SaltyTiger 7,761 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 In 6 days we have a new President. He's acting like he's already in charge. Hillary is in the past. Obama is heading toward the exits. Sounds like good music Tex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have voted for 4-5 other gop candidates over Clinton. It is not partisan for me. It is about basic human dignity. Something that has never been so absent from a potus. It is embarrassing not to mention I don't think he has a damn clue what he is doing or how anything works. His cabinet choices tell a lot. He's everything our parents raised us not to be. This is what I have trouble fathoming . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot for the life of me understand how mocking a disabled reporter wasn't the end of Trump. My absolute disdain for him isn't due to politics. It has little to do with right vs. left and all to do with right vs. wrong. Mocking the disabled is wrong. Sexual assault is wrong. Insulting a Gold Star family is wrong. Insulting a POW is wrong. And the fact that he will not apologize for his incorrigible behavior is also wrong. I've never in my lifetime witnessed this kind of blatant disrespect from a man elected to this office. He does not have my respect and I will not call him my president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURaptor 1,121 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The damage of Hillary in the WH would have been far greater than just her as Prez.

Hillary is in the past. Obama is heading toward the exits. Time to focus on the present and future. If you don't like a critique of Trump, defend his actions. Defend his policy proclamations. Don't just bring up how other far less relevant people sucked. Don't just dismiss the source without concretely backing it up. Don't just dismiss points or critiques by claiming "butthurt". That's just an admission your own views lack substance. Have a debate with actual facts and logic. If you're a supporter of the incoming administration, clearly demonstrate why it's plans, proclamations and policies make sense. State why it's alliances and interactions with other countries makes sense for America. Explain how its actions defend our Republic. Address the points made by the poster you are responding to, not what some other person or entity away from this forum may have said or done. Face arguments head on. So, in other words, do the exact opposite of Obama's acolytes for the last 8 years ... got it....if the guy farted, you clowns tried to pass it off as Chanel #5....

"Please try to keep up". I'm well ahead of you, dingus. Where has TT ever held the MSM accountable for those things ? Or even more recent, like WHY the Clinton Global Initiative is shutting down, if Hillary and Bill aren't moving into the WH ?? TT pointed out that it was planned, before the election. But no one here asks why. The only explanation given was that there could be an appearance of impropriety. ( Gee, really ? ) Well, guess what ? She didn't win. So... why is the CGI shutting down ? Hillary is now just a private citizen, with no real hand on the direction of US policy. Was it TOO successful ? Solved all the stated problems , did it ?

It's up to the accusers to prove their charges, not the accused. Nice weaseling try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
