I don't get how you can keep bullshitting 42. It's remarkable. If what a person says makes them crazy then Trump is batshit. But you'll bend over backward to help him avoid the consequences of his words while taking every opportunity to fault someone like Pelosi for hers.

I have no problem holding Trump to his words. It's the mischaracterizations that I don't approve of.

But, go ahead, and quote some batshit crazy Trump stuff, and I'll tell you if I agree. Remember. I said "quote" him. That's what I did of Pelosi. Quote - not rephrase.

That's not the part I find remarkable though. What's remarkable is that you insist on doing this around us 24/7, like we don't know any better. What's that about man? What the fuck do you want?

To dick around a discussion forum for shits and giggles. What the fuck do you want? Why do you insist on stating your views around us 24-7?

It's obvious Pelosi is crazy because she supports what you don't like, and Trump, despite actually being crazy is good because he supports what you want.

I don't believe she's literally crazy. I think her policy platform is awful, and some of the things she said are hilarious - in the same way gaffes and stupid statements by anyone else is crazy.

Why is it that you only lodge these kinds of White Knight defenses when humor and mockery is leveled at Democrats?

I don't agree that Trump is crazy. I think his policy platform is overall excellent, as is his economic policy, military policy, and his successes are undeniable.

Now, if you want to talk about specific things he says or said that deserve ridicule or mockery, please, by all means, rack-em-up. Let me know what you think are some good ones. Quotes.

I'm glad you don't actually think she's crazy, and that what's important to you is the policies she supports.

Nanci: Politics. I have a picture of Trump for you, where his mouth is an asshole. But let's just imagine it.

They'll move further and further left

If the Dems keep moving left, they might eventually hit the center!

Again, how is Pelosi a looney? I've asked this before and no one can give me an answer. Every time I've heard her speak it's always been reasonable and sensible. I haven't heard an argument against her which didn't resort to some sexism.

“Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs.” - N. Pelosi.

In 2012, when describing the effect of Obamacare she said: “And everybody will have lower rates,” on premiums. N. Pelosi, Meet the Press.

In 2013, when doing damage control, she said, "I don’t remember saying that everybody in the country would have a lower premium.”

Prior to Obamacare's passage, she said (rather than releasing the text of the proposed bill), “We have to pass the bill for you to find out what’s in it.”

Listen to this: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4713541/ ... eaking-law - she just starts out saying that we shouldn't punish the children of illegal immigrants for the wrongs of their parents (the wrongs being entering the US illegally), and then she proceeds to obsequiously THANK the wrongdoing parents for bringing their children here to the US illegally. So, not only ought kids not be punished for their parents wrongdoing, but also the parents should be THANKED for their own wrongdoing.

And yet you support the far bigger gaff prone and lying Trump.

, but you can't get that through to anyone who doesn't know the difference between a social democracy and socialism. Anything to the left of Milton Friedman is "there be dragons" territory to them.

Nancy Pelosi: ‘They Come After Me Because I’m Effective’

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... ew-696750/
So if the election is not about regime change here at home, what is your vision for checks and balances? Would a lot of the next two years be about boxing Trump in?
It’s about who has the leverage. Like, we killed them on the Omnibus bill. You know why? Because we are united, and they are not. They need our votes; that gives us leverage. They wanted to put all this money into defense. And we said, “We have to have the same amount of money domestically – parity in the increase.” They just don’t believe in domestic investment. Even though the domestic agenda is one-third security. They didn’t want to do it. But then they had to [because House Republicans couldn’t agree on a budget that could also clear the Senate]. And when we got that money, we were able to do much more for opioids, the National Institutes of Health and all these other investments. So unhappy were the Republicans, 90 of them voted against the bill. Just to show how well we did.

Undead Bill wasn't going without a fight. I imagine he's shocked, shocked I tell you, that after 40 years rooting at the public trough he .... he .... LOST. How dare they treat him in so cavalier a fashion? Have they no respect? No decency???

Lol, the Tampa Bay Times conducted a poll of 200 of Florida's "top politicos" last Sunday. Most of them predicted both Gillum and Nelson would win, Democrats AND Republicans. Experts, eh?

"Third party voters are like someone drowning and rejecting a life preserver because it's not their color."

third party voters reject the whole 2 party system man... sure, bot the crazies and the dems are so entrenched it's like pissing in a fiddle, but voting for either of them is only comforting them in their positions... I reject the main parties in France and generally vote either null or canidates who have no chance of being actually elected, but I know what I'm doing, those lying pig dogs will never have my vote again, period.

[Tero]

Ah but then you have presidential elections with two round. Leaves out all minor parties on second round.

[Svartalf]

which is why I often vote null... neither of the 2nd round contestants having found favor with me (prime example : the last onesn though technically both contestants were from minor parties that time, still not to my taste)
