"placating to her"? Is English your second language?

I finally did bring myself to read the rest of your post, and am assuming you had to look up the definition of laudatory. Who, then, is the simple one?
Your quote...And then you go and say something stupid like "Total transparency of Donald Trump is mandatory...". Total transparency of any office holder is laudatory.
And you're sounding very ultra-sophisticated and condescending, as if you are the rational one, and conservatives are not, when in fact it is the other way around
Ok I'll let you explain your meaning of... Total transparency of any office holder is laudatory.... words can be deceptive remember... Here is what I found while trying to make any sense of your righting... so please explain your intent...remember I'm mushy , ultra sophisticated & condescending in asking Trump to come clean & be transparent like every other President to date... My thoughts are trust but verify

News alert! There is no textbook definition of fascism.
And yes, you must define your terms in order to debate issues. If you want to include fascism, you must tell me what you mean by it. Whether it has evolved or not is insignificant. It would still, hopefully, have meaning for the times.
And in the case you just put forward, you must enlighten others on what "corporatism leading to corporate fascism" involves. Like all Leftist/Liberals your logic is necessarily mushy, as any term or concept you use can be misconstrued, or used in whatever manner any other may see fit.
This type of discussion/debate was rampant in the 19th century and forward, prompting Wittgenstein to remark: "What do you mean by that?" That is, words and concepts had no rigorous meanings, nor significance, other than what those "using" the word wanted it to have. You would do well to read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language".

What happened to Morgan? Are you one and the same? From your recent posts, 'pears that way.

A long time. Look how fast the Obama presidency went by and he wasn't nearly as entertaining as Trump. Plus with a 50/50 chance Trump will be impeached his will probably be the fastest presidency ever...

Good Morning Peter and Happy New Year, this year with Trump will be an interesting and entertaining one to say the least, wouldn't it be amazing if he followed through. we're all hooked to his and the republicans wagon and we're along for the ride right now but hope does spring eternal.

You question his loyalty (apparently your reference to "integrity" was only a false flag) based on the "fact"---which I haven't fact-checked yet) that he and his American wife could not have a "sustainable" life together?
Try and keep up, the original thread on him trying to avoid an investigation on his university has to to with integrity. Him preferring woman from other countries, and how he's slandered some American women has to do about questioning loyalties, you know just how the right did that with Obama for his entire term.

So are you implying that Trump, in the future, is going to do something "disloyal"? You know him that well?
No and I don't need to know him personally to come to my own opinion, which I am allowed to have as everyone on here has, maybe not from your country, where ever that may be. Loyalties should always be questioned when one is about to lead the people, and it needs to be proven, what has Trump proven so far, nothing yet but he has time. People who don't question are fools.

"People who don't question are fools." - Morgan
True; but
There are 3 things to always be concerned about when selecting sources;
motive, motive and motive
Following the Big Money, can give clues.

This is true, but aside from money it's about the true intention, there's the real truth. If Trump wants to go down in history as the best president to bring back the economic stability to America, to create better conditions and allies around the world, than we're in a good place.
If it is more self serving and power hungry, than we are not.

Where do you get the 50/50 from?

I'm sorry I missed this yesterday, but,yeah you are, and if you want to prove me a hypocrite, why don't you do it right than and there instead of 25 pages later or from other posts? And don't even start with who comes in after me, as I've said you have your "alliances" friends, whatever you want to call them, who follow you, as in Texacan bringing up August, geeez to about a follower, or maybe I should say a boner?

Oh my goodness! Where to begin???!! I don't have the correct body part to have 'a boner'!!! Jealousy is a real green eyed monster and you are consumed with it! First of all, I am old enough to be Linda's mother and I admire everything about her as I am sure that her own mother does. You can't ever best her in an argument, nor can you anger her enough to ever be anything other than the lady that she is. She has the capacity to look at both sides of a discussion and to always respect anyone that will reciprocate her actions. I believe that late last night you and she made a pact to start brand new today and here you are today as the real 'you' whoever the hell 'you' are! What in the world is wrong with a person when they have to constantly reinvent themselves? You are undoubtedly the most narcissistic person on this forum. People like Linda, be they man or woman, earn the respect and friendship from others by being authentic in their kindness and love for their fellow men. I truly wish you peace, love, happiness, and good health for 2017.
