Remember that the root of the Benghazi controversy was that an Obama surrogate made statements on a morning talk show that ended up being factually inaccurate (although this wasn’t known at the time.) Compare this with the current CIC who makes false statements an average of almost 5 times a day. They truth of the matter is everything that Crocked Hillary has been accused of (other than being an uppity woman) Trump exemplifies in spades.
That’s exactly what they do. Any criticism of their boy is not to be tolerated - even if he is Putin’s stooge and a damn traitor. Oh, and often there is a “get the fuck out of my country” in there somewhere.
But if it’s the black muslim Ethiopian democrat n***er, or “the evil screaming harpy what smells of sulphur” then holy shit! All hell breaks loose.
But, these same “patriots” are in the habit of threatening uprisings and civil war if their latest chump doesn’t get his way, is opposed, or (I hope) is called to answer for all the bad shit he’s done.
He is an America-hating fuckstick. When he stops being an America-hating fuckstick will be the right time to stop making noises of dissatisfaction that an America-hating fuckstick is befouling the Oval Office and negating the dignity normally assigned to the presidency by holding the position.
I think it likely he will stop holding the position before he stops being an America-hating fuckstick.
You misspelled “radical reactionaries.” It wouldn’t be that important, except that the “radical” part makes most people who self-identify as “conservatives” the exact opposite of conservative.
And you are entitled to that opinion, just as I turned to my husband when Obama was running and said to him, I can’t put my finger on it, but this guy scares me, I don’t know what it is, but I don’t think he’s a good choice. I did not care for his presidency, millions did. My opinion is still valid, it’s simply an opinion.
You “can’t put your finger” on why you were uneasy with Obama. That’s lightyears from where we are now. It’s not “opinion” that Trump is incompetent, ignorant, and immoral. It’s not “opinion” that he’s doing stupid things, saying stupid things, and putting terrible people in positions of power. The criticisms of Trump are concrete and a lot more compelling than *vague uneasiness *with a black president.
Your “We both have opinions, so my opinion is just as valid as yours” take reminds of something Harlan Ellison once said: “Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that’s horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it’s nothing. It’s just bibble-babble. It’s like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks”
It wasn’t his policies, or anything he said? It was just something about him? Something about him that you couldn’t quite put your finger on that scared you?
I honestly believe he is in bed with Putin. It’s all about the money. Follow the money. Sanctions affect Putin’s money. Sanctions affect the oil business, which affects Puitn’s and Tillerson’s money (and Trump’s cut). Trump’s “smart land deals” are carried by Russians who buy his properties at inflated prices, to prop him up and launder money.
It’s ALL about money. Russians and money. Russian money. No one else will loan/give him a dime. That’s why Trump got rid of Comey (it was the Russian connection and was stupid enough to say so). That’s why Trump fights so hard to stop Meuller from looking, and hiring people who specialize in fraud and racketeering. It’s the money trail. Follow it.
One thing I do think many are missing (not you) is that this is not IMHO a fight to remove Trump from office. But it should be seen as a fight to prevent the corruption and gangster-ism from places like Russia to set shop in the United States.
The lack of encouragement by the right in America in this fight against world wide corruption is very troublesome, and yet, it is a fight that should be done not only now for America but for the Russians that endure kleptocrats and gangster democracy.
And this chart of yours, hmm, is it suggesting I’m racist? I’m sure many will see humor in your chart. I find it offensive. Seriously, I happen to post that when Obama ran I told my husband something about the guy scared me and now I’m a freaking racist? I think not. How about I didn’t agree with many of his policies.
