Pro Trump thread

While I don’t want to use a broad brush, unfortunately the Republican Party has been hijacked by the trump sycophants so the broad brush it is. 

I noticed an uptick in the use of the word "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" over the last few months. Apparently, this is another way the right attempts to denigrate the left.

Woah. I think this crosses the line. Calling someone a POS and a bad parent/grandparent is not cool.

I’m sorry, what? 😨😑

I’ve never killed a cop, or burned down a building, or ever acted in an unlawful manner. I understand you’re probably feeling defensive, especially with one particular comment made to you (that I don’t agree with) but broad-stroked accusations like this, are no better.

You're welcome, Belia.

This quote from Skellinton bears repeating and I hope keriwest will take it to heart:

“ The myopic view of voting to support the oil industry while the west coast is burning to the ground makes me sick.”

I mean REALLY. Do you care THAT LITTLE about your fellow Americans, wildlife, and the environment as a whole?

While you’re off being a “great mom and grandma,” you’re leaving behind a dangerous world for their descendants to live in.

Holy cow. You come back to peas after being away for years for this?!? Good riddance.

I said you're not well because of your habit of saying "leave me alone" and then quoting and tagging people repeatedly. Because you harass and harangue people and then play victim. I think you're a mean HUMAN. Period.

My only comment on your race has been to say that I think you're repeatedly horrible to others and that your race does not excuse it. You decided that my dislike of you is race based. Believe me when I say I think I'd find your attitude and treatment of others repugnant no matter your race.

Also, newsflash: every thread is not about you. You are just an antagonistic narcissist. I thought you weren't engaging me? This would lead me back to the first point I made.

Get therapy/don't get therapy, I really don't give a fuck. I just wish you'd leave me alone. And yup. I'm a SAHM and am happy you've updated your spreadsheet accordingly. Why on earth would anyone question your wellness? I mean, it's not like you target certain peas for harrassment or like you'd reveal anyone's personal information, right?

I think Keri west's attitude is repugnant. I don't think that makes her a POS or a poor parent/grandparent anymore than your repugnant attitude makes you a bad person. I think you're rude and unpleasant, but that doesn't mean I think you're a POS or a bad person 🤷‍♀️ I just don't like you and it bothers you that I don't run when you call me racist.

100% this!  This is what I have a hard time understanding.  I have a family member that is an environmentalist yet she is a Trump supporter.  Square that circle....because I can't!

No one called you racist. I just reminded you of how hypocritical your behavior is if I’m a mentally ill bitter Black woman who needs therapy keriwest is a POS grandmother. You were out of line if you think pinklady should have continued to talk double ovens instead of insulting her. That’s all. I’m sure you see it. 😜

Thank you for the response. I didn't realize this was at the AFL CIO event. Nothing was coming up under my search until I added that. Now that I changed my search parameters, I found a lot of links to the first video but not for the second. I don't see any real context for what was happening other than these two short snippets of video.

I guess I'm not exactly sure what is going on here. This was a virtual event, right? So we don't know how he was receiving the questions--was there a big video screen in front of him? Or is that what he is looking at that needs to be moved up? Did he have his staff listing numbers and resource materials that related to the questions so that he could give accurate answers? Or were they "fact-checking" the assumptions that the participants made in their questions? That isn't the same as "reading a prepared script" for the answer. It could be charts, graphs, talking points, etc.  Why leave it to chance that you incorrectly state a fact in your response when there is the ability to pull up accurate statistics? Good Lord, I wish Trump would fact-check things before he spoke!  

I haven't seen anything from AFL-CIO about prepared questions from the Biden campaign. Again, I'll be happy to look at those if there are articles, but I didn't see any when I searched earlier. I do know that sometimes you have to get your own questions pre-approved by the event sponsor, so that could be what happened with the woman in the second video. For instance, my DD was at state 4-H camp one year when a Republican legislator was a guest. They opened the floor to questions from the campers (ages 15-21, I believe). To be allowed to ask your question, you had to submit your question to the organizers (the State 4-H Council in this case) and be granted permission to speak during the event. They signed off on the question, and when it was your turn to speak, you read your pre-approved question.

I have had the same experience asking questions at a school board campaign event--a sort of town-hall setup. We had to get our questions pre-approved to get on the list of persons who got to ask questions.

In both of these situations, it is more about keeping order and not having repetitive questions. It also forces the person asking the question to write the question in a coherent manner that allows a fair answer, i.e. no "gotchas." When an organization is sponsoring an event like this, they do have an interest in not making a scene by having someone come to the podium to attack the candidate or guest speaker or to take the chance to promote an agenda unrelated to the topic at hand.

I guess I'll wait until I hear more about this, but I am not going to assume that Biden was fed the questions in advance without more information since there are other plausible explanations. And so far, the only traction I see on this story is twitter, and many of those are quoting him as saying "move the teleprompter up here" when his actual words were "let's move it up here." We don't see the context of anything his staff said before they cut to this video, so was there a conversation about "moving along" with the event, i.e. speeding up the pace? One FOX reporter said the ONLY thing he could be talking about is a teleprompter--that's a big stretch given the brief video evidence.

Actually MichyM, I responded to a Pro Trump thread after all these years because I wanted to, only to be called a POS and to be told that because I support the oil industry I couldn't possibly care about my fellow Americans. The thread didn't ask you to get involved...clearly you're not Pro Trump.

The accusations thrown at me (and other Trump supporters) are vile and hateful and as ridiculous as my statement above about "you" "burning down buildings, screaming in the faces of people you don't even know, killing cops...".

But y'all go on with badgering anyone who thinks differently than you. Maybe you do scream in the faces of people you don't even know because they won't throw up their hitler hand in solidarity with you... I mean we're pretty damn sure it's not republicans pulling that crap.

"Hitler hands?" 😂😂

What in the actual fuck.

I'm pretty sure it was those "very fine people" your president courts that were throwing up "Hitler hands". You know, the people outfitted in SS regalia and chanting actual Nazi slogans that seem to show up at every Trump rally?

And the people on the other side of the fascists, the anti-fascists, if you will, were the ones opposing them.

I do not think you are a POS, but I don't think you have a great deal of empathy or concern for anyone who isn't part of your family or who doesn't look like you.

And you're wrong inkedup to continue to make assumptions about me or anyone else who doesn't believe the same way as you. Just because you think you're right does not make it so.
