Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Well I am glad to hear that.
So just so I understand you correctly. You have no problem supporting such a person with so many personal flaws as long as you agree with his policies?
It's a trade off I'm willing to take. We don't get to pick and choose, it's a whole package - either take it or leave it.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

So if your religious leader had these flaws and you agreed with his decisions you wouldn't have a problem?

Of course you are going to say that because your answer would be totally different. The most powerful leader of the free world, making decisions affecting tens of millions of people and you don't care about his despicable behavior. Your religious leader affecting very few people and all of a sudden you care.

The way I look at trump, is that he’s a leader of a country that for the most part has gone over the deep end morally ( same gender marriage, abortion for starters) So America deserves a leader  morally corrupt like him

A religious leader is looked to for moral leadership. I don't look at the Pres for that.

Sooner or later one would hope than anyone with an ounce of decency will say enough is enough.
Ben Shapiro described it very well at UCONN. Trump is a mud monster. No matter how much mud you throw at him he won't look worse than the mud monster he already is.

Trump now has four mass shootings (including the worst in our history) under his short watch. His only response today is mental health. I guess this type of response is acceptable to the Trumpsters.

Four per year is actually pretty in line with what it has been in recent years unfortunately.

There may be a portion of his supporters for whom that's true. But there's a whole other segment that also will never change their minds, simply because they choose not to believe anything negative about him. Then I'm sure their is a tiny minority who finally turn on him with each new scandal - but not a large enough group to have any impact. That's my take on the matter.

That has also been the primary response if the Republicans leadership throughout the Obama years. Surely you didn't expect anything different from Trump.

He has done a lot of things I didn't expect. It would be nice to see one of them be for something good.

I actually expected him to say that illegal immigrants are responsible for more deaths than AR15s.  But he had to go with the tired old mental illness response.

Mental health must be phenomenal in Canada, Australia and the UK. They haven't had any of these nutcases there. Must be the free psychiatrists of social health care...

I'm not sure where you're getting your graphs from, but... Here's this from Wikipedia.
 The last mass shooting with 10+ victims in Canada happened in Montreal in 1989. It claimed 14 lives. Since that time, the USA has had 22 such events, claiming 444 victims.
The population of the USA is a bit less than  10 times that of Canada.

During that time, England had 2 such shootings with 30 victims in total.
The population of the USA is a bit less then  6 times that of Britain.
The US is by far the deadliest of the developed democracies for gun violence and gun deaths.

Australia has had one attack in 1996, which claimed 35. Since they instituted strict gun control, they haven't had any.
Australia's population is  a bit less than Canada.

Facts matter.

The chart I used counted 4 or more deaths. Yes facts matter. Picking through them to find the ones which suit you and ignoring others means you are not going by fact but by what you want them to show.
