Rethink your Trump hatred ?

I've been thinking a lot about Trump lately. Have I been overly hard on him? Is he not the lying, disgusting,self-centered, egotistical, smug jackass I see on TV?


Why, yes. Yes, he is.
 
The problem with that would be fact checking.

Trumpers and the GOP are currently selling the falsehood that Trump's done a great job with the economy and kept all his promises.

Truth, we're lucky Trump hasn't messed up the economy yet but he hasn't fixed anything. Decreased unemployment is a continuation of the curve it was on. Adding a tax-cut stimulus at a time it wasn't needed EXPLODED the National Debt. Wages remain stagnant. Results from messing around with trade-war tempting tariffs remains to be seen. But Trump thinks the US is untouchable and we could get screwed by his **** you attitude toward other countries.

As for his better heath care campaign promise, does anyone here have cheaper better insurance now? Clearly Mexico didn't pay for any wall. Clinton wasn't prosecuted, thank gawd for that one. He has more than enough time for golfing at the expense of millions of tax dollars.

Hopefully you get the idea, making positive claims about our sides would be nothing but BS without fact checking.

I don't get how "Fact Checking" changes, either in necessity or difficulty about focusing on promoting the positive of opinions then nothing but telling me why the other side(s) are bad.
 
"Don't laugh at me because it might make me do something stupid!"

Is that your position?

That's pretty much the message I derived from ThePrestige's post. From many quarters I see similar scribblings from people too happy to admit to or threaten to bite off their nose to spite the country's face, just because Libs say mean things about them and their ilk. Not much maturity to be found in that attitude.

Trump supporters think that anything that angers librals must be good. They are burning down the country because of it.
 
No because it's about what's best for the country, not a game of who hates Donald Trump the most.

I keep having to come across as if I'm defending Trump. I'm not I loathe the man. But hating him is not the key to victory here.

You think Trump feels bad that a bunch of what he thinks of as snowflake libruls hate him?

Firstly, I assume you meant to say liberal and not whatever just dribbled out of your mouth there.

Secondly, You assume a lot of my political persuasions.

I'm not a "Trump supporter", but I'll be happy to support (one aspect of) this amazing, unbelievable personality. We were speaking of this -- or I was -- in the Trump Nobel thread.

Man's hilarious. Quite apart from anything else he is or does, he is simply and truly hilarious. No one who isn't blinded by their hate for the man can fail to see that. Thanks to him, news clips featuring him are often funnier than the most carefully thought-up comic shows. Every time he opens his mouth ...

Not one US Prez -- not one -- is a tenth as funny as he is. Not one world leader anywhere, anytime, that I can think of.


"Not one world leader anywhere, anytime?"

Oh yeah, how about British Prime Minister Theresa May (Aug 30, 2018)? --> [30 sec Twitter video clip]
 
Your body of work, going back to before your name change, shows little evidence of real interest in such a discussion. It's long on complaining about everyone else's posts, and extremely short on the kind of positive contribution you seem to believe this place needs.

It's almost like you aren't impressed with a poster who loves to pigeon-hole 'anyone who calls out any action by either side as wrong' as 100% the other side, all the while said poster is whilly-nilly posting Democrats this and Republicans that! Discussion?!?! Harumph! The only correct side is the middle, and the only middle is get of my lawn, you whippersnappers!

Trump’s speeches have always felt like stand-up routines to me.

I just don’t find him funny, because he’s such a terrible human being.

Kinda like how I have a harder time lauging at Louis CK after finding out he liked to masturbate in front of random women.

Only worse.
 
"When they go low, we kick 'em. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about."

-- Eric Holder (Antifa Grand Wizard) Oct 10, 2018

Damn straight. They go low, you go high gets you a stupid Russian whore in the White House. Find where they are weak and hit them there until they stop twitching. It's all their kind deserve.


BTW, you can't seriously believe he means actually kick someone.

Really? :eek: Free ponies for everyone, of course that's true.

If I wanted to hear all the lies that are Trump promises, what good is that?

Clearly I don't understand your point.
 
Greater chance of less penumbras, hopefully.

Awww! You went to all the trouble to post this chicken poop and no one took the bait.

I'm always here to help, as you know. Just which penumbras are you concerned with? Those liberal activist Supremes who over-reach on First Amendment issues? How about the conservative activists who over-reach and find support for everything the NRA wants in the Second? How about Kavanaugh's reported interpretation of the 4th to mean that the POTUS can't be prosecuted. The twisted sicko interpretation of the First that has Scalia's infamous defense of gerrymandering and a "to the victor goes the spoils" mentality. Not to mention Citizens United and many other dubious Supremes decisions over the years - all based on reading the Constitution for implicit meaning, rather than explicit.
 
I'm normally a skeptic so when my know-it-all friend Buzz told me about the amazing Omega Wand I was anxious to prove how he was being fooled.

Boy was I wrong! This really really works.


(((Being the new kid in town you're probably not aware that we get psychic believers, homeopaths, god-huggers, ghost hunters and conspiracy theorists here all the time who start out with a hirsute tale of how they used to be just like us but were shown the light by an unsuspecting source. It used to be a braless hippie girl but it's apparently devolved to clever offspring.)))

If you bothered reading the other posts you will see I am not a new kid. You will also realise I do NOT fit your generalisation. You have also just parroted at least 5 other posters.

then please do some due diligence before you diagnose everyone with TDS.

You're the new kid. If you were previously here under another name it is common courtesy to tell people who you were. (Unless you were previously banned, in which case the less said about that the better.)

I take it subtlety isn't in your vocabulary. Maybe your enlightened son could explain it to you. What most of us are saying is "you are not believable". No one went from believing all the ebil stuff the media says about Trump to believing all the Trump apologist lies to counter those things.

The man is particularly ill-suited to be President of the United States. His whole persona is a lie. And someone comes along who says that their omniscient son has figured it out and removed the scales from his eyes.

Pull the other one.
 
You guys/gals are hilarious. I'm not up Trumps ass like you think. I voted for him because he was the better choice.

The 2016 election was like having a choice of desert like poo with peanuts, or poo with corn and peanuts.

Given the choice, which would you choose? Yeah, it really was not a great selection for viable candidates. Trump wouldve lost running against Obama, Bush, or Bill Clinton.

Not so much against Hillary.

However, since elected, I'm fairly pleased with the job he's been doing. I think liberals worst fear is not him failing or ruining things -- but instead him succeeding beyond expectations.

If you were really a Libertarian, you probably would have voted for someone you didn't even make in your post.
 
... Snip...

Think? No, I know it does. You only have to read his tweets in a given week to know he cannot stand not being praised, the mildest criticism incenses him. If folk have a "weapon" "against" him it is to criticise him.
 
I have had a think about it. So when this wanker says he finds the Saudi consulate fight story credible is he taking his people for fools or is he a fool himself?
