>> "Oh, he didn't really mean it like that." He meant it like he said it: As an obvious, impossible-to-miss sarcastic, joking response to the question of whether he would be a dictator on day one. You far more impressionable when it comes to Trump as you have been historically. You and I have agreed about many things over the years, but I have tired of business as usual from the Right. I watched as Trump handled item after item -- from Little Kim to Putin to NATO -- with extreme deft and competence -- avoiding ALL war (only to have Biden and traditional Republicans get us neck deep into a war with Russia and keep us there). I don't want that anymore. I supported Iraq because I believed it was necessary. Today, when I look at the outcome I am not comfortable with what happened there. I believe Trump's strategy of giving Putin breathing room with an understanding of what he could not do was better than the strategy of giving him tacit approval to take over Ukraine, which Biden did. And I'm not sure the McConnells of the world wouldn't have done the same. The United States is fighting for its near-term future. We cannot have Biden reading quadruple spaced answers to selected reporters questions every time he speaks. It convenys weakness and incompetence, and unfortunately, that is what it amounts to.

>> Like I said, i-node, this is yet another example of you guys trying to make up for what Trump said by claiming, "Oh, he didn't really mean it like that." Ten, what are we to say when he in the very instant qualified it as "not meaning that"? How do you ban a candidate for using obvious sarcasm? This is silly. >> How much of a cow did you have when Kathy Griffin held up an image of Trump's bloody head? I don't think it bothered me a lot, but it was beyond the treatment we expect to see for our presidents, it was disgusting, and she was punished, so move on. It wasn't sarcasm, it was hate speech. But hate speech is allowable in the Untied States. >> "Brandon has turned America into a "LITERAL dictatorship"?" I haven't said that, but he has made big authoritarian moves that bother me. For example, you will recall that in 2010, when the CBO told Obama that the ACA budget came up a trillion dollars short, what did they do? They took over the student loan program from banks, who were charging market rates of interest. That gave them early year profits but they soon DOUBLED interest rates on students. Democrats did that. Then, struggled to pay off their loans (my daughter, who was in school then, just paid hers off last week). But this sorry creep Biden goes AGAINST the SUPREME COURT, destroying the Marbury v. Madison precedent the Court is the ultimate decider, he ignores their finding. And starts cancelling debt first, 100s of millions and now moving beyond. All this triggering MORE inflation because you can't just add this stuff to the debt like that. When you do, it is inflationary. So, today, we get an increase. In effect, the public pays for the student loans, while responsible people paid their own way OR repaid their debts. These bums walked away from it and will have their votes stolen by those actions. Biden has violated the rule of law time and again. Last week we learned that the White intervened with both Fannie and Tish in their pursuit of Trump -- something has been historically unacceptable to all. He ADMITTED his "National Eviction Moratorium" was "not likely to pass constitutional muster"? REALLY? THEN WHY THE FUCK DID HE DO IT? After stealing the 2020 election (see: Zuckerberg, the weaponization of Covid, massive election irregularities in Georgia related to absentee ballot counting, irregularities in counting and arbitrarily modifying the essential principles that guarantee internal accounting control of ballots, violations of the laws surrounding mailed in ballot signature matching, etc.), they are now moving forward with efforts to steal the 2024 election (although, the Zuckerberg election theft will be more difficult, given that half of states [mostly red] have comprehended it was election theft and outlawed the tactic). How much of a cow did you have when Obama claimed to Medvedev that he'll have more flexibility after the 2012 election? I was and still am angry about that because it was totally inappropriate for that idiot to have made that comment. That is NOT how you negotiate. Trump hasn't done anything NEAR that insane act. And there was not a hint of sarcasm when Biden did it. It is one thing for a comedian to use hate speech against a sitting president -- it was obscene but not disallowed. Trump using sarcasm is totally within bounds, 100%. There is no reason for him not to do so. That is NOT the same as Obama telling Putin if he'll back off until the election is over they could deal. I have to admit, however -- I do not want Biden or Obama "dealing" with anyone on America's behalf. After Obama stupidly gave Iran cash for doing NOTHING, which was then used against us in beefing up nuclear enrichment capabilities, I think that creep should have been put on trial. And that Biden did it again, and resulted in a thousand dead Israelis is grounds to hold war crimes trials for Biden.
