I said that I was not going to participate in the Trump thread,  Not all political threads.  You wish that to be the case, but its not and never was intended to be.

No meds interfering  just to let you know.  The stress levels I have had have been rather high as of late for some strange reason and I expressed the need to function at a different level in this thread, by letting it go and trying to move on.
.
You seem to be spending too much time worrying about me lately.  I do not need your's or anyone else's 
pity.

Since you insist that I mean what I say.  Ok.  I guess I'll have to try my best to leave this thread for good.  

Don't want to have you moderate me and all.

So as much as I would actually like to reply to some questions asked of me below, I'll just leave them go so as to make you and everyone else happy.

Trump's buddy Alex Jones shows just how batshi^-crazy and irresponsible he is. This is the kind of nuttiness you'd expect from the homeless guy with the tinfoil hat... 


No, NASA is not hiding kidnapped children on Mars


The situation for human beings on Mars is dire, and not just because the red planet's atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and the average temperature is -81 degrees.

There's also the issue of the child-trafficking ring operating in secret on the planet 33.9 million miles from earth, according to a guest on the Alex Jones Show.

We actually believe that there is a colony on Mars that is populated by children who were kidnapped and sent into space on a 20-year ride,” Robert David Steele said Thursday during a winding, conspiratorial dialogue with Jones about child victims of sex crimes. “So that once they get to Mars they have no alternative but to be slaves on the Mars colony.”

I'm barely posting lately in case you haven't noticed.  And if I was picking fights I would not be posting general thoughts directed at no one in particular.  I'm not leaving RP anytime soon, never said I was.  Just modifying my participation in this particular thread.  There's plenty to talk about, like how things are finally turning to former AG Lynch, Clinton and particularly Obama regarding all this Russian election meddling bull puckey.  If I wanted to be provocative and start some shit, I could say something like we're finally finding out how much of a pussy Obama really is, especially when it comes to Russia, but I won't.  Got other things to do ...

So, how's that adjustment involving not allowing his obsessive consumption of talking head news programs, and his obsession with responding on twitter like an 38th grader to any perceived criticism regardless of validity, to interfere with him doing his job going so far?

Oh Islander, didn't anyone tell you? You're a replicant. Did you enjoy your dream about the unicorn?

"He said, they said" descends to the level of creepy nuttiness: Mika and Joe claim that Trump's aides were blackmailing them:

The two hosts also injected an element of supermarket tabloid intrigue by asserting that top White House aides had contacted them to say that they could prevent The National Enquirer from publishing a negative article about them if they called the president, apologized for criticizing him on their show and asked for his forgiveness.

Mr. Trump soon fired back with a rejoinder, posting on Twitter that it was the other way around — that Mr. Scarborough had initiated an attempt to stop the Enquirer story — which the host then denied in a tweet of his own, saying he had records to prove he was right.
...



Mr. Scarborough said they were repeatedly told that if they called the president and apologized for their coverage, Mr. Trump would intervene on their behalf. “We ignored their desperate pleas,” they wrote.

After the show aired, the fight moved to Twitter. Mr. Trump fired a volley, tweeting that he had watched the “low rated @Morning_Joe for first time in long time” and called it “FAKE NEWS.”

Referring to Mr. Scarborough, he wrote: “He called me to stop a National Enquirer article. I said no! Bad show

...

(Scarborough responded with a tweet):
Yet another lie. I have texts from your top aides and phone records. Also, those records show I haven't spoken with you in many months.
 


(You know your country's in trouble when the National Enquirer weighs in as an impartial, restrained party:)


In a statement, The National Enquirer defended an earlier story on Ms. Brzezinski and Mr. Scarborough and said it had “absolutely no involvement” in any discussions between the co-hosts and the White House.

 

“At no time did we threaten either Joe or Mika or their children in connection with our reporting on the story,” said Dylan Howard, the vice president of news for American Media Inc., the Enquirer’s publisher.

Study: Networks Give 28x More Coverage To Trump Tweets Than Kate’s Law

A new study by the Media Research Center shows that broadcast networks gave 28 times more coverage to Trump’s “Morning Joe” tweets than they did Kate’s Law passing in the House, a sure sign that his tweets may be distracting from his overall legislative agenda.
 
It's true that, assuming he won't be impeached, it's irrelevant how obnoxious and inappropriate his tweets are. The real action (except for the global loss of respect for America) is behind the curtain. That includes the change in policy that makes him and his elites richer. And that can't be taken back.

There used to be a philosophy that the greatest man came and took what he wanted: women, goods, power. Then Christianity taught people to be meek and giving - because they'll get their reward after they die.

Trump seems to believe in the first approach: "I don't care what you think of me, or of an afterlife - because I'm going to make this life a good one for me and my loved ones. Good luck to the rest of you."

Where did I say it was OK ?  I said it was funny in comparison to what the two say about Trump on a regular basis.  That's as far as it went.  As a semi occasional viewer, I see what they say first hand.  That most here agree with their thoughts is what it is.  I think that they are fair game though.  If they can dish it out, they better be willing to take it.  Show me where in the rules that says Trump has to take it and cannot respond in kind.

The rest was merely an observation of what I see to be shaping up for the visiting team's half of the second inning.  He got his butt kicked in the top half of the first.  There was no endorsement of these observations what so ever.  I didn't say what he should do or not do.  Show me if I'm mistaken.
 
That's disappointing. You're not willing to clearly repudiate such behavior. It colors the others things you'll say.

I really do NOT like to make this forum about the other people ("You're a nincompoop!" "No, you are!") and would rather make it about the issue: Trump. But you've been a voice that's pro-Trump and I've wanted to hear an honest supportive perspective. But now I think that I can't be so open-minded, since it looks like it's spin, no matter what.

I think its funny.  At least compared to what Joe and Mika say about him.  Anyone here actually watching them live ?  I watched them more than anyone else during the campaign to see how they covered him.  They were pretty chummy with Trump until he won.  Now they have done a 180 and returned to normal.  I still try to watch just for a different point of view, but its getting harder and harder.  And they actually believe what they are saying.  Its not out of bounds in their minds.  Its what they hear in their own little echo chamber.  Is what it is.  

But they better get used to receiving back what they dish out.  Like I mentioned, Trump's now on offense and payback is gonna be a bitch.

Say what you want about him but he's figuring things out and making adjustments.  The other side has shown him what they have.  Now that he knows what he has to fight, he's can fight back his own way.  He's shown that he can function and communicate at any level from the ditchdigger to heads of state.  He can go as low as his opposition goes and be better at it.  He has his own set of rules and the opposition doesn't have much experience with his type of skills.  He's making it his game and making everyone play it.  You stay on the high road and he stays there too.  Go the low road ... well it ain't no problem for him either.

The first six months he's been rope a doping everyone.  He's got everyone all punched out and spent.  Now the fun begins ...

or I could be totally wrong ...

:popcorn:

A random thought.  Instead of playing You Can't Always Get What You Want at the end of his appearances, he should go with Street Fighting Man.  I'm sure it would piss off the band, but oh, well.
{#Mrgreen}


 
He's figured out nothing so far because he has issues with comprehension and retains very little knowledge in that undersized brain case of his. He's by far the worst communicator (as it relates to the content of his messages)  in the position that we have ever had. We have all been waiting and hoping against hope that he might actually put aside some of his pettiness and begin to comport / conduct himself like a president. Never gonna happen apparently. Remember the "pivot"?

It's a sad day when you have to tell your kids that our president is just a big bully and to ignore him as you would not want any of his qualities to be emulated. When has there ever been a time in history where this was the case? Would you want your kids looking up to him as a role model? Not in a million twisted years.
 
Sorry but I can't let Trump's "crazy" become the new "normal" or have people just dismiss his actions under the guise of him being new to the position. Trump doesn't get to act this irresponsibly time and again and have his supporters write it off by saying "you knew what you were getting". That's not a defense for someone who needs to live every day to the highest standards of the most important position in the free world. Sorry, I'm not going to lower my expectations for the position just because a jackass now happens to occupy the office.  
 
kurtser, it is very interesting how you (and other ardent Trump supporters) have to go to unbelievable lengths and contortions to twist yourselves into pretzels to justify the actions of someone who clearly is incapable of discharging the duties of his position. How long can you defend the indefensible? You like to paint his latest transgression as a one-off, justified, inevitable response instead of looking at it as the latest addition to an ever growing resume of troubling and completely unacceptable behavior from our Commander-In-Chief.  
 
Trump is a child trying to do a man's job and (as would be expected) is failing miserably at it. No amount of excuses/misdirection/finger pointing hides that fact.
 
The sooner that he is replaced and the respect for the office of President restored... the better for us all.
