I agree mainstream media and democrats' rhetoric about Trump being a fascist or even second coming of Hitler has been wrong and damaging to our country. I said that in a post here just the other day. I expect it to be greatly reduced now.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

This is an unmitigated disaster for the democrats. Jesus, the New Yorker is comparing Trump's fist pumping shot with the flag and a blue sky above his head to the Iwo Jima memorial. (It's the first thing I, a great fan of the Iwo Jima, thought of.)
In contrast, look at Biden.

Literally none one here is saying or expecting that. His reaction is the perfect window to his psyche. Nothing more, nothing less. In fact we're being somewhat charitable to him. I know I'm not expecting him to think things through when he gets shot. Trump is who he is, he's going to react the way we expect him to, and his audience will do likewise.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostLol. The guy literally got shot in the head a few seconds prior. He had blood running down his face.

You guys are hilarious.
I don't know why you keep thinking I'm saying anything more than this."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

No. This is not you agreeing with me.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post
I agree with you. Our brains wouldn't have the bandwidth. That's him defaulting to him being him.
I would explain it further, but YO would call me out for being pedantic and annoying.

Either way, you are judging a guy for an emotional reaction to being shot in the head. If you can't see how absurd that is, I give up.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post

Yeah, I genuinely don't get it. I never inferred he was orchestrating a planned response but that it just happened. I viewed it as automatic.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Ah man I was going to reference YO's pedantic post if you replied again! Honest, I was just thinking about it in the shower. Can I get at least some credit?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

I don't know, fellas. That was pretty badass to hop up and shake his fist to the sky. Not only did he show fight, vigor, and determination in the face of danger he also dispelled any notion that he's Hitler because he didn't do that kind of salute.

Attached Files"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
