The (many) indictments of Donald Trump

You have always seemed reasonable. BUT there are a large number of posters in the PF that proudly admit they hate the left and view them as the enemy. I always thought that mindset was confined to the 3% on the lunatic fringe, but the lunatic fringe seems to have grown to 25% over the past several years. That trend needs to be reversed and the lunatic fringe reduced in numbers.

And once again you have described the exact same actions and behavior of the left. You love to turn your blind eye.
 
Here's one that was paid a visit ....



And Matt Taibbi is pretty much your classic liberal democrat. I give him credit for calling a spade a spade even when he was with Rolling Stone…which is why they canned him. He’s calling it right down the middle now, too. And the leftist don’t like it one bit. The weaponized IRS showing up at his home is textbook leftist political intimidation.

Evidently the lunatic fringe consists of no less than 81 million.
 
As in it can’t be proven? I’ve already admitted that.

I simply considered the source, the thread, and the course of the conversation leading up to the now deleted comment.
“Can’t be proven” seems extremely generous given the context you provided.
 
I went back a few days worth and couldn't find the posts. They were in absolutely no way anything that should have been removed. I would love to repost them all here. But I'm not sure how long ago it was so they may still be there.
The stain in my mind would be mental inaccuracies, prejudices, misconceptions, the effects of rightwing propaganda.
My point all along is that I use agitation as a way to shake people's thoughts or minds like a washing machine uses agitation to clean clothes (or get the stains out).
In other words, anything with which you don’t agree. It’s hilarious that you think yourself the arbiter of truth. And you think Trump has a big ego?
 
I will also add this, the GOP didn't want to win this race or didn't act like they wanted to win this race. They spent very little money on it, Daniel Kelly was outspent like 3 or 4 to 1 and gave it almost no air time. Also, Daniel Kelly wasn't a MAGA candidate, he was an establishment candidate hand picked by Scott Walker.
If Protasiewicz goes way left and the liberal supreme court judges try and start legislating law from the bench, any or all of them can be removed.....
A liberal just won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Republicans are already talking about impeaching her.

I'm no more the arbiter of truth than anyone else posting here. That accusation makes no sense.
Of course I think my opinions are right, if I didn't, I would change them. Maybe what I can do that some of you cannot is put opinions on a continuum.
If I say peperoni is the best pizza topping and you say it's sausage. Fine, that's pretty much 100% opinion - no issue.

If I say Heupel is a great coach for UT and you say he is horrible. 40% opinion -Still fine, but I think you're crazy.

If I say child pornography is bad and you say it is great. 1% opinion - Not so fine and I think you are crazy and evil.
 
I understand that, and I'm pointing out to you, that a politically-motivated prosecution of Joe Biden would have been just fine with then-President Donald Trump and his followers if it had happened in October of 2020.

Only now that their roles have reversed, and Joe Biden is the President and Donald Trump is the challenger, do Trump and his followers suddenly object to a politically-motivated prosecution.

It's blatantly obvious hypocrisy.
The opinions have flipped both ways. As far as I'm concerned, both are hypocrites and don't command a moral high ground here.

Then please use this forum to clear the air. How could the gop have been more actively engaged in the primary process without influencing the results?
First - thanks for keeping it short.

I think the GOP should have been more vocal and aggressive in narrowing the field early. The 17 other candidates should have reduced their numbers more quickly. Candidate A should have said "I am dropping out because we are currently splitting the votes of the reasonable majority and allowing the fringe 15% to speak for the party, I encourage all of my supporters to strongly consider candidate B."
Candidate C then says, "I agree with candidate A, I am removing myself from the race, please consider supporting candidate B."
Candidate D then says, "I'm dropping out also, because as a party we can not allow ourselves to nominate candidate T."

Pepperoni is sausage genius.

So you think candidates should have altruistically put all their own aspirations aside and dropped out? Or should this have been forced by the gop like the Dems did?

You're just thinking everyone agreed that trump was as bad as you have convinced yourself he was. If you think rationally then you realize this is only accomplished by meddling in or rigging the primary like the Dems did in back to back elections.

Maybe. I used to give him the benefit of the doubt. Not so much anymore. And he has deniability here, it’s why I said this -

You looking to hide behind your clever play on “agitate”? Ok, you do you.

But here’s what I do know.

It’s not Trump that most disgusts him. Trump is just a symbol. What he truly loathes is those people that put Trump in power.

It’s those people, and Repubs in the primaries, and all those complicit in the GOP that he denigrates constantly.

He’s in this very thread talking retribution. Those racist, uneducated, gullible, fools.

That’s the context. Most of those posts are still there.

I don't agree at all.
Yes, I think they should have altruistically put their aspirations aside, where did the failure to do so get them? Surely they were smart enough to understand that. The "GOP" shouldn't have forced anything, but they should have actively assisted in a way that would have led those candidates to understand what the wiser choice was.

Here's my example: Next year UT has 3 wide receivers up for an award based on fan vote, the other two that make it to the final five are from bama and OSU. UT fans should pick one UT player and support him. If any of the 3 UT players came out and said, "I'm honored to be on the list but I think Bru has had the better season and I would hate to see a bama or OSU player beat him out because many of you voted for me; therefore, I respectfully withdraw my name and encourage all of you to vote for Bru."

That player would instantly gain the respect and admiration of all.

If Heupel called all 3 in and said "guys, you are all deserving, you all had great seasons, I love you all; but the reality is that either that bama or OSU turd will win if all three of you remain in the race. We need to narrow the 3 of you down to 2, maybe even 1. Let's put our heads together and make it happen to the benefit of all 3." Heupel would be doing a great thing.

If the UT athletic department called in Heupel and the 3 players and went through a similar process, the UT AD would be doing a great thing.
