President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Heh. He should run for president of Ukraine. Did more to fuck up the place than anyone else.

Talk show host in my area called Ball "LeVar Burton" three times the other day before someone got in his ear and corrected him. Maybe it's an easier goof to make than I would have thought.

Nothing is ever "the same." There will always be some sliver of difference someone can hang his hat on.

We need to just stop it with that rationalization. Pick something better. Or if there is nothing, let it go.

 

So in the statement, he says the Russian lawyer is "not a government official." In the email chain, Goldstone refers to her as "the Russian Government attorney who is flying in from Moscow ..." Hmmmm.

 

Joe, by most accounts, is a good man. Same with H.W. It’s just as likely they’re just doddering old misogynistic fools who are part of a generation that doesn’t know any better than outright sexual predators.

Trump, by all accounts, is just an asshole who thinks he can get away with anything and has largely been proven right. Moore is a religious zealot who has a documented history of using God as a way to circumvent American laws.

 

No, when a republican is accused of wrongdoing, YOUR warped mind remembers it as people placing the blame at his feet. When a Democrat is accused, YOUR warped mind remembers it as people taking a step back and pointing out the societal issues at play.

How can you say "we" put the blame at a Republicans' feet when Roy Moore is about to win an election? The majority of Republican voters certainly haven't put the blame at his feet. And I think polls will tell you that the vast majority of Republican voters put the blame at the feet of HRC whenever she was accused of wrongdoing. Her husband, too. So who is this "we" that you are talking about? And why are you including yourself amongst them?

 

Sure, but Clinton (and Biden) at least put a little effort into it — using charm.

Trump’s disconnect from reality and ability to drag his supporters into his dementia by just saying whatever he wants to be the truth are truly unprecedented.

 

I just want to be clear about something. We don't HAVE to choose a side between Lavar Ball and Donald Trump right?

 

1. I read that in Leaping Lanny's voice.

B. It should have been written as poetry.

 

You’ve made me sad. You’ve become a partisan and an apologist for democrats.

I know you don’t believe there is such a thing as someone who is mostly good, except for that little problem of fondling women and kids.

 

Even in heel vs. heel pro wrestling matches, the crowd usually sides with one guy.

 

You prefer charming abusers?

 

Because nobody has accused "Joe" of violating them. Thus, we are focusing on those who are alleged to have violated people. I say this in all sincerity: you are caught in a feedback loop. Your mind has invented a reality and it is now getting itself worked up over that invention, and you are lashing out at people because they aren't reacting to your reality the way you think they should. And they aren't. Because they don't see your reality. Because the only place it exists is in your mind. Get help.

 

Somebody in politics on Twitter yesterday pointed out that Ball is maybe the one person on the other side of a Trump twitter feud who has a vested interest in keeping the feud going and in fact encouraging it.
