SectionC3

Whataboutism. Nice. Here’s the deal. We’ll never know if Hillary or Bernie or the former governor of Maryland who nosed around the race in 2016 would have done better if she/he had won. Trump has been the president for the past 3.5 years, and what has and has not happened during his term is on him. Speaking for myself, I believe in the rule of law. I believe in the United States Constitution. I do not believe in crushing unions; in point of fact, I strongly support them. I am proud to have marched with people demanding social change and true equality for all. I do not believe in juicing the economy with tax breaks that disproportionately favor the rich. I also do not believe in juicing the economy on borrowed money for which future generations will have to account. I abhor the xenophobia on which Trump trades. I also believe in the dignity of America and in American superiority. Trump either does not share or has actively undermined my policy goals. He is epically outmatched by the simultaneous generational crises that he has allowed to fester this year. And he has tarnished the American image and reputation. So for that reason, I’m not for him. I never will be. I question the intelligence and motives of those who are. I will vote accordingly in November. And I will not forget those who supported the blemish on American values embodied in Trumpism. So, where do you have the realtors looking? I’m genuinely curious to learn the locations that you’re considering.

That might be true. But then he added water by bringing his merry band of sycophants to town. Draining the swamp was another alt-promise. Instead he just made a bad situation worse.

Just like the border wall reviving the coal industry was an alt-promise.

You should take your own advice. In the few weeks that I have patronized this forum, you have, among other things: 1. Admitted that you have tiny baby hands. 2. Displayed a severe case of Biden Derangement Syndrome. 3. Acknowledged your “wine cork” status. And 4. Regularly behaved as a victim of the Trump Hoaxes. Even this morning, as I sat down hoping to peacefully munch on a breakfast vegetable and enjoy some fine Canadian coffee you startled me into a state of wonderment. I previously thought that you could not be the victim of any more Trump Hoaxes. It turns out I was wrong. Yet again, and very sadly, you exemplified your victim status again this morning through your contention that Trump’s promises with respect to the efficacy of the border wall were “fake news” or “alt-promises” insofar as you now believe that, contrary to the 2016 Republican Platform, the wall was intended to be only a speed bump, as opposed to a barrier sufficient to stop pedestrian traffic. It’s sad. It’s also less than marginal. I encourage you not to stumble down the ramp, but to run to a hoax-free zone. It was supposed to be Mexico, but that was an alt-promise. Now, apparently, Mexico will pay for it indirectly and in the future, perhaps with cryptocurrency or precious metals mined from Mars. But that too may turn out to be an alt-promise.

Hoax. I just happened to have a copy of the 2016/2020 Republican Platform on my desk this morning and noticed this gem: “The border wall must cover the entirety of the southern border and must be sufficient to stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.”

Did I mention yet that Jesus was a brown person? FYI.

He’s a coward, you’re a phony. And the beat goes in for the fake Christian B-Man. Also, FYI, Jesus was a brown person. Nope. But I do think that you have a hopeless case of short man’s syndrome. So there’s that.

That’s not very nice. You seem to have been triggered there, snowflake. Upon further reflection, that’s an awful thing to say. Someone should die because you disagree with their opinion? That’s shameful. And you’re the guy who got all pissy because someone picked on your grammar. Shame.

Close your eyes. Or just don't enter the stadium until after the anthem.

Hoax.

Hoax Hoax. also, the idea of meaningful havoc among internet randos is kind of funny.

Hoax.

Again, I ask the questions here, sir.

I ask the questions here, sir. Not you. If you would like to correct the record, which shows, among other things, that you believe Donald Trump to be a liar, please let me know.

Hoax. I’m not the one who supports the flying of the banner of a loser, traitorous, bigoted group like the Confederacy. Actually, now that I think about it, loser, traitorous, and bigoted fits Trump pretty well. So it’s natural that he’d want to keep the stars and bars flying high. Maybe he can hug that flag, too.

Semantics won’t save you, sir. Your answers (and, in point of fact, your refusal to provide answers) to my previous questions establish your view that Donald Trump is a liar, and that he also is a hero to the African-American community. I realize that I’m not the one who has to look my Trumper pals in the eye and explain to them that Donald Trump is a liar. If you’d like to correct the record in that respect please let me know.

I have merely highlighted your bizarre version of the truth here, sir. You think that Donald Trump is both a liar and a hero to the African-American community. The civilized world agrees with the former statement and disagrees with the latter. There’s nothing else to say on this issue.

Maybe when you’re not in someone else’s basement (kind of like how Trump hides in the basement of his public housing in Washington) you can work on your grammar. Even the protestors and those little Mexicans whom you despise but whom you allow to collect your milk and to pick the fruit that you pop in your mouth without thinking use our language better than do you.

Sounds like that GG dude, who just admitted that Trump is a liar but still maintains that, save for Abe Lincoln, Trump has done more for the African-American community than any president in the history of this country.

Non-responsive. I’ll accept your refusal to answer the question as an affirmative response. In any event, today we learned that GG believes that Donald Trump is lying when Trump suggests that he has done more for African-Americans than Abraham Lincoln. We also learned that GG believes that, save for Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump has done more than any president in United States history for the African-American community. So, at bottom, you believe that Donald Trump is both a liar and a hero to the African-American community. Thanks for playing!

I’m not your pal. And I’m also the one asking the questions here, not you. Your answer is non-responsive; the issue is not “deciphering whatever pops into Trump’s head.” Rather it is your belief as to Donald Trump’s place in presidential history with respect to handling of matters of race. I will repeat the question on the floor: do you believe that Donald Trump has done more for the African-American community than any president in United States history other than Abraham Lincoln, yes or no?

This is why you’re on the Washed Up Psycho List.

The question called for a yes or no answer, sir. Also, I’m the one asking the question here, not you. I’ll accept your answer as a no. So let’s get to the second step of this exercise. Do you believe that Donald Trump has done more for the African-American community than any president in United States history other than Abraham Lincoln, yes or no?

Yup. And the party of Lincoln, which curiously is cool with the display of the Confederate flag in 2020, diddled around and tried to wish the virus away after having dismantled the federal mechanism designed to address such an issue. Let’s start this exercise here. Do you agree that Donald Trump has done more for the African-American community than any president in United States history, yes or no? By “[t]he dead appreciate it” you mean that “George” appreciates those ginned-up economic numbers that Trump used to manipulate the stock market last week, right?

Assuming you ascribe to this logic, Obama’s inaction necessarily must have been worse than Trump’s action on the issue of race in America. Since, of course, Trump has done more for African-Americans than any president with the possible (and I stress this is only the possible) exception of Abraham Lincoln: https://theweek.com/speedreads/919762/trump-still-doubts-lincoln-did-more-black-community-than
