    Thought I'd include this pic of my favorite kind of fishing, trolling. But seriously, WTF are you talking about? Please clarify your comments.

    Its quite difficult to get any, so to speak "against the wind" opinion across on this particular thread. Talking about politics with people I disagree with is too stressful and frustrating; However all things must pass and perhaps this thread might also move along ... one day .... maybe .... perhaps after the upcoming Presidential Election .... Sigh ....:weary::weary::weary::weary:

    LOL wow get over yourself

    Lets look at this -from what I can tell you’ve posted 10 times in this thread before this – and it’s not exactly a great record - here is the sum total of you contributions - questions answered NO - explanations given NO - adding anything of any worth to the debate NO

    · Just keep voting Republican. Post 136

    · An American "dictatorship" will never happen. Post 260

    · Not a true reflection ... sorry. Post 263

    · With his [Obama’s] past record as Prez he should keep a very low profile. He has nothing to be proud of in terms of what his administration acomplished or what they failed to accomplish. Post 270

    · Thats what you say.post 279

    · You need to somehow if at all possible get a better grasp of the English language and more especially irony ... ever heard the word before? Post 282

    · Of course that would be a plus. Post 284

    · Well anyone who writes herd for heard shouldn't lecture me on irony. Post 287

    · Another duplicare thread. FFS lets get some variety here! Post 400

    · Share this with your buddies with my compliments ....(picture of raised middle finger) post 441

    LOL if posting such dribble makes you stressed you really need to see a doctor

    I think Dax highlights the big probelm on the right - they just are unable to debate honestly because they know their ideas are bad and even danagerous as they basically accept undemoctractic and even dictitorial ideas.

    ^^^^^^ The right has no problem with dictators .......................... as long as it's their guy who's the dictator. And for those TRUE idiots who say "it'll never happen here" ........................... see Roman empire.
    What destroyed the Roman Empire? Corruption and greed on the inside. The empire became divided, distrustful and weakened by corrupt infighting of the leaders. That led to invasions they could not defend against.

    See also ........... WW I and WW II. Only 103 and 81 years ago respectively .......................... mere seconds ago in the span of history.

    That's a stupid response to Flag from you. You must have gone to Trump's University for stupid people.

    Do you ever remove your blinkers? Do you ever debate? Do you ever go into a thread with an open mind? Its so easy when you have tunnel vision to be rude to people who refuse to agree with you..

    Yes, repulsive indeed, and he goads us to waste our time to keep trying to explain the obvious to him, and if we don't fall for it then he claims we can't back our positions.

    "I asked you forty questions a hundred posts back, in a different thread, and you never addressed my criticisms, so your point of view is invalid." That kinda thing. You can inform a leftist but you can't make one think straight. Although maybe with electro-shock therapy... :-/

    You say there's an elephant in the room?

    Hmmm, I don't see it. Am I hallucinating it's non-existence?

    Did trump pay 25 million dollars to keep from going to court when his "real estate school" was deemed a fraud?

    That's a complicated question. Trump supporters can't ponder long enough on it without smoke rising from their ears.

    They selectively dish out insults and baseless claims. They don't debate or discuss anything. They just insist we accept their warped Trump ideology.
