And you know this from actually reading and looking up the cites provided?
Outside of the Pit you actually mock and deride Christians. That’s a liberal thing. You just want the drama.
Don’t forget “decent.”
“Reasonable, informed, and decent people.”
You’re a good person, iiandyiiii, and well-intentioned, and an inspiration to us all.
That said, I’m afraid your admonition to friend Clothy is doomed to never bear fruit. In his view, you see, the people who disagreed with your politics agree[d] with his politics. To his way of thinking, of course they were pretty decent and intelligent.
And in his view, they were the only ones who had those qualities.
Clothahump is not in the slightest bit interested in honest discussion. He has admitted multiple times that his purpose in frequenting this board is to goad liberals.
There’s no reason even to assume sincerity in his professed endorsement of Trump. If he were being sincere in that regard, he would have listed “pissing off liberals” as Trump’s primary achievement.
When Trump’s house of cards finally comes crashing down, I wonder how long it will take before Clothahump claims that Trump was neither a Republican nor a conservative, but was actually a liberal stooge all along.
This is a callback to how Clothahump kicked off this silly project.
Translates to “that’s the best I could come up with.”
It’s akin to Trump’s own manner of talking up his bigness without having anything to show.
“That was just the tip. Believe me, it’s HUGE! The HUGEST! Just you wait and see. You’ll be amazed. Believe me.”
I believe Texans refer to this type as “big hat, no cattle.”
NC, once again, you try to be an expert on me, and you fail miserably. But that’s nothing new.
No one is interested in being an expert on your life, you self-important twit.
Put up or shut up.
Put up what? You haven’t asked me anything. You’ve just made a fool of yourself (again, I might add).
But keep bringing the funny, bro.
I have.
See post #6275.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Have you ever stopped to consider what your own fruits are, at least in relation to this board?
You know, when you keep reusing that line, it doesn’t increase our understanding one bit. If you’re not going to explain your reasoning, we won’t be likely to consider your viewpoint valid, and we’ll make assumptions you don’t want us to make. You can’t just act like your imaginary jogger, blurt some biased talking point, and run away.
You just want teh dramas.
Booming economy? Well, by that metric Trump comes off a distant second. My US stock index is up 16.6% since October 1st 2016, but my international stock index is up 22.1%, so he’s down 30% relative to the global economy. That kind of sucks if you’re keeping score.
Not Carlson, you can ask him the question I asked him if you want. Seems like he might finally be in the mood to answer questions.

Not Carlson, inserting editorial content, such as “trivial content,” is against the board rules on altering another poster’s text inside of quote boxes. Please avoid this in the future.
No warning issued.

It is common practice to assume a lag of one year when hanging successes or failures in the economy around a president’s neck. This has been SOP for ages and is nothing new.
Reason being is an economy this big has a momentum and like a big ship there is a lag between turning the wheel and the ship starting to turn. Further, this year’s budget was set last year when Obama was president.
As such Trump cannot take much credit (or blame) for the US economy just yet beyond minor hiccups.
Yes, I was foolish to think you could figure it out without me having to put it all back in your face again.
Feel free to take the high road and ignore my peevishness, but how about answering the questions put to you?
Probably not as much fun as poking the liberal monkeys with your stick and claiming superiority.
I’m just amused that it’s an “achievement” for Trump to have maintained US stock growth at the same rate as the preceding four years (other than those two major dips when he was elected and when he took office).
Miller, thanks for the note.
I had thought that including truncations or comments in brackets was kosher.
I’ll watch out for this in the future.
Thanks, bobot. I did include your very valid counterpoint to his vapid and baseless claim of a Trump victory with the wall. But I am under no illusion that he is at all interested in answering questions. It’s just a game to him and he is completely without sincerity.
And if you look at the five year returns the US returns were 14.54% while the international returns were 7.68%, so President Obama’s market beat the global market quite handily.
