Also, Trump supporters were upset that people were celebrating when Rush got cancer but will still defend Trump when he does this

He can't even admit he's being sarcastic and comes off pretty weak for that.


I’m occasionally and hopefully not too disrespectfully trying to engage Trumpsters
on FB by trying to get them to substantively address his behavior and conduct
as opposed to simply deflecting in a whole host of different ways reminiscent
of a certain former contributor to this thread. I’m not sure why I bother
since as soon as I do that they typically go silent.

I had a great proud poppa moment last week when my daughter, a masters
candidate Georgetown, utterly eviscerated a trumpster friend of mine, former college roomie,
a gun toting bible thumping paranoic now living in ND. It was a completely unfair fight.

I’m looking forward to more ads like this flooding tv and Facebook in the lead up to November.

Trim this one down a little:

It’s rare that tens of thousands will die as a result of political incompetence. This will come to pass if we don’t start simply ignoring and defying Trump.

He probably imagines it doesn't afflict his supporters. Stalin had his Ukraine strategy, Trump has his.

Very sad to hear story about the AZ couple who took medical
advice from the stable genius. The wife is now a widow.
But the Donald thought it was worth a try to use an anti malarial
drug. I’m mean he said he’s right a lot of times.

Not quite sure where I stand on that one.

No argument from me on Trump proving himself, once again, to be incompetent and completely irresponsible, but what this couple did is up there with gargling bleach and believing in the efficacy of colloidal silver as a treatment option.

Knowing that that's how stupid and gullible your followers are, you need to be extra careful in what you say. 100% Trump's fault.

Yeah, I can't tell either. I'm just guessing based on my most recent post.

Probably because dumb is too kind a word. You're trolling if you put him at that high a level. The thing in the WH actually said he expects business as usual on Easter - what a bleeping bleepity bleeb bleep - with his science experts there. He's single-handedly setting back science. He says "I've been proven to be right." His ample gut is the alt science. America's fight is Anthony Fauci vs the thing in the WH. Fauci needs to win.

How is it possible to trust what Trump is saying when he isn't remotely consistent? He literally changes his position on an hourly basis.

It really is incredible how the GOP consolidated its base around Wall Street sociopaths + racist dumb people who can't read or process information.

Republicans are aliens. Well... 90% are. I kid but I'm not. At this point, there should be some neurological tests done on them.

Yes, Don the Con's lies are putting people lives at risk, especially those of his many gullible followers. I learned long ago to be leery of people who use words like "beautiful," "incredible" and "perfect" to describe just about anything.

It is hard to pin Trump down since he is a serial liar with dementia and can't remember which are lies and which parts he just doesn't understand.
