What is it with you and the lukewarm thing? You would think you could come up with something better and more accurate than that.
This Trump presser today -- pure gold
- Thread starter Blue2010
- Start date
He even explained that 37 years ago! And, the irony of this clip is staggering:
A person doesn't have to actually BE in-touch with his constituency in order to win their favor! Is this your first trip to the freak show?
Here ya go; Do you really think YOU are in-touch with how HE lives HIS life?
37 years ago...you're really reaching now.
Contrarily, do you believe that the Democratic party is in-touch?
Yeah... good point. Toss that Bible because, hell, it's over 2000 years old. No one thinks like that now!
It wouldn't matter if that statement were made today or 100 years ago. I only used HIS statement because of the source being relevant since he is now president. The point was; You don't have to actually be a part of your constituency in order to gain their favor.
I don't believe political groups are in or out of touch with anything necessarily.
Politics is like religion and any other institution that needs a certain element to exist so THEY can exist. It's self-preservation. If everyone (average citizens) coexisted on their own abilities, there'd be no need for politics, government, or religion. So, those things must create (and maintain) polarities to ensure their relevance.
Strum,
I am sure this is mutual, but you never cease to amaze me. Are you seriously comparing the Bible, which is a first-hand account of what factually happened during that time...to a person's opinion 37 years ago? Wow.
I don't have any more comment than I've alreadu offered but I just want to say that I'm completely enjoying the daily meltdown from the left. For me, it's like duke losing a game every day. I said I was going to get off of a Facebook for a while but I can't do it. I'm not commenting on people's poasts (I've never been big on that), but watching people crying daily has been entertainment gold.
That's it. I'm out until Tuesday. GFY everybody.
That's it. I'm out until Tuesday. GFY everybody.
I'm using an extreme as a comparison because you decided to disregard a truth because it was 37 years old. WTF does it matter when he said it? It doesn't even matter that HE said it. I only used his comment because he HAPPENS to be president NOW. Forget that I used his statement. Forget that he even said it. He;s not the only person to be aware of it.
The point is (and has been for 3 posts now): YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PART OF YOUR CONSTITUENCY TO GAIN THEIR FAVOR! So, if you believe that because he "won" that he is automatically in-touch with his constituency, then this must be your first trip to the carnival.
Anarchy doesn't automatically equal chaos. It does if all of us think like you. But, we don't all think like you. Unfortunately, enough of us do, so those institutions remain relevant and probably will for a long time.
It's not the first time he's said something bad about Trump so I think he will be fine.
It's a little frightening to me that Trump's supporters just gloss over the point of the Smith rant.
I'm not glossing over it. Your insinuation was that Fox doesn't have anyone on the network that isn't 100% pro Trump and if they were they would get fired. I was just pointing out the fact that your insinuation is inaccurate.
Exactly. I don't trust them but I certainly want to know what the "drivel du jour" is.
Sorta like Obama not knowing anything about anything "until I heard it on the news, just like all of you"? How many times did he feed us that BS?
I hope they don't. I was surprised, frankly. Then again, I don't watch their shows. I just saw the MM Tweet.
I'm sure it's just his genes.
I don't even know WTF you're talking about. What does Obama have to do with any of this?
Well, that would be a wrong point of view. I guess it's all relative though.
Something he said years ago just like trump. Pay attention, sit up straight, follow along!
Again, an ironic statement. You crap on the right a ton. You somewhat crap on the left too. You're the one that's lukewarm, and not just in politics. You put a lot of effort into critiquing things, but you never take a stand on anything, outside of bizarre "if I wouldn't harm someone then there's no way they would harm me" and "we can't possibly begin to comprehend someone else's viewpoint if we're not the exact same age/gender/race as them" type statements.
Exactly... I crap on them. I don't pretend otherwise. I'm quite vocal and distinct when I criticize or show favor. Critiquing them IS taking a stand! When have I left you in the dark about where I stand on an issue? I'm so distinct that you even create strawmen to try and challenge me. You know that better than anyone. If anything, I provide the adversary for the board, politically and socially... usually.
0910 is much less distinct. His contribution usually consists of seeing if he can undermine my critique. So, if critiquing is not taking a stand, then where is the "taking a stand" part in undermining the critique?
If you ever have any confusion as to where I stand on an issue feel free to ask me. Just because I don't rant and rave like a lunatic like some posters on this board do doesn't mean I don't take a stand.
Okay? And? The context and the point of the statement are not even closely the same thing.
Do you really believe that a person who wins elections is always in-touch with his constituency? When I say "in touch", I mean- knows their plight, experiences life as they do? In the case of Donald Trump, he has no understanding of that at all. He can't possibly given his upbringing.
Sometimes reading poasts I feel like I'm at a dramatic reading, performed as a rap, while attending a poetry slam. You can guess which poasts.
when did I ever say that Barack Obama was in touch with his constituency either?
Ok, they don't do it about every single thing, but here are a few of them:
GSD
THN
Billy
UNC boy
HN
Chick
71
G7
Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Is that satisfactory to you?
And what you're describing about me is balanced, it has nothing to do with being lukewarm.
I amended it and now I'm apologizing for being presumptuous about your stance. Especially after your instructions.
Is there anyone out there that could possibly be president, other than yourself? Instead of bitching about the one we have offer up an alternative. Make a stand, tell us poor souls who you think is truly qualified to be president.
