Amateur Hour Continues

Because he was a Republican gaffe machine with bad policies and Obama was a Democrat with fewer gaffes but many of the same bad policies plus some new ones. The juxtaposition was supposed to illustrate that Trump’s unpopularity is based on the totality of the circumstances, not his politics of stupidity.

The number of gaffes is largely dependent on media coverage and protection. Biden was a gaff a minute clown when the media thought he was just funny and of no consequence. Right now, he's doing his level best to be the good ole Joe we always knew ... despite the media cover. If Joe could only twit like the twit he is.

 

[AM64]

I missed something...who are the tiki torch dudes?

Keep up, McDad. That would be the anti-Antifa brigade. The ones who show up with a permit to promote their warped view of things.

 

[AM64]

I agree with you, there. I believe in redemption because I believe in the Redeemer.

And, to your point, I find former politicians to be more admirable than when they were in office.

Even the lobbyists and the speech givers and "authors" who trade on their time in office to amass fortunes?

 

[Velo Vol]

2016 Tennessee Code :: Title 15 - Holidays :: Chapter 2 - Days of Special Observance :: § 15-2-101. Additional special observance days.

I checked and sadly my church isn't doing anything to observe NBF Day, as the statute suggests.

 

[Weezer]

Bush looked like an idiot sometimes. I still respected him.

Disagreed with Obama on a whole host of policies. Still respected him.

People being put off by Trump is not just about politics and to say so minimizes the myriad other reasons people have for detesting him.

True.
The attempts by redhatters to normalize Trump as "just another typical politician" while also stating that he was elected specifically because he was "not just another typical politician" are bizarre.
Trump is not normal and should never be viewed as such.
If his abnormalities are why a person chooses to support him, so be it, that's on them; but never claim he is just another normal politician.

Trump is just another politician, but without the fancy wrapper. I can point to any number of politicians that are liars or adulterers, two things often pointed out about Trump when describing him as immoral. All of this "plenty of reason" to detest him argument, why do you not vocally protest these other politicians as well? Could it be they share your political views?

I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to take your argument seriously when your outrage is so obviously selective. I mean, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are almost the same guy with the exception that Bill was all wrapped up in that nice politician image. And there are still some on here who sing Bill's praises and defend him. And you want me to take you seriously when you talk about how horrible Trump is? He's a despicable person, just like other past presidents, but a lot of the complaints are obviously politically motivated because you've supported people very much like him who shared your political ideology.

Here comes Captain Moral Equivalence to the rescue!

 

[0nelilreb]

Here comes Captain Moral Equivalence to the rescue!

Hasn’t that always been the case in politics ... “ your guy is worse than mine “ is not , is too . Well you suck , no you suck . It’s the circle of political life .

 

[Weezer]

Here comes Captain Moral Equivalence to the rescue!

This is what they post when they can't dispute the truth.

 

[evillawyer]

This is what they post when they can't dispute the truth.

If you think there's a moral equivalence between Trump and Clinton you need to have your moral compass recalibrated.

 

[Velo Vol]

I mean, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are almost the same guy with the exception that Bill was all wrapped up in that nice politician image.

When was it that Clinton publicly called the UK government dumb because of an email one of its diplomats sent?

These petty, childish antics are just one thing that makes Trump different from all the other politicians.

 

[Weezer]

If you think there's a moral equivalence between Trump and Clinton you need to have your moral compass recalibrated.

Both liars, both adulterers, both accused by multiple women of inappropriate behavior. Considering Bill carried out an affair in the WH and got caught lying under oath, I think him slightly worse as a person. A better politician, but in no way a good person.

 

[Burger]

You would not believe how many times Trump has let the "silent truth" slip. It's actually quite funny.

 

[Velo Vol]

Heh.

 

[JCP201]

Both liars, both adulterers, both accused by multiple women of inappropriate behavior. Considering Bill carried out an affair in the WH and got caught lying under oath, I think him slightly worse as a person. A better politician, but in no way a good person.

And one was first elected almost thirty years ago-- Have we not evolved at all? I certainly have. (and I didn't vote for Clinton initially, but learned to respect how he worked with other parties and the budget) Trump excuses White Supremacist-- but but.. Democrats started Klu Klux Klan. Are we suppose to just keep our thoughts to ourselves, because one President or another did something he did? What about the whole of it all when it comes to him and his almost daily idiocy?

As long as I have lived, I can think of no president who has put on such a side show.

 

[McDad]

Even the lobbyists and the speech givers and "authors" who trade on their time in office to amass fortunes?

Yes.

 

[DynaLo]

If you think there's a moral equivalence between Trump and Clinton you need to have your moral compass recalibrated.

You're probably correct there on the non-equivalency as there is a very much higher chance of Bill going down for abhorrent crimes than of that happening to Trump.

 

[Velo Vol]

All presidents say this about dictators. Trump is no different.

 

[Burger]

I wonder how many times people can fall for his gas-lighting?

Let’s see some quotes of me supporting Clinton. I’ll hang up and listen.

Bonus points if you can show where I said my dislike for Trump was based on his lies and adultery.

 

[AM64]

Heh.

Is feigned outrage going to include that Bedford County change it's name? Maybe if Memphis hadn't illegally removed a statue, others wouldn't have moved to honor Forrest. Perhaps Ted Cruz should read a little history .... maybe even consider that without Tennesseans he might be a Mexican fool rather than just a simple fool.

Did you also know that Forrest led the move to disband the Klan version 1 in 1869 because he believed it was "being perverted from its original honorable and patriotic purposes, becoming injurious instead of subservient to the public peace"? That it had moved from the fraternal social club that he and five other former Confederate officers founded three years earlier in 1866 to an organization resisting Reconstruction?

The Klan version 2 started in 1915 on Stone Mountain ... just outside Atlanta; it was not at all what Forrest started.

Thank you President Obama for turning our economy around and leading us to where we are today. Hopefully Trump won't run it into the ditch again before he leaves. As far as the rest of that list goes some is good some is bad. Some things will work out some won't.

Just like a typical libtard, cannot give credit to Trump regardless. Obama can do no wrong. Everything bad that happened during Obamas tenure? Oh well it was Bush's fault. Now anything good happening during Trump, oh well that was thanks to Obama.

Wow. You guys just cannot handle the fact that Trump is doing better than your golden boy did.
