Lol...did you see how rabid Obama defenders behaved for 8 years? He was their walk-on-water Messiah, from the voter to the Press. How many conservatives or even centrists who criticized Obama were chased off this site. No one dare call King Obama out, or they were called coons, racists, you name it. The Obama defenders here run deep, tight and bullyful.
As I have proven to you time and time again, I have criticized as well as praised President Obama, and I am still here Bliss, so your statement is just not true. In my experience most people here will in fact engage in constructive debate if one provides reasonable and fact based evidence for their criticism or their praise, hell Flaming cannot stand President Obama (along with all politicians) and has repeatedly harshly criticized his policies and decisions, yet he is still here as well, nobody has chased him or I off or called us coons, ect. And yet Flaming and I have been able to have constructive, substantive, and illuminating debates on politics and President Obama's performance even though we often disagree.
It’s true but it should be possible to engage in a civilised debate on such topics provided people don’t get personal/ take things personally, aren’t totalitarian about issues and don’t engage in the debate with the sole purpose of „winning“ (I.e. beating the other person over the head). If it becomes a personal war I’m out. There’s nothing to gain from it.
Oh stop, Loki. who do you think you're fooling here? You have not critized Obama, you have carried his water on here for 8 years, repeatedly going after any member who called him out. Only one time you offered evidence to the contrary, however the rest has been exhalting his Presidency. Contrarily, with President Trump, not one credit has been given to him by you. You are not impartial, you have gone after him from before day one, not unlike those who did the same towards Obama. At least with me, as l have told you time and again, l gave Obama a political chance for two years ...loved much of what he did. amd said...until the Govt shutdown happened, then the racial pitting of Americans against each other, his increasing personal, political and policy preference for illegals over Americans, his weaponizing the IRS against his opponents, and upon discovering his spting and covert hacking of emails targeting journalists who criticized him. That's when l turned off him. I don't do corrupt leaders. "..constructive, substantive, and illuminating debates.." Another Laughable comment. Please spare me your romanticized pipe 'n slipper version of "debates" with Flaming. He doesn't debate on here, he shoots from the hip and tells you what he thinks in the crudest of terms, and that's all folks.
What are you talking about? You are in a thread on President Trump which from post 1 has consisted of tearing him down in the crudest of terms. There has been absolutely no room given for civilized debate for anyone who wants to point out good things he's doing for America - if you do, you're called a "racist and "German neo Nazi', and if black, a "lost coon traitor". What you will find here is the constant insulting of our President, in particular, the color of his skin, the accusations of fucking his daughter, attacking his penis size, his mental state, his family, his wife has been called an escort, a gold digger every crude name you can think of, yet you dare plead civility from anyone other than Trump-haters? FOH!
How do you understand from my above statement that I am encouraging people to attack Trump‘s Penis size and the likes?
Yeah. I defended Obama plenty and I still do. The difference is... Look at the BS that was always being spewed about Obama (with plenty from the current POTUS). Everything from the birther stuff, to secretly being Muslim/hating America and so on. The man couldn't even attend a basketball game or take his wife on date night (away from the WH) without some BS criticism. How about when he allegedly hated America because he didn't have a flag on his lapel? Supposedly he accomplished nothing of significance in 8 years. I didn't even get to the congress who flat out refused to work with him, and stated their intention (including the deliberate obstruction). All that and Obama still managed to always be respectful to others. Conversely... Your boy has to go after any and everyone who dares to disagree and/or refuse to kiss his ass and his followers. Does so in the most immature, racist, sexist, hate-filled (and so on) ways possible, and he still gets defended by some of you. It's funny you say bully, and you're defending the biggest bully to ever.
First, it's not just "two low level agents", AB. An FBI informant has agreed to testify there were more agents involved. Futhermore, she was on Mueller's team.investigating "Russian collusion", and he was on the team investigating Hillary's server-gate. He was a die-hard Hillary suporter. So drop the "they have no power" facade. You're still deflecting to the "Russia!" "Treason!" "impeachment!' war cry, huh. How long have you been spouting it here in every single Trump post - over a year now? Every time you cry, "This is it, Trump is finished!, it turns out to be a nothingburger, a DNC made-up media lie to keep you tied to the Party and glued 24/7 to the party's news-stations. Sorry AB, the "Russia collusion" is BS, a fake diversionary tactic implemented by Hillary and Obama's FBI operatives to usurp a legitimate win by Trump. I told you l'd give you a bottle of wine if l was wrong for every time you said Trump is finished, however it's getting pretty dusty at this point, lol.
What you wrote about Obama, it's ridiculous right? Obama can't go to a BB game, Trump can't have two pieces of cake. No flag on Obama's lapel? Trump didn't have his hand on his heart during the National Anthem, but the truth showed he did and the Left doctored the video. Everything the stupid right loons did to Obama over bullshit things is what the stupid left loons are doing to Trump, but you applaud it. How about when Trump's doctor revealed he takes hair tablets - all you heard was "Trump is limp-dicked" @ the side-effects. And you expect Trump to be respectful to the Leftist assholes? To be nice to reporters who harrass the President 24/7, 365 about every dang little thing? No way did Obama get that level of unending disgraceful exposure . He was lauded by the Press, often coddled to no end, he even banned reporters from the WH who criticized his policies, yet no one said shit. You would crumble in a heap if you had to endure the barrage of hourly feces the Left throw at Trump. "When they go low, WE go high"..isn't that what Michelle said? No, in fact, you go lower. Your party has finally been exposed and l'm thoroughly disgusted. Years ago, l was an idealistic dem, but now feel sick that l fell for their complete hypocritical bullshit. The Left is worse than the Right because the Left hid their insidious nature. The worst bullies are indeed the Democrats.
Bliss you are truly the queen of revisionist history, its amazing. Do a search on my posts and see how many times I posted the "Obama Promises Broken" link from politifact when criticizing President Obama, here is a hint, its a lot more than 1 instance like you claim above. When I have praised him, it is ALWAYS backed up by factual links, logic, and sound reason, which many, not all, of your Trump claims lack. Another outright lie by you above is that I have never given credit to Trump, here you have a short memory again (see im showing you facts yet again) http://whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/threads/random-political-comments.23396/page-138#post-1050920, and look at that Bliss, YOU even liked that post of mine. Time after time after time, post after post after post I show your hyperbole to be folly Bliss. We have gone round and round on President Obama and illegals, you dont even believe Trump when he said President Obama was tough on illegals, so its clear you wont see reason there. President Obama NEVER weaponized the IRS, that is a right wing conspiracy with NO basis in fact (http://www.newsweek.com/remember-irs-scandal-it-was-fake-news-all-along-681674) and please cite one credible instance of President Obama hacking/targeting journalist.
See Bliss, what disturbs me about your take is that I KNOW you're by nature a conspiracy theorist, and yet you don't think there's anything slightly odd that so many people on Trump's campaign team had direct contacts with Russian agents who had direct contact with the Kremlin. Did you know the Russian lawyer who met with Jared and Don Jr. promising dirt on Hillary Clinton attended Trump's inaugural??? Per Newsweek; A Russian lawyer whose June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner has become a focal point of a probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, was reportedly among at least a half-dozen Russian elites with political ties that attended Inauguration Day events. The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton in the now infamous meeting that also included Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, attended a black-tie inaugural party held by the campaign committee of Republican Representative Dana Rohrabacher of California, an associate who accompanied her told The Washington Post in a report published Saturday. Stop pretending all these contacts are purely coincidental. As Malcolm Nance is fond of saying, " Coincidence takes lots of planning." The GOP sure isn't acting like there's nothing there on Trump and the Russia conspiracy. Take my words, Trump will not finish his 4 year term. These types of investigations take time and aren't over in a week. It took Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald TWO YEARS to investigate the Valerie Plame/Scooter Libby/CIA leak. Ken Starr took THREE YEARS to conclude his Whiterwater investigation. Congress investigated Benghazi for almost a YEAR AND A HALF. All three ended on evidence they could prove, or not. The Mueller investigation has only been 9 months and by most estimates it will conclude sometime this spring. So tell me why conservatives and right wingers are crying about how long the Mueller's investigation is taking?? Because they know there's dirt there.
Bliss you act as if all of the above listed insults are completely without factual basis, or resulting directly from Trump's own actions or words. Trump has praised the alt right/neo nazi's as "very fine people", has creepily "joked" multiple times about dating his daughter if she were not his daughter, has repeatedly publicly attacked the looks of others while being thin skinned about people attacking his looks with innuendos. His wife posed haf-naked in pseudo lesbian soft core porn pictures and has remained silent about Trumps alleged affairs. As I have already proven, positive things can be posted about Trump without being savaged around here if its based in facts and sound logic. Perhaps your track record of conspiracy theories, hyperbole, and flat out being stubborn in the face of overwhelming evidence is the reason why you get so much pushback.
BS!!! First... If Trump simply came along and won the presidency with negative stuff about him... I'd totally agree with you. The difference between him and Obama (or anyone else) is that Trump in nearly all cases resorted to the mudslinging and so on. Someone challenges him... That person gets a nickname from him. Heck... Even Banner managed to pickup one from the name-caller. I say this to say... Sure, Trump gets plenty of negative comments coming his way, and he's quick to complain about being treated badly. The difference is that he totally created the negative sentiment toward him. I don't say anything about Trump's personal time except that he rarely missed an opportunity to criticize Obama... He also stated how he wouldn't have time to golf, but he sure as heck managed to find plenty of time. So Trump comes along in his entitled way, insults anyone he doesn't agree with, but somehow that's OK. Then when people fire back at him... It's wrong. Imagine that. If I had a child go around the neighborhood doing that he/she wouldn't have to worry about being set straight by his peers as I'd be all up in his stuff. Yes, that was Michelle Obama's saying. Now, when have you heard her go on tirades against Trump? He's simply getting some of what he's dished out long before day one, and of course the tough guy can't take it.
He didn't quote neo-nazis as "fine people", totally sick of the lie.. He was referring to those who are Conservative or lean Right, but who abhor the lunatic alt right's and NN behavior, and those on the Left/Progressives who also abhor the Lunatic left. The Leftist media spin on it is despicable. There are Constitutionalists, there are pro-2nd Amendment citizens whom are by deafault considered Right leaning, whom are upstanding citizens who have been viciously labeled as racist by the Left who are playing real dirty because they want a communist socialist utopia by their rules. Not happening.
Ok Bliss, lets analyze his comments below with no spin on either side ok? After his initial comments about very fine people on both sides, he clarified below that he was not talking about the WS or neo nazi's, fine, he *was* talking about the people who were there protesting the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue. He tries to equate Lee with Washington and Jefferson, because they too owned slaves, the BIG difference being that both Washington and Jefferson freed their slaves and argued to end slavery in their states, while Lee fought to preserve it. So imagine if you will Bliss that you were Black for just a moment, and you heard the President refer to people who are protecting the statue of someone who fought to keep you in brutal, hellish, sub human anguish for your entire life, as "very fine people", perhaps if you can take a moment to imagine how you would feel in that moment you could understand the RAGE that we feel in hearing such comments from the leader of the country.
My solution is I’ve been staying away from CNN international which is reducing the daily Trump drama by about 80%. I’ll be tuning back in when Mueller is done with his job. I can’t get into the nitty gritty of the Trump administration on a daily basis.
