It’s a cult. Trump is viewed as a messiah by his followers.
Sure. The only thing that changes is the sides.
We heard “but Obama” for four years.
SottoVoce:Maybe someone could post some of these Biden quotes.
Sorry. Not playing that game.
I made an observation about something we could all employ and improve the level of discussion here. You’re just calling for remaining at the garbage level of exchange we have already.
Try someone else.
Huh?
On the flip side, left-leaners should be able to do the same about Biden’s stuff. Instead the response is, “But Trump…”
What is the “stuff” that left-leaners should denounce? I’m not being trite. That was told to me in this very thread.
I know it’s hard having to defend the idiot you put in the white house. But the buck stops with the old pervert.
Seems funny you want to cry about trump saying something mean but defend the old pervert who caused the deaths of 13 soldiers and left a lot of US citizens to die in Afghanistan.
Seems to be an admission that your are ok with what jbiden has done or your afraid to anger your idol and his followers.
What am I defending? Where are the statements from Biden in which he has said something which needs defended or denounced? I’m not saying that was from you.
How on earth does any rational person continue to support Trump?
…cuz all that’s left is plan “B”?
What is the point if a statement like this?
It is intentional. It energizes a segment of society that identifies with and appreciates his irreverence. Their support is the source of his leveraged with the party that otherwise might go with another leader.
I never said that.
Sure you did, it’s ok.

Birds of a feather flock together?
There we go.
You couple this statement and the one about Powell and it shows what a petty awful person Trump is. I don’t get how you rationalize away that fact. His policies weren’t that great. He’s certainly no knight.
I haven’t rationalized anything.
He’s certainly no knight.
Most definitely not.

I wasn’t saying “you.” I know your opinion of these statements. I should have used you©
As a Naval Officer, I have nothing but respect for Captain McCain.
As a politician, I didn’t care for Senator McCain.

I agree with that statement.
I did.
No you didn’t.
You posted where I said you should condemn his actions.
I never said if you don’t, you are just like him.
Supreme_War_Pig:What in the world!?
What is the point if a statement like this?
Keeping his name in the news.
Negative attention is better than no attention.
It is intentional. It energizes a segment of society that identifies with and appreciates his irreverence. Their support is the source of his leveraged with the party that otherwise might go with another leader.
Yeah, I get that. I just came up in a time where occupants and former occupants of that office conducted themselves with dignity.
So it still surprises me to see crap like this. It shouldn’t, but it does.

That’s a strong indictment of the GOP if that is true.
Why would we. We are having to much fun watching you defend the pathetic idiot you put in the white house.
Yep. Trump supporters have to defend inappropriate statements. Democrats have to defend the collapse of Kabul, out of control spending bills, out of control inflation, an undefended border, rising Covid deaths, and a supply chain that may be inadequate for Christmas.
Think I’d take inappropriate statements.

Just like in the first half of the 1800’s, you had a political minority that used identity politics to wield outsized power for the express benefit of the wealthiest among them while becoming a rapidly diminishing political minority, and the second that they lost power they tried to destroy the Union.
That’s a strong indictment of the GOP if that is true.
It’s a strong indictment of our present day politics as a whole…when Trump is the best choice but that doesn’t change the fact, that it’s true.
