Sure wish Obama could be your candidate again. What a classy guy he is! What a great president he was! Any of the Democrat candidates would be a HUGE improvement over the scumbag president we now have.
Kenbob - totally agree. Even the Bush Boys had more class and presidential characteristics that The Orange Orangutan Draft Dodger. IQ45 closer to truth than POTUS 45.
Well, let’s see. I could guess who you are thinking about. Since Obama does like a game of golf now and then, maybe this was Jimmy Carter. Or if it is your candidate now, perhaps Joe Biden. Could be many people but we sure know who we have now. What a list! Unbelievable that we live I a country who actually voted him in......or did they???
Kazy - right on. My Candidate was more about Trump than his opponents; however, it was a mixture of several folks, with Pete being among them.
I left you suckers with two choices, an anti-Christian Communist, and a senile old fool. Take your pick. Mwahahahaha...
I will never cease to be amazed at what a wondrous God we serve, especially the leaders he chooses, like Donald Trump, to foil Satan’s efforts to drive this nation over the cliff into the liberal abyss.
BB - maybe God chose Trump to show the country what a true abyss looks like, and will send the message that he will have us choose a Democrat, just like God chose Obama.
Hoosier, I think it was the other way around. Obama was chosen to reveal the danger of the deep state, and just how dangerous and full of hate the liberal enemy is. The enemy will not accept the results of Trump's election and is pulling out all the stops to destroy Trump and his presidency. I think it was a much needed wake-up call to those who believe in the rule of law and the God of the Bible of just how vile and wicked and insane the left truly is.
Lou - I will admit that Uncle Joe has a few non-functioning neurons, but don't see your point about Sanders being an anti-Christian Communist. You of all people should know the difference between a democratic socialist and a Communist.
Agree, Douglas E, that there is a difference between the definition of democrat socialist and Communist. My point is that Sanders cannot come right out and label himself a Communist, so uses the less offensive 'democrat socialist.' However, he is an idiot and proved himself as such when he came out singing the praises of Castro and Castro's Cuba, in Florida of all places, with its jillion Castro-hating Cubans. That blunder cost him the Dem nomination. Was sorry to see that.
DES, you would make a great New York Times reporter!
Mr. Poo - the NYTimes has gone of the deep end IMHO. Once upon a time they used to be a legitimate source of news as well as some reasonable commentary. They now seem to be run by a bunch of "culture of offense" idiots who demonize anyone and everyone who is not in lockstep with their way of thinking. I don't even bother reading the Times these days - they are more blindered than an Amishman's horse.
Douglas E, Was thinking more in terms of your anti-Trump passion rather than the writing of misleading news.
Yes, Douglas E, the New York Times has gone totally over the cliff when it comes to advancing the leftist agenda at any cost. Truth and common sense be damned, the end justifies the means.
Bizzy Brain - you pretty much solidify the point that it is worthless to discuss/debate theological perspectives. You see a scum bag like Trump as God's chosen whereas he seems more like the work of the devil to me. You despise Obama but he is a man of high virtue compared to Trump. And policies - just look what administration has us looking into the abyss, environmentally, fiscally, health-care-wise, and on and on. Keep drinking the Kool Aid.
Better have that TDS checked out, hoosier. It's destroying your logic and common sense centers. Lol! You are right about the futility of discussing political ideology. Socialism/communism has been demonstrated to be a total failure, yet jillions blind themselves to that fact and still clamor for it. That ideology is totally opposite of what the Bible teaches about the origin, nature, purpose, and destiny of man. Good news for you is that your side will eventually win. How do I know? The Bible tells me so. Matthew 7:14 "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." And Matthew 22:14 "For many are called, but few are chosen." There is Bible truth, and then there is everything else. Liberalism is 100% part of that everything else.
Busy Brain - the only deranged I see are Trump and his bootlickers. From another blog:
Bandy Lee, a Yale psychiatrist, has written extensively on the mentally ill Trump. In a recent interview she has explained how dangerous he really is. Here are a few key quotes, although the whole interview should be read.
—————
“Trump is not in touch with reality. He cannot control the coronavirus with his mind and by living in a fantasy world, as he has done for most of the crisis.”
“Now we in America and around the world are living through the horrible results of Trump’s behavior. His mental health issues are translating directly into deaths and widespread calamity.”
“Trump actually wishes to hold on to the opposite of reality because he cannot tolerate reality as it exists. In truth, Trump is incompetent and not even able to engage in rational thinking. As such, the most threatening thing to a person whose mind works in such a way is science and facts. Scientific evidence and empirical reality are immutable. They do not change to fit Trump’s desires and whims. This is very threatening to Donald Trump.”
“As others have pointed out, Donald Trump leads a cult. The Republicans and his other followers are Trump’s cult members.”
“Trump’s delusions have been induced across an entire population of his supporters and other followers. Now an entire segment of the American people is delusional and detached from reality through Trump.”
“Donald Trump has a pathological, authoritarian relationship with his followers. In that relationship they have lost their personhood, autonomy and even their ability to think for themselves. Trump’s followers are becoming more dependent, more conformist and more servile to him the longer he stays in power.”

—————
The Founders tried to prevent an unstable person such as Trump from gaining power. Their efforts succeeded until now. As has happened many times in the past, a demagogue can destroy a nation as the masses turn to a savior. Here, he co-opted an entire political party. The virus may cause the coup de grace of the American experiment.
I just saw this from a fellow named Vaal - and since BB and some of my other relatives think that I have Trump Derangement Syndrome, well....
"There is a bit of truth to the “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (though not the cynical form it’s used by Trumpites).
For people with a conscience and who seek facts and consistency, Trump seems to incite an almost ancestral/reptilian repulsion response, like snakes for many people, or waking up to find a spider crawling up your arm.
When he speaks I can’t follow what he says. It makes my mind flail in his lack of coherent speech pattern, and insofar as what he says constantly rebounds away from any facts as I know them. So it really is the closest thing to someone speaking babble, or white noise I’ve come across.
I can’t find any facts or information in there SAVE for trying to pay attention to the possible effects of what he’s just said, or what he says he might do.
But it’s just not like listening to any other normal person I know of."
So what did Ms. Bandy Lee have to say about Biden? Nothing, zip, nada, because she's a Trump hating leftist spouting psychobabble to advance her agenda.
Vaal sounds like he's crazy.
I might add that Bandy Lee is full of shit beyond belief also. I have lost my "personhood, autonomy, and ability to think for myself" because I voted for Trump instead of that lying bitch maniac Hillary? Lol! Give me a break. Bandy has more TDS than anyone.
Bizzy - gotta pick lying bitch ya gonna vote for!! Besides abortion and gay marriage, why do you love Trump?? [of course he doesn't give a shit about either, but is just trolling for votes}
Douglas E, your question of why love Trump is a waste of time to answer. I could provide a laundry list of reasons, each of which would be picked apart and discredited. For example, border control. I believe it's important to keep out illegals and be selective in who we let in. If we let in everyone in the world who wants to come here, this country would be turned into a third world craphole. But then some leftist like Jim Wallis would claim I'm xenophobic and bigoted and hypocritical because the Bible says not to turn away the stranger and not letting everybody in is turning away the stranger, etc., etc., ad infinitum. Also, you can say Trump doesn't really believe what he says he believes. How can anyone defend against that? I could say you are not really a Trump hater, you just take that position to tweak your readers and generate comments. In fact, I think I've hit on it! You are a Trump lover, but pretend you're not. Lol!
Bizzy - your main problem is that you believe all of Trump's bullshit lies and straw men that he constructs. There is not an politician out there that have open borders as a main position. Most everybody in this country wants secure and regulated borders - but the Republicans had the White House, the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court for two years and did absolutely nothing about sensible border control. How's that wall that the Mexicans are paying for going? Here's an analysis by Jim Danielson - I could not have said it any better: has to be in two parts because of length.
A President doesn’t deserve respect just because they are President.
Nor is it “just his way of talking” if he incites violence, repeats conspiracies, incites people to self harm, lies almost constantly, ridicules others and denigrates media, many of which give him far more leeway than he deserves in the name of ‘balance’.
Trump is dangerous.
He has almost all the worst defects a leader can have. He thinks he’s smarter than everyone else. He thinks all deals are zero sum games. He is a narcissist, he surrounds himself with toadies and yes men, he refuses to learn (or is incapable), he’s lazy, he lies constantly, he appears to be only concerned with himself, he makes snap judgments based on god knows what. He is a con man, he has stolen from his ‘charity’. He has directly incited violence among his followers. When he’s wrong he refuses to take responsibility. In fact he refuses to take responsibility for anything. He either believes conspiracies or repeats them for his benefit. He is persuaded by the last people/person he listens to, rather than by evidence. He is so self involved and narcissistic he is easily manipulated. Trump is obnoxious when he is given evidence of his lying, misinformation, of his being wrong.
Trump appears to be only representing, or caring, about his own voters to the detriment of a large section, perhaps the majority of the citizens.
Trump is financially benefiting his businesses.
Like Bush Junior, he has filled agencies with political cronies and ideologues who don’t know what they are doing. That is what happened during the Iraq War (and reconstruction) which turned out to be such a mess. That is what is happening to America as policy is made by whim rather than by evidence based science.
Trump said he was trying to protect the ACA’s “previous condition” clause, many times, yet in reality his administration is in court trying to quash it.
If I pointed out all his lies I would literally be typing all day and all night.
As for refusing to work with Trump, Democrats have attempted to work with him, as the 2 trillion dollar stimulus package shows, they do work with him. On the other hand Trump (and Republicans) have repeatedly stonewalled Democrats legislation. Democrats have worked with Trump only to have Trump give them the middle finger when his information source, often Fox News talking heads, says it’s a bad deal.
Yes, it appears that Trump values Fox News talking heads over his own agencies, which he accuses of being ‘deep state’ that are trying to get rid of him.
As for Trump supporters, I have yet to see a Trump supporter make intelligent rebuttals to any serious criticism of Trump.
Because they can’t. The facts are the facts. Trump lies almost all the time, his lies are plain to see for anyone who is paying attention, but Trump supporters are willfully blind, willfully ignorant, willfully siloed in an information loop that is continually creating misinformation, conspiracies and are continually being told anything else is fake news. That loop is becoming ever more extreme.
They willfully believe nonsense and Trump’s lies without bothering to check.
When confronted with reality that Trump is doing exactly the opposite of what he promised they ignore reality.
Trump is not a king, he is an elected politician in a position that can literally mean the difference between life and death for many Americans. Citizens do not need to treat him like a fragile snowflake.
It is our right AND DUTY to criticize elected officials.
He wanted the job. He has the job. It isn’t our fault he isn’t the least bit suitable for the job. If he can’t do it, if he can’t take the smallest amount of criticism he can and he should RESIGN.
Because he isn’t fit for the job.
This could be literally hundreds of thousands of words long. This was just a tiny rehash of many much longer articles widely available that describe Trumps lies in detail and his many, many glaring faults.
“Who could have known health care was so complicated.” Trump
Feb. 26: “So we’re at the low level. As they get better, we take them off the list, so that we’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”
“This is a pandemic,” President Donald Trump said at a March 17 press conference. “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
Trump had a lot of problems with the RINO’s his first two years, so even though there was a Republican Congress, there were many slithering snakes like Paul Ryan and John McCain who hampered his efforts. Do not know who Jim Danielson is, but he is spewing deranged nonsense, because he is deranged. He rants like a madman, full of lies, no logic, no truth, no examples. His ideology has been thwarted by Trump and it has driven him crazy, an excellent example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Liberal ideology is a mental illness, and as I’ve said before, the ultimate goal is the abolition of Biblical Christianity. Yesterday, March 27, 2020, The New York Times published an opinion piece by author Katherine Stewart. The headline reads “The Religious Right’s Hostility to Science Is Crippling Our Coronavirus Response” Do you believe that shit? Do you know why Trump says the press is full of shit? That is a perfect example of why he’s right. And it supports my opinion about the ultimate goal of liberalism. The New York Times believes Christians and Christianity are the root of all evil. They can’t take out Christianity until they take out Trump and Satan is working furiously through his leftist minions to accomplish that goal.
‘Nuff said
Hey Bizzy - is Westville still open? They might have a spot for you 😁
Douglas E, what do I gotta do to get in? Lol! The only Westville I've heard of is for the criminally insane.
Insane for sure, and probably including the criminally insane. However, my loopy Uncle Paul S spent some time there - not criminal as far as I know!!
Did not know that part of your family history. I thought that seeing as how we were all Mennonite at one time or another, the word would have gotten around.
When we next cross paths, I will tell you some Paul stories :-)
Will be looking forward to it! The only mental institution story I have concerning relatives is my dad’s mom’s sister. She married a guy named Arthur Burr Nose who ended up institutionalized and was killed by a fellow patient, who kicked him in the solar plexus. As you may know, a strong blow in just the right place to the solar plexus can kill by paralyzing the muscle.
Yikes!
Interesting and appropriate. We go from a posting of Democrat talking points and end up with comments on mental institutions and mental patients.
