Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The problem is that other people did the work.  Not Trump.

So ... then why is Trump getting all the blame?

@libertybele

Well, I suppose because he's the guy at the top.

Unless you think it was Trump out there in the middle of the rescue effort, "doing all the work."

   Sometimes this guy reminds me of the flea floating down the river on his back, with an erection, screaming 'Raise the damn Drawbridge!'

You have just joined the group I label "Tacky as Trump."

There were several charter members on a thread last night.  I begged them to stop.  It ranged from nasty personal insults to creepy sexual innuendo.

Oh come on!   Where's your sense of humor?   That flea imagery was damned funny right there.   :silly:

I did not find it funny.  I am something of a prude.  But if you liked it, I'm happy for you.

You're a prude?   Oh...well.... then.

Nevermind.

I enjoy somewhat perverse humor upon occasion.  Hell.... I even liked Reno 911!

HELLO, DONALD???????

Remember a guy named George W. and 9/11 and Katrina, etc., etc., etc.....???



The difference between him and you is that he wasn't a pre-pubescent whiner who needed never-ending praise.
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.

We're all adults here........well.... ok....most of us, anyway...lol.  So really, that joke wasn't what I would call crossing the line.  Adult political forum, adult discussion, adult jokes.   It's all good.

Actually, the difference between a guy named George W. and President Trump is that guy rolled over and never fought back while the President won't roll over, does fight back, and gets the truth out.   

And, yes, I know ... fighting back is nasty business and isn't very nice.   :shrug:

Yeah, and that time and place is never on a serious political forum like this one.  Especially when there's arguing to do about who has praised Trump enough today.  I think I will recommend a demerit system to management.  Anyone who makes a non-serious and non-political or off-color (am I allowed to say that anymore?) comment shall receive 5 demerits.  Receive 15 demerits and you will be forced to sit in the corner and face the wall for 5 minutes while wearing an orange dunce hat.

   I was there last night @Emjay it WAS brutal and I even removed my extreme snark before the mods got to it, after you pizzed on the Thread by asking everyone to settle down and comparing us on the level of Trump Tweets, I do thank you for that as I'm sure it was about to be locked with 2 mods swarming about.

   Duly noted that the 'E' word may trigger some.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Yeah, I think that thread may have triggered the latent prude in me.  It got really creepy and nauseating.  But you were not to blame at all.

It was awesome.  I was accused of being a drunk and warned another member of ending up with a house dropped on her like happened to her sister.  Good times.

Seems to me then they should be blaming those working the rescue effort ... which actually means that the rescue effort is under way and those b**ching  are making false accusations and instead should be pitching in as well.  It takes time and a concerted effort by those involved to get things done.  Things don't work as harmoniously when there are those working to accomplish relief efforts, while others stand around and do nothing but criticize that they're not doing enough.

@libertybele

Blame the people doing all the work?  Why?

Personally I think Trump did a good job of getting aid to Puerto Rico, but he isn't above criticism.  And if he's going to claim he did it all, then following your reasoning, he should put on some waders and get out there in the muck.

You do realize that you just earned 15 demerits with that post?  You broke all three rules.

Well done.
