POLITICAL THREAD

If Trump really said that as a result of Reiners death, that was classless and unpresidential. Reiner was obviously a vocal critic to the point of being insensitive, but DJT absolutely squashed a golden opportunity to rise above and show class.

As many of us have noted numerous times, Trump is a deeply flawed and narcissistic person. It's generally very unseemly to speak ill of the deceased, and if you can't say something halfway gracious and charitable about that person, it's best to just not say anything.

Respect to some of you for being normal human beings with souls. I'm still pretty grossed out by the left with Kirk. Can't imagine what his family is still going through and what the Reiners are currently going through a day later. That pain probably never goes away.

Just so we're clear, it's not cool or something to be proud of to lack empathy and sympathy. All Kirk wanted was to have civil debates and when he was killed, many on the left showed a complete lack of normalcy and mocked him. You guys called it out and rightfully so and yet, your leader is doing the same thing, thus, this clearly happens on both sides. You can't play the moral high game here when Trump and some on the right take every opportunity to do similar as the left when it comes to tragedies. You can't spin that as some sort of W to make yourselves feel better about your lives.

To the unhinged here, you're trying too hard. Show a lack of empathy about what happened or make two elderly people having their throats slit by their son into a bizarre political attack against them to your own children or your significant others. They'll look at you like you're insane and you know that which is why you won't do it.

Did you come out at the time and criticize your fellow leftists for their statements? If so good for you.

So which person are you a sock account for? It’s hard to keep track anymore.

Absolutely no one.

Thomas Massie is upset that Trump was disrespectful to a man who compared him to a Nazi, and is upset that Trump is blowing up drug boats. In Thomas Massie’s district I’d wager there have been 10,000 drug deaths in the last 30 years.

How strange.

 

[Magaaremarks]

oh and of course that’s how we do things, just blow ‘em up, no trial, presumed guilty, no declared war, etc. Very interesting.

It comes in handy for some parts of the job though, particularly foreign policy.

It's like I always say: If I'm facing prison time, or I need heart surgery, give me the lawyer/surgeon that is obnoxiously confident and an @SS You can count on their oversized vanity to do whatever it takes, not out of loyalty to me, but because they'd rather DIE, than have their incomparable record whether it's in the courtroom or the surgery room, f***ed up. And I'm not overly concerned with how he treats everyone, including me while he's getting s**t right. LOL

Democrats are a public defender and/or the surgeon that is extremely comforting to your family when he comes out to tell them you're dead.

Venezuela isn't about drugs. That's what they will say to the public but it's BS.

Is it just me, but when I see magaaremarks posts, it always reads/seems like he's just talking to himself.

They mostly come across is untethered to anything here, and have a stream of consciousness quality.

Rob Reiner was a part of the advisory board for a group called the committee to investigate Russia. Which was a thinly veiled “think tank” to push the trump-Russia hoax. This group also included James Clapper, Leon Panetta, and other CIA operatives and deep staters. I’d say Trump has at least a little reason to be bitter at people who tried to frame and jail him.

That’s correct. That’s how we do things now. And under Obama, too.

What’s more interesting is that you’d prefer we maintain the status quo that has gotten hundreds of thousands of Americans killed from the drug trade. Not to mention all the lives ruined.

But the poor drug runners, right?

@notFromhere What did I tell you? What did I say?

Yea, and I’m the Easter Bunny.

 

[JumperJack.]

I was interested in this argument that Trump’s war against the cartels is illegal. I could find no mention that either of the Barbary Coast wars were declared wars. But you can read for yourself that the Congress authorized Madison to use the Navy as he saw fit to protect American interests.

Why is what Trump is doing any different?

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

To those on the Left:
What would be the response if it had of been Trump that died and not Reiner? How do you think RR would have reacted to the news?

 

[Magaaremarks]

You don’t know they’re drug runners, that’s the point. Also, drug running doesn’t carry a death sentence.

You’re clearly an idiot, I’ll give you that.

We have four Christmas trees for the house. I mean, I don't get it but that's not a hill you want die on. What do I care?

I mean, it's weird but not insane, right.

But this is fun part, and my main job. It's not like each tree has its specific ornaments that go on that same tree every year. That's not how it works here.

Up in the attic there are about 24 really large totes. and they're divided in pairs. Tote1 and 1a (they're labeled like that. Each pair represents a different Christmas tree "motif" One pair for instance is for a "Moroccan themed tree set" and has all the ornaments lights doodads garland etc." Another pair contains a "Carribean set", and there's a "Mid-Century" set which has ornaments etc. that look like a tree would in the late 50's early 60s, you get it.

Anyway, the wife decides what we're doing that year, and gives me the manifest of crates to bring down. Once I do that, and assemble the trees, I'm out.

I haven't been allowed to participate in the actual decoration of the trees since our first Christmas. My "attitude and attention to detail" was substandard, so I was fired. Which is fine with me.

And here's the thing, I don't ever remember BUYING any of that stuff. And it's a LOT of stuff.

For the record, I like the Mid-Century tree when it makes the cut. It's got like small martini glass ornaments, atomic age designed stuff etc and the tree topper looks like a retro blender. I never SAY that of course, because she thinks I have poor taste, and that might make her second guess that one and retire it.

 

[Catman100]

The thing with President Trump is that if some reporter on a high school paper in Podunk town Kansas says something negative about DJT, you better believe DJT is going to respond and call him out. It is simply just the way he is. I wish he would leave most comments to himself, but it simply is the way it is.
I doubt that changes much for the next 5 presidents with how social media is now.
But for the record, Reiner had a maximum clinical case of TDS and really hated all conservatives as well.
I can only imagine what he would be saying today if DJT had been stabbed.

And I'm not overly concerned with how treats everyone, including me while he's getting s**t right. LOL

I also have this sentiment. Trump's narcissism (ego) doesn't bother me at all. If you are Mohammed Ali, if you can actually float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, I don't care if you remind me daily that you're the greatest that ever was. They literally shot him and the first thing he does is stand up and give a fist pump, yell's fight! ffs.

Trump is a phenomenon, like it or not... warts and all

Someone else on his team should be there to hit delete on this post before it ever gets potste.d

This group also included James Clapper, Leon Panetta, and other CIA operatives and deep staters. I’d say Trump has at least a little reason to be bitter at people who tried to frame and jail him.

This is another sentiment I have... It's easy to criticize, easy to say Trump should be magnanimous from your keyboard, but is anyone actively trying to ruin your life? Completely destroy your legacy? Rile up millions of "followers" against you? Celebrate your assassination attempts? Comparing you to Hitler?

No.

Are we really fighting Drug Traffickers? Really?

Here to talk politics (apparently with some touchy crybabies). Anyway, I have only this username, promise.

I thought FrontRunner vetted Magaaremarks and cleared him as a non-replicant.

 

[JumperJack.]

You don’t know that they’re NOT drug runners. This requires us to believe that the Navy has a strategic reason to blow up fishermen. That’s an extremely silly supposition.

Terrorism certainly carries a death sentence. It must, otherwise Obama wouldn’t have blown up so many of them along with their relatives.

Right?

 

[Magaaremarks]

Like I get some purple haired blueskyers celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death, but Trump is the f-ing POTUS! The potus should be better on the national stage than the YouTube comment section.

 

[HeismanWinner]

Oil/regime change.



Just go wait until Fox News feeds you your latest BS instead of scoffing at someone merely trying to wake you up.

 

[Nightwish]

I appreciate that you are on the side of civility and free speech. Perhaps, then, you can agree that wondering whether mental illness may have driven the son to kill his mentally unstable father is not a lack of empathy, but a natural question in such a circumstance.

You're painting a victim, someone you've never met and don't know personally, as mentally unstable. Disagreeing with his views or words does not make him unstable. But I've seen your posts on the matter and you seem to think it's cool to pretend to not have sympathy for a situation involving double murder. A man's throat was sliced by another family member and you've already shown your cards while at the same time painting one of the deceased as a defective. Again, simply because you disagree with his politics. You gotta grow up, my man. Spinning a tragedy because he didn't like Donald Trump or the MAGA movement is pointless, no? Maybe someone should tell Trump that this afternoon because people with common sense and souls aren't with him on the whole "let's attack the elderly murdered couple and make this all about ME" thing. What an embarrassing blunder that helps no one.

 

[JumperJack.]

On that, I think you’re correct.

He has feet of clay.

 

[JumperJack.]

I’m going to stop you here. Read this carefully and slowly: when someone believes that a real estate developer from NYC, who has Jewish grandchildren, is a Nazi and a fascist; and not only that, REPEATS it for years and years in public…

that person is ABSOLUTELY mentally unstable. What else do I, or you, need to see to be able to discern that?

 

[Bill Derington]

The debt has increased by 2.17T this year, though congress should bear the lion share of that. He’s done a tremendous job on the boarder.

So now Trump gets blamed for Biden’s last fiscal year?

You're familiar with the fundamental concept of the presumption of innocence?!

Rand Paul, who I don’t often agree with, said 25% of these suspected “drug boats” don’t have drugs on them when we interdict.

And again, drug running, while awful, does not carry a death sentence, and is not “terrorism.” To compare it to Al Qaeda or similar is laughable.

 

[Tannerdad]

Trump is a pompous ******* to make those comments. Just don’t say anything. Your the effing President. And stay off X for a while.

This is why I hate the man but voted for him for his policies. I pray I’ll live long enough to be able to vote for both.

No.

If he can't handle criticism then he should stop seeking the Presidency. He wants the power but doesn't want the baggage that comes with it. In that chair half the country loves you, the other half hates you. That's how it's always been. I'm old enough to remember conservative radio hosts saying Obama hates America. Literally. He was an adult and ignored it and didn't fire off insane paragraphs on social media. Stop making this grown adult into a constant victim. He recently called a female reporter "piggy" for doing her job and asking a question. I'm curious how you reacted to that.

He's the President. He's won the power of that office twice. Be a man, act like a man, and stop whining like an infant on social media. Funnily, many on the right have said this. The Right loves John Wayne. Would Wayne be having constant fits online if he were alive today, or "crashing out" as the current generation says?
