You really don't get it do you? I give up. I know, fire back some sarcastic remark but could you at least try to rise to the level of "I know you are but what am I?" No I don't get why someone would say they voted for Trump because they didn't want to vote for Clinton. Specially considering there were roughly 150 million other options. A vote for somebody is a vote for somebody, not against somebody else.

Yeah like handling classified information without a security clearance. Or lying to congress under oath and keeping your job as the AG. Or forgetting all your interactions with foreigners so you have to keep "amending" your security clearance application. Or lying to the FBI.

How exactly is one supposed to have a debate about statements like this: "Canada does not treat us right in terms of the farming and the crossing the borders." What does that even mean?

My point being he actively chose Trump. Why not just own it, in stead of pointing to somebody else. I thought Republicans were the people who always talked about taking responsibility for their actions?

And as mind bogglingly bad as Trump is, and he is, I think he has one big advantage. He's not smart enough to cheat this country and screw us over, long term, the way the Clintons did. It's like picking Otis or Lex Luthor. I think the wack of wacky judges getting installed makes that statement laughable.

Not only that, continues to maintain it has the best system, with the best democracy with the best government and the best of everything....

That is pretty clear. 1. If it was good before, why is it bad now? 2. Democrats have proposed and enacted lots of policy in the last 10 years. Other than making themselves richer, I am not sure quite what policy the GOP has proposed and enacted. Oh yes, a wall and a ban on Muslims. Strong platform!

Couldn't you have written in anybody?

I don't have a problem with twitter at all. I don't even have an issue with the rather simple language he uses. I have an issue with the continues falsehoods and straight up lies he is spreading and his base is eating up as facts. I have a problem with a previous president having to give up his peanut farm because republicans went apeshit, and this Republican party president enriching himself constantly. And people seem to somehow think it is smart. I have a problem with a president who propose the elimination of funding to NPR and PBS, which would save less money than he has charged the taxpayers for his golf trips. All while he and his fellow Republicans loudly protested Obama playing golf. I have a problem with all those Republicans who mocked people as snowflakes now getting bent out of shape when straight and tough language is used. The list goes on for quite some time. But I am more than willing to have a debate about all of that. Primarily I would love to hear some logic and debate why HRC would have been so much worse than Trump?

You had more options than Clinton or Trump. You chose Trump.

Quite correct. I am considered quite conservative in Canada. Am actual a member of the federal conservative party. I would be a Democrat in the US, specially in the current state of the two parties in the US.

Yes. Without calling anyone; stupid, liar, or attacking their belief system, or even their ideology. We used to do it. I will have to apologize, but I have a hard time trying to have a reasonable debate with somebody who supports a guy who: * Advocates assaulting women. * On average lies or tells a mistruth multiple times a day. * Attacks a gold star family. * Attacks Mexican Immigrants. * Makes fun of a disabled person. * Hires foreign agents after being told they are. * Advocates for the jailing of his political opponent. * Has public outbursts about the size of his button. * Calls his opponents names. * refuses to read his national intelligence briefing, but allows those without clearance to read it instead. * Calls his opponents Traitors. * Actively undermines a free press. * Supports white supremacists. * Is a racist. All those things get glossed over and there is no serious debate about that. But we should have serious debate about a grand military parade..... I get it. It became personal for you about me. You would be incorrect about my continued support. But, that's OK - our dialogue has been deteriorating for sometime. I do find it interesting that when we were discussing Obama back in 2008; I never stooped to calling you or anyone else on here, stupid, liar or attacking them personally. In fact, I presented the case here online as to why the birther issue was inaccurate. I wish you well. I didn't call you stupid. I did call Americans in general stupid. That probably wasn't correct, I should have used ignorant. I made a joke about a stupid guy wanting a stupid parade. That would be Trump. Then I said that there probably a lot more important things to debate in the current situation than a parade. But glossing over all the other issues and than "taking a stand" on the parade issue seems weird to me. Quite frankly I am surprise the US doesn't already have a grand military parade. The herofication of armed forces and armed conflict is asinine to me, but an integral part of American culture.

I'm going to have to disagree, Bill. Go back to when Obama was up for election... Search Criteria: FROM Speakers Corner" and, STRING = "Obama" Where "BIGUN" is poster. And, yes: I am offended that this has become personal attackville on both sides. And I don't think the problem is that the Democrats debate their opponents while shouting slurs. It's that so many Democrats ONLY attack. In list after list I see zero talk of policies or actions just "are you one of the people who are so stupid they voted for Trump?" directed at anyone who says anything they disagree with. You do remember that the Republicans had as a stated goal, for 8 years, that the only thing they wanted to achieve was to obstruct Obama and his policies. And now here you are objecting to Democrats being the ones not having policies?

He released it against the objections of DOJ and FBI. That makes perfect sense. They were trying to cover their own abuses and asses. Which is quite evident when we see what comes out day by day. How would he know? He made up his mind before he even read it.

Yes. Without calling anyone; stupid, liar, or attacking their belief system, or even their ideology. We used to do it. I will have to apologize, but I have a hard time trying to have a reasonable debate with somebody who supports a guy who: * Advocates assaulting women. * On average lies or tells a mistruth multiple times a day. * Attacks a gold star family. * Attacks Mexican Immigrants. * Makes fun of a disabled person. * Hires foreign agents after being told they are. * Advocates for the jailing of his political opponent. * Has public outbursts about the size of his button. * Calls his opponents names. * refuses to read his national intelligence briefing, but allows those without clearance to read it instead. * Calls his opponents Traitors. * Actively undermines a free press. * Supports white supremacists. * Is a racist.

Perfect, let's go. If BIGUN really wanted a debate I am sure he could have used the ON TOPIC or SERIOUS tag in his titled. I do believe we have some rules regarding that in this forum. Since he didn't, I thought a stupid joke about a stupid man was allowable. But if that hits too close to home to somebody who supports a 5 time draft dodger calling for a military parade, then so be it. I see a grand military parade as nothing more than a giant dick swinging contest and will debate in kind. But if somebody wants to convince me that this grand parade is more than that......let's do it. If not, then this is probably one of the more stupid topics to have a serious debate on.

Oh yes, buttery males when all else fails. Trump communicated his decision to release the Republican memo before he had even read it. He released it against the objections of DOJ and FBI.

Yes, cadet bone spurs is very wise. Obviously God is guiding him. This is why SC is going downhill. You look at post #28 by SkyDekker right above yours and the way he responds. Then, you look at your snarky comment attacking ones' religious beliefs. If he was Muslim or of less than legal status you'd be tripping over your "embrace multiculturalism" tongue. Stop attacking the man's belief system and debate the topic. Debate the topic? Americans were stupid enough to be gaslighted by an orange con-man who advocates sexual assault on women. And you want to take the "high road"? You want to debate a topic? “Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.” You mean have meaningful discussions like this? Or how about a meaningful discussion on why the Dutch are such good speed skaters? Or how about a thorough debate on how thankful the Koreans are for the Japanese? lol

I think you are going to see an uptick in GOP rambling about Russian interference and how it is happening in the 2018 mid-terms. Should there be significant gains by Ds in these mid-terms it will give the current administration a perfect excuse not to recognize the results. Until a full decade long investigation is completed of course.

Clinton supposedly put National Security at risk with her email server. Yet in this administration people who are refused security clearances are purposely kept in positions that require these clearances. And yet, not a peep from people like Ron and Rush. Both were so upset about buttery males.

He knows better what Americans want than the majority of Americans right.

You have been wrong every single time. This is just getting farcical now.

A very large volume of trading is done by algorithms scanning the internet and financial reporting. Quite a bit of financial reporting is done in such a way that it is easier to read for the algorithms. It is estimated around 70% of the market volume is traded as such. Volume wise computers issue much more trades than people do.

That's hilarious! I see that the guy who claims to have shot Bin Laden isn't too fond of the parade idea. I am waiting on a Trump tweet indicating the SEALs were never welcome in the parade anyways. Probably part of the Libtard Deep State.

They should just string Trump along, tell him the planning is gong marvellous and set a date. Then on the morning of the parade tell him that it had to be cancelled since all those participating called in with bone spurs.
