It reminds of a poster on the old boards, purporting to be a lawyer, who explained to me that case law is based on precedence. "Unpresidented" is... pretty bad. I don't quite understand how people can misspell words like this anymore. If it was an actual word like "unrepresented", he could blame autocorrect, but "unpresidented" flat out doesn't exist. He'd have to disable a lot of settings to type it anywhere on a phone or a web browser without it being clearly flagged as a typo. I don't think he has. Since this is routine for him, one wonders what kind of man ignores the big red lines under the words he's about to send to an audience of millions. To add insult to injury, the Chinese are playing hardball because of his phone call with the Taiwanese. It's a critical time to assure the world he has some clue of what he's doing. ...Noticing red flags on his words. ...Noticing red flags in the South China Sea. (Sorry, Green Eyed Lady. The Trump thumpers win this round, IMO. ![](http://images.proboards.com/new/undecided.png) )

a bully who got rich defrauding others, a misognyistic who openly cheated on his multiple wives and has made unseemly comments about his own daughter, a xenophobic who has declared he will deport American citizens of the wrong religion a man who mocks, in front of TV cameras, the disabled an unstable person who lurches from one position to another because he has no grounded beliefs of his own because he's going to turn the clock back 50 (or more) years It's "misogynistic", not "misognyistic". But even that's an error since the noun is "misogynist". Also, "xenophobe". If you're going start a thread critical of the man's writing ethic...

Not sure I'd take that trade, myself. I think I'd rather it was the other way around.

Ms. Clinton's public statements are checked, rechecked, vetted for concision and erudition, focus group tested, rechecked a third time, and simulcast for optimal exposure and penetration. The production is a professional masterpiece from start to finish. Now all she has to do is tweet something that isn't a lie or sanitized to near-meaninglessness and she'll have achieved that presidential mien. (You were damned either way. Regrettable but true.)

Seriously, never was. A German Professor at my school got into a fight with another Professor that voted third party (personally, think it was bullocks he got mad at him for third party) but he's furious because he said that he's been studying the effects, his parents were part of the holocaust and that how can the Americans not see the signs that were going back in time...that history is repeating itself. Like the man's been studying World War 2, the Holocaust, Hitler, how it all started for basically his entire life and he's terrified right now for the United States. Among other reasons, not just those alone. -- But the fight was kind of crazy :'x was very out of place as it was in the middle of the hallway where everyone can hear and see and so much shouting. >.> -- I know a lot of Republicans as well, even people that voted for him that think his twitter posts need to stop and believe he needs to stop with the sexist, and racial slurs, because they do believe it's not okay for a President to do so. They merely voted for him because they trusted Clinton less, but they still want him to stop being such a disgusting pig. -- Yes, ordinary people can say some of the things he says... but to be honest... A President SHOULD always be held to a higher standard. The stuff that comes out of his mouth shouldn't as a President. Which Bullocks? Was Sandra Bullock one of the bullocks involved? I like her, she's pretty! *sorry... couldn't help myself. wasn't a spelling mistake either. that's exactly what i meant, man! haha but i like her too
