I would recommend you pursue some self-punishment perhaps with a bat to the balls.

JediKnight

As expected, a typical deflection from a confused mind.

I believe you are misinformed about your v**er suppression crap and about no court finding evidence of wrong doing . I explained it so many times I believe you either understand and are just spouting talking points knowing they are false . Or you really are thick as a brick. Trump wasn't a dictator but Biden qualifies. If you can't understand the comparison then I can't help you. The constitution is in better hands with republicans then 21st century democrats. QYB FJB. MAGA. AMERICA FIRST.

The horrible t***h being what it WAS. We came a long way in 220years making a more perfect union. Not only was s***ery outlawed we even elected a black man to be president. Now how in the hell can anyone say America is r****t when less then 15 % of the country is black and we elected a black president. Either we weren't that r****t or the e******n was r****d. Obama who is a r****t divided this country three different ways. Race Religion and G****r . All part of a bigger plan by bigger players who's goal was to take America down so their NWO wouldn't have so much opposition. Taking Russia down is also part of their plan hence all the negative implications of being friendly towards Russia.. Any American loving soul could easily see the food Trump was doing for America. And a strong America means a strong united world. The NWO couldn't have that. So we got Biden and America is falling. Trump getting us out of the Iran nuclear deal was the right decision. Iran now will have a nuclear weapon by the end of this year. Getting us out of the climate accord was the right move. We have been restricting emissions for 50 years we are already ahead of the rest. NATO was becoming obsolete that's why they are overstepping their bounds and breaking treaties now causing conflict in Ukraine. It's good to remember where we came from but it's also good to see where we are now and where we want to be 5-10 years from now.
We could have been like Saudl Arabia and castrated all our s***es. Then we wouldn't be having this discussion. Something to think about

Hey winky. Kinda dinky with your words, go wear your pink Trump hat with p***e. There is that good enough English for you little boy?

WinkyTink Loc: Hill Country, TX

My Trump hats are always red and fresh. It’s the same with my Putin hats. I buy them both by the case.

The “There,” starting your second sentence is unnecessary.

BIRDMAN

Yes the new summer Putin hats are outstanding

I resent that use of the word "imbecile" -- although since you wrote it, I guess it doesn't mean much.

I've already written enough about the so-called "Ministry of T***h" or wh**ever it's really called, in some other thread. I won't argue it yet again now.

robertv3

You ask, "What's up with the derogatory language?"

You had just finished calling him "homo". He was merely replying in kind:

That not allowing to testify seems wrong to me too. I mean, _sometimes_ not allowing to testify might be okay, but he disallows so much testimony that it's a wrong thing, like he doesn't respect anyone's right to know what his administration is doing or was doing.



That's what I thought too. I might have said it in a different way: He and his followers and supporters don't appreciate the constitutional process of checks and balances.



Yes, though with one small exception, which was probably an insignificant one. I heard that he won 1 out of 61 cases.



There was that conversation with Raffensperger of Pennsylvania. Trump acts like some kind of criminal in it ("I just need you to find me ### v**es"). It was very inappropriate. A real public servant just knows, or has been trained to know, that they have to guard against conflicts of interest, and _even_ guard against the _appearance_ of conflicts of interest (so that the public can be more sure of whom to trust and whom not to trust). Trump not only tends to not appreciate such things, but also may not have ever received the standard training that civil servants repeatedly receive about that. That's because he became president without experience working for the government.

And a lot of Republicans don't see anything wrong with that, because their brains turn off as soon as the concept of "government" or "responsibility to the public" get near them. (That's probably because they've been trained to be like that, by the large business corporations who don't want the public to understand anything about accountability or responsibility to the public.)

Trump did know of a different kind of responsibility to a segment of the public; he did try to satisfy his "base", either directly or just by manipulating them to think they were being served. But neither is the same as serving the public generally.


Yes. I remember that. At the time I looked up the word, and thought, "yep, it matters, and he doesn't appreciate it". (I have since forgotten what the word means, but I remember it was kind of similar to "conflict of interest" or "bribe".)



Pretty much, yeah. But what's a little autocracy among friends?



Nah. Damaged, probably; tore apart, no. I still read the NYTimes, much more than before he became president, and surely the NYTimes is part of "MSM" (which I've assumed means "mainstream media"). Why would anything Trump said about it make a whit of difference to me? I learned very early that Trump wasn't worth listening to. And there are probably many millions such as me, who feel the same way. Maybe more than half the population of the U.S. think Trump isn't even worth listening to.



Pulling out of the Paris climate agreement; pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal. Promoting "coal" (as if there were no better option -- even for the coal miners, if the administration had the sense to support another option). Various things about the p******c, such as lying to the public about it, as seen by the contrast with what he had told Bob Woodward. Cultivating a climate of disrespect. Cultivating a climate of ignorance about government, although that didn't start with him. He's just better at spreading ignorance than the other folks are.

All that said, I think it's important to remember that Trump, bad as he was as a candidate in 2016, became president in large part because of the bad workings of the Republican Party. It's analogous to parents neglecting to guard against their child doing wrong things like running into the street or setting the house on fire. There should have been guard rails to prevent someone like Trump from becoming president.

When Trump became president he was unprepared for the job. He was good at being obnoxious; and that (plus inherited wealth) got him pretty far; and then suddenly he found himself in a position he was almost totally unqualified for, and he didn't know what to do.

So it's not totally just his fault. You wouldn't blame a moron for failing a PhD oral exam in something he hadn't studied; right? In that example, much of the blame is on the people who set the moron up to take that exam.

To a large degree, the Republican Party did this to Trump. I'm really glad I'm not Trump: that's what I thought soon after he got elected, and I still think it. In that position (just having been elected president), I (realizing that I was unqualified for the job, and that I had boasted too much) might have died of shame. Trump in public usually appears to have a kind of callousness or shamelessness. I'm sure that callousness is occasionally useful in a president; they have to withstand pressures. So in that one small way, he was qualified, in a tiny partial way, to be a president. It's like a drop (or, just one thing) compared to a bucketful (of a variety of things) of what's needed to be a good president of the U.S.
