Trump thread part 2 (Or anything else we want to talk about that's ridiculous in politics today)

that's like saying "i think that The Chump is sexy because his daughter is hot!" or "Jimmy Carter is a dumbass, because Billy..." :(
No its different because physical appearance is not correlated. If your kid is an asshole its usually, but not always, a reflection on your parenting. Other environmental factors obviously come into play and at some point you do make your own choices as an individual. I just think Hunter is messed up and his relationship to his father may have a part in that. The same way Eric and Don Jr. are little twat waffles because their dad is a Douche.

Aside from being a conservative attack points I thought Joe's Burisma and Ukraine dealings were sketchy and that was when he was running the 1st time. With those two something just doesn't pass the smell test.

Well you could be right since i don't know what Biden's relationship with Hunter was like in the early days of Biden's political career. Still I think Hunter was more likely messed up by the car crash that killed his mother and baby sister leaving him with just on parent while he was still a young boy and the other parent (his father) commuting back and forth between DC and Delaware everyday as he continued on with his just beginning political career. Now he did have his brother to lean on but it's likely with a high level job in politics and commuting by train everyday, there probably wasn't much time with day in those days leaving him raised mostly by someone else at least until Jill came into the picture years later. I don't really know who did most of the raising but whoever it was he probably depended on his brother the most for a sense of stability, only to have his brother die on him years later after getting brain cancer from the burn pits he was around when he served in Iraq. By all accounts the family was close and so it's much more likely it was those tragic deaths that messed him up rather then questionable parenting by his father. Only he can really tell you the truth of it all but that's my best guess.

As far as Burisma and Ukraine the only thing that seemed sketchy was that Joe Biden held up financial assistance to Ukraine insisting that Ukraine first fire their prosecutor general Victor Shokin who was seen as corrupt and was failing to clean up corruption in Ukraine which actually benefited Burisma. However Trump spun that to imply Biden forced Shokin to be removed in order to protect his son's job with Burisma which was a conspiracy theory that has been long since debunked. Plus Biden's efforts to remove Shokin wasn't just something he unilaterally decided, not only did the US government want him out but there were also calls for his removal by the European Union, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Oddly enough the only real scandal with Ukraine was Trump withholding a different financial package in order to pressure the new president , Zelensky to dig up dirt on Biden after Ukraine had already investigated the matter and found there was nothing there. The true dirt was that Shokin was a Russian proxy and when he was removed Russia of course didn't like it and began leaking false and/or misleading narratives aimed at discrediting Biden, some of which they did in coordination with Rudy Giuliani, all of which lead to Trump's first impeachment.

kids are a coin flip. they frequently turn out radically different from parents, for good and bad, for no apparent reason either. no doubt dad being in politics gave him more confidence in his dealings. who wouldn't ? in rare cases, it would give one a perpetual state of paranoia...except that it's not paranoia if they are really out to get you. :shucks:

The comparison to Hitler and his followers really isn't accurate, the Nazis had scientific prowess and were fairly athletic

Well they aren't saying Trump and his followers are exactly like Hitler and the Nazis, just that Trump is saying some of the exact same things that Hitler used to say, and any idiot that can read can repeat what they've read, even if they don't fully comprehend the impression it give to do so. But yeah Scientific prowess and fairly athletic are terms that don't match most of the MAGA crowd.

MAGA are like literal groupies, fans. When is the last time you have witnessed that kind of public enthusiasm for a presidential candidate? Obama was probably more popular.

Yeah, I've seen a number of those YouTube videos where reporters go to Trump rallies to see what their thoughts are about things. One thing I've noticed is that many of them (Trump Fans) travel around the country to attend multiple rallies, kind of like the way people will follow a rock band that's on tour. That's why the attendence looks so good usually. Half are the people from the area where the rally is held and the other half are those fans following Trump around. Another thing I notice is many of them aren't looking for information about what his agenda will be or anything like what you would expect from attendees of a political rally. Their looking for the entertainment value they get from seeing Trump put down his political rivals or go off on his insane rants about windmills or disabled reporters. They see him more like some outrageous comic, kind of like the way people used to get excited about Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy (Back in the Eddie Murphy Raw days).

yeah, the more nervous you act, the more suspicious you look. :angrymod::whistling::angrymod:
Or the more cold you are. I remember one time when I got pulled over for going 8mph above the speed limit. I had just finished smoking a joint and the cop could smell it. So he made me get out of the car and wouldn't let me put on my winter coat and he proceded to search my car. While he was searching the sun had started to set, the temp dropped and it started to snow. I'm standing there shivering because I was cold but the cop kept asking me what I was so nervous about. :freezing:

So the Donald won 50% of Iowa. Interesting. Guess his support isn't as absolute as he likes to think and claim it is.

I saw that half of Haley supporters admitted to planning to vote Biden if Trump is the nominee
in other words Trump just won his own special olympics
Yeah those were all republicans and Independents that switched to republican to caucus in Iowa just trying to help Haley knock Trump down a notch or two since she's looking pretty solid for NH and then her home turf of SC is after that.

What surprises me...well not really, is that he's still holding on to Alina Habba (probably by the pussy) and she's the worst lawyer of the bunch who has done him serious harm just by being incompetent. Of course he needs some sort of arm candy since his wife doesn't want to be seen with him lately. Which just shows everyone yet again what a moron Trump really is. I mean I'm not upset that she screwed up his defense by ot filing things when they were due but with all the legal trouble he's facing you don't drive away the reasonably competent lawyers to keep one who has proven herself incompetent. He's a stable genius in a pig's eye.
