Yep - as could be predicted, the old "both sides" argument gets trotted out once again.

I know someone quite well known (but not very nice) who is very fond of using the "both sides" tactic.

SMDH. That's analgous to the people who say "Trump can't be racist, he's never said he's a racist" - like that's how things work. You know full well that your posts have leaned towards being an apologist at the very best.

I don't agree with my friends that support Trump, but at least they have the balls to admit it.

Woken them up to what?

A country that is riven with hatred and racism?

A country where the President seems to revel in such hatred and racism?

A country where the President seems hell bent on dividing its people until something REALLY dreadful happens?

No to the fact that America is not working for all and the government is out of touch

It took trump to make them realize that America is ‘not working for all’, seriously?

I suppose it could be said that trump has made it horribly clear just how appallingly divided it is, but I would suggest he has had a lot to do with making that far worse, rather than just exposing it.

Expectations were very low when he was elected but he has managed to do a far worse job than even I was expecting. Any hope he might reveal some of the corruption in DC has been somewhat overshadowed by the fact that he himself is the most corrupt by far. It’s been an absolute stshow from literally day one, with all the lies about the size of the inauguration crowd.

Lowering the bar by the day.

He seems to be getting ever closer to the real life version of Blackadder's George III.

More voting issues, where in this case votes appeared to be changed to Cruz, the official response is it's the voters fault because they aren't waiting for the page to fully render...

https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/10/26/reports-of-...
Reading the article even the democrats accept it is a machine problem that may be down to user error. They have asked for extra signs and training to avoid the issue and any machines that are genuinely faulty to be replaced.

Even they are not suggesting this is fraudulent as it has been reported that votes cast for both side appear to have changed. What they do about it now will be interesting if it is a close result.
Money was available but not spent, wasn't seen as an issue, yet the machines are so slow and troublesome that they can register votes wrong. Quite backward really for a supposed technically savy country.

If you cannot post one quote (which you clearly cannot, how many did you trawl though ?), please shut up.

Never swallow all the bait.

The one thing I will never do in an argument is tell someone to "shut up" - even if I disagree with almost everything they say.

Telling someone to shut up denotes to me an inability and unwillingness to discuss and, worse of all, a revelation that the protagonist has run out of discursive ammunition (if they ever possessed any in the first place).

I wouldn't credit him with that "accomplishment" at all. What he has done is failed to fix anything - as is his duty as President of ALL Americans - even those who did not vote for him. He seems to be absolutely unwilling to accept that.

Consequently, he is making the problems that affect US society far, far worse than they should be.

This is how it works.

Fox news host Lou Dobbs had a guest Chris Farrell, the head of Judicial Watch who said the migrant caravan is being funded/directed by the "Soros-occupied State Department".

https://twitter.com/i/status/1056324117329297409


House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted (later deleted) saying George Soros, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg are buying this year’s elections

Two GOP congressmen, Matt Gaetz and Louie Gohmert, both claimed that George Soros was funding the caravan

trump himself calls for violent action
https://twitter.com/i/status/1056410230987386880

He even posted images of Hillary’s face on piles of money with stars of David

Fox then spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories mere hours after 11 people were gunned down at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Synagogue shooter was clearly a commited anti-semite of long standing, but rampage was triggered by exactly this conspiracy theory, heavily pushed by trump and the GOP, that Soros and Jews are funding/directing the caravan.


This is what two years of trump has done. Deepend the divisions, the lack of trust, enpowered the worse parts of society.

Repeating a failed accusation requires it at times as there is a stop to the conversation until the accusation can be proven. Until that happens the (false) accuser should shut up.
