LD0506 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Ok, he has refined the high art of being a social and political bully, and as such he surrounds himself with a horde of smirking sycophants and wannabes that laugh at his jokes and echo anything that falls out of his spew hole. SCORE! What an achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LD0506 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 A must read.... Quote Separate the United States from these principles and there is not much left. America's claim to leadership is voided permanently, if stripped of a moral component. The German Bundesrepublik, America's child, ushered into being under American tutelage, knows this as perhaps no other nation. To all of this, Trump seems oblivious. He is contemptuous of principle. Words cascade from his mouth and they mean nothing, because when a man of moral emptiness tries to exhort a nation to greatness the only thing communicated is pitiful, almost comical, hypocrisy. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/roger-cohen-on-trump-and-the-erosion-of-american-greatness-a-1176642.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t figure out if his speech writers are totally brain dead or if Trump chooses to adjust their work afterward. I would really like to know the process that takes place there. I'll put ten bucks on "the writers write for a teenaged speaker, and then Trump freelances on the podium". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christians are no different than the rest of humanity, although many will claim exceptionalism. What really sets them apart is the insistence that by being a Christian they have an absolute grasp on truth, dare question that assertion and more often than not they’ll throw god in your face as if their access through prayer results in their own inerrancy. That makes them particularly obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So is that legal? Using the Justice department to go after the media you repeatedly call fake and a enemy of the country?

I'm not comfortable with making fun of her appearance the way we guys always do to famous women. She doesn't have that job because of her look. She is no uglier than Sean Spicer, but we never made fun of his looks either. It's like when people made fun of Nancy Pelosi's looks after she succceeded the hideous fat goblin Dennis Hastert as Speaker of the House, and we guys didn't think it was odd to do so. With that said, I am happy to acknowledge her ever-growing inner ugliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
