    Of course he is the POTUS. Doesn't mean you accept him. POTUS isn't above the law, isn't above criticism, isn't king. People should absolutely know what he said, listen to what he said and response appropriately. Those that turn a blind eye, ear toward what he said, ignore him, normalize the worse of human behaviors, accept and allow everything simply because he's President - well, that's fine if you agree to that type of behaviors, but for the rest of us, we aren't citizens of NK, nor people that suddenly lack basic moral and decency.

    Someone trotted that stale line out? We're not disputing he's 45. We're just very sad and disappointed he can't act even 1/10 like a president. LOL.
    And we'll keep calling him on it, and we'll keep calling the water-carriers on it, and we'll keep calling out the spineless politicians who won't stand up to him.

    Pretty simple. As long as free speech lasts, we'll use it, much to the dotard and would-be-supreme-leader's chagrin.

    You missed the point.

    There's nothing surprising about this. He has been talking like this for forty years in the tabloids. He is an arrogant and.

    It would be crazy at this point to switch and be humble

    I was just suggesting this point in another thread. Trump will never change, and he doesn't want to. He's not a politician, and doesn't want to be. I agree that he says some off-the-cuff things that can ruffle some feathers. Hell, he's probably a bigger attention w**** and troll than I am. That being said I still appreciate the direction this country has been going under his watch.

    You are that guy who walks by a schizo homeless man spewing out incoherent absurd thoughts and your first reaction would be "ya, he wouldn't make a good public speaker" while a rational person would say "Ya, that person should never be in a position of authority... Ever".


    Yet he's in the highest position of authority possible. Ya, 25th amendment, where you at?

    It's really not good to make fun of people with mental illness, but I make an exception for Donald.

    Im the person smart enough to not give a ****

    None of this disrupts the country

    Your maker only gave you so much precious time to not to be spent worrying about Trump bragging like he has done for forty years.

    I mean this is what he is known for

    I always love posts that begin with "I am not defending him..."

    You forgot to include the "but..." where you proceeded to defend him. As usual.

    What does the 24 he news cycle freak out accomplish other than bring more attention?

    I wonder if people in Germany asked the same question... "should we speak out against Hitler, or just ignore what he says and does and he might stop saying and doing horrible things? After all... it might only bring more attention..."

    Yes because calling yourself a genius is like killing millions of Jews.

    Good lord

    What does pretending to be Pat Gabriel accomplish?

    UNITED STATES

    Most diverse #1 (Norway #98)
    Most opioid overdose deaths #2 (Norway #142) damn you, Random Nation
    Most illegal immigrants #1 (Norway #103)
    Most Facebook freedom #1 (Norway #35)

    People here must be clamoring to "be more like Norway".

    ??? Why would you say that. I just thought Bremer's stats were interesting. Certainly though, he carefully hid that bombshell about the all-important... Facebook Freedums. Also, Norwegians clamoring for opioid addiction and death might be giving us a hard look. LOL.

    I could honestly never deal with their weather or their homogeneity. But the "white people, everywhere!" is right up #45's alley. Et tu?
