Who used to be both intelligent and sane.

What has Trump done to his brain??  Turned it into Swiss cheese??

There's a lot of blasphemy going on in Trump circles elsewhere, and I am thankful every single day that there is a place like TBR where that kind of thing is not acceptable.

I keep trying to imagine anyone's saying that Ronald Reagan was Jesus.  They would have been pummeled by everyone, everywhere.

And Ronald Reagan was an admirable man.

Now we have this degenerate, cheating, lying unrepentant serial adulterer, being compared with Moses, David, and even Jesus Christ.

It's frightening to me because it reflects how far we have fallen spiritually in this nation.

BINGO!!!!
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

That's one reason I don't worry so much about Hillary winning. I like to see her win ...

In kind of an odd way, I wish Hillary would win. The sooner we get this over with the better.



I won't be here after the election and vote.

If Hillary wins - I will be busy, BLOAT! (It won't be long before she won't let you buy.)

If Trump wins, I won't be here to GLOAT. (I don't want to hang around while everyone looks at every speck in his eye.)

David killed a man and committed sin with bathsheba

David also had a heart for God.

I guess it's a similar odd way that I kinda wish Trump supporters could see what a rotten mess his election would be.

But I don't hate America.

Sure, he gets my vote.

Is he going to start wars that kill Christians? And that happened during the Bush administration well before ISIS.

I don't think you understand me. We have been in that awkward phase for a while now.

Thank you, Oceander.

Trump is an evil man, and cheerleaders for him are either overlooking the evil, or approving of it.

It's anyone's guess which of those two options the Trump cheerleaders on this thread are doing.......

Character still matters.  It always matters.

Wow.  How many posts have you spammed that nonsense on, Tommy??

Do you think rational people haven't noticed how inane your comments have been today, and how irrelevant to any of the threads you've spammed on?

You take leftist nonsense, and run with it, just to support your leftist boy, Donald.

btw, no one is voting for George W. Bush this election.

Only algor fans still hate him as much as you do......

Mexico is mostly Catholic. If he's going to take revenge against them, it will almost invariably "kill Christians," and that isn't even if his beer-swilling followers turn against those of us Christians who refused to endorse him.

War with Mexico? Wow. We are really in fantasy land today.

Sorry, read around, people have signatures calling Trump an idiot, a good portion of avatars are for no other reason to mock Trump.  Statistically, it happens all the time; I don't care to censor others, so I will exercise my right to the 1st amendment.

You can't kick a dog all day long without the dog biting back.

"beer-swilling followers",

Well, at least this is better than A's or B's posts that want to ascribe any Trump followers as "Neo-Nazis" or "fascists". Credit for that.

We have had open borders if Libertarians like that; through the borders, has come heroin killing hundreds of Americans, contributing to crime and allowing dangerous individuals.  Yes, the libertarian party now, wants some border restrictions it sounds like because of the danger of terrorism.

This site is quickly approaching the same level of insanity you would find at TOS, just in the opposite direction, but still the same. That is a disappointment to me.

I admit that admire people who have so much free time that they are able to spend all day doing nothing but sitting on this site spewing anti-Trump hate all day. No fun. No jokes. No points. No debates. Just hate, hate, hate, and name-calling all day long. What a way to live. What a life.

I must be one the few here who actually has a life beyond TBR. Speaking of that, it is time for me to get going. I may peek in once in a while to check on how the Trump-Wars are going on TBR. But, I doubt it. I think I've heard enough people called 'heathens', 'poop-head', and of course the now famous, "I'm putting you on ignore!!!" lol

Carry on guys. This is for you, not for me. This stuff is not my style.

Isn't Mexico the primary source of the illegal immigration problem Trump has made a centerpiece of his campaign?

What a weak excuse.  That's right up there with the accusation that the forum is becoming an echo chamber, and "I'm taking my ball and going home."  Why is it your hero can threaten people and you're just fine with it, but you can't stand it when a little heat is sent back the other way?  Sounds like a word that starts with 'hypo' and ends with 'crisy'.

Of course, I never read where Trump wants a war with them.

Shooting war, no way. If we are talking about economics, perhaps that is another thing.

Cruz and Rubio came out for wanting a wall built, McCain I understand, also wanted a wall built at different times.

I am reluctantly coming to the same conclusion. Some of the older members here predicted it would happen. I thought "Surely not. We refugees are better than what we left behind."

Evidence grows that they we were right and I was wrong. But, I have been accused of being an arrogant know-it-all so take this fwiw.

Building a wall and then making Mexico pay for it is starting a wall in all but name.  Imposing tariffs and protectionist policies is how trade wars are started.  Yes, Trump wants to start wars.

Setting up false premises and attributing imaginary points of view to others is a despicable debating tactic. VERY TOS-like.
