    I was quoting the article and amazed that that is ALL there was.

    Except you agred with that article as you cited that example again for a definition of a "DINO" otherwise what was the point of quoting it?

    I did not. My note was that that was the ONLY example. Stop putting words in my mouth.

    I was only referring to an inaccurate representation not volume. Trump did not invent mudslinging. He only came late to the game as he was a late-starter politically.

    Trump didn't invent mudslinging, but he did invent poo flinging into modern American politics as well as baseless election denialism.

    I thought Clutch invented poo flinging. Hasn't it been in the description of the D&D for years?

    He does but it’s a red herring to try to divert the conversation from never having to explain his take that Trump is not an autocrat.

    If attempting to overturn Democracy is not evidence of being an autocrat, I don’t know what is. And if you run with the talking point of “well he wasn’t successful so …” then that’s like saying because a car is wrecked on the side of the road it’s really a plane because technically the car isn’t driving down the road.

    We shouldn’t take the bait to allow yourself to engage in the diversion tactic. It’s not mudslinging if it’s blatantly true. It’s not mudslinging to call Jeffrey Dahmer a murderer. It’s not mudslinging to call someone at a Spurs game with a Spurs jersey on clapping every time the Spurs score a Spurs fan.

    It’s nonsense. Over these next 18 months, Republicans are going to be doing exactly this type of crap to try and whitewash 2021 so they can win in 24. We can’t let that fly.

    Clutch did not event the term or the practice itself, haha, but he may have first put it in the description for D&D.

    Monkeys (and we are basically monkeys but for just a few genetic switcheroos) do sometimes fling poo at one another. It's just an observation from primatologists.

    Other than humans, our closest relatives the chimpanzees are just about as socially violent as animals get. That's our biological heritage, and when several whole industries can exploit those tendencies to make money, you get the state of our country more or less we have today. Leading the world in jails, anger-focused media, military, and weapon manufacturing. Woo hoo!

    I dunno, I was listening to Joe Rogan the other day and he thinks we are actually closely associated to Elephants who abandon the males out in the wild in loneliness while all the females play with each other by the watering hole. If you ask me as a fragile insecure white man, we actually have an elephant sized problem in this country with gender issues and therefore I’ll be voting for the best representation of an alpha elephant who ***** in the watering hole in Donald Trump.

    Sounds good. I need to listen to Rogan. What have actual trained biologists ever done for anyone anyway? Pffft.

    NEWSFLASH! He's not an autocrat just because you say so. He obviously isn't an autocrat because he does not have unlimited power as he is obviously not in The Seat.

    How "democratic" is it to threaten to impeach a president before he takes office, then "trump" up a fake dosser, bring to impeachment charges, impanel and investigation that reveals lots of embarrassing things about the FBI. You just see what you want to see. We, too, can let that fly.

    Yes, and I find it invalid. Trump got elected because he rejected all the fake play-nice in politics. He punched back. Many loved it. Sadly, in reaction we have a feeble Joe Biden... and people are encouraged?

    The only thing encouraging about Biden is that he isn't a fascist.

    Maybe don't chose fascists as your candidate though I feel as if the GOP base wants fascism anyways.

    I've said right here.... numerous times.... that Trump's beleaguered efforts on the election result do not have my sympathy. For me it's like a parent with dementia. You prefer to think of them as they were not as they are now. Throwing around terms like fascist and autocrat are just ways to inflict damage.
