Five when they later sued the City of New York. Yusef Salaam was one of the five young men who were wrongly convicted. Timothy L. O’Brien spent hundreds of hours with Trump while researching his 2005 book, TrumpNation. C. Vernon Mason represented Salaam and other defendants. I. “You Don’t Want to Live With Them Either” The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to “Jews and executives.” The Justice Department frequently used consent decrees to settle discrimination cases, offering redress to plaintiffs while allowing defendants to avoid an admission of guilt. The rationale: Consent decrees achieved speedier results with less public rancor. Nathaniel Jones was the general counsel for the NAACP. He later became a federal judge. John Yinger, an economist specializing in residential discrimination, served at the time as an expert witness in a number of fair-housing cases. Elyse Goldweber, a Justice Department lawyer, brought the first federal suit against Trump Management.

I have discovered in my life - I am nearly 71 - that there are people who believe the strangest thing - for example, Hitler and his fervent, murderous racism - and that there will always be people who will blindly follow the lunatic threads of people like Hitler. Sky News, for example, the other night - no I don't watch it, I came across it on you-tube - told its audience that the lanky Trump Lawyer - Sidney, I believe she is called - had delivered explosive news that 'proved' election fraud and would lead to Donaldo Duckin Trump being re-elected. Yes, folks, right here in OZ. Yes, there are flat-earthers everywhere. Today, on some news channel there was in interview with Gary Ablett who was filmed as he drove his car. He said that when the 20 year old woman died in his motel room from drugs, it was the lowlight of his life. He said that Jesus had forgiven him and he was in a better place now. Then he said that the world was poised: that the Illuminati had manufactured Covid so that the world would become cashless, that we were about to be brainwashed and install LUCIFER as our God. Go figure. What I'm trying to say is that many 'conspiracy' theories dwell on the same piece of string as Donald Trump's lunatic rantings and ravings. He actually 'forecast ' 'election fraud' would happen, just about from the minute he took office.There are many on this site who believe his every word. What does that tell you about the human species? And, I can actually PROVE that the world is and always was flat, you see, just subscribe to my Sky News Broadcast. Ha friggin ha, that's what it's come down to. Another Trump moron - the White House spokesperson, forget her name, the blonde, actually used the figging word Orwellian the other day. I bet she has never heard of or read Orwell in her life.

Don't call me wouldn't I!

I recent that ( sic)

I knew that: I was takin the puss...

The Pulsener, as they say in N.Z., or the pulse?

I can't stick with Sky news because my wife, my daughter and the neighbours complain about my language.
