A momentary pause to consider the nature of the man Trump supporters are defending.

[berg80]

They've completely sold their soul for this guy. This is complete capitulation.

I'll give him credit - he was right about the Fifth Avenue thing.

Yes, I think even Trumpleton's would reluctantly admit that. But why?

 

[Jitss617]

I’m just here for the tds Lol

It's like a gory sideshow

You want to look away, but can't

I just wish we had some normal democrats to debate. These ones I think are in insane asylums across America, or are like Joe biden Dementia

 

[occupied]

Conservatives sought and finally found a man that tells them their character flaws are now virtues. They live in a world that often despises their greed, hate and ignorance and are too lazy to try to be kinder, better Americans. Get a guy that will never criticize them for anything and Bingo, everyone is perfect American patriots in spite of hating most Americans and most things about America.

The projection is really embarrassing. For you.

Nope, I never would have voted for a shameless amoral fatcat like Trump. I have to assume you don't see anything he has done as a deal breaker. It follows that you have no actual sense of morality.

 

[Jitss617]

The democrats can never brag about their "candidates" because their policies can't be defended.

The subject matter here is not ideology, as I stated at the beginning. It is character.

Are you locked up in an insane asylum? Honestly.. are you ok?

 

[berg80]

Everything else you stated is just a twist and distortion- your personal opinion, and nothing more.

Sorry, but that is not true.

Trump pays up: $2M to charities as fine for foundation abuse

Trump pays up: $2M to charities as fine for foundation abuse

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is paying up after conceding that he used his charitable foundation at times as a personal piggy bank.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is paying up after conceding that he used his charitable foundation at times as a personal piggy bank.

Trump has wired $2 million to pay a court-ordered fine for misusing the Trump Foundation in part to further his business interests and 2016 presidential run, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Tuesday. The money will be distributed to eight charities.

About $1.8 million left in the Trump Foundation’s bank account was also split among the nonprofits getting fine money, along with $11,525 that Trump paid back for spending foundation money on sports memorabilia and champagne at a charity gala.

As I've said numerous times. I get voting for him. This November, unless he keels over, I'll be voting for Joe Biden. I don't hate Joe Biden...but I really cannot think of one thing that Biden has ever said or done to make me like him as a politician. The sole reason I'll vote for him is because the blob is a lying whoremonger who clearly is several meters in over his head and unless you have some sort of interest in the problems of the people of the nation, you have no business running for dog catcher, much less President.

So I'm sort of in the same boat as the republicans were in 2016. I'll vote for Biden because I find the alternative so repulsive.

What always makes me laugh is the defenses since then. He posts some blather on Twitter (Covefee I think it was) and his spokesman plays it up as if it was some sort of Little Orphan Annie Oval-tine ad from A Christmas Story that was meant for a specialized audience. You expect his spokesman to sing the virtues of his boss...but the supporters doing the same and not calling BS? That takes a special kind of devotion.

For the record, I think the blob will win in November. Americans like giving Presidents 2 terms for some reason; even when they clearly don't deserve it. But I'll be happy to have the process play out; win lose or draw.

In the mean time, I plan to continue to point out the ludicrous nature of this dope.

For the purpose of this thread let's put aside the matter of the Trump admin's botched, delayed response to the worst public health crisis in 100 years. Let's instead consider what kind of person, absent politics, Trumpleton's voted for and still support.

What follows is a list, not of unfounded accusations, but of documented instances or moral depravity.
He has defrauded students of his real estate school for which he paid a $25M settlement.
He has under paid contractors for which he was sued hundreds of times.
He has swindled shareholders of his bankrupted casino company.
He has associated with convicted criminals.
He has, on numerous occasions, cheated on his wife.
He has paid two of the women involved in adulterous affairs for their silence in order to defraud the voting public.
He has lied to the American public pathologically.
He has discriminated against minorities. A case he settled with the US government.
He has stolen money from a charity, for which he paid a $2M fine and was forced to shut down his "charitable" foundation.

Give it a minute...........it's a lot to take in.

Now, forget about party affiliations and ideological differences. Concentrate on character. To many, an important consideration before casting a vote for a candidate for any office, let alone the presidency.

The question I'd like to pose to Trump supporters is..................WTF?

What form of mental gymnastics makes it possible to ignore all that?

and amazingly he got elected and reelected.

Donnie got reelected? When was that?

 

[berg80]

It is not unprecedented for the public to forgive a politician for various acts when said politician is contrite and asks for forgiveness.

To my knowledge Trump has never publicly admitted or asked for forgiveness with respect to any of his illegal or immoral acts.

 

[Atticus Finch]

Time and space does not allow for the serious offenses and felonies committed by the pair of hucksters known as the Clintons.....I'm mean let's get real, Trump is a Sunday school teacher compared to those two....You got some nerve pal....How many women did Slick Willy shut- up? How about Monica?The money laundering pay to play scheme called the Clinton Global Initiative? How's that scam doing these days since Cankles didn't make it? It's all dried up ,no favors,no money.How many Clinton associates have committed "suicide"?.....I could go on and on so don't even come at me with that tripe.Ain't nobody clean.....nobody...Some are just way more slimier than others as I have just shown you.

 

[blackhawk]

To borrow a line from the movie deep blue sea you the only rich guy who's squeaky clean I would suggest some of you on the left read the book profiles in corruption and get a real eye opener about some of the Democrats you so blindly follow. For the record there is no doubt that you have Republicans doing the same stuff the Democrats highlighted in the book do which just shows in a lot of ways there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans.

I really don't know what this is. It'll be studied in the future, that's for damn sure.

I have some guesses, but I don't know.

 

[Maxdeath]

You really have to feel sorry for the left. They set the bar so low as to be subterranean with their presidential choices then they try and pretend that the Republicans should be upset that theirs aren't squeeky clean.
But the left also known as the cult of dementia really needs to shovel as much dirt at Trump because they know that they are going to lose all power this election cycle. They are running an Alzheimer's patient trying to pretend that he can win while thinking everyone will vote for him knowing that it will actually be the VP running the show. Can you say beyond reprehensible?

 

[berg80]

I'm mean let's get real, Trump is a Sunday school teacher compared to those two

There is absolutely no way you can factually substantiate that assertion. But please do try. It should be entertaining.

Before you do, please consider whatever lying garbage you come up with is not a defensible rationale for voting for Trump.

Here is the flaw in your logic Berg. You, and other rational people, look at your list and see negatives; Trumpers look at the exact same list and see positives.

Trumpers see your list as Trump “accomplishments”. Something to be proud of.

They are not considered a cult for nothing.

Yes you can try all the hyperbole you want but that does not detract from the fact that you folks were in the lead with even worse. And yet again you are attempting to foist onto the American public even worse once again.
So thank you for showing Americans just how bad of actors you all are.

Trump The pole turtle

Pole Turtle
a. A turtle that can sometimes be seen on top of a tall pole in the Midwest. When you see a turtle on top of a tall pole, you think:

Well, you know it didn't get up there by itself.
It must not know what to do now that it's up there.
And what asshole put it up there in the first place?

It would appear triple spinning back flips off the stationary rings with some denial and whataboutisms thrown in are required.
