So the man-child shoots his mouth off yet again and says he'll make sure HRC goes to jail if elected and you're disappointed he doesn't come through even though there is nothing she can be jailed for despite years of desperate GOP efforts to find anything at all?

Well, that's an opinion.

The same opinion by shared by millions. It was great to see HRC face as he made that statement.

Why on earth are you constantly rehashing the same points from the past, some are which are untrue. e.g. the majority of violent protesters were anarchists, not Obama supporters. Why do you think the Courts knocked back Trump's attempts at Muslim travel bans, the reason was his campaign rhetoric to ban all Muslims. Moving forward, how about posting verifiable facts supporting Trump's so called achievements to date, most of which are in fact eroding the credibility of the USA, vilifying minorities, long term damage to the environment, economic damage to his base and so on.

 

A President should be judged on his verifiable actions, not by having to second his rhetoric, U Turns, putting up with his blatant lies and misinformation, all of which are extremely dangerous for the stability of the USA, US allies and the world. Now contrary to his campaign promises loud speaker signalling military actions against North Korea - what a great leader - not!

The problem with addressing a comment is that you have no idea what I was addressing. The credibility of the USA declined during the Obama era. We remember him drawing lines in the sand and then backing up some more. Remember when the Chinese snubbed him when he arrived in China for the G20. He had to scurry out the back of the plane because the Chinese didn't even present him with stairs and the red carpet. And he just played it off. It's your right to see things through your own twisted view of things but don't insult others for not following suit. My view of Obama is that he was a joke to the rest of the world.

Have a nice day................I'm out of this little social circle.

Hey ......it is definitely better than Mekong , Hongtong or Saeng Som .......that is for sure. It is no worse than Tequila , vodka or gin. It is the excess drinking of it that leads to ruin not the stuff itself.

 

I am currently on a wine budget because it is actually cheaper than Lao Khao. 8 liters of Montclair at 1199 baht a box works out at about 114 baht a bottle. The Lao Khao plus 2 mixers plus a bottle of Leo for wifey was costing me 150 a day.

 

Saving money but the wine can give a mild hangover whereas the Lao Khao no hangover. Bit tough on the esophagus though.

I'm used to straight up with water chaser. Never tried as mixed drink.

If you just want to have a fun time at the bar, buy a small set of whiskey and soda. Cheaper than lady drinks and still a good time.

I prefer Lao Kao, it really is good quality.

Yes, after the elections there were massive demonstrations, some of the biggest ever in the history of the country. Some of these demonstrations turned briefly violent, because that's what happens when millions of angry people come on to the streets. What's your point? Are you saying that just because there was violence, criticism of Trump is therefore invalid?

 

Did you stop to think why so many were so angry?

 

A misogynistic, race-baiting, white supremacist Islamophobic unqualified shameless liar and his homophobic, woman-suppressing, Christian Taliban running mate had been elected by a racially anxious white majority on the basis of promises such as:

Ban all Muslims from USA no criteria other than their religion.

Appointment of a SCOTUS who would overturn Women's right to choose.

To repeal affordable healthcare laws with vague, off hand promises to offer "something great"

Cut taxes for the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

Build a wall and force the friendly neighbor to pay for it.

 

If that doesn't make you angry, you're a Trump supporter. It made many other rightfully angry. Does that entitle them to violence? Of course not. Are liberals condoning the violence? They are decidedly not.

 

What is your reason for bring that up other than to use it to discredit all reasonable opposition to Trump?

 

The vast majority of protesters were non violent. Their protests were a legitimate exercise of their democratic rights. We all denounce violent protesters. Only fascists denounce all anti-Trump protesters.

I originally brought up the subject of violent protests to counter the assumption that Trump supporters were gun toting fanatics.

Yes, the far right was angry because they couldn't handle the election results. Many of them young who are brought up in such a way that they can't handle defeat. In College and High Schools counseling was offered to the traumatized students. The Democrats were laying on the ground crying like babies after the election results. The lunacy of it all is beyond words.

There was never a ban on all Muslims entering the US. Another lie. A ban for "people" entering from certain countries...yes.

Women's right to choose would have been an issue no matter which Republican became president.

Cut taxes for the wealthy....another lie. Cut taxes for businesses which some happen to be owned by the wealthy. Remember who pays a large percentage of taxes. Do you think the poor and middle class could handle the tax burden alone? Of course not.

The "Wall" thing was just a propaganda tool. Anyone with any common sense would recognize that.

If such protests had taken place when Obama took office...What would have happened? That would have been racist, all the protestors would have been condemned by the Liberal media. But it's the radical left who is unhappy so we let it go on (Protests, burning, looting, Police assaults) Why? because they're unhappy, they can't accept defeat.

The folks you call Trump supporters aren't necessarily on board with all his antics, but we recognize the fact that he is better than "Crooked Hillary"

The Democrats are going to have a full out war with any Republican who fills the seat of POTUS.

Please stop mentioning Obama. It's depressing to the normal Americans that appreciated having a civilized, articulate, coherent, adult, and mentally stable president. Now we're living in a NIGHTMARE time. 

Do you perhaps need some counseling JT.

I'm curious how you seem to arrive an the conclusion that if one disagrees with Trump's policy and behavior one also must not only condone violent protests but somehow is responsible for them as well?

 

TH 

Never meant to imply any one individual condoned anything. I merely stated that Obama never really tried to stop it.

Yes, the damage was vast and nationwide as more than 60 million angry voters laid waste to the nation.

Typical side stepping response...........Continue beating your drums.

This should give the "Round Table Society" reason to convey future meetings. First order of business.....Find another Mom & Pop store who will allow farang to congregate outside with adequate seating and proper toilet facilities.

Taking into account the numbers who were anti Trump, the protests were limited in scope. As already said the majority of violent protesters were anarchists who I would not count as Obama  supporters

 

An example to counter your false narrative regards Obama...

 

"We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff on Trump supporters. That's not what our democracy is about."

"That's not what you do. There's no room for violence. There's no place for shouting," he continued. "There's no room for a politics that fails to at least listen to the other side -- even if you vehemently disagree. Because I believe if you've got the better argument, then you don't need to do that. Just go out there and organize and persuade."

And after the elections, chaos ensued. Police were injured, stores looted.

The same things you think he is saying against Trump that are making you queasy would give you a delightful orgasm if they were about Hillary or Obama. The point of the video is to prove that double standard.

I got the point, thank you Dexter. But, Keith O is such an ass####

Clearly you have no grasp of the constitutional issues involved.

Calling ICE before you release an illegal from jail sounds doable to me. They aren't asking the Police to arrest every illegal they come in contact with. I

It's sick what these sanctuary cities are doing. Hopefully the courts will rule against them.

Personally I would not define  racist messaging as "absurd memes', rather a call to violence. 

 

I read your link which indicated most of the limited number using violence were anarchists, the anti Trump people were calling for peaceful protests. One could define Trump's primary ideologue, Bannon, as an anarchist who promotes memes such as anti globalism, violence (war) and so on...

And, not once did we hear Obama asking for the violence to stop. It was not a limited number of incidents. It went on for several days throughout the country.

Stock Market closed with a small gain across the board today. Mazda and Toyota joining forces to build new plant in the USA creating 4000 new jobs.

Continue beating the drums.

I've been with the same lady for 9 yrs., have a child together, never got married. My love and commitment shows in the land and 2 houses I've bought for us. We do plan to make it official someday. I guess my lady always knew I was in for the long haul, she never pestered me about the subject.

I don't like AC, would rather have fan cool the sweat.

Not sure what your point is. I'm talking violence and you're posting memes. Did you happen to click on my attachment a few posts back.

No, you only want to post absurd memes.

Some folks like to forget or bury their head in the sand.
