OOTB's Political Thread . ..

A whole lot of If's in that response... too many.

I've seen plenty of people create doubt even when there is no doubt.

Doubt isn’t relevant if there’s a Democrat in office when he gets elected. I’d say there’s a pretty solid chance of him losing in 2020 unless they nominate another candidate as terrible as Hillary. Which is a feat in and of itself.
 
That’s a good point but I think most of that support would evaporate if there was no doubt he committed treason. Most legal experts think he would be prosecuted after leaving office, so if that’s true and if democrats take the White House in 2020 the odds of him getting pardoned are roughly zero.
If there was a chance he would be prosecuted, he would just resign the day before he leaves office and president Pence would pardon him. Trump isn't going to jail. @strummingram is right, the system is set up to almost eliminate the chance that people with that much power are held accountable.

It would be nice to see a list of the actual crimes he has committed, you know like with actual hard evidence.

If this were anyone but the dotard I would agree with you. I think he has too much ego and would assume he has 2020 in the bag. I just don’t see him resigning

He's still president after the 2020 election. He can ride it out to see if he wins. If he doesn't he can resign before the 2020 winner gets into office.

I’m still not even convinced he would resign in that situation if it meant basically acknowledging his own guilt. I agree with your premise, I just really do think he is that big of a narcissistic moron
 
Saying something you don't agree with doesn't make someone a moron. That term is so overused when talking about politicians.

There are plenty of intelligent people who say things I disagree with. That’s not my issue. He just flat out says stupid shit. Because he’s a moron

Moron may be incorrect. Words like that are vague insults in our vernacular, anyway.

The man possesses incredible drive and resolve to accomplish his goals, if they fall within his capabilities and resources. He's a master bullshitter. He always has been. But... he is a dumbshit, too. His ego will sink him as much as it will advance him. He's too immature and undisciplined to maintain a healthy balance. That's why he resorts to paying women to be quiet... he has no control over his impulses. Whatever the word for that is, he's it.

Again, I'm not saying that he doesn't have weaknesses, just that intelligence isn't one of them. Watch him during the debates. He thinks pretty quick on his feet, much more so than Hillary.

He has no self-control or composure. Moron, idiot, dumb, stupid, fool, and so forth, are all easy go-to insults we use often. They've long since been removed from their actual specific meaning. Dumb, for example, is unwilling to speak, or being incapable of speech. I doubt that is ever used correctly anymore.

Try President of the United States, it fits.

But it is a fact.
Yes, a very obvious fact. "Mr. Trump" is another obvious, fact-based reference. Thank you for illuminating the obvious. I'll be sure and pay attention to your ability to adhere to that standard where others are concerned.

NSA whistleblower says spy agency has ALL of Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails in government database

Assange: Isis and Clinton Foundation are both funded by Same sources

This is some pretty damning news if true. The latter article is an older one, but is still pretty crazy.
You know, that's another thing that I find peculiar. Since Trump was elected, the whole Muslim scare has vanished. I mean, completely vanished. I find it very hard to believe that his mere presence has sent them all running back to their caves (no offense). It just makes me wonder how much of that whole adversary is a "fear-of-the-month (year, decade)" depending on the circumstances.

And, to the article, I doubt anyone is surprised by that. The mechanisms in the US "government" are easily in-bed with whomever or whatever advances their agenda at any given time. They always have been, and always will be. I'd be content with a shared cell for both of the 2016 Presidential candidates if they're guilty of crimes.

This is something that has bothered me. There is almost a complete media blackout over the wars. It's disconcerting to say the least.

You shouldn't, I just cleared it up for you.

You're so right.

I would think this comment should be reported. @BillyL , since you're so well versed in Rivals' rules, would this comment be ok? I'll wait on your response before I tag Andrew.

I see no rules violations . . so, feel free to tag whomever you wish.

If Trump had been responsible for anything remotely connected to that, he'd be tweeting it and giving himself medals for his heroism. Not a word about the troops in the Middle East. No Muslim threats at all. It's like it never happened.

The little bit I've heard about Afghanistan hasn't been good. It sounds like the only part of that country we still are in charge of are the poppy fields and oil pipelines.
