I figured that might be an overly exuberant summary of that speech but god damn did he ever sum it up nicely. I want the trump supporters here to ask themselves the same question. Where is the line? Here is a man who tries to use a natural disaster, with people's lives and livelihoods on the line, as an opportunity to sow distrust and further the divide, for nothing but political advantage. At a time when all people need to come together and pull in the same direction. He has no shame, no line he won't cross to further his own ambitions, America be damned. Where is the line? What won't you defend? But by all means vote for Jill Stein Sabes, what harm could this ghoul do, amirite? Just kidding buddy, sorta.

 

I can't think of a single other president, republican or democrat, that's ever done anything like this. All I remember is disasters were like political softballs for sitting presidents. Differences were always put aside and help was always provided. How tf could you want this asshole running your country?

An incredible thread to read actually,

sorry too long to post here..

 

but continues on to say Trump is going to States of strength to rally his followers angry to rise up in violence .

Not much difference than the NAZI Party rally in Madison Square Gardens NYC years ago.

Probably why they don't let him go outside too much anymore. Brain is gone.

Totally disagree.

 

His speeches only work on certain dimwits ( thanks to the US education system ) and he avoids any interviews that will fact check him.

 

It's stunning to me that poeple make statements like you did here. He lies soo much that he can fudge his way through interviews, when he even does them. Is that being 'good' at interviews? I could do a great interview on rocket science if I got to make shit up as I go...

 

His debates in 2016, both Republician primary & against Clinton won him the election. Is TDS this strong?

 

I'm surprised that your stunned by that. How do you think he won then? A fringe minority voted for him? Russia hacked the election? 

 

Im not debating his compulsive lying, but in 2016 he was like a comedian running circles around the tired old politicians.

 

I'm surprised this is even controversial. So again then how did he win? A minority vote in a democracy doesn't exist (or does it)

He was clearly severely mentally handicapped at that time as well.

Think about how stupid the average person is.  Now realize that half of them are even stupider.

Seriously?   Have you not heard the guy ramble, repeat himself, mispronounce words, and completely lose whatever train his thoughts were in during his rallies?

 

As for interviews, I watched a Youtube video of some of his interview answers.  The comment section had this gem:

My idea for a new quiz show: the host reads trump's answer, and the contestants have to guess what the question was.

  

 

Yes I have. I literally said he's too old for this in the post you quoted.

 

Man, TDS has really destroyed any possibility of legitimate conversation in this thread. Trump killed a homerun election victory (post assassination attempt) by rambling. He can't control himself. He craves praise, he operates for himself & others praise. America doing well off is 2nd to people praising him. He's a narcissist through & through. Is that okay for you?

 

Now just like Trump, her brain doesn't function properly. And unlike Trump/Biden she doesn't have age to blame. She is awful. I'm not coming into this thread praising Trump, yet any criticism of Kamala is treated as if your a Trump supporter.

 

She's bad. I don't know what else to tell you. She's had so much runway to improve & she still can't formulate proper sentences off script.

 

She's either mentally lacking (like Trump) or a puppet that can't give answers off script because she stands for nothing, but you'd think if it was the latter she'd have been coached enough to give passable responses. So the logical conclusion is it's either the former or a combo of both. Ultimately she's just bad at this.

 

This race on both sides is worse than 2016 & 2020 imo

This isn't an explanation/response, this is a Colbert show punchline.

 

It's possible to look at why he won & still oppose him vehemently.

It's actually a Carlin quote, and that's the reason that Trump was elected.

So by your own logic how are the (supposed majority) of people who love Carlin & appreciated Trumps no filter/comedian comments in 2016 going to suddenlg switch to Kamala's unprincipled / brainless comments in 2024?

 

Unless your a expecting another Trump victory?

 

I don't think this consistently explains my question of how Trump won.

Too funny, they always eat their own. Never mind that it’s coming from this guy who has been a major supporter of Trump’s campaign - “Stewart Peters is an American alt-right internet personality, white nationalist, political commentator, Holocaust denier, and conspiracy theorist. He is known for promoting COVID-19 misinformation and conspiracy theories, as well as anti-LGBTQ, antisemitic, and white supremacist beliefs.

If Clinton didn't have the email scandal and calling the  dimwits a 'basket of deplorables', Trump would not have won. It wasn't his masterdebater performance. What he does well is repeat lies and talk at a grade 4 level. 

 

My TDS ( thanks for that champ) has nothing to do with the fact that the dude is not what you pump him up to be. He's a cult leader, using tricks such as stimulating fear, anger, and greed to get attention. Those same human emotions/triats are what your internet algorithms target. After reading many of your posts, you seem to lap it up. This is the part that Russia may have played a role.

Except when it does due to the way the Electoral College works. Trump lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, but won enough of the Electoral votes to win the Presidency. The minority vote in a democracy literally won.

Do you want everything to be live again? Like the Sid Caesar show?

 

60 Minutes taped a bunch of people talking and then prepared 3 segments (or was it 4?) for broadcast.  Editing occurred, just like it does every 60 minutes episode.

 

60 Minutes is a pretty good show right? Piles of Emmys and other awards.  Of course, they do run into shit like this every once in a while.  That's show biz for you.

Was the last time Dan Rather or last month, or last year? Maybe as the wind blows? End justifies the means. Fair enough to criticize Trumps lies but not so on the other side?

The difference is that she isn't compromised the way trump is with Putin. That should be enough to steer clear of him all on its own.
