Yes. Have seen your posts. Am aware you are independent at some level. Not judging morally, allows more latitude, doesn't it? I can't do that. The ends do not always justify the means.I am an Independent. I like Trumps policies. I dont judge morality.Sounds like to me you don't know what the hell you think. Or don't think.You are living in the past. I don't presume to know what "lefties" think. You are not equipped mentally or intellectually to know the difference between "lefties and righties". Nobody on this board has ever heard me make excuses for or support the people you speak of. Your pea brain is rattling in your empty tin cup.
Nope pretty set in my thinking. I'm just someone who believes in this country, has a moral outlook, insists on at least minimal standards of morality and integrity in leadership, am forward looking, rather than wasting time litigating or justify people not on current playing field. If you lie, bribe, browbeat or bully, continually make and change excuses or blame others when you are in a leadership position, I will shun you, as I shun this President. It is good to be an independent so you can support specific actions, but openly condemn repeated failures as necessary for the good of the body politic. Republicans used to share my values which is why I have voted republican so many times. This total failure to critique this president, no matter what by the Republicans is troubling. It may indeed ruin the party and damage the nation.
I try not to walk in other people's shoes. I have no idea what it is like being rich and famous and how I would behave if I were such a person. So I leave morality, which is subjective to others. Trump's kids seem to love and respect him. Being a father myself that tells me a lot. He is definitely edgy. I am an Independent on every level? I have never belonged to a political party.
More power to ya. Understand. Trouble is, everyone in his party are leaving it up to others. Independents will not change him. His party could keep him in check to a certain extent. Both parties have checked their party leader before. I just do not want to be a silent enabler.
