I'll sell you a clue ghung. If you don't want the strawman of accusing Trump of being a Nazi then don't bring up Hitler in reference to Trump. You own it my friend. LOL
If ghung is an example of lessons learned in 2016 about accusations of racism, nazism, and the Klan, Trump will walk all over the left in 2020.

I wasn't making a prediction, and what you call a "judgement" is merely me making a sane assessment of the President's mental condition and personality. But rather than rationalize our positions, try a simple experiment. Pretend you knew nothing about Trump; who he is, his age, his position, his past. Just some anonymous person out there. Then go to http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com/ and start reading.
And comparing Trump to Jimmy Carter, or any other President, for the sake of this discussion, is useless; an attempt to deflect. This thread isn't about them, and who they were has absolutely no bearing on Trump going forward. Anyway, your President is becoming increasingly isolated and the Executive branch is clearly in chaos. Maybe you should focus on that rather than trying to normalize this President's behavior.

Spare me your selective outrage. It makes you looks like a fool.
Newfie wrote:The problem with attacking Trump is you then instantly need to do the comparison. In a vacuum Trump is an abysmal person. Comparatively to the alternative? Not much difference, maybe half a point up.
So who are the Ds gonna run in 2020? Hopefully someone who is soooo much better.

The US economy will also go into recession, and Trump and the Rs will be blamed. The Ds will sweep to a glorious victory in 2020, taking both houses and the presidency, and President Hillary will wear a purple pantsuit with green velour pinstripes highlighted with a modest and small but very sparkly tiara at her inauguration in 2021.
Cheers!

Or better, what is being done to fix the stupid two party dog fight system we have? What’s been done to forestall a repeat of 2016?
And most of all, why are we letting this political system steal all the air time from the real important issues that are not being discussed?
It’s very PC to attack Trump, as if he is the single problem with the world. It’s just a distraction so the magicians can have their way with us. And we fall for it every time.
GHung wrote:Meh,,,, I don't obsess over Trump. Won't give him that much power over me. Then, again, it doesn't hurt to send out bad mojo over the state of our current executive branch. These people need to be held accountable, and Joe 6-Pack needs to be reminded that not everyone thinks this new normal is OK.
While I'm usually on your side or every argument/ discussion here that goes way too far. You should consider professional help.Cog wrote:Were it my power, I would erect crosses every one hundred meters from the Pacific Ocean for fifty kilometers eastward. The next time this five thousand member group of invaders tried to breach the border, I would let them in and detain them all. Then I would crucify every single one of them and let their bodies rot on those crosses as a warning to others.
But maybe I'm just a bit ahead of my time.
