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.

Parts of the Bahamas are completely destroyed. Many have lost their lives. Parts of the east coast can still be hit and this moron is obsessed with trying to defend his lie. He gives pathological liars a bad name.

C'mon he snips a tiny percentage of the military budget that were going to go to projects that aren't so important.

That means he doesn't care?

FTFY
Was Alabama really on a CNN forcast?

I feel like you should often read articles by people you don't agree with (whether you like the person is irrelevant). Anyone who isn't open to hearing from people they don't agree with will never learn and grow.
The reason I dislike them is because I have read many of their articles or watched their speeches. I watch FOX all the time just to see what the Kool-Aid drinkers are saying.

watching fox to see "what the koolaid drinkers are saying" is not the same as listening or reading ideas that you might not agree with.  One approach allows more room to be convinced of something you didn't agree with while the other seems to just be a way to dig in deeper into your already formed beliefs.
The problem with fox, CNN, and cable news in general is that they don't even attempt to convince others that their ideas are right, they just speak to those who already share their beliefs.

Don't get me wrong. There are many Kool-Aid drinkers on MSNBC also. I watch many people I disagree with and learn new things/ideas. I use to watch O'reilly all the time. I disagreed with him a lot but he wasn't a Kool-Aid drinker.

No the Kool-Aid drinkers will still be drinking the Kool-Aid. That is why they need their head examined. This guy is more incompetent than Carter.

I voted 3p in 2016. We'll see what happens in 2020.
He's basically everything I was scared of regarding trade wars and being a pathological liar and narcissist. On the pro side, he's far more pro-Israel than I expected, so there's that.

I fully understand why many feel he is pro-Israel so need to rehash that. How does that help US and the average American?

Having a strong democracy and ally in a hostile region is a good thing for US interests.

It's better than being pro the other side:

Don't forget SCOTUS!!!!

In general the policies advanced under his administration are ones I prefer over what would be under any of the opposing candidates.

No matter who the president is we will have that. So if it was Clinton instead of Trump they would still be a strong ally. Basically a non issue as how it effects the US and average Americans.

Don't buy into that. Many here hated BO. What was weakened under BO? How about the second Bush?
If you are so worried about weakened allies there is no way in h*ll you should vote for Trump with what has happen with NATO. That is unless you are only concerned about certain allies.  :)
