Wow. I guess you told me. What a scathing come back, Joe. Just devastating. Especially the part about "pulling on a turd". Inspired aphorism. Do you write professionally for a living?
Look, I thought that new poster having an anti-Trump avatar was stupid and rude, so I expressed my opinion. Then like five people jumped in and cluttered up the thread after my single post. That made a lot of sense when one of the big complaints was "off topic posting". I posted one, they posted five. So much for cluttering up the thread with off topic posts.
Besides there are only a few days before the election. SO MAYBE IT'S APPROPRIATE TO INTERRUPT FUN AND GAMES WITH SOME SERIOUS POSTING!!!
Okay, you don't have to shout. For starters, after the craniorectal insertion the GOP has had this year, after four decades of support they can KMA, I'm no longer a member. That's serious. Such changes are not made lightly.
Second, in order to cut down on the wailing, gnashing of teeth, and rending of garments around here, we have a tendency toward 'gallows humor'. Handle it, it will only get more intense.
Now for the really serious part. Due to the collective stupidity of the American voting public, it is highly like that without accident, incident, or Divine Intervention we will end up with one of two New York Liberals for President, neither of which is suited for the task.
It doesn't get much more effing serious than that.
There is no equivalent anti-Hillary faction on 'Crat forums. I find that VERY disturbing. It also find it disturbing that Smokin' Joe and Gernol and some others on this forum don't find that disturbing. There are some arguments to be made for refusing to vote for Trump. There are no GOOD arguments, but at least there are ones that are more substantive than the endless parade of feeling-centered ( at best) ones I've seen on this forum.
Why should I find that disturbing? I don't hang out on Democrat forums. If you don't want to see bad things written about Trump (like the truth), well, maybe you can't handle the truth. Maybe you would find one of the many forums out there which will tolerate no ill word about their subject of worship more to your tastes. Those of us here who are going into this horrorshow with our eyes open are going to discuss what we expect, when it will be time to dump the stock portfolio, buy metals, groceries, tools, or more ammo, and basically try to figure out who will be shooting at who, 'cause I think that's coming.
Michael Medved has made about the best argument against voting for Trump that I have heard so far and even though it is still a terrible argument, at least he tries to make rational sense instead of throwing one long tantrum that boils down to, "I have supernatural powers to see the future so I know that there is absolutely no chance whatsoever that Trump will be significantly better president than Hill-O-Lies".
I don't know anyone here who claims to have supernatural powers to see the future.
I have been paying attention to Mr. Trump's escapades, many of which are well recorded, and they bode ill for the future of any country run like he runs his businesses. It does not take a genius at extrapolation to anticipate a trainwreck.
Reasons people will vote for him vary, but I am not so terrified of Hillary that I will vote for him. I do not think he will do a significantly better job than she will, nor do I think he will better follow the Constitution of the United States, as he doesn't even know how many Articles it has.
He, too, has oft embraced Liberal philosophies, Planned Parenthood, and has engaged in questionable practices in the past limited in scope because he hasn't had access to the things Hillary has.
Frankly, there is no excuse I can see to vote for either of them.
So I won't. Michael Medved can vote for whoever he damn well pleases.
So can I.
