Trump suffers hammer blow

[sparky]

Why do people feel the need to constantly wave the US flag around and put it in their signature?

Because we're Americans, and this is the UNITED STATES message board

No other country's citizens feel the need to keep reminding themselves what country they are in.

Well apart from this one I mean:

His attempt to appeal against the sexual abuse verdict has failed. Maybe his new buddy will pay his fines for him.

People like you put ideology and Party before country and despite all the evidence to the contrary, it's Neo-Marxist ideology as your first thought and referral to Mao's "Little Red Book" not the U.S. Constitution that you refer to first.

Please note that "putting country first" (whatever it ultimately means to you) is an example of an ideology, one called "nationalism".

He’s not claiming immunity in his appeal you idiot

I know, I'm just emphasizing that he has no protection by being president.

'We the people' is not in any shape or form an example of nationalism

What does that mean "pride in your country"? it's meaningless, pointless, sheeple mentality.

Elevating one's "country" to a "first" position above all other considerations is idolatry and nationalism is idolatry where the "nation" becomes the idol. The Germans tried it, it didn't end well for them. They too put their country first, nothing good came out of it.

You're referencing jingoism , which is not the same as nationalism Sherlock

You are pointing out something that he nor anyone outside of bill Clinton ever claimed

No, the newspaper article pointed it out, I merely quoted the text of the article.

You said "putting country first" and that's nationalism

The US is always killing people overseas for one "reason" or another so Jingoism isn't inappropriate either, the belief in a divine right to kill anyone anywhere for the "national interest" the view that the US is always morally right in it's killing, a benevolent power forced to make "difficult" decisions.

He’s pointing out that you are comparing national socialist Germany, which exercised jingoism to putting one’s country first

Jingoism is a form of nationalism that nobody is promoting in the untied states

The United States is jingoist look at Vietnam, Laos, Iraq, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Latin America, Ukraine...it's ingrained into the US psyche to kill people in far off countries.

But the US is killing in Palestine, Yemen and Ukraine so it doesn't matter that it's not the 1960s.
