Let's look at this from another angle, SECOND.

Do you believe that when Rose Mary Woods deleted a critical section of the Nixon tapes it was an accident, as she claimed?

ETA: Your actions, SECOND, indicate you're not here to actually discuss anything, but that you have a different agenda. If you're not going to discuss things, I suggest you rethink your presence here on a discussion board.

Trump: Crazy Like a Fox, or Just Crazy?

Has the first 100 days of the presidency made Donald Trump nuts? You read all of Trump’s 100-day interviews and they are just bizarre.

Out of nowhere Trump tells us he would be “honored” to negotiate directly with the leader of North Korea, after weeks of threatening war. Out of nowhere he says he would consider a gasoline tax to pay for infrastructure. Out of nowhere he says he is considering breaking up the nation’s biggest banks. He also insists that his Obamacare replacement legislation contains protections for people with pre-existing conditions that it doesn’t.

There’s barely a dictator in the world for whom he doesn’t have praise. And he repeats a known falsehood — that Barack Obama wiretapped him — and tells reporters they should go find the truth, when, as president, he could get the truth from the F.B.I. with one phone call, and when pressed whether he stands by that allegation, answers, “I don’t stand by anything.”

Is this a political strategy unfolding or a psychiatric condition unfolding? I don’t know — continue at www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/opinion/trump-crazy-like-a-fox-or-just-craz
y.html?_r=0


I found a believable answer in the comments to the NYTimes opinion: Trump's not crazy, he makes intentionally outrageous statements to set up a cover for the times when he makes unintentionally idiotic statements. He brings his daughter and son-in-law on staff so they can explain to him what's going on - they are literally the only people who won't rat him out.

When confronted with his lack of knowledge of foreign affairs, Donald Trump responded: ‘I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.’ – from “Our World Outsmarts Us” by Robert Burton

g-the-human-brain


The article is illustrated by a cartoon from Puck magazine in 1909. Look at it carefully because the labels on the characters are hard to read. Once you do, then it makes perfect sense why that cartoon, The Laughter of the Gods, is on an article by a neurologist who is explaining that each of us at some point reaches the limits of our expertise and knowledge. Those limits make our misjudgments that lie beyond those boundaries undetectable to us.

Maybe the 19th-century French writer Alexandre Dumas said it best: ‘The difference between genius and stupidity is: genius has its limits.’

Trump’s health care bill is a betrayal of all his promises. With his limitations, does he understand what is in the bill? Maybe not.

Trumpcare does the opposite of what he says.

Having run a campaign during which he promised to cover everyone, protect Medicaid from cuts, and replace Affordable Care Act plans with “terrific” coverage, Trump is now behind a bill that cuts Medicaid, covers fewer people, and allows states to replace ACA plans with stingier coverage.

That’s all happening because the GOP is committed to rolling back the taxes that pay for the Affordable Care Act, delivering a financial windfall to high-income families even though Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin swore at his confirmation hearings that the Trump administration would not pursue tax cuts for the rich.

I don't bother with digging up old stuff people posted here like some others, but if you care to look a while back 1kiki, Second herself already admitted as much. She has absolutely no interest in having a discussion with anybody but herself about anything.

I'm paraphrasing here, but she said that she is "speaking to the future", whatever that means.

Pure left-wing elitist ideological douch-baggery. Nothing more, nothing less.

For me to get you to back down is as impossible as me getting Trump to back down on Trumpcare, as today's example. There is huge difference between his understanding of Trumpcare and what in the real world bill. Does that make him change his mind? Never. Are you changing your mind about Trump? Not happening, is it? What is there to discuss with someone like you? You made yourself very clear who you are many years ago, as has 1kiki and Signym. Or have you been faking it all these years?

I've been drunk for years. That's no excuse for my behavior, but you don't have a clue who I am, lady. What I can say is that I'm probably the most honest and definitely the most "human" poster on this board after sticking around here and not running away like a little bitch would after sobering up.

Trump is doing fine enough on his own changing my mind about things, but it's going to take a hell of a lot more, dare I say WWIII, for me to ever truthfully admit that we aren't still better off than we would have been with another Clinton in office.

Don't try to turn this around on me or lump me in with opinions of others who don't tow your elitist lib-tard mentality. I'm at peace with who I am, flaws and all. Maybe you should do a little soul searching yourself. I couldn't even begin to imagine what your problems are, but I won't deny that rich people have them too even if I could never relate to or empathize with them.

Keep your judgement and your bullshit link posting you pretend are opinions to yourself. If I want to hear somebody mindlessly parrot the crap you post everyday I'll order cable TV and watch some CNN.

I think you are in for a big shock, 6string.

All the "MSM Trump bashing rumorz" will be proven. Then you are going to hear crazy conspirasy theoryz from your rite wing media soursez for a wile. Then gradually, they will tranzition to a cya (cover your ass) stratejy az the facts emerj, attempting to distans the Republican party from Trump.

Rite wing voterz, who are currently ignoring how much their congressmen and senatorz are trying to keep the TrumPutin skandel quiet, will not need to forget it wen they are being told that Ryan and McConnell dezerv credit for impeaching Trump.

The more you insulate yourself, the worst the shock will be.

Jack, it's you who is not being honest about who you are. First, as SECOND says, you are closed minded. Then there were the perverted posts. Some that scared me concerning your niece. They made me hope her parents were paying attention. Years of drunken posts is a lot. Trust me when I say, you have been given close to a free ride here as far as being held accountable.

As for SIG and 1kiki, there are years of posts proving what SECOND is implying, and what G, myself and others here continue to reveal about them. Not that they are passionate about topics, and post that way. But instead how they lie and twist the truth, and what they are doing is trolling these threads.

I don't watch Fox and I don't listen to Rush or any of that bullshit either. Don't call it "my" right wing news. You'll notice I don't go around posting any links by them here either.

You might end up being right about Trump at the end of the day. I'm not tied to him. I voted for somebody the establishment on both sides didn't want, and I voted against somebody that I saw as purely an evil person in Clinton. Every day that passes it seems that the first half of that was a wasted effort on my part, but at least it seems the Clinton Dynasty is dead.

I don't only vote for Right wingers either. Now's the time to start bringing some sanity back to the Democratic party. Show me somebody I can believe in.
