So you must not believe that people know right from wrong on their own, but model their own behavior after a sitting President? Really?
It's a sad testimonial when you have to resort to saying that Trump is acceptable because people know better than to act like him.
But i didn't say that. You did.
No, you did. And you know it.

wrong Alloak. The left fully realizes Hillary is dishonest and corrupt on some level, however, how is that different from the majority of all politicians since the country was founded? It's part of politics. We as voters recognize it as B.S., and simply vote for the best candidates. But Trump has invented a whole new game - a game never seen before in American history, so for that reason I don't see how it's logical to put the evils of the 2 candidates on the same level. One is far more dangerous than the other. The left is equally as screwed as the right because I don't know one person on the left who is satisfied with Hillary. But there should be no notion that they are equally as bad, IMO.
So you're gonna vote for Trump?

London (CNN) — As one of the world's most renowned scientists, Stephen Hawking is regularly called on to help explain the universe's more mysterious phenomena.
But asked to account for Donald Trump's political rise Tuesday, the British theoretical physicist was stumped.
"I can't," Hawking told CNN affiliate ITV's "Good Morning Britain" program.
"He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator."
Totally useless comment.
Lowest common denominator based on what criteria? Which candidate has appealed to the highest common denominator?

Of course. Absolutely. For instance, where in my post is the word "acceptable" used?
See what I mean? Some of what Trump has said is not acceptable, I mean I'd never say it. But that's not nearly enough to consider voting for H. Clinton. Not by a LONG shot!

Good question. I wonder if Stephen Hawking would have an answer for that. Probably not.
So, it looks like what we end up with is all politicians are idiots and criminals, so why bother to argue about who is better or more worth voting for? Maybe Trump is simply the most honest one of the lot, for showing everyone what a total *sshole he is and not trying to pretend otherwise.
Like I said before, when he slandered John McCain's Vietnam POW sacrifice, this *ssclown lost me. Why did he have to do that? He is unstable, unpredictable, and dangerous. He's going to do something really bad. And it will be your fault if you elect him.
Beautifully stated. And the notion that our President, or any leader for that matter, is exempt from demonstrating the highest levels of honor, is foolish. Shame on the leaders who fail at that, and shame on our citizens who accept it from any party.

He might actually make people go out and find a job and work instead of collecting benefits. The horror!!

I was more thinking along the lines of World War Three.

Or make us a target. But he's within his right to bash religions and nationalities so therefore he's 100% excused.
It won't take long. After 3-4 months with President Trump, people won't be able to control themselves. Everybody will turn into a big meanie, just like him.
Oh well, c'est la vie, to each his own I guess. I just can't for the life of me fathom why you love Trump so much. If someone that *ssholy were blowing his toxic air at your dinner table you would probably stick a fork in his eye.

He's too funny to poke in the eye, though I realize you probably don't think so. Sorry I'm not as offended by Trump as the PC police wants me to be. You're welcome to keep trying. I think it's kinda cute.
Somehow you have managed to make Muleman the more interesting conservative poster. He had a higher retention rate for sure.

But alas, this thread is not about either Muleman, nor myself.
Personal insults? Your already letting Donald Trump influence your personal behavior. That wasn't supposed to start happening until he got elected.

Trump continues to restrict freedom of the press by revoking the press credentials of newspapers and other media that write what they feel are truthful stories about what he’s been up to. I guess he wants to pick and choose which parts of the constitution to follow...
Donald Trump Revokes Washington Post’s Press Credentials
By Julian Routh
Jun 13, 2016 6:45 pm ET
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday said his campaign is revoking the press credentials of the Washington Post, citing its coverage of the candidate’s comments on the Orlando shooting.
“Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Facebook. Press credentials typically give reporters access to campaign events and press conferences.
“We no longer feel compelled to work with a publication which has put its need for ‘clicks’ above journalistic integrity,” the campaign said in statement released following the Facebook post. “They have no journalistic integrity and write falsely about Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump does not mind a bad story, but it has to be honest.”
The Trump campaign pointed to the initial Post headline “Donald Trump Suggests President Obama Was Involved With Orlando Shooting” as the reason for revoking credentials. The story centered on Mr. Trump’s comment on Fox News on Monday morning that President Barack Obama doesn’t understand Islamic terrorism, or “he gets it better than anybody understands.” In his Fox comments, Mr. Trump also said: “Look guys, we’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart or has something else in mind.”
In its statement, the Trump campaign also took a swipe at Post owner Jeff Bezos, the billionaire businessman who founded Amazon.com. ” The fact is, the Washington Post is being used by the owners of Amazon as their political lobbyist so that they don’t have to pay taxes and don’t get sued for monopolistic tendencies that have led to the destruction of department stores and the retail industry,” the statement said.
In a statement Monday, Washington Post editor Marty Baron said: “Donald Trump’s decision to revoke the Washington Post’s press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press. When coverage doesn’t correspond to what the candidate wants it to be, then a news organization is banished.” He added: “The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along – honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically, and unflinchingly. We’re proud of our coverage, and we’re going to keep at it.”
Robert Mahoney, deputy executive director for the Committee to Protect Journalists, urged Mr. Trump to reconsider his decision, saying it “provides a ready made excuse for authoritarian leaders to crackdown further on independent journalists.”
“A candidate for the highest elected office in the land doesn’t get to choose what goes in a newspaper,” Mr. Mahoney said in a statement.

So alloak, when those of us who are offended by Donald making fun of a disabled reporter, are we being too politically correct? What is your belief when your beloved Donald has crossed the line, or is there even a line which is PC for you?
I get it, it is some kind of a wagon-circling against the "PC Police". Never did understand that obsession with "PC" when usually it just has to do with common courtesy and basic manners. That is what is driving the Trump thing, then. Everyone watching envying the playground bully and wishing they could get away with it too. The ascendancy of Trump has a lot in common with the rise of Hitler. The arrogance and baiting, starting out verbal, then creating a firestorm of violence in the frustrated masses. This is gonna get real interesting.
Very similar phenomenon to Hitler's Brownshirts:
yeah yeah its wiki, but it isn't anything new:
BROWNSHIRTS: More than a year later, on 3 August 1921, Hitler redefined the group as the "Gymnastic and Sports Division" of the party (Turn- und Sportabteilung), perhaps to avoid trouble with the government. It was by now well recognized as an appropriate, even necessary, function or organ of the party. The future SA developed by organizing and formalizing the groups of ex-soldiers and beer hall brawlers who were to protect gatherings of the Nazi Party from disruptions from Social Democrats (SPD) and Communists (KPD) and to disrupt meetings of the other political parties. By September 1921 the name Sturmabteilung was being used informally for the group. Hitler was the official head of the Nazi Party by this time.

I didn't insult you. I only said muleman was more interesting. Sensitive much? See how that works? He can't influence me. He can only influence dysfunctional 'merica.
What's the context of the photo? When, and where was it taken? Was she waving at someone, trying to get a "high five", or was she going to pat the guy on the head?
That picture doesn't speak a thousand words to me, it just seems to want questions asked about it.

That's the punchline. There's nothing Trump could say or do that alloak would have a problem with.

If she was wearing a Bernie shirt, I'll bet you wouldn't say another word about it.

Actually, I would, but not what you are probably thinking I would say.
