trump derangement syndrome is a real thing and i think it needs more attention. my ex had it and she would talk about trump all day long. she said she HATED me just because i voted for trump. she said trump is a rapist and all other kinds of shit. she used to have CNN on full volume when she got home from work and watched it religiously.

she knows nothing about politics but she was so involved with hating trump, it affected her mind during the waking hours.

we couldnt have a conversation in the car when we were driving without her bringing up trump and how horrible he is and how he is going to prison.
glad i got out of that.

regardless, i dont want a president who visits cemetaries and does other dumb shit. i want him to get this country back on track.

obama fucking ate hamburgers on tv, hugged people, tapdanced, sang and did all kinds of bullshit for the press. he drove this country into a world of shit.

I have referred to Trump as our first Third Party President. Sure, he's listed as a republican but there are plenty of GOP members that can't stand him and if he was able to make a deal to move things forward with the DNC he would, regardless of platform.

He seems dead set on destroying everything the Democrats built over the last 8 years. And he's constantly pushing Republican agendas. This guy is even less 3rd party than Bernie Sanders is.

His background isn't in politics, he's a New York land developer. When you remember that, much of his persona and actions start to make a lot more sense. The fact that he didn't change those once he took office is what makes so many people love him for his "bare knuckle" attitude an so many revile him for his "bully" tactics.

He's not reviled for his "bully" tactics. he's reviled for his inability to tell the truth on pretty much anything, and how he only does things if they will benefit him or his family personally.

He doesn't take the job seriously and he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.

For the Lefties, "inability to tell the truth" means "doesn't follow the false Leftie Narrative."

No, he's literally incapable of telling the truth about simple things that are easily verifiable, that have no bearing on politics. For example, he said his father was born in a "very wonderful place in Germany" (His father was born in New York. There's paperwork.)

He claimed he secured "the first pay raise in over a decade" for our troops and that it was "one of the biggest ever". Troops pay had increased every year prior to that, execpt for in 1983. and pay raises in 2009, 2010, and 2012 were bigger than the one Trump was trying to take credit for...

Trump has told dozens, if not hundreds of easily fact-checked lies about stupid little things that have no purpose other than to try and make himself look good.

He's a fucking disgrace.

The DNC has never had good relations with the military. They have always been the party of "make love, not war" and consistently call for massive reductions in the armed forces.

That has nothing to do with sports antics and it's been a fact for a very

He's a populist... Theodore Roosevelt wasn't so much. Trump is also
much more against the establishment than we've seen in a very long time
in the White House, which is probably why he won in the first place.
Clinton was the ultimate insider and Trump, the ultimate outsider.

I think that Trump has softened a bit, and fallen into a few pitholes
when it comes to the executive branch though. I don't like some of the

Going to have to disagree with you on this one. What has come out are people on the further polarized sides - those that are more conservative and more liberal - as well as (and I list these as an additional group, not further defining) people adopting far more radical views.

Add to that a personalization of politics, a 24/7 news cycle and social media and you get a much more divisive view of the American political landscape.

What has happened today is those more radical elements have taken a much stronger leadership role in the DNC. On issues like abortion recent legislation has codified the ability to have an abortion as late as 32 to 36 weeks.

As recently as last week you have California changing their criminal statutes regarding same-sex sexual acts between a minor and someone not more than 10 years older - so, say a 24 and 14 year old.

In the midst of all of this there is still a "middle" and truthfully it isn't shrinking as much as you might think. The megaphones just make it difficult to talk over.

No one is stepping up to say he actually said anything about the troops. On several occasions he called John McCain a loser, however McCain was not known to be a pleasant character. In the Navy his nickname was McNasty. There is a lso a social stigma where it is politically incorrect to say anything bad about anyone in the military at the individual level. Some generals were assholes and everyone under thier command will say that. I

mccain was known to have a huge hothead temper.
like how they are scared of what biden might say, back in the day
they were worried someone would piss off mccain and set him off. i was reading about it years ago in my barbershop. i cant remember what the person said but they really got his goat and he turned red with anger but it was at the end of the ralley and they pulled him out.


AND, he basically threw the country under the bus because he didnt like trump. ---

McCain several times tried to push through bills that were blatently unconstitutional - like the Communications "Decency" Act. Even after the courts told him they were unconstitutional he still pushed them.

IHMO: That makes McCain a traitor. Trump was right on calling him a "loser."

mccain was a privileged punk who was the son and grandson of innovative military heros. he pretty much rode on their coat tails through his entire life. they kept him out of trouble and gave him huge opportunities.

the military were going to make him an admiral for nothing.

Really... 100 nights of riots, demanding to dismantle police forces, and pushes for Marxism, and your take away is the center has pushed so far
to the right?

GWB was a centrist, despite speaches for "the base," he was largely a centrist, establishment crony. Much like Obama after him.

Trump is a totally narcassistic, childish asshole in so many ways. But
he's not really a conservative, he's a populist through and through.
He'd be my preference over Biden or Hillary mostly because I agree with
about 2/3 of hist policy actions vs. me agreeing with less than 1/3 of
current Democrat policy trends.

I'm a pragmatic Libertarion, if I had my choices, it wouldn't be either.
I didn't vote for Trump, I didn't vote for Obama either. In the end
it really depends on specifics of policy action.

I do find it funny that Trump was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for succeeding on implementing many of Obama's campaign promises. 2
historic treaties in the middle east, a troop reduction plan as well as
the first president since Carter not to create new military conflict zones.

Going to have to disagree with you on this one. What has come out are people on the further polarized sides - those that are more conservative and more liberal - as well as (and I list these as an additional group, not further defining) people adopting far more radical views.

The US has a roughtly 8% population of "Far Left" largely embraced by
the Democrat party.

The US has a roughly 4-5% population of what is labelled as "Far Right"
or actual fascist leaning, largely rejected by the Republican party.

That's the real difference. Roughly twice as many far left (Marxist
leaning) that are embraced by one party, as the other extreme which
really aren't embraced by the opposing party.

McCain could've sat out the entire war and stayed in his role as a flight instructor. In Steven Coonts book The Cannibal Queen he made reference to
the Navy Blue Angels being important for recruitment, so they weren't rotated into combat units umless they volunterred. Why would a pilot in an elite aero batic team wish to leave the poshy life to do a tour on an oily ship?
Medals. The pilots coming back had loads of shiny service awards and tour badges, and that made them feel like a lesser man. Coonts said you can tell
if a pilot was a Blue Angel by the way they carriend themself, plus their
boots were polished and their flight suits weren't saturated and stained by hydraulic fluid. He recalled a story about one pilot who tried to make
several passes over an anti-aircraft gun versus flying in low and fast, pickling off all his bombs at once. By the third flyby the NVA figured his approach angle out and weren't taking prisoners that day. The NVA were not entertained by his impromptu airshow.

look at Schiff and all his blatent lies during impeachment HOAX.
the left is scared to death.

Mainly because they know that if they don't hold power, they will be held accountable for their crimes (many of which the public is completely ignorant of).

I'm still waiting for Ghislaine Maxwell to "commit suicide".

So does that make Trump a loser for signing executive orders that were ruled "unconstitutional" by the courts, even after he was warned about them?

To the best of my knowledge, Trump didn't just write another executive order just like the one that was unconstitutional.

McCain did. Several times. And they were unconstitution by violating the first amendment - pretty clearly so.

Could have been worse. He could have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize for maybe doing something in the future.

Oh, like the Democrats keep doing.

Last I heard, the major failures in this country have been happening in states and cities that have been under Democrat control for a long, long time.

Yep, definitely deflecting.

Deflection is a Leftie tactic.
