The POTUS
-
Damn! You REALLY enjoy that Kool-Aid! But I suppose that's to be expected of a hardcore socialist (ie. budding communist). ;P
#rightbackatyou I'm well past the age of "budding". But I ma not, never have been, and never will be, a communist. I did want to say though, I apologise if I come over as being rude - I don't really mean to be (usually.. to most people... most of the time...!) but I do get het up in arguments sometimes - even online ones when one has time to cool (kool?) down, and just fire things off...

Bush junior? Dont you remember the piss that the U< press took out of him because of how he speaks?
True - the damage was started in the Nixon era, really, but even in GB's case, although he was taken the mick out of (rather unkindly, it must be said - it's never nice to mock someone for a speech impediment) it was a) never with as much malice as Trump attracts - no-ne ever depicted him as pile of shit - and b) the office (as opposed to the person) of POTUS wasn't demeaned as much as it is now. Trump has managed to drag things to a new low.

So the leftist media prints a picture of Trump as a pile of shit - and it's Trumps fault for making them do it? Nice example of how nothing is the Lefts fault in fact they're not even responsible for their own actions.

Seriously - what is it in that post that is down to "Kool-Aid"? Are you really blaming the Democrats for Trump's outrages?

That you accept the media's version of Trump hook, line and sinker. Don't even question it. It's funny - I don't recall you posting about any of Obama's scandals.

Nope - Trump is a big boy. I just wish the media would even be half so anxious to destroy liberals as they are to destroy others. It gets old.
-
Yeah but such things don't come from nothing. Call people sh*tholes and you can't complain about being called shit yourself, can you?

More of that Kool-aid?! He didn't call ANYONE a shithole. He called a couple COUNTRIES shitholes. Big difference. Kind of like when people call the US the "Great Satan"... right? Or burn the American flag?

God that is such a boring old trope of an argument. "I am rational and independent of thought - you are brainwashed and unthinking." Is that all you've got? Get over yourself.
-
That's not really a relevant difference, but let me re-phrase it for you: call peoples' country a sh*thole and you can't complain if you get called a sh*thole back, can you?

Its a very relevant difference. Folks (like you) who don't see the difference (or don't want to) are calling the comment racist. It's not racist to call a country a shithole - it might even be accurate.

If the shoe fits... You spout nothing but crap spewed by the media... my statement stands.

Point me to where I called that comment racist. Otherwise stfu putting words in my mouth.
-
I wrote folks (like you) who don't see the difference... ...because you seemingly didn't see the difference between calling a person a shithole and calling a country a shithole. Sheesh!
It makes no odds though - call someone's country a sh*thole and you are likely to be called a sh*thole yourself, and can hardly complain about it. That's all I was saying. Besides, the difference is moot - a country is made up of its people. When Trump used that word he wasn't referring to the landscape.

He never called anyone a shithole. He called Haiti a shithole which it is. And if you went there I'm sure you'd say the same. Point still stands - how can you say Trump has dragged it low when it's the Left doing that.

He didnt have a speech impediment, he used to say stupid things.

Probably still does, just not being in the public eye we dont get to hear about them. :)
