Help! Help! Rabid wolf!
Really? I would say McCain is a patriot and so is Romney to a lesser extent. Trump? He’s out to line his pockets and Putin probably has him by the balls.
I would also call McCain a patriot. If he had been running against Gore in 2000, I would have voted for him. If he had been running against Hillary in 2016, I would have voted for him.
Even as I was voting against him in 2008, I respected the fact that he was trying to push back against the folks who were calling Obama a secret muslim, but a lot of people on this board was having none of it. McCain somehow became a sexual predator and loose cannon.
Same thing with Romney. We almost ran out of names to call him. We practically blamed him for the financial crisis and frankly, we engaged in more than a little bit of anti-Mormon bigotry.
Perhaps Trump is out to line his own pockets but I think it is more likely that running for President was a vanity project and he was as surprised as anyone that he won. This is not part of some grand master plan to fleece the country. He gained credibility within the Republican party by being a racist misogynistic xenophobe but that is a Republican problem, not a Trump problem, he just does it better than most Republicans because he just says what they are implying.
But, how in the world does Putin have him by the balls? Is there some imagined secret that Trump would be too embarrassed to have revealed? The man has no shame, wtf could you possibly hold over his head?
I imagine he’s into hock to some Russian lenders. Are American banks even willing to lend to him?
Yes but You’re in a bubble, man. Got to get out from that bubble. It’s so easy once you let go and enjoy it.
I’m not quite sure about Romney but I don’t remember any of that about McCain on this board. The only thing he got a lot of flak for here was his choice of running mate. You’d probably agree he didn’t get as much flak as Palin did, and Palin and Trump got about the same amount, so therefore McCain did not get as much.
Are you going to tell us with a straight face that Republicans did not cry wolf about our current President?
Message board, can’t see faces, straight or otherwise. Count your blessings.
And now the Burger-master is the Wolf. The Republicans are now busy claiming that him appointing the fox to guard the hen house, the bull to the china shop, the vulture to organize the city and having the weasel and the magpie as advisors is peachy keen.
What is it with psychological projection in regards to Trump and his supporters? The people who voted for him are probably going to get the most fucked over from his administration. He’s not in it for the little guy.
His supporters are America’s worst Americans, and profoundly stupid.
Trump wants to name Sylvester Stallone as chair of the National Endowment for the Arts.
I guess it’s better than the typical Republican goal of defunding the arts altogether.
I just started reading David Cay Johnstons “the making of donald trump” So far very enlightening and a quick read. I’ll be back with stuff, but I have every faith that any argument is a straw in the wind compared with what amounts basically to russian trolling schemes.
I heard Putin is unhappy. He wanted Ivan Drago.
No they are not.
I’m surprised noone has mentioned Trump’s pick for Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, who has said that left-wing Jews, like myself, are worse than Jews who worked with the Nazis:

Now that’s a unifying figure if ever there was one! :eek:
I mentioned it here (Trump’s Cabinet of Curiosities):
It’s hard to keep track…So many threads, so little time!
Just sayin…
Seems to be “a thing” now. Since the fat orange puke has no good qualities (other than the ability to lie and screw people over and steal their money) all we hear is “derp hitlery bad”. They simply have nothing to point to.
