In this room, there is no shortage of considered intelligence. Warden, 305, and CanesSC, though highly intelligent, all suffer from the great flaw of Greek protagonists; that being hubris. You’ll recall the case of the Great Compromiser Henry Clay who was famed for declaring that he’d rather be right than president. Indeed, Clay got his wish. He ran for president three times and was rejected three times.
All of your kvetching and criticism about and of Donald Trump has failed to put a damper on the brightness of his ascending success both domestically and in foreign policy. In poker terms, it’s time to foldem. As hard as it is, it is time to admit being mistaken, and you’ll be delighted to know, that I, the senior member of this room, will accept your confessions of wrongheadedness without rubbing it in viciously.
A case in point is that Pierce Morgan in a recent appearance on Fox News. As reported by Gateway Pundit: “And what happened is, in the election, America went, “You know what? We quite like " Trump. So we’re gonna vote him back in because we’re sick of you whiny liberals.”And by the way, I USED TO IDENTIFY AS A LIBERAL. I’M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY SHAMEFUL (emphasis added) [inaudible]. I have nothing in common with the woke, left, liberal world at all and they’ve got their comeuppance. He [Colbert] won’t be the only one that goes”.
Therefore, it’s time to follow Pierce’s example, and I shall look for your contrite confessions.
All well and good but this has nothing to do with Canes football that I can see. Pls move this to a place it can be better ignored. Thanks
Sorry, I have erred in placing this message in the wrong forum. For the record, this is the first time I’ve committed this error in a decade, so be more indulgent about my faux pas. Being in my eighties, I tend to make more mistakes than I did during my younger, halcyon years.
305, Please move this to the Storm Shelter, and Caniac, you can go suck lemons.
I wasn’t personal. You can be old, but you don’t have to be a dick. On some level, we are on the same team.
Just don’t read it.
Why read it, stop, comment…. Just move on.
Odd, you don’t feel the same way about homosexuals, gay marriage, or literally any other thing on the planet. You’re all in on authoritarian control.
Maybe you should shove your head up your own ass and look for some integrity
Doing really well in Hungary, Israel, Nigeria and Kenya. Solid work.
Why do we care what other countries feel about Trump?
Because the United States doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Whether it’s about trade, security alliances, managing global conflict, what other countries think of our leadership and their ability to rely and trust in them affects how willing they are to cooperate with us. Human history has always been shaped by cooperation, from the earliest days of forming tribes, trading across continents or building any kind of institution, have come from working together. Cooperation built all of civilization; pretending we can go it alone in all tings isn’t bold or tough, it’s juvenile.
If they can’t trust or rely upon you, they go around you.

The world does not revolve around the United States, just like the sun doesn’t revolve around the earth.
What we are witnessing is a redux of the behavior toward the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Called a cowboy, third rate actor, and intellectually unfit, Reagan experienced severe criticism from the left of course both at home and abroad. Appreciation for the splendid success of the Reagan presidency wasn’t recognized until decades later. The same is true of Trump who is winning, winning, and winning more. Trump is a hero abroad among the people who recognize common sense governing. Look for Europeans too to support populist conservative candidates whose aims are the preservation of Western Civilization. Trump is the most powerful human extant on this planet.
I’d rather they respect and fear our present. I couldn’t give a fuck if they like him.
That’s some weak ass feminine thinking.

The fragility of your ego is on full display. Fear of vulnerability, fear of empathy, lack of relationship building, discomfort with ambiguity and complexity, etc. It’s super interesting to see such a clear example of a broken person, a deep seated desire for control, security, a childlike image of strength with such an undercurrent of emotional insecurity and fear of appearing vulnerable. It’s like you developed to a 2nd grader but never beyond that, not internally. What you see as your strength, everyone else around you sees as you’re childhood crutch that you never grew from. So curious, but it does show how and what you value and how one would come attracted to someone like Trump. What a weak, underdeveloped person.
The only leaders who’ve governed like this are Stalin, Hitler, Genghis Khan, Kim Jong-un, Idi Amin, etc. Fear doesn’t breed respect. Fear can breed obedience, but obedience isn’t respect. While abandoning the foundation of all human civilization, you devolve into the juvenile methodology which has doomed every attempt in history that led to distrust, resentment and instability…usually coupled with some genocide and global attempts at dominance.
What you showed us is that you never grew from a child, not inside. You were a broken little boy, obviously. It never left. You really do need therapy, but you don’t have the inner strength and confidence to allow it to ever happen. You poor thing.
Respect him. They think he is a clown
Keep
Listening to what they say… I’ll watch what they do.
Ok, you keep doing that. They go along with him knowing that in the long term he wont be a factor. He has put tariffs on us as tax payers. Jobs reports came out and they sucked. The economy is slowing down. Keep thinking king trump is some savior. History will repeat itself….just this time he leaves the country in a complete mess. Yeah putin really respects him.
A. Oh I’m sure they wouldn’t lie for a survey
B. And if it is a truth, who says what they would want from Trump lines up with anything that is good for America
How is someone this fucking stupid and partisan?
