    This is excellent. I can relate to remarks like these because points are made that are oozing with logic instead of emotional irrationality.

    One point in #3. I know I've mentioned this in the Forum once or twice months ago when there were threads regarding why any of us voted for Trump. The fast and easy answer of course was that he wasn't Hillary and he wasn't another lifetime swamp denizen. Beyond that though while Trump was displaying his seemingly less than stellar "moral" attributes, there was another reason. All through the campaign I said, "I'm not voting for a Sunday school teacher, a new member of the board of elders at my church, pastor, rabbi, guru, whoever....I'm voting for a President. A President is one who is there to defend and uphold the Constitution, lead our military, keep us on budget, provide infrastructure and by all and any means protect the safety of citizens."

    Those looking to a politician or businessman as a "moral" compass for themselves will always be disappointed. So, I suppose this might be one more thing to add to the list as to why there are so many emotional, hysterical basket cases. If any of them are truly looking for morality lessons (which I doubt...it's just a convenient excuse), they're chasing their tails looking in the wrong place.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I would throw plain old deflection into the mix.

    Trump had a good week or so with getting the UN sanctions on NK and then forcing Bowl Cut to back down---without BC getting any concessions. That was either spun or underplayed by the media.

    Also, the Russia Gate collapse. The left and the media really, really don't want to talk about that. Or about the prospect of Awan striking a plea bargain that could nail some prominent democrats.

    So, paraphrasing Trump to make him sound like he loves Nazis was a political gift to the anti-Trump left.

    They will beat it like a dead horse. This could go on for weeks. The left never runs out of dead horses to beat.

    Given that the entire point of this thread is the exact opposite sentiment from the one I expressed, I was kind of expecting you to say, "Nay, Threedee. The honorable Grind and the Legendary Scott of Adamshire hold the correct assessment here!"

    His article could have been applied to all the Obama haters, too. The only change would be the issues he was talking about. This is like "fill in the blank with group name" psychology.

    trump wasn't thinking about the safety of Americans when he was in that pissing contest with Kim.

    They aren't cartoonists. Unlike trump and adams they actually understand how government works.

    America is catching up fast, guys.

    The hardcore Trump supporters - I'd call them the 34%, but that's probably too generous - will take a LONG time to come around. Not because of any real loyalty to Trump, but because they refuse to admit that liberals may have been right, and that the media may be for realz.

    So, they're dug in. Trump's right on that; he could do or say anything, and they'll still support him. But everyone else is waking up. Quickly, as Trump would say.
