If only polls were actual elections, but as we saw from Hillary, they're not.

There was no wars. What a joke. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2021/01/20/trump-the-anti-war-president-was-always-a-myth/

He's not. But even if he was, it's just a poll. Is that simple enough for you?

So predictable. I suppose you have to go on about the border because there really isn't much else to moan about; inflation under control (and done quicker than any other G7 country), employment at an all time high, stock market going gangbusters, infrastructure finally getting sorted, medicine prices coming down, trying to reign in Israel, respected again on the world stage. But yeah, the border.

The simple answer is, there isn’t one.

Hypocracy at it's finest. Soooooo, let me get this straight. Trump is allowed to name call everyone under the sun like a petulant toddler (and that's ok with you) but if Biden does it it's because he's 'bereft of positives'? The double standards of you Trump fans really knows no bounds.

Congratulations!!

Again with this false equivalency as if Biden and Trump are two sides of the same coin. Trump is MUCH worse than Biden in any manner you care to mention but even with that, the 'hatred and loathing' is kept solely for him. I don't mind GOP supporters in general, hell I don't even mind some Trump fans (I have a few friends who are) - I just can't stand the man himself.

Yet you feel qualified to say “nether diverse or inclusive enough “

And what is so 'diverse' and 'inclusive' about the MAGA brigade? Have you seen his rally's? Apart from the strategic blacks placed directly behind him for the camera's, it's literally a sea of white.

If you bothered to read my posts then you would see I have been consistent with what I’ve said about this particular “incident”, giving Trump a pass on this one but pulling him up for his numerous other inflammatory comments. I can certainly see how others would think differently though.

Have a look at Gift of Happiness Foundation - Home (gohappiness.org) This is a small but fantastic charity that is has been run by Eddie for many years now. They have very small operational costs and the vast majority of donations go straight to the kids. I've been supporting this for many years now and have never had to worry about them 'spend inordinate amounts on "management" (a particular bugbear of mine as well). P.S. It's also non-religious.

I don't have to believe anything. I can see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears. All of these things are on record either by video or in his numerous tweets. None of it is subtle; none of it is complicated. It's you who is also seeing and listening to exactly what he says but then choosing to either ignore it or excuse it. Or more worrying, just agreeing with it. So lets not get into IQ.

So you too are good with this language. That's good to know.

So you agree with what he said. Ok

I agree. I can't see why anyone would get 'frothy at the mouth.' I mean it's only in regard to things he actually says and does. How terribly unreasonable. I'll give the same question to you as did to ol' G_Money. What do you think Trump meant when he said 'undocumented migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease.” or when he said '“We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country' Do you agree with these statements? Do you think they are being misinterpreted?

I think Ozimoron has answered you deflection particularly well so no need for my contribution so how about you answer me this? What do you think Trump meant when he said 'undocumented migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease.” or when he said '“We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country' I'm genuinely interested to hear your take on this.

Deflector shields up Captain.

Trump has invented the concept of combat politics. It is now literally, good against evil. You can justify that somehow, he didn't mean 'it's going to be a bloodbath for the country'. He is after all, not the most articulate of politicians. But please explain to me 'undocumented migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease.” Biden has promised a very good solution to all the border problems, yet the GOP (by all accounts on the behest of Trump) is blocking it. And what did he mean by '“We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country?' That's a BIG statement. We've all seen rhetoric like that before and it's NEVER turned out well. So yeah, we're going to pick up on his B.S. But unlike yourselves, we will look at the evidence and the facts and make up our own minds. In this case he gets a pass (but that's on the Trump scale of 'stupid things to say' type pass which is MUCH lower than what the Dems are held to). And we aren't 'indoctrinated by MSM'. It's not difficult when Trump himself says this stuff. Christ he even puts it in writing. Anyway, on to the next time he says something slightly apocalyptic, self-centered or just plain weird. I'm sure it won't be too long.

I'll tell you when I'm done. You Trump fans love to take everything he says in the singular. 'He didn't mean this', 'he didn't mean that' without every understanding the fact that you are perpetually having to excuse/explain what comes out of a potential leader of the free world's mouth. This gaffe is just another gaffe in a long, long line of gaffes that we have had to endure for coming on 9 years now. His incendiary language made January 6th happen and his dog whistles to the more extremist of his supporters continues to this day. '“We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country' - 'undocumented migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease.” - 'I am your justice, I am your retribution'. I could go on but maybe you might get the point (unlikely but we live in hope) So yeah, forgive us all when we question what he means by a 'It's going to be a bloodbath for the country' After all, it's just another incendiary statement in a long line of incendiary statements, none of which he means and none of which he is planning to do..................of course.

Oh for Gods sake, I am NOT 'invoking...... a definition to fit the narrative' I clearly understand the definition and I am not pushing any narrative. I am mearly pointing out that if you use the word 'bloodbath' then perhaps don't follow it with the phrase '..........for the country' It's the 'country bit that's the problem, not the 'bloodbath'. And if you can't understand this and keep pushing YOUR narrative that I mean something different then that's your problem, not mine.
