A Few Thoughts

[Kathianne]

I'll take that as a no, you don't see amnesty. And we should get a fence, I don't disagree.



I've been asking questions for seven years. Do you only have a problem with it now? People make these broad-based proclamations and then are unable/unwilling to follow up on their beliefs. If Trump really does have these conservative values he's voicing for the unvoiced then I imagine that it would be nice if his supporters could actually put them into words.

And if that's all you see then you're not really looking. Besides, Kathianne is the world's best topic poster so in the great capitalist tradition of division of labor I submit to her expertise. I await you standing up for bullypulpit in my heinous question posting of his broad-based proclamations.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm not getting in between you lovebirds!

I have been telling you this all along. The more radical right-wing faction holds this absurd notion that somehow Trump is going to win over mainstream American voters. Which is not possible. At the most, Trump appeals to 20 percent of voters.
Anyone who champions Trump into the 2016 election cycle needs to realize that his candidacy, whether on a GOP or independent ballot, pretty much guarantees that the Dem candidate will win. If it is Hillary Clinton, then you get eight years of Clinton.
If Trump runs as the GOP candidate, not only will he loses, but he will take down quite a few conservative House and Senate members with him.

Want to see Hillary Clinton in the White House with Dem House and Senate? Keep supporting Trump.

I don't think Trump will be in the General Election, other than perhaps 3rd party. It won't matter for the conservatives.

Thread-starting isn't all-important, and certainly varies in usefulness, but it does show a certain amount of willingness to put oneself on the line, "out there", to stand for things, so to speak.

I wasn't going to get all technical, but, since you said I'm not really looking, I decided to look...

I looked. It appears I have started over 170 threads, but most of them go nowhere.

I am 85th at 1,478 posts, all of them super intelligent and meaningful! lol

Hey, you haven't been here that long, Peri (2013). And I know how you feel about them going nowhere, lol. Same for me.

I haven't figured out what really interests the crown around here. It's just a bit of this and that.

At this point in time, candidate discussion is a winner.

Black Diamond came across this:

Seems to fit in with my thoughts.

I have been starting threads for over a decade and most of them go nowhere.

What do a couple of 14 year old girls think of Donald Trump? My husband decided to ask my daughter and one of her friends. Who obviously don't give a flip about politics. Especially with the Taylor Swift concert coming up next weekend.

"Eww, he is really gross. Not cute at all!"
"Does he ever comb his hair? I guess rich people don't have to comb their hair."

*explains Trump's statements on women and Mexicans*

"Wow, what a butthole! But I guess no one can yell at him because he would fire them."
"He needs a ghost pepper taco. That would make him run for the border!"
"I wonder if he goes on those Sugar Daddy sites where rich people pay the girls with big boobs to run around with them"
"Trump doesn't need that. He owns all those bimbo beauty pageants."
"He should buy that Hair Care For Men company. He def needs new hair."



"Albatross! Albatross!"
"No it doesn't come with bloody wafers!"

[fj1200]

I thought I'd covered that ? Tell me, does Mexico trade with the US ? And do they need that trade, more than you do ? Do you see NO latitude for remedial adjustment ?

You're going to pass a law that demands Mexico build a wall for us? Good luck with that.

Not at all.

You don't know rational discussion when I slap you with it.

Not a thing.

From my perspective you're screwed in the head and you let your delusions run your life.

So seven years of posting and over 15,000 posts is not putting it out there? Of all the things to bring up as a metric that is by far the biggest stretch I can think of. And my reference to you not looking is what I stand for because I've said it plenty. But I will give you this much; at least you don't imagine things.

EDIT:

Quick question; does my not creating threads somehow cause you to not be able to ask questions? Curious minds would like to know.

Considering that I'm not even American, it seems to me that I'd need all the luck I could get ....

But you're just not getting it (by design ?). Trade with the US is something Mexico needs. Now, does the US need that trade, anything like as badly ? They could have it curbed, IF there was a will to arrange it.

It's not as though sanction-applications are an unknown weapon to US politicians. Is it ?

You don't know rational discussion when I slap you with it.

Let me know when you start, then I'll be in a position to comment .......

Something that Trump's detractors failed to comment on was the fact that Trump's hair was neater during the Presidential Candidate debate.

As, indeed, you're still doing .... oh, for shame, Gabby ...

Trade with Mexico is something the US needs as well. I don't advocate starting a trade war over the ridiculous demand to get another country to pay for a US fence. That's something that lefties like you do. I'll add that to your big government way of thinking.

Slapping you around? You've been in denial for quite some time.

You getting a clue is up to you.

But, AS BADLY ?

The clue was in my wording, FJ.

Your use of the word 'lefties' suggests you were talking to yourself. I'd watch that, if I were you.

And in fact, I'm unaware that you have any strong solution of your own as to how that fence is arranged. You are invited to prove me wrong on that (.. probably a challenge you'll duck, to add to the tally, but DO show me otherwise ..).

Slapping you around? You've been in denial for quite some time.

I've never been in de Nile. Nor yet the Euphrates. If it helps .. I've been in de bath very recently ...

You getting a clue is up to you.

What microscope magnification setting do you suggest I'll need to use for the exercise ?
