President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[Shaka]

Are there any fans of Trump on this board? Maybe Shaka? Dabrockster doesn’t really seem to like Trump. Are there others?

I'm not a Trump fan. I didn't vote for him in the primary but I voted for him in the general. I agree with about 85% of what he does but hate his bedside manner. I'm just the punching bag for a couple of dopes on here.

I’m not saying this to pile on at all. But 85% agreement with a politician is fan level.

And we cannot rest until the Trump folks are adequately shamed and the board is ideologically pure. Amirite?

Yes, I'm right in there with Mitt Romney.

Shaka is sharing his convictions, and I doubt he’s going to let some internet rando make him feel ashamed for what he believes in. He said he agrees with Trump 85% of the time, and that sounds to me like he’s a supporter of him. If I have that wrong I’m happy to be corrected. If not, that’s fine also. We can all stand to have our opinions challenged.

The $1.776 (how clever!) Billion Anti-Weaponization Fund may be the most corrupt and unethical thing Trump has tried yet, although there’s a lot to choose from. The Fund would be a fun final exam question for a class on ethics and professional responsibility, and it’s obvious Todd Blanche would flunk it. Consider the following:

Blanche was Trump’s personal attorney for the porn star hush fund and documents retention cases (losing the former and ending the second after Trump’s Justice Department dismissed it). Despite Blanche’s poor performance, Trump made him the acting AG, so Blanche owes his career to him. Trump sues the IRS for $10 Billion because of a leak made by a non-IRS employee during Trump’s first reign. The leak released documents that would have been made public voluntarily by any of the previous eight presidents, and caused Trump no damage, but still, he thinks he deserves $10 Billion. And who defends the IRS, and indirectly the American taxpayers, against Trump’s absurd claim that would have had a nearly zero likelihood of success? Trump’s personal attorney, a conflict of interest that would make any mobster blush with embarrassment. And Blanche settles the case quickly, giving his benefactor the patriotic sum of $1.776 Billion, to be disbursed by Trump minions for the benefit of other Trump minions. And for good measure, as further payback to Trump, Blanche needlessly waives any claims the IRS has ever had, or may have, against Trump, his family, affiliates, friends, caddies, concubines, etc. Jaw-dropping.

Not only should this be thrown out, Blanche should be disbarred for overwhelming ethical violations and conflicts of interest. One wonders if Brooklyn Law Night School didn't include courses on ethics and professional responsibility, or perhaps Todd was snoozing, Trump’s attempts at grift and corruption are accelerating and expanding. This is both fascinating and depressing.

The $1.7B reparations fund for January 6 insurgents is going to go down as one of the biggest government scandals in US history. Really going out on a limb there, I realize, but go ahead and mark my words.

Preach!

85% is not fan level, nor is it "MAGA". You're wrong, and it would be nice to see you "stand corrected" rather than be "happy to be corrected".

In your point of view, I stand corrected.

In my POV, 85 percent agreement in our godforsaken pigeon-holed 2 political party system is more of a ‘fan’ than not.

FWIW, I know there’s a negative stereotype for self-proclaimed MAGA types. I don’t see you as the typical MAGA that enthusiastically supports Trump, if that’s what you’re pushing back against.

Holy shit, 85% but you don't like him? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You "hate" his beside manner, yet you agree with 85%. That just means you look the other way a whopping 15% of the time. "Not a Trump fan." I think everyone here likes you Shaka (me included - your sports posts are unrivaled). We just don't get why you obfuscate like this. Its like you hooking up with the same woman every night but claiming she's not your type. C'mon man, just be honest here.

Oh brother, Jeff. Its not about shaming. Its about being honest with people you have known for nearly 20 years. Don't shit on my shoes and tell me its fudge!

[Moliere]

So Shaka is the only trump guy on here? I can’t think of any other Trump fans.

What qualifies as a fan? I think we have folks here who voted for him 3 times.

It's amazing you highly intelligent people can't quite figure out that a lot of people vote on the platform rather than the individual. Bill Clinton should have taught you that.

Go ahead and believe all the shit Trump sells, of which you admittedly swallow 85%. Yeah, you are "not a Trump fan". Its amazing a smart person like you can't see that. You can vote on "platform", but you bought the President. You can't separate yourself from that. "I don't like the platform", well, there is no separating the platform from the person. How can you possible argue otherwise?

Shaka - answer this: Is Trump unwell right now? Right NOW. Not when you voted for him (3 times), but right now. The bruises, the falling asleep (e.g. can't even handle the job responsibilities), bruised hands, swollen ankles, not to mention the ridiculous commentshe sends out (going to send Iran to the Stone Age??). I'm and SURE you called out Biden's health - Trump is equally declining, his mental capabilities have declined at an incredible rate, he's building monuments to himself at a crazy rate while flailing about in Iran, but "I only agree with him 85%).

Yet, you only agree with him "85% of the time". I know you'll respond with a non sequitur (RIP) about how blah blah blah, nothing of consequence. You don't engage on the issues (other than flippant remarks). Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but if you are going to state them, at least engage like the rest of us and explain your position. I cannot think of a single time you have ever done that. And that is why I never take your opinions seriously. Because you don't even take them seriously.

I don't owe you an explanation. Up above, one of our other members was wondering if I'm the only one. I'm not, but they see how some of you choose to engage with me, and they choose not to engage at all.

Unfortunate.
