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

[ColonelAngus]

Why didn’t HIllary release the transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street that earned her $225k for each of 3 speeches? If you thInk Trump is corrupt, but voted for HIllary, you are a fool.

 

[Correll]

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.

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

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

What form of mental illness makes you not know that a long list like that is not a serious challenge for discussion?


Oh wait, you do know it. This is just flame bait.

 

[Correll]

The good people of the Rust Belt had been ignored by both parties since at least the 70s.


Trump spoke up for us, and we voted for him.


If you can't understand that, you cannot understand ANYTHING.

 

[Atticus Finch]

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.

Nothing to defend it's all true and you know it.A cursory google search will substantiate anything I have put forth.As I said time and space would not allow us to adequately fathom the depths of the Clinton debauchery....Jeffery Epstein ring a bell?.......BTW wasn't it the Democrats who championed the notion while slick Willy was President ,that personal life didn't matter it was job performance that mattered.By that measure Trump has out performed all of the Democrat heroes by a long shot....So, yes I'll defend Trump's record as president.It is stellar.

[easyt65]

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?

Sorry, I could not get past the 1st sentence, which is a huge LIE and a definitive sign of TDS.

While Pelosi was pushing a farce Impeachment which violated her own verbally expressed minimum requirements to do so, while Adam Schiff was adding to the list of crimes (Perjury, Conspiracy, Obstruction, providing false evidence, etc...) he had committed in an attempt to affect a political coup, while the country was being dragged into the Democrats' TDS-fueled version of Dante's Inferno, COVID-19 was already unleashed and spreading in China, and warnings about what was already being given.

30 Days after China was FORCED to report it had a problem to the WHO, after it had allowed infected citizens to fly to several nations, to include to the US, the President announced his decision to enforce a travel ban on China.
-- This quick action (that probably saved thousands of lives) was met with immediate UNEDUCATED, hate-driven criticism from Leftists, criticism echoed by their loyal puppet/sheep.

As scientists still attempted to discover just what had been unleashed on the world, due to China's secrecy and desire not to be seen as responsible for the world-wide pandemic, as the virus devastated China, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Cuomo were moronically telling citizens that the virus was nothing to fear, that it would not impact the US, that they should go about their lives as usual. Pelosi urged people to gather together in large numbers, travel freely, Cuomo was telling people to ride the subway, continue t mingle....'Nothing to see here'.

Using your own words......'WTF?'

In 2015 Cuomo was told by CDC officials after an inspection that he / NY needed to buy approx. 2,000 Ventilator Beds due to projected peak Influenza numbers. HE REFUSED TO DO SO. HE REJECTED THE CDC RECOMMENDATION. Instead, he spent millions of dollars on a failed / waste of money solar program and a few other projects that weren't worth the money spent. NOW he is on TV attempting to blame the P{resident for his shortage of Ventilator Beds?!

'WTF'?

In the midst of a pandemic from a virus never-before seen by the world, that has shut down / affected the world like any seen in our life-time, despicable party-1st Democrats and TDS-suffering snowflakes STILL seek to 'not let a crisis go to waste' by using this tragedy for personal / party political gain.

In the midst of a pandemic that has the majority of Americans sheltering in place, afraid of catching the virus, afraid of losing their businesses, with so many out of work, with so many worried about going to a grocery store to buy needed food / supplies for their families...

.....the Democrats are holding up assistance to the American people in an attempt to use this crisis to get hundreds of millions of DEFICIT DOLLARS for the Liberal Progressive Socialist Democrat *Wish List items like funding for the Kennedy Center (which already gets millions of tax dollars a year + $40 Million in private donations - who just laid off their employees, cancelling their pay / insurance / etc...), millions for (Planned Parenthood) abortions, money for AOC's 'Green New Deal (rebuild / renovate EVERY building in the US, solar-powered High Speed Rail replacing airplanes, outlawing fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine for technology that has not even been invented yet, and the 'War on Cow farts'...)

...and in the midst of this pandemic that is reeking such havoc on the world / the US, Schiff and Pelosi have popped their head up again, out of their holes - like demented, diseased, rabid prairie dogs - declaring NOW, of all times, they want to begin the latest of their long string (4 Years) of political coup attempts, declaring their desire / intention to begin ANOTHER round of never-ending witch-hunt / coup attempting Impeachment-focused investigations.

W T F ?!

Democrats have been proving and continue to prove that Trump Derangement Syndrome is the 2nd (SECOND) largest threat to the United States overall (the largest politically) only because it does not directly result in those having it dying because of it (which is almost a shame....).

"During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, and misrepresentations in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate.[3][4] In practice, each point raised by the "Gish galloper" takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place.[5] The technique wastes an opponent's time and may cast doubt on the opponent's debating ability for an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved[6] or if the audience has limited knowledge of the topics.

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.

Yes, one could say Trump is not squeaky clean.

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.

valid , factual, non-biased link to each of your claims, please.

[Sun Devil 92]

I think his supporters view him like most people view lawyers. Lawyers generally have the image that they are slimy, immoral, scum-sucking bottom feeders and people hate them all.

Okay, let's pursue that line of thinking.

How many lawyers would still be in practice if they stole money from a charity?

The point being, doing certain things typically disqualifies someone from continuing in their occupation. Either by legal or ethical sanctions.

Somehow you think your "standards" and interpretation of what happens has to supercede what others feel is important.

Really a incredible (but typical) show of hubris on your part.

WTF ?

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

Are we electing a pope or a president? Ideology matters. I remember a democrat who stuck a cigar up an intern AS PRESIDENT and that was no big deal, so spare us your fake moral outrage.

We care, just not what you pretend to care about. We care about jobs and prosperity.
What is it you democrats care about?? Oh, that's right, here's the list:
1. Open borders, tear down the southern border fence/wall
2. Sanctuary cities & states
3. Free college
4. "Medicare for all", aka rationed healthcare, "Lois Lerner" in charge of your access to healthcare
5. Eliminate ICE and DHS, turn the US into the EU, with muslim "no go zones" and Sharia Law
6. Promote Globalism, whatever Wall Street wants Wall Street gets, see K-Street Cash
7. Paris Climate Change Treaty where the US pays $trillions to poor countries
8. Stupid trade agreements, e.g tax breaks to move factories overseas
9. Let China run roughshod over the US for trade and intellectual property theft
10. Let NK develop nukes and ICBM delivery systems, have no one capable of dealing with NK
11. Raise taxes to 70% on the wealthy, especially on corporations so they relocate overseas
12. Decriminalize all drug use and possession, Opioid deaths increase across the US
13. Gangs like MS-13 running rampant across the US
14. No steel or mining industries due to foreign "dumping" of subsidized products
15. No new pipelines and no offshore drilling
16. Medicare for all means rural hospitals will close
17. The dems' "Central Committee" appoints super-delegates to subvert real voters in primaries
18. Pack the US Supreme Court to promote liberal policies
19. Impeach anyone they deem not liberal enough, like Kavanaugh
20. Use the Federal Government to punish conservatives, like the IRS and Lois Lerner hounded conservatives
21. Use the Intel community to spy on the opposition party, like Hillary, FusionGPS, and the FBI/DOJ spied on Trump
22. Block voter ID laws to ensure fraud, and promote "vote harvesting" to steal elections
23. Refuse to provide funding for border walls/security, which DHS says is desperately needed.
24. Give $Trillions to Mexico and Central America for a Marshal Plan, but not help US citizens living in tent cities
25. Impose gun control, outlaw private gun sales, outlaw AR style rifles, restrict sales of bullets, etc.
26. "Green New Deal" Impose a "carbon tax" to punish anyone who works, heats their home, flies, or has a car
27. Anti-business democrat socialists caused Amazon to flee NYC taking 25,000 good paying jobs to VA
28. REPARATIONS to blacks to pay for slavery, $trillions owed by US voters
29. Excuse the murder of unwanted newborns, i.e. "infanticide"
30. Change the Electoral College to popular vote
31. All prisoners get to vote, even the Boston Marathon Bomber, so says Bernie
32. LGBTQ rights, trannys in military
33. Increase domestic surveillance, especially on "white supremacist" organizations
34. Add Senators and congressmen for DC and Puerto Rico
35. Be sure that any "red flag" laws exclude gang members (only get those rural guns)
36. Full welfare and free healthcare for illegal immigrants
37. Eliminate Hallmark channel for being racist, sexist and anti-LGBTQ
38. Eliminate the "cash bail system" whereby all criminals walk out after committing a crime.
39. Nationalize all of the electric utilities making them green by 2030
40. Pass "The New Way Forward Act", bringing back 480,000 deported illegals, giving them free everything

November will be a lot like 2016, except Trump will have a lot more voters in 2020.
