FWIW, I don't think anyone walks around looking for folks to "hate" them.

That the left and most of the mainstream media hates Trump? Been there and done that point many times here. Your attention span is not my concern though. For someone who doesn't admire The Donald, you sure put forth a great deal of effort in his defense.

First and foremost was that he took down the Bushes. He had the guts to stand up on the stage and say what no other Republican candidate would dare to say. That the Iraq War was bullshit and that George W. Bush did not keep America safe. I also like the fact that he rejected the title of "Leader of the Free World" and instead said he's the leader of the United States. I like the fact that he wants to rebuild our infrastructure instead of pissing away trillions of dollars on foreign interventionism. I like he act that he isn't afraid to speak his mind instead of following a carefully prepared script of thoroughly vetted talking points. I like the fact that he was the only Republican candidate who said he wouldn't cut Social Security.

Judging him on his speech to congress and recent military actions I think he wants to invade / start a war in Yemen. but of course the generals decide not the orange one. does our military really need more resources? I think they need to properly manage what they are currently receiving. he can spend the big bucks on single payer, as if that will happen!

No one wants to discuss substance here.

All they want to do is hate on Trump 24/7.

What a cheap setup.

The truth is you can't help ALWAYS throwing abuse at everyone. Even in the message where you supposedly were laying out your "substance" for discussion, you throw in that bit about us being 'fascist shithead haters.' But now you accuse us of being bad people who won't talk substance with you.

The thing is, no one much wants yet another ration of shit, which is the invariable reward for bothering to try to 'discuss substance' with you. Sorry, you don't meat the basic social requirements for civil and substantive discussion.

It ain't us, it's you.

When it comes to shameless promotion of a fallen soldier for Political purposes Trump can't come close to what the Democrats did.

You got it bass ackwards.

I have become what I am in response to the abuse I have taken here.

And you are one of the worst abusers.

You practically ran noonereal off single handedly.

But you are blind.

As is about 80% of the members of this forum.

You have all gone batshit crazy with Trump hate.

This should be your avatar.

Pure name calling. You still did a cheap set-up in this thread.

Noonereal was incredably irrationally insulting toward me, I just calmly stood up to him. For some reason he apparently couldn't handle that. Not my fault.

Edit--an insult pic proves WE are 'batshit crazy?'

Don't see the world through your alternate reality viewfinder.

I wonder how you are going to spin it when he follows through on his campaign promise not to touch it?

What am I saying?

I know what you are going to do.

Dismiss it with a snarky one liner, just like all of you Trump haters do.
