How about vandalizing cars of people who are most likely left leaning if not hard core leftist because the CEO of the company is volunteering some his time in an attempt to make the gov't run more efficiently. You're endless attempts to warp what Thx and I post into some sort of gotcha moment.

You're upset that the richest man in the WORLD is "volunteering" his time?

Wow.... So you didn't understand "Sleepy Joe" has nothing to do with he sleep patterns?

Cool. Explain the etymology to us.

Conspiracy theory much? I'd assume the sniper radioed that the threat was eliminated. But interested in your theory. Was BidenCo trying to take Trump out? Trump left a sleeper cell behind to conduct this operation? Inquiring minds want to know.

So it makes total sense to you that right after someone shot a bystander at Donnie Diphit's rally, the Secret Service lets him stand up and pump his fist in the air, immediately exposing him fully to another potential attempt?

Some people call that negotiating. What is it when Trump gets concessions to lift the tariffs? What about the tariffs that went through. Seriously, Team Blue can come up with a better meme.

It's one that makes total sense. He repeats his failures. Tariffs, trickle down, claims of controlling illegal immigaration, claims of controlling drug addiction, claims of the best economy in history, etc.

You think Bannon is the first guy to "flood the zone?"

Bannon specifically said that it would be a STRATEGY.
A POTUS flooding the zone with bullshit. Exactly what the people want: A POTUS who is full of shit.
Not me.

The majority of the "insurrectionists" were just rioters.

And you know this, how?

Who is claiming "the Justice System is out get him?"

Aside from Trump himself? People like you. His sycophants. His staff.

"TDS makes sense"? In what way? Talk about a forced narrative.

To free thinking people it makes sense.

"Sleepy Joe"? Trump falls asleep everywhere.

Nothing to do with sleep.

"Stood up and said fight". Interesting how he and the Secret Service immediately knew that his life was no longer in danger after a person nearby gets shot.
This is the same guy who was hiding in the White House bunker when there were protests in D.C.

Is there more to this conspiracy?

Trump Always Chickens Out. Tariffs Round 1: Bluff gets called; he chickens out. Tariffs Round 2: Bluff gets called; he chickens out..
And others: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...rump-lies-trial-tiktok-election-b2559895.html

Negotiations.

"Twisted logic games".
You mean like the right-wingers (and Trump himself) always claiming Trump is right, even in the face of irrefutable evidence that he is wrong?

All evidence can be refuted.

You mean like claiming, any time irrefutable evidence that Trump is wrong is offered, that the evidence is somehow faked or altered?

You mean being refuted?

You mean like defending Trump against all the illegal shit he does, but saying that the Justice System is just "out to get him?

You mean giving opinions from different points of view?

You mean like spinning the name insurrectionists into "rioters", even though they were clearly attempting to change the course of our government?

You mean like calling all the criminals that were raping, murdering, looting, committing arson and so on were spun into peaceful protestors?

You mean like calling the insurrectionists "patriots"?

Alleged insurrectionist.
Insurrection:
- an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

Show me the revolt.

You mean like claiming that Biden dies in 2020 and has been replaced by actors or robots?

Made up by the left and claimed to have been made up by the right.

Immigrants eating cats and dogs?

Seen it.

Cool. Explain the etymology to us.

sleepy(adj.)​

c. 1300, slepi, "lethargic, weary, overcome with sleep, tending to fall asleep," from sleep (n.) + -y (2). Perhaps from an unrecorded Old English slæpig. Old English did have slæpor, slæpwerig in the sense "sleepy;" slæpnes "sleepiness." Similar formation in Old High German slafag.


It is attested from late 14c. as "inducing sleep." Of places, "quiet, unexciting" from 1813 (Irving's Sleepy Hollow is from 1820). Sleepy-head "idle, lazy person" is from 1570s. Related: Sleepily; sleepiness. Sleepish "somewhat sleepy" is attested from 1520s.

also from c. 1300

So it makes total sense to you that right after someone shot a bystander at Donnie Diphit's rally, the Secret Service lets him stand up and pump his fist in the air, immediately exposing him fully to another potential attempt?

Secret Service terminated the shooter literally seconds after Trump was shot. SS knew there was only 1 shooter because BidenCo told them so. Duh.

You're upset that the richest man in the WORLD is "volunteering" his time?

Actually said exactly the opposite. It's the TDS'ers that are so upset that now we have EDS to go with TDS.

Cool. Explain the etymology to us.

Are you dense? Why would I explain the etymology of a word that's being used out of context?

So it makes total sense to you that right after someone shot a bystander at Donnie Diphit's rally, the Secret Service lets him stand up and pump his fist in the air, immediately exposing him fully to another potential attempt?

Not if they heard the shooter had been neutralized over their radios. I'm not surprised that you've bought into the conspiracy. You're as looney as the Qanon folks.

Not me.

So you're saying a POTUS flooding the zone with bullshit is something new? Are you serious? Did you pay attention to any of the previous administrations? It goes far beyond administrations, both parties and their propaganda networks all "flood the zone." Get a grip.

And you know this, how?

Aside from Trump himself? People like you. His sycophants. His staff.

I've never said the Justice System is out to get Trump. Again you decided to redefine what I've actually said. Why do you continue to do that? When have I ever said the Justice System is out to get Trump?

 

[Jimi77 Premium Member]

Bernie got it totally wrong. Has nothing to do with Kamala not running a campaign that targeted the working class, although I do agree she didn't do a good job targeting the working class. The reason people didn't vote for Kamala is because listening to her, there was no reason to believe she'd any more mentally capable than Sleepy Joe.

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

You see how few replies you post when I or anyone doesn't play your game. No rambling on and on, no ten pages of refusing to accept proof or facts. You say tap dancing, I say relief.

It's quite alright for you to leave the thread if it hurts your butt so much to be here.
No one is forcing you to read about Trump being Trump

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

"EDS". A ketamine addict ripping through our government finances with a chainsaw. What could go wrong, aside from a bunch of broken laws, a hundred million spent so multiple hundreds of millions in income can be lost.
Sounds like a great plan

Are you dense? Why would I explain the etymology of a word that's being used out of context?

The etymology would tell us how it's being used "out of context".
Unless of course, you don't want to share the etymology. Do you not know it, or would sharing it screw up your "out of context" claim?

Not if they heard the shooter had been neutralized over their radios. I'm not surprised that you've bought into the conspiracy. You're as looney as the Qanon folks.

Ahhh "THE shooter". So they knew in that short fraction of time that he was the ONLY person involved, that the situation was immediately "all clear", and that Trump was safe.
But he hides in a bunker in the White House when protesters are throwing water bottles at the White House fence.
Got it.

So you're saying a POTUS flooding the zone with bullshit is something new? Are you serious? Did you pay attention to any of the previous administrations? It goes far beyond administrations, both parties and their propaganda networks all "flood the zone." Get a grip.

Yep. Serious. Show me some examples of previous administrations putting out a large volume of disinformation, conspiracy theory and fantasy, and just plain lies, like Trump and his admin have done.

I've never said the Justice System is out to get Trump. Again you decided to redefine what I've actually said. Why do you continue to do that? When have I ever said the Justice System is out to get Trump?

It wasn't you talking about how the courts were biased against Trump in the E Jean Carroll case, or in the 34 felony convictions, or that the judges are making decisions based on politics ("politically motivated"), or about the "biased judges" or "liberal judges"?

If you say so.

Let's be honest, you're not concerned about the etymology of the word sleep. If that was truly your intent, you have Google. You're just looking for another opportunity to twist and distort my post and create another gotcha moment. Ot maybe you're truly too stupid to understand why we called Biden "Sleepy Joe."

Ahhh, Rob the liberal conspiracy theorist. At least you're not alone, if O remember correctly Mr Maddow went down this rabbit hole.

Bush Jr and WMD - biggest snow job ever. Both sides engaged in disinformation campaigns during Covid.

I talked about a ridiculous law being passed that is clearly flawed and certainly not a standard you or I would want to be held to. I said judges are politically motivated, IIRC, I provided you with an example of RIGHT WING judicial bias. I've called Jackson v Hobbs judicial activism. Yet again, you take what I actually say and twist it fit your narrative.

That would just make your day huh? Someone who doesn't come close to taking your liberal bullshit and spits it right back at you just going away so you have free reign to spew your misinformation, propaganda and lies about Trump because you were told to. I don't think so. I'm not your ex-wife or your kid so keep your suggestions to yourself.

You're getting to be a bit like Thxone. Instead of just answering the question, you tapdance all around it, like Gregory Hines.

Ahhh, Rob the liberal conspiracy theorist. At least you're not alone, if O remember correctly Mr Maddow went down this rabbit hole.

"Rabbit hole"? You mean it makes total sense, after an attempt is made on his life, for a POTUS to stand up in the wide open and pump his fist in the air?
When it happened to Reagan, they slammed him to the ground like an unsuspecting QB, and I think even broke some ribs in teh process of covering him.

A Trump supporter takes a bullet, and they immediately let Trump stand up in the open.
Good stuff.

So the judges in the EJC case and the felony convictions were fair and impartial?
That's contrary to what you said before.

You lefties have a label for everything. I am not tap dancing, I am literally doing what you do which is not answering. Annoying isn't it. I appreciate the link up to Gregory Hines. He was an extremely gifted and talented man.

A bullet hit Reagan's rib breaking it. Don't even attempt to change history to support your bullshit argument. If you have to change things then you never had an argument to start with.

A Trump supporter takes a bullet, and they immediately let Trump stand up in the open.
Good stuff.

It kills you to see a man laugh at the lefts attempts to end him. I think if he held up a middle finger it would have been more appropriate. But you will just have to live with this image.

Takes a helluva lot more than that to make my day.

Someone who doesn't come close to taking your liberal bullshit and spits it right back at you just going away so you have free reign to spew your misinformation, propaganda and lies about Trump because you were told to. I don't think so. I'm not your ex-wife or your kid so keep your suggestions to yourself.

"misinformation, propaganda and lies about Trump"
It's gotta' be multiple dozens of times now you've tried to use this defense, and never ONCE have been able to provide proof or evidence to back it up. Funny how that works, huh?

Keep complaining about reading of Trump's failures in the "Trump being Trump" thread; I'll keep suggesting that you avoid reading stuff that leaves you so butthurt every time.

Repeating stuff... well you are an authority on the subject.

I have dude wipes.

 

[Jimi77 Premium Member]

You're getting to be a bit like Thxone. Instead of just answering the question, you tapdance all around it, like Gregory Hines.

Why would answer a stupid question like the entomology of the word sleep? If you honestly wanted to know the entomology of the word sleep you would have Googled it yourself. It was a dishonest question that didn't deserve an answer.

"Rabbit hole"? You mean it makes total sense, after an attempt is made on his life, for a POTUS to stand up in the wide open and pump his fist in the air?

Good stuff.

So what should we call leftie conspiracy theorist? I'm going with BlueAnon.

So the judges in the EJC case and the felony convictions were fair and impartial?
That's contrary to what you said before

What I'm on record as saying is court cases appear to be getting decided on politics not law and it goes both ways. Therefore, the Judicial System is not "out to get Trump", since the system has judges with both liberal & conservative bias.

There we go. Now everybody knows why "Sleepy Joe" caught on.
