Geeeees, Don, I used that link, it popped up with something about 57 states,
The extra ones could have been
1. The State of Confusion. 2. The State of Superiority 3. The State of Arrogance. 4. The State of Racial Divide 5. The State of My Way or Highway. 6. The State of Illusion. 7. The State of Confusion. So maybe for Obama , there were 57 States.
seriously? That's what you've got? Obama misspoke about the US having 57 states? We've all said stupid stuff like that. Trump spews word salad daily, including such classics as covfefe, hamburders, and liddle'. Obama,,,Are you smarter than a fifth grader?? Apparently not!!

I remember the attacks on Obama - Michelle for having the bad taste to wear shorts on the Presidential helicopter, coming back from Camp David. Obama played too much golf (yeah, that's a real joke now that Trump beat him hands down, even before the end of his first term), Obama failing to properly salute a soldier, Michelle for wearing sleeveless dresses so often.
I would love to go back to those kinds of horrible offenses. Bring it on.
My Point exactly, I don't recall a member of Congress calling Obama a M*****F**ER! as little example.
I agree, since there is no evidence that Trump f***ed his mother. "Wannabee Daughterf***er" would've been much more accurate.

Since Obama has come up here, here is a little story about one of my ex customers. Young man, hard core democrat, was picking up non profitable businesses, for nothing more than taking over the leases. I told him I think you are making a big mistake ,, you need to step back take a better look at what you are doing. He didn't. He said that he knew now that Obama was just elected , the economy was going to come roaring back,, (His words) He was going to make a fortune!! I fired him for not paying my bill.. Life is wonderful when you can fire customers , and get away with it.
Hmmm, Guess who is still in business and who is not?
I have enough money, put away I don't need to sell you something to pad my pocket,
If I give you business advise or other advise ,it is for your benefit not mine. If you fail to listen to my advise, I will let you suffer the consciences! I have been in this business for 47 years now. I have some experience.

Took me about 20 seconds to find it referred to as a way to control African Americans post emancipation. That good enough for you? That’s quite slow if you’re entering ‘black’, ‘lynch’ and ‘definition’ as the keywords. Why aren’t you mentioning the specific dictionary? The oxford and Cambridge ones don’t mention the racial historical context. Whilst we’re at it, is the expression ‘lynch mob’ also necessarily racist? Or just ‘lynching’? I’m guessing that it’s only critics of Trump who see this as ‘dog whistle’ racism. Members here use sites like Yahoo and Google as well as left wing rags or right wing rags for their definitions of terms. I am not sure if anyone uses Oxford or Cambridge for definitions here. It does not fit either the right or the left's definition to further our arguments..... I do appreciate your efforts though

I truly was not on this forum. How did you find us? Deadeyedick, Notice how many liberals are confused why someone from outside the western Hemisphere would post here. Everyone is googling words/names/phrases right now to publicly expose you as a right wing nut. Why is everyone questioning a new member from Australia on who is he and why are you here? He does not fit their politics and do not want a reasonable discussion to actually break out here. Moon encourages members to make posters feel welcome here, but when a poster does not fit the mold, let's find out who it is and discourage their presence....... Do like I did and ask the question(s) on his introduction thread rather than in a middle of a discussion. Just sayin......... My first impression from his name? Thought of Richard Nixon right off the bat. Yeh, crazy but it was first impression. 2ND thought was a board monitor from the old MSN board that monitored the old politics discussion board. But since he says he is from Australia, we have to accept him as a legitimate poster and not a Russian bot

your gloating is not well taken.
but to the point: the economy did pretty well under Obama, and has continued doing well under Trump. the success of a business has practically nothing to do with who is president, and you know that.
and you don't "fire" customers as the term is commonly understood.

I do appreciate your efforts though I simply googled 'lynching' and easily found reference to the historical meaning. Who couldn't with a keyboard and 20 seconds.

I see no "confusion" and the only questioning I saw was how did Dick find the site. Initially someone thought he had been here before. We have had numerous Dick's post here. Simmer down.

But since he says he is from Australia, we have to accept him as a legitimate poster and not a Russian bot I truly don’t mind, and they’re not being rude. They’re just reflecting the polarisation which seems to be very profound at the moment, as am I. I’m well aware of Trump’s numerous faults but I feel that his strengths outweigh his weaknesses and these strengths are unique for a mainstream politician. So just as his critics are strongly dismayed by him, so too are his supporters strongly defending him as we feel that one like him may not arrive again, particularly at a time where we feel that he is needed. Plus I’ve spent several years at another politics forum, busier than this one (although this is brisk enough) which is much more aggressive. This is nothing. I don’t wish to divulge where that is, but it’s not here. I never knew of this place. I’m still at the other place, it just got a little stale. Same old discourse. It’s not too different to here, only there is a stronger conservative representation.

Didn't Biden use the words Lynching, lynch mob back in 98. There was another congress man back then used it also I'll have to look it up when I get some more time. These words are more of a democrat vocabulary that's way they are all pissy

Hardly even a comparison. Melania being a nude model before she was first lady. It's not like they are porn. As far as being a classy first lady Melania beats Michelle hands down

Soft porn - the kind where naked women kiss each other, stuff like that. Go to your favorite porn site and check it out. Check out Michelle there while you're there - oh, well, Michelle never was 'classy' enough to do porn, was she?

What did Mrs. Obama do that wasn't classy? Compare the way they dress, talk, demeanor Michelle can't even compare what's wrong with the way she talks? She's an Ivy League educated attorney and former hospital administrator. I think she is very well spoken. She also dresses professionally. I don't get what you mean by demeanor. She did what she was supposed to do. What about her demeanor is unprofessional?

I think so pro Trumpers like the fact that Melania dresses like a model and stays in the background hardly ever saying anything. Maybe its nostalgia for the 1950s and mail order brides.

That proves you are a never Trumper then. Obama was so sophisticated he was about to send you to war with Russia at the behest of Qatar. Despite all of Trump’s achievements, he could have nothing and still be superior to the guy who sends you to war with Russia. Really now. What RW "news" site did that gem come from? Trump has been far closer to going to war with North Korea than your very odd Obama story.

Regardless of who is president, there will always be attacks from the opposing side, but I like to think it would go back to the level of the pre-Trump era. No other President in living memory has wielded hate and fear to such an extent to both mobilize his supporters and enrage his opponents, especially with the raw, root-level access that social media now provides. So I hope that in this regard, Trump is an anomaly, lessons will be learned and future Presidents will be more...presidential. A third option from what you mentioned is that Trump is impeached and then removed from office, we get President Pence for a bit, then the GOP finds a new candidate for 2020, and if they win, so be it. If Trump is impeached (which I Don't think will happen) Pence will become the next whipping boy, condemning him over his religious beliefs. Trump should be impeached for his illegal actions. It is his own fault for acting above the law and being a thug. He has no one to blame but himself. Yes people still do not like Pence's religious beliefs, so no surprise there. All Presidents get some shit.

Time will tell, deadeyedick of Australia. Just like it did when he wasn’t supposed to be the Republican candidate, wasn’t going to debate Hillary after the p*ssy audio, wasn’t supposed to be President, wasn’t supposed to last a year. Am I right to assume that you didn’t think he would get this far? Why are you trying to pick an argument based on these false beliefs? Its an even odder given you say you haven't been here before. But lets look at your statements. First, he was a Republican candidate the minute he joined the race and registered himself as a Republican. So no supposed to on that. Did many hope on all sides of the political spectrum he would not win the bake-off? Yes. The debate shit, where in the heck did you get that from? Is it right that I personally didn't assume he'd get this far. No. Not at all, it was always possible and became very likely once Comey had premature email speak 10 days before the election.

Since Obama has come up here, here is a little story about one of my ex customers. Young man, hard core democrat, was picking up non profitable businesses, for nothing more than taking over the leases. I told him I think you are making a big mistake ,, you need to step back take a better look at what you are doing. He didn't. He said that he knew now that Obama was just elected , the economy was going to come roaring back,, (His words) He was going to make a fortune!! I fired him for not paying my bill.. Life is wonderful when you can fire customers , and get away with it.
Hmmm, Guess who is still in business and who is not?
I have enough money, put away I don't need to sell you something to pad my pocket,
If I give you business advise or other advise ,it is for your benefit not mine. If you fail to listen to my advise, I will let you suffer the consciences! I have been in this business for 47 years now. I have some experience.
I have always had a problem with those who toot their own horn...guess thats one of many reasons I have had a hard time with the Donald. Not saying it's wrong...just that I have a problem with it..
