You are trying so hard to make sense.. but failing miserably. I feel like I should throw you a life preserver.. but I don't really want to. Keep struggling...
As far as my vote goes... who would I vote for? Hillary? What is it on her platform do you believe lines up with my political beliefs?
I knew what I was getting with Trump: Good judicial nominations (hopefully 1 or 2 more in the next 3 years!) and less government regulations.
PLUS, the entertainment value of seeing snowflakes like you have a complete meltdown. I not only called the election for Trump, I also predicted the entertainment I would receive from him winning.
Please tell me the Democrats are suddenly for a balanced budget, a solid middle class and a strong national defense! That would literally be music to my ears... unfortunately for you: that's just bullshit on your part and you know it.The deficit has exploded every time the GOP has taken power in most of our (perhaps not your) lifetimes, with one exception: Bush Sr., and he was unpopular with your crowd for that very reason. The GOP's policies will accelerate, not reverse, the decline of middle America. The notion that the right cares about national defense is comical, as you literally voted for someone openly calling for a foreign intelligence agency to commit espionage on his behalf, and who has threatened nuclear war, on Twitter, for no reason. He's weakened our relationship with all our allies, all our trading partners, and is in the midst of waging a trade war, again, for absolutely no reason.
I mean, I guess you know better than Mueller himself, who said there was no evidence of criminal wrong doing on Trump's part.Sorry, buddy! Your talking point's out of date. We have evidence, which you ignored, remember? And, uhh, multiple people have already been convicted (Flynn, Gates, van der Zwaan) and the last just got sentenced to a short prison sentence. Your failure to read the news reflects only on you.
It's not like you have an upset axe to grind or anything.............
Wrong as usual. I AM better off today. I'll BE better off tomorrow.Financially, you might be superficially be better off, in the short term, at the cost of everything that conservatives used to claim you care about (see: policy), and weaker in every other regard. Perhaps an easy choice for you, but in addition to that stance demonstrating that you're an imbecile, it demonstrates you're not really a conservative. Your own personal self-interest is apparently your only motivation.
Again, my alternative would be Hillary Clinton. Do you think she would propose tax reform that included a cut of any sort?
My choice was between Hillary Clinton and Trump. It was the right call for us to make on 11/8/16 and it's still the right call today. I'm sorry you can't seem to get over it. Poor you.
Harry Reid already broke the Senate rule.. and Biden set the precedent already. Do you think we shouldn't have done it? You're really stupid.How you rationalize it is your business. Biden did bloviate about it, but the Democrats never did it. The GOP did. Don't blame anyone when it comes back to bite you, though. Similarly, if McConnell changes the rules to a bare majority able to pass bills (which, to his credit, he claims he won't do), don't blame anyone but yourselves.
Where did I say I wasn't particularly motivated? I LOVE these back and forths and can keep going on forever. YOU were the one lying when you said you didn't like them, as evidenced by the post I'm quoting and your history here.Nope, never left! I do, however, do as you claim. So do you, though.![]()
You claim you're above it.. but you're only lying to yourself. We've seen your posting history here.
You made the claim that I was upset. Your evidence was 3 posts in one topic.Something called context matters. Reactionaries don't really like grey areas, though, do you? Oh well. Not everybody thinks in such retarded, reductionist terms as you do. But one can definitely tell when you're off your meds, PB.
You made this dumb rule.. but at least we both can agree you're dumb.
Delusional.Yup. Sure did. Remember how you completely, utterly failed to respond, relying on a personal insult instead? That would be you capitulating, being put in your place. Shamed.
You haven't put anyone in their place here. Ever.
So, the first person was sentenced to jail for being on the Trump Administration and colluding with the Russians?Sure thing, buddy. The first person was just sentenced to jail. Your failure to follow the developments, again, reflects only on you.
Anything else, is just something entirely different.
Sorry.
I'm not your buddy. I'm not your friend.Notice how you had to reach back 9 1/2 years, and I reached back to 2 days ago? Spoiler Alert: That isn't a coincidence or an accident. You debase yourself on a constant basis, my deluded friend.
And given that you created another login to use to agree and got caught with was literally the dumbest thing to ever happen on this message board.
And you've done PLENTY of really stupid things.

Go away already Macguyver.
It's a moot point, as you've established you don't really have any political beliefs, beyond your short term, self-serving interests and your tribal interests.
Democrats are far more fiscally responsible than the GOP. That's totally beyond dispute at this point. The conservative advocacy organizations have been talking about it since last year. What a surprise that that information hasn't found its way to you, though it did to me.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
There's a reason why the peanuts that individuals' tax rates were cut are temporary, and the corporate tax cuts are permanent. Spoiler Alert: It isn't because the GOP cares about the middle class. Similarly, their failed efforts to turn back the clock on healthcare expansion don't serve the middle class, nor do their efforts on the FCC, the environment, and basically any other issue. Likewise, the GOP absolutely destroyed its credibility on national defense, after spending how many trillions of dollars in Iraq? Trump's main foreign policy accomplishment has been threatening nuclear war on Twitter, and dismantling the State Department. Your ignorance of those issues doesn't constitute a reasoned position.
... Yeah. You need to work on your reading comprehension. Just like Trump does. That's for the better, though, if it lulls him into the same erroneous thinking you just demonstrated. That's what you get for only reading Trump's tweets or headlines on Drudge: an incomplete picture based on a selective interpretation designed not to inflame the cheetoh-in-chief's feefees.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
Again... superficially, in the short-term, at the greater cost of American power, influence, an increasingly small middle class, damage to all our relationships with our allies and trade partners, etc.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
No, she probably wouldn't have, as the rationale for a tax cut made no sense, provided that you actually care about the things you claim to care about: a balanced budget, the middle class, etc. When Trump took office, jobless claims were at record lows, the deficit was finally under reasonable control, the stock market was at record highs. A permanent tax cut for corporations and the super-wealthy didn't make a lot of sense. But they, like you, are self-serving: not meaningfully "conservative."Originally Posted by Parkbandit
Um.. No. Reid used reconciliation, as the GOP did for their tax bill. That's not what I was talking about, and again, McConnell has said he won't be doing it. (If he does, he'll regret it). Trump has been trying, so far in vain, to get him to do it.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
Erm.. No, again. This is the third time in a single exchange that you're having reading comprehension problems. Perhaps you should re-read the thread.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
Fourth time. You really need to take a breath, read what's being written, think back the half-century ago to your grade school education, and try again.Originally Posted by Parkbandit

Yeah...... The Special Counsel, appointed to investigate Trump et. al's links to Russia and subsequent crimes? The very same one has convicted several people, and sentenced another. Stay tuned. But again, your failure to keep up with the news is on you.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
Try again.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
This almost counts as a response, except for that part where you simply repeated the thing you already did, and couldn't actually come up with anything else, compared to my example two days ago. Blown out yet again. Perhaps next time you'll try to actually make an argument instead of just repeating the last thing you tried and failed with.Originally Posted by Parkbandit
tl;dr You're retarded.
I literally started to read your response.. but then realized you aren't particularly motivated for the back and forth and assumed your tl;dr was full of lies, stupidity, assumptions and excuses.
So I didn't bother reading.
I know you spend a great deal of time on that post.. but I wasn't particularly motivated to sift through all the stupid to find an inkling of intelligence.
Also, skimming through it, I saw no underlines, bold or italics.. so I didn't think you really did your best work on it.
Overall, I assigned the letter grade you always crave..
