He is practically the definition of outrageous. Even if you favour many of his policies he is still outrageous. So was Elvis Presley in his day.

In fact, when Gowlerk says Trump is the dictionary definition of outrageous I don't think he even realised how right he was. 1 Shockingly bad or excessive. ‘an outrageous act of bribery' 1.1 Wildly exaggerated or improbable. ‘the outrageous claims made by the previous government’ 2 Very bold and unusual and rather shocking.

Hopefully one of SC's better forensic dumbologists can offer a more authoritative opinion but that has to be one of the most ridiculous analogies any right wing hypno-boy has ever posted on this site. Elvis Presely was in the be outrageous business. Our President is supposed to be in, what seems now a long, long time ago, the not be outrageous business. You know, calm and steady like the leader of a great nation not a gaudy uniform wearing buffoon like Gaddafi.

Outrageous can be a good quality in a popular entertainer. It was for Trump when he was a reality TV star. However given the power of the office he now holds outrageous is indeed synonymous with bad.

It's sounds like you've now gone from "we wanted a candidate who didn't need to make money from the office" to "I'm totally cool with my guy nakedly profiteering from the office because he spent money on his own campaign". Which is exactly what Trump supporters do. They will flip arguments constantly. The only thing that doesn't change is their steadfast support, regardless of what he does or says. The problem with stopping that support is that it would require self reflection and the ability to say they were wrong. They have gone all in and nothing will stop them or change their minds.

I don't know if the right word is surprised or appalled that more people are not jumping off of that bandwagon. If you have to excuse our president's behavior by saying he is trolling maybe you have different ideas on how a president should act. I like where the economy is right now. I do not think we should have been all in on the Paris accord. I do think we needed to do something to even out our trade with China so maybe tariffs are the way to do it. But how do you separate the policies from the man? A president should not be tweeting stupid shit for all the world to see. He shouldn't be trying to defend his actions by saying "but look what the other guy did". He should not be having verbal wars with fucking b list celebrities. Just embarrassing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right on, Brother, I also like where the economy is right now, it's just where I think it's going and why that irritates me. I was good with the Paris Accords for two reasons: I do think CO2 is an issue and I think it pays dividends in many ways to hang with friends who trust you and stand by you. China, well, they needed a good swift kick in the nuts for a lot of reasons and maybe tariffs were the right play. But China only plays the long game and considering they are on track to own the world in a few hundred years, or less, I might have tried to be sure there was a win for the USA in there somewhere. With President Dipsy Doodle I'm seeing long term losses only. But even if I liked his policies, and while he's put money in my pocket I do not, I like to think I am honest and true enough to hate him and want him gone if he turned out to be a lying, corrupt, self dealing, miserable ass who denigrated the office of the Presidency and eroded our power, standing and influence in the world. That the self styled patriots in this forum fall short of that conclusion is, to my mind, a sad commentary.

Rick 67 #65 December 3, 2019 Hanging with friends is fine but to pay the lion's share seem's like buying friends. But that is getting away from the topic. Why does president Trump still have so much support? It seems his base agree with his bullying and throwing anyone under the bus when it looks bad for him. Maybe they would do the same in his shoes. Where is the honor in the office? I just hope we learned our lesson and can get past it next election but if the democrats don't come up with a good option, or a 3rd party candidate steps up I don't see how it will change. Everyone in the GOP are afraid to admit he is an embarassment . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 615 #69 December 3, 2019 George Washington warned in his farewell address about two evils that could ruin the new Republic. Partisan political parties and foreign entanglements. Both of those evils are now involved in the current administration. Trump has backed away from defending UN members should they need help. He has violated the trust America had with every allied nation. Hold on folks, the downhill ride is usually rapid. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I follow them because I love reading the ramblings of crazy people tying themselves into knots over fantasies that never quite seem to pan out. I'm going to drop some truth on you. There are no adronochrome farms, Ron. No cabal of Democrats eating children. Hillary isn't in Gitmo, there aren't clones or actors running around in her and Obama's and Ruth Bader Ginsberg's place. Trump's clumsy method of sipping a glass of water one time wasn't a secret message to the masses. JFK, Jr. isn't secretly alive and waiting to be revealed. There's no secret military intelligence operation - if there was, why would they be dropping information about their activities on a public forum for all (including their supposed enemies) to see? It's literally the opposite of Operational Security to do so. And why would they have started their messages on a website not owned and operated by the military, but one that was notorious for dark web drug sales and child porn (4chan, then 8chan, now 8kun). The Q drops are basically a small group of people making revenue from a website that generates traffic from the gullible. The more you follow it, the more you realize the stories they are pushing are utterly, entirely, and completely unhinged. Most (sane) Trump supporters don't support Trump because of the Q fantasy, Ron. There are other reasons, but Q isn't it.

No Ken, there are 19 words that have a Q not followed by a U. Assuming U is not Q the answer may be in the number 19, a prime number with significant biblical meaning. Napthali had 19 cities, In Samual 19 men were killed and Nebuchadnezzar burned down Jerusalem in the 19th year of his reign.
