Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Ace raised a question and I'm answering it. Some people vote against what is best for them. Sometimes they do it because they think it is right. Sometimes they fuck up.

People make mistakes. People are voters. Therefore voters make mistakes. This shouldn't be a controversial statement

Who are we? We are people expressing opinions. Sometimes we observe people doing something we think is a mistake. You voted for Clinton. You thought she was the better option. Doesn't that mean you think the people who voted for Trump made a mistake?

You don't like people making comments that evaluate the actions of others? Then you are in the wrong place, Dickie. That is most of what we do here.

 

He didn't get money from them, but he got connections.

And, his hedge fund isn't making him any money now, but he got his 2% from everyone who put money on. That was enough to buy the apartment.

And Chelsea had some money too. NBC was paying her $600,000 to do nothing.

Plus, according to Band -- as we learned from the Podesta email leak -- she used foundation money to pay for her wedding.

 

Please don't insult our intelligence by acting like you meant that someone, somewhere votes against his "own interest" (whatever the hell that means). It was a direct commentary about the way the Rust Belt states voted this time. Maybe they didn't trust the lady who makes six-figures giving secret speeches to Wall Street. Maybe their health care premiums went up. Who the hell knows? Who are you to decide what their "own interest" is? By definition, people don't vote against their "own interest."

 

Really? I hadn't heard anyone mention that around here.

 

Remember also CNN was the citadel of journalistic integrity that got all huffy and puffy because Donna Brazile MIGHT have given Hillary two debate questions (which any idiot could have told you were going to be asked anyway). But saw nothing wrong with the continued employment of Corey Mother Fucking Lewandowski and the fobbing off of his Trump-fellatio as commentary the public needed to hear.

 

I was just updating the precise figures. I know it's not a secret that she won the popular vote.

 

I never claimed I was talking about"someone, somewhere." I'm applying a general principle to a specific situation and you agree with my overall point, but you'd rather pick a fight than admit as much.

You voted for Clinton. You think Clinton was the best choice for our country. So by definition, you think Trump supporters voted against their best interests.

To vote against Clinton because you think she is untrustworthy is to suggest that Trump is trustworthy. To believe that demonstrates ignorance and you know it.

I'm a guy stating an opinion on the internet, just like you. The difference is I actually say what I mean while you go into troll mode much of the time, stating things you don't actually mean with the sole purpose of starting shit.

 

I don't think you have to think people are stupid to have made an important bad decision. Smart people make bad decisions all the time. All people do, me included.

 

But he played so well for Poland today:

 

Johnson probably would have protested Johnson's election.

 

Exactly, and I do it, too.

Dickie isn't standing up for anybody's intelligence here. He is just doing his Dickie the troll thing.

 

I just think it's condescending.
