septimus:
Wrong again. Reread your own #214 . I’ll bet even Trumpists — the few that have some self-awareness — realize your claim is preposterous. This Trump rant wasn’t any sort of ordinary speech.
I’ll admit there are a few whose prattle isn’t awfully dissimilar: Sarah Palin, Alex Jones, a few of the FoxNews assholes. (Is that why you think Trump’s speech is normal? Your reference point is rants on FoxNews and InfoWars?)
Start with the constant repetition of the intended insult “Pocahontas.” You cannot name a single politician who prattles such a rude and silly insult over and over, can you? Even comedians like Stephen Colbert don’t do that, but you don’t want to pretend Colbert is “an average politician infesting DC.” Then you’d have to defend Trump’s top mentor, vomit-mouth Sean Hannity.
And that’s just one word, “Pocahontas.” IIRC, every single sentence of Trump’s rant was stupid and rude. If finding a similar Youtube not by Trump is too impossible a mission, point to any part of this Trump rant that was not a moronic insult. This should be a challenge you can win! I didn’t have a transcript nor did I even finish this despicable shit-talk.
Or retract your claim. Blame it on the mushrooms you ate, or the cat pounding on your keyboard. Or, are you tempted to emulate your own idol? He who just moves from one preposterous lie to another, never bothering to defend his claims, just doubling-down with ever more preposterous lies?
Or — and this you’re quite likely to do, 2nd only to continuing your complete refusal to back-up your claim — blame me. I used an insulting word, or made a grammatical error in my challenge, so you’re off the hook. Makes great sense, hunh? Trump can rant and rave like Alex Jones, but it’s all OK because septimus misplaced a comma. Got it.
What you have here is a failure to understand. You asked me my opinion. Specifically, you said, “I’m curious what you think.” I told you what I thought. I made it clear that it was just my opinion by including phrases like “in my view”. There is no “claim” that I need to “defend” there, all you wild imaginations aside.
Forgetting that Mark Judge had been interviewed by the FBI or mistaking 43% for 38% was a bit more than a misplaced comma.
