Cap, I asked already, but just in case you would be willing to say:

What causes you so viscerally to hate Trump?

I am honestly curious.

That would take a book.  And frankly, that you even have to ask, proves that there is something missing in you that would prevent you from even profiting from the information.

Executive summary: I consider Trump and his rabid cult of personality supporters, ranging from neo-fascist Proud Boys to mentally deranged Q-Anon psychopaths as the most obvious example of a clear and present danger to my country that I have ever seen in my lifetime.

I believe Trump doesn't have the slightest understanding of our political system and would like nothing better than to over-throw it and place himself in an unchallenged authoritarian rule like his man-crush Putin.  And his mouth breathing Brownshirt zealot followers would love nothing more than to overthrow the government and give it to him.  Worse than that, I believe he would want to set up a dynasty where his sniveling brats could continue to rule after he dies.  Like North Korea or Syria.

I consider them a threat as much as a division of Russians making an amphibious landing on Galveston beach. Worse because so many Americans still don't see the full scale of the threat in front of them.  I hope they wake up to the full threat before it's too late.  I think that's starting.

I know it's pointless to explain it to you.  You are obviously nose-blind to the stench.  There were many in Germany that weren't evil.  They may have been distracted by their hatred of communists, or of the French and British, with their innate authoritarian leanings (it's rough moving from a monarchy to a democracy).  By the time they had realized how far they had been led astray by a monster, it was too late.

Executive summary:

Thanks for that.

The other side thinks similarly:  rabid supporters of leftist causes, leftist blackshirts ironically named antifa, TDS, high-level democratic functionaries and their billionaire cronies promoting authoritarianism, use of government agencies to suppress opposition, etc. -- all being the direst threat ever to the US.  They hope that the other side will wake up to the danger.

Each side feels it is right.  Some of each side hates the other side and feels it is evil.

I think most of the people (not all, but most) on each side are pursuing what they think is good.

I have my own opinions on what I think is good (mostly:  follow the Constitution, root out corruption, don't force your views on another state, support freedom of speech, get a balanced budget, have free markets, etc.).

But we operate in a whirlwind of propaganda, agendas, and partisanship.  Backed by new technology that amplifies it all.

Our world needs to figure out how to deal with that.  We'll see how it goes.

We are in tumultuous times.

I think of this when I disagree with folks.  For example, I disagree lots with Arlo and semp on politics.  But I think they are very good people.  Good human beings with good motivations in their hearts.

[CptTrips]

Thanks for that.

Anyone who commits violence in a protest should be prosecuted. 

But there is a fundamental difference street violence and when that violence is targeted toward interrupting and stopping the peaceful transfer of power in our government.  Egged on by a President who wants to become an authoritarian ruler.


This is not propaganda.  This happened. These are not tourist.


These are domestic terrorists chanting for the capture and assassination of a sitting Vice President.


What do you think they were planning with the restraint if they found the elected lawmakers they were looking for?


Burning cars and gas stations is criminal.  But this was political violence.  Directed at our seat of national government.  Incited and cheered on by a wannabe dictator.

a cognitive test checks for problems with mental functioning. I assume Trump requested one in order prove he does not have any issues.

Biden refuses to take one, but do we really need to see the results? It's obvious to anyone that he is severely impaired

I guess you don't know what a cognitive test is. you don't request one, it is given to you by a doctor if he suspects a problem. otherwise it's a waste of time.  they're pretty simple questions. to brag that you aced one is childish and dumb. that's why he was made fun of.

the fact he was given one is of more concern. now biden hasn't had one because his doctor doesn't think he needs one, I assume since he hasn't gotten one.

Trump asked to take one. You can request a take one. Are you kidding?

So a cognitive test is not to test your cognitive abilities?

Biden should be forced to take one and he will refuse. If he does take one it's going to show severe cognitive decline. I don't think anybody has a question about that.

the test he took is to test for early dementia or impairments.  and no you cannot request one,  call your doctor.

and as for him bragging that it gets harder, one of the last questions is name the place and time where you are.

last year I fell and banged my head pretty good, I was told I was driving around, talking to people, playing the game and I have no recollection of it. I ended up at the hospital with a nice contusion on my head,  mri showed that. I passed the cognitive test but yet I could not recall what my wife looked like or where I lived.

Lol. Whatever you say, Semp .

It's impossible to get a cognitive test unless you are requested to take one. The reason being is that it's such a technical and administrative advanced testing that they just can't waste that on anybody!

Trips and others like him are just mad that a real leader stood up to them and exposed their corruption and government abuse of power. They can't stand that anyone would ever question their authority. It's why they continue to support 40 year politicians corrupting and selling out our country. When you listen to Trumps speech in Anchorage last night, you can see that he is exactly opposite of what Trips and his propagandist believe about Trump. When I watch Trump, I feel like a proud American who wants to keep America the most prosperous and free nation on earth. He is way more patriotic than any Democrat or even a republican really than I have ever seen. Trump wants Americans to be the best. It's sad that democrats or RINOs like Trips can't understand or realize why Trump is so popular. None of their candidates can create crowds like Trump. They are Jealous. They hate that he wants America to be powerful and great. They hate that he doesn't want their globalist wars against 3rd world nations. They hate that he knows what they are really doing behind the scenes and corrupting this country. They know in the end because they can see it with Trumps #s that we are way more powerful than them. All they have is propaganda and bought off media propaganda to keep their UN agenda sherade going.

Trips, did you abuse government power? 

[CptTrips]

RINOs like Trips can't understand or realize why Trump is so popular.

Trump is popular (with a certain segment of dead-enders) for the same reason that Duck Dynasty and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo where popular.

he took the Montreal cognitive test,  it's 20 questions. and it's given if they suspect something is wrong. and the questions aren't that technical. what is today's date, is it a Monday. where are you, what time is it.  what animal is in this picture...

not sure which test you are talking about.

Would you believe that today 6 years ago, Seth Rich was gunned down by MS13 gang members as a hit for him exposing Democrats cheating. People like him don't just get gunned down.

Things like this are why people support Trump because they are tired of corrupt power silencing people.
