US politics general thread

Wasn't the point of this thread to keep the discussion focussed on US politics in general, not just the never-ending Trump/anti-Trump circle jerk?

Take it to the Trump thread.

I thought it was to get away from Xarog's conspiracy theories... Trump is integral to US politics like it or not, especially when he has a week like he just had.

 

[RanzB]

So, now you're defending your own thoughtless responses that unquestioningly defend Trump's behavior?

Had to happen.

You must have missed where that thread went off the rails completely. And sure, call it a circle jerk. It's not unexpected

 

[RanzB]

especially when he has a week like he just had.

Oh but to conservatards it was another week in heaven. Even when he said one stupid thing and they defended him, then turned around and said he was mistaken when he spoke, and they bent over and took it once more.

Such dedication. Truly admirable to see the love for Dear Leader.

So much fail in your logic:
1: not defending anything
2: we're talking about a, perceived, lack of criticism, not responses in general, do try not to confuse the two
3: I'm quite confident if I ever actually defend Trump it would only be to point out the hypocrisy in his critics or the insanity in the alternative. "unquestioning" it sure as hell is not, feel free to prove me wrong

That's pretty much all you and the other Trumpites do The whataboutism never stops :crylaugh:

Your posts remind me of the following excerpt from Hannah Arendt's 1951 book - "The origins of totalitarianism". In which he describes the rise of Hitler and Stalin.

 

[RanzB]

Damn buka.. assuming Hannah's gender like that...

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

Ah the old trusty, and ever facepalm resulting own goal, tactic of appealing to logical fallacy gods :crylaugh:

As if it is universally accepted and cast in stone that 'whataboutism' is only ever a bad thing. In a world where rabid lefties scream for the impeachment of a president without a shred of real evidence it is only logical to appeal to reason instead and ask whether they have considered the alternative that they may well give birth to ...

Yeah sure bud, of course you'd think so, seeing as how it's your only method of arguing.

And yeah, keep going with your 'without a shred of evidence' and 'farcical investigation' nonsense as more indictments and charges are brought

I understand that, but posts like this:

Is not US politics.

There are other interesting things in US politics other than repeating what all of you already believe about Trump.

 

[RanzB]

Is not US politics.

Describing Trump's flip flops and conservatards reactions of pure worship even when he flip flops isn't US Politics? :crylaugh:

Shame, is the truth getting a bit much for you?

 

[Rustie]

Basically heard a CNN political analyst guy say live on TV that all indicators are that Trump will be a single term president.

It's now been ongoing longer than the Hildebeest investigation. You yourself said in this very forum that the length of time in that case is proof enough of innocence. So you would agree that Trump is therefor cleared of any wrongdoing.

Except you're going to call it whataboutism when it is actually highlighting your obvious bias.

EDIT: should have read Sanders not Hillary

Basically every single election poll said Trump would never be president.

orly

A House Select Committee investigation that lasted more than two years and cost over $7 million concluded last June that there was no new evidence of culpability or wrongdoing on the part of Clinton.

IYou yourself said in this very forum that the length of time in that case is proof enough of innocence. .

Can you source this please? And of course, by saying the above you say that you agree with that statement?

Except you haven't shown anything, as usual

I don't mind people posting articles on stuff Trump does.

Shame, is the truth getting a bit much for you?

Nah, it is just getting boring.

There's a remedy for that. Head to FOX News and you can read all about how Dear Leader is MAGA-ing.

Edited, my bad, was mixing up your two political heroes, it was the Sanders case:

:crylaugh: Who's mad? Investigation started January 2016, charges - zero And yet to some, hiring an attorney = guilty :crylaugh:

Except you haven't shown anything, as usual
