My biggest complaint and why I hate Trump the most is how he divides us.
I was not a fan of Bush, but I didn't hate him (okay, I did hate Cheney).
I felt Bush wasn't bright, but was well-intentioned (wrong, but well-intentioned) I think he actually believed the 'trickle down' malarky. I think he MEANT well for America.
He, like every other president until now, tried to unite us, and right after 9/11 and before we went astray into the Iraq fiasco, he DID unite us. He told us not to hate all Muslims for the act of a fringe. When he stood on the rubble with the bullhorn. I was behind him, as was most of America.
The cowardly liar in the WH now is not 'our' president - he is the president of a minority that he constantly 'plays' to - he regularly bad-mouths NY and Ca because they didn't vote for him. He didn't even let the 'gang of 8' know about this hit - just a few GOP cultists.
Anybody else remember the period right after 9/11??? People thanked police and firemen and as horrible as 9/11 was, we were all united. I miss that, and I don't think a tragedy is needed to bring it back, just a decent leader - one that doesn't fan hate and isn't a TWIT on Twitter. Someone who cares about America, not just HIMSELF and money.

And yes, it is filth and hate being spewed the way you are talking about a former president with your BS GOP talking points

and Iran is a nuclear force, even if they don't have a fully operational warhead, they have plenty of enriched uranium to make large areas uninhabitable for 100's of years with dirty bombs. Don t think that they wont attack Israel and if that happens, Israel will not hesitate to apply the rathe of G_D down on them.

There is good reason no former president killed the ****************head, they had the intelligence to understand the consequences
+1 Jay.

But for clarification, I think Starter is actually a good dude, as most everyone here is. He's writing this stuff just to get under my skin. It's a game we've been playing, we send each other jabs back and forth mostly in jest, but a dash of seriousness. So take it with grain of salt.

Well said.

As bad or unintelligent as anyone may have thought Bush was, compared to the one in the WH now, he was a saint and genius. You may not have agreed with his politics, but he did put country first before personal and politics. Bush at his core is an honest, honorable and compassionate man. Words that cannot even in a stretch describe Trump.

History will show that both Bush's, Clinton, and Obama were good presidents that always worked for the benefit of the American people and the world in general. None of that will be how Trump will be remembered.

I, and those like me, will remember him as the first (and probably only) politician/president that actually tried to fulfill his campaign promises, only to be fought at every turn by libbie cucks.
That’s how I’ll remember him. Jay.

Trump 2020, b itches.
Yeah, I'm watching Mexico write checks for the wall.

And I'm loving the Rumpcare he said was so easy.

And what an amazing job he's done of erasing the deficit!

Oh, and thank G_D he never leaves the white house to play golf, like Obama always did!


Keeps his promises my A S S!

You can blame the liberals all you want, but the reality is that for 2 full years Refuglicans controlled the WH, Sentate and House. All he's done is whine like a little B itch!

Rump for PRISON 2020, b itch!

This is the "Off Topic Discussions" forum. We can discuss whatever we like.

How's that!?

no argument from me on that.

I usually try to stay out of these types of discussion (like the gun one)

This latest action by POTUS just has a VERY personal impact on my family and their safety. My son joined the Army with open eyes and knew what he signed up for and his plan is to put in 20+ and then stay in service in one of the 3/4 letter agencies. There are not words to describe how proud I am of him.
None of children should have their lives put on the line unnecessarily.

Thanks, Pipe! And, cheers! Yes... ~70% to get under your skin... however... I do believe that America for too long has been taking it in the rear upon the foundation of trying to achieve world peace. It. Isn't Going. To. Happen. While I believe Trump can be a dunce... I also believe he believes that someone (He) has to stand up to the terrorists and ****************-alls of the world who for decades have been ****************ting on America. Again, while I'm not a huge fan of Trump... he's taking the lumps that his predecessors were to weak to receive. People can call those fellas smart, and keeping peace in mind... but look where that has gotten us: A shadow of what once was America. We're a nation of pussies (soy boys... man buns... pansexual... whatthe****************ever else).

One poster likes the kumbaya unity that we enjoyed after 9/11. Me? I was pissed that the hand-holding kumbaya position came at a cost of 3K+ lives. What did we get out of it? A shrine that shines a beacon of "hope" into the sky. Big deal. And... all while the terrorists were snickering at us behind our backs and, frankly, right in front of our face.

Maybe the kumbaya types can ask what was that terrorist doing at the airport. However, that would require wearing a thinking cap and, I''m afraid, they left those hats in the coat check.

The hard-left liberal approach? Yeah. Not working for me.

Pipe... yup, that's my position. However, when you're in my neck of the woods.. or any of you fellas... the hot chocolate is on me. I'll be drinking coffee. Black.

Who's going to NAMM this month?

I hear you. My prayers go out to your son, his friends, and all who are serving during this precarious time.

Like I've said before, we can disagree without being disagreeable.

Here's the reality: Iran hadn't done anything since we had the nuclear agreement. Until Rump was so hell-bent to undo everything Obama did and walked away and imposed hard sanctions. Then Iran started to retaliate.

If Rump was such a bada ss, why is he always kneeling down before Putin, Kim, and Erdogan?

If someone wants to wear a manbun, what's it to you? I bet you wore tie-dies and bell bottoms! LOL I'm sure they'll look a pics of themsevles years from now and laugh at themselves.

So you like divisiveness over unity, or as you call it, kumbaya?

From the front page right under "Off Topic Discussions":

This is an off topic forum. Jokes, current events, sports etc... Post it here!

If this subject doesn't qualify as current events, I don't know what does.

Just because you can't handle opinions and facts that don't fall in line with your beliefs doesn't mean you can go around telling people to go elsewhere. If you don't like it, you can read other threads.

Many forums I've participated in over the years has a function where you can click "don't show posts from [username]". Why doesn't this forum have that function?

I get sucked-in because I'm passionate about stuff.... but the truth is, a political discussion (I use that term loosely), while "allowed" isn't at all why I come to this forum.

Having said that, I don't want to "unfriend" (block) someone just 'cuz I disagree with them (though I would prefer a civil dialogue, instead of the jack-assery we've seen rcently).

I dunno PW....

wait.... I've got an idea.....

Standby........ I'ma try something......
