But you support defunding the police, breaking down the nuclear family, releasing thousands and thousands of criminals from prison etc etc?

As an (interested) observer - as I assume you are - is it not entirely possible that one can dislike, despise and oppose Mr Trump's words, policies and actions without supporting the breakdown of the nuclear family, refunding the police or mass prison releases?

He's running as an Independent.

If he is, that's not good news for Trump. Not sure how large the black Republican vote is, but Kanye has been a mate of Trump's for a while.

I don't see any votes going from Trump to West, but I do see votes going from Democrats to West? I think it is a ploy of the Trump campaign.

Seems that if one doesn't hate Trump on here one is labelled as rightwing extremist, racist, fascist, stupid etc.

I don't see much calm debate happening, and no acceptance of an opposing viewpoint.

 

Seems like you're either cherry-picking or simply don't bother to read exchanges before commenting. The poster I replied to insists on labeling anyone not agreeing with his point of view "far left" and such, almost regardless of what they actually post. My replies were related to that.

 

Further, I do not usually apply the wide brush claim to all Trump supporters. The terms you picked do not feature much in my posts.

 

As for going on about "calm debate", or "acceptance of opposing viewpoint", that holds for either side of the political divide. Don't see you having much issues with that other than in a partisan manner - never mind practicing what you preach.

The American Revolution was led by the left-wing culturalists who defied an authoritarian monarchy, who looked towards a new experiment called the People's Democracy to found a new independent nation.

If Trump had lived during those times it wouldn't be farfetched that he would have been a Tory to sustain the king's power over the American colonies and bring the rule of British law to suppress the American Revolution.

 

 

Are you insinuating Trump got something to do with....ideology? Better lawyer up.

Funny how you don't seem all that upset about the President failing to follow your parents' advice. Being from the USA is not required in order to participate in these topics, nor does it being from other countries imply having no knowledge on matters discussed. Again, don't see you having much issues with them nosy foreigners commenting - when views expressed align with yours.

Dont insult Harpo Marx...he was a comedic genius.....a stable comedic genius at that.

Harpo married actress Susan Fleming on September 28, 1936. The wedding became public knowledge after President Franklin D. Roosevelt sent the couple a telegram of congratulations the following month. Harpo's marriage, like Gummo's, was lifelong. (Groucho was divorced three times, Zeppo twice, Chico once.) The couple adopted four children: Bill, Alex, Jimmy, and Minnie. When he was asked by George Burns in 1948 how many children he planned to adopt, he answered, "I’d like to adopt as many children as I have windows in my house. So when I leave for work, I want a kid in every window, waving goodbye."

 

His musical talent extended to beyond the harp, to piano, clarinet, etc...all mostly learned independent of professional instruction.

What a guy.

 

Marxists! On this forum! So the Trump supporters were right after all....

Watching Trump's speech it is obvious that he has given up. So low energy. His attacks were given in a low monotone voice. I think that Tulsa rally has destroyed him. He does not want to be doing this anymore.

Any takers on the bet he quits on Labor Day?

No chance, the prospects of jail are too big. He'll stay, and if he loses complain about rigged elections. And his fans will believe everything he utters.

Which is why people on the right were so respectful of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, among others.

Now I know you're a troll, I made no claim but if you actually read correctly you'd know, perhaps some reading comprehension courses would help.

I don't know if you were using "you" in a plural sense or just directed either at me or barmbeker. At any rate, I assumed that barmbeker was quoting you because he use quotation marks. That was a mistaken assumption. But if you're accusing me of being a troll on account of that, well, that's nonsense.

[johnpetersen]

Just for comparison's sake, here are links to some of Barack Obama's 4th of July speeches. During the time the birther movement headed by Donald Trump was questioning his right even to be President.

That is a laughable post you made and makes mw wonder why in hell you know of why Biden is "capable of losing the election". Contrasted to my post regarding Biden “Respect science, respect nature, respect each other.” Please enlighten me as to any point you may think of defending such BS?

Because Trump is lying, borderline maniac. But somehow they found an opponent who plays to his strengths....

 

Age: Trump is 73, 'I know let's find someone 5 years older, who very possibly might not be able to see through his first term'. Communicator: now Trump is certainly no match for Obama, but you could argue he is a more engaging speaker than Biden, who seems to mumble a lot of the time. At 78 I don't blame him! 

 

IMO looking and sounding good on TV is what wins the US election. For this reason, Biden isn't the ideal candidate.

[joecoolfrog]

Well the truly important issues of healthcare , the economy and a horrendously mismanaged pandemic are ignored because Trump is losing support daily because of them.

So instead we get a rant aimed at bolstering his ever decreasing base.

Desperate fling from a desperate president and everybody bar his most rabid monkeys can see right through it.

Have you watched Trump being interviewed? He seems incapable of answering a simple question or citing facts to back up what he says. It's pretty clear he's got a bad case of ADHD and is cognitively impaired.

This is typical trump speak and is right on the mark.........had to laugh when I read it.

 

Hey, I met with that guy Francis today. He's a Pope; a really great, great Pope. You know he's the leader of the Catholic Church. The church, big, big, big church. I couldn't believe it when he told me about how many Catholics there are out there. Way more than I thought they have churches all over the world; some are very, very close (so close) to my hotels and my great golf courses.

 

"He took me to the Sistine Chapel. Beautiful ceilings I don't think too many people even know about this place. The paintings are great, phenomenal paintings I'm telling you. The Pope (right guy, by the way, I think it he knows more about the Bible than almost anybody and, we got along great, I really think he likes me). Well he told me the whole thing was painted by this young Italian guy; I think his name is Michael Angelo. At least that's what Francis (we are great friends) called him, I think.

 

"Trust me, we're going to hear more about this young guy Michael whoever. He's really artistic, and everybody tells me I have the greatest eye for the best art. I told Frank I'd like to buy him some of Mike's art. I asked him if Mike's done anything on velvet. He'll check (great guy). I'll hang Mike staff at Mar-a- Lago or Trump Tower. He needs more exposure. It's too much with the churches he could paint my phenomenal presidential portrait on the Capitol dome. Or maybe a mural on my big, beautiful border wall, but just on our side.

 

Unbelievable!! The fake media is now at it again! I just saw something on TV that reckoned Michael died 450 years ago. Sad. Very sad, y'know, I've already got some people looking into this.....and you won't believe what they're finding.

But he produces good soundbites and to the general electorate I think that's what matters. Look... This isn't about praising Trump, it's about finding someone to beat him. Tell me why you think Biden is 'that guy'.

Sure, easy question and thanks for asking. Easy peasy. On the country’s birthday, Biden offers hopeful counterpoint to Trump’s message.

I think for quite a few reasons Biden is far from the ideal candidate. I don't see him beat Trump, Trump is beating himself.

I listened to that, and personally I think he mumbles. 

 

Look it's not my country, but I'm not sure Biden is the guy who can take the bull by the horns and get elected.
