'cause the press has been mean to him. clinton, who no doubt woulda' received bad press, mighta' attacked individual reporters and stories, but am not able to imagine her using "enemy of the people" language. evar. is the kinda stuff we previous thought were reserverved for autocrats and internet hoaxers. alternative facts and outright lies. claim sound from windmills cause cancer and when confronted with abject stoopidity o' such statements he doubles-down on such. crowd size. mit global warming studies. payoffs to porn stars. authorship o' press releases. could spend tens o' pages discussing trump admin lies... and when he is caught in an obvious lie, he tends to make lie bigger rather than retracting. ignores the unanimous advice o' intelligence chiefs in favor o' tucker carlson and sean hannity? why? 'cause the fox guys says what trump wants to hear. attacks on McCain even after the senator's death, and why? 'cause mccain, who were in favor o' obamacare repeal, were having too much integrity to go along with the slapped together replacement plan which were forced through committee w/o debate. (can ff to ~7:00-9:45ish if just wanna hear reasons for voting 'gainst obamacare repeal.) faked medical condition to avoid military service while ridiculing mccain's efforts in service to his country. lies. pettiness. willful stoopidity. oh, and as bad as were hillary emails and the potential damage such coulda' done to US intelligence and diplomatic efforts, within month o' being in office trump spilled israeli secrets to the russians in the oval office and he forced security clearances to be given to family members he were told were in danger o' being compromised. clinton woulda' been bad, but trump daily lies and character breaches has made gd and others numb to how terrible he is. we honest could not imagine how terrible trump character as President has been. had assumed pu$$y grab before being elected woulda' been low water mark, but have been proven wrong almost daily. your gas station guy is perpetual safe from making good on offer, eh? oh, and mexico tariffs? HA! Good Fun! I have to say when you summarize these bad points and decisions made by Trump it makes a very compelling argument that anyone could have been worse...I doubt Hilary Clinton would have been this egregious.

Guard Dog Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Assuming we even have a choice. We both cast votes in states where the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Unless you know a way to reprogram the simulation so we actually can rescue the ship. Of course I didn't vote for either so I'm cool with the guy in the mirror. Not voting for either D or R in '20 or ever again for that matter. Now when it comes to the make up of Congress we do have a little more control. Just a little. I like my Congress in opposition to the Presidents. If only they would find the back bone to actually take back power ceded to the executive. Like tariffs. Of course they won't because all 535 of them dream of having that power themselves one day.

213374U Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Yeah, think about it man. Hillary not being elected was a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to go toe to toe with the ruskies in (possibly nuclear) combat. Now with these lily-livered pinkos you're getting on one side of the aisle and Putin fanboys on the other, you may not get another such chance in your lifetime. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Gromnir Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 trump claims he never called meghan markle "nasty" why lie? honest, who cares if he called her nasty, but why lie when there is video and audio recording proof? more mind boggling, trump's own people posted a link to the video in which potus says he didn't realize meghan markle were nasty... were some kinda bizarre attempt to refute media claims. now trump is demanding another apology from fake media. what? meanwhile, 30% o' the US population likely agree that trump is owed an apology. a few o' you know who you are. ... we are living a freaking twilight zone episode. at least during the first couple years in office, trump had folks around him who refused to lie for the President. those folks is gone. again, this were nothing, but why lie 'bout it?
