Quote from: CNCAppsJames on December 19, 2025, 09:58 AMWe have countless hours of footage of college students behaving in a similar manner yet their behavior is not treated with the same derision that Trump's awful behavior is.

College Student are by and large still young and immature. Hopefully, somewhere between college and 80 years old, they will grow up.

Trump is 79 years old. Fingers crossed.

It's almost like we shouldn't elect a shitty behaving college student to the highest public office

It's hard to have inflation if you don't have any data?  :lol:

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Quote from: neurosis on December 19, 2025, 09:46 AMNow for the other question - would you raise your children (or grandchildren) to act the way that Trump does? 


That's a negative ghostrider.  Is Trump an Asshole, Yes.  Does he sometimes say things that he shouldn't, Yes.  Does he make IMHO great business decisions, Yes.  Is they,them,their,she,her,Cornstarch his priority? NO.
Is the economy recovering, Yes.

Most people vote for what they feel is their own best interests. That's not a secret.

I just find it hypocritical for people to pretend to be moral while defending immoral behavior.

Fair enough, but what is your definition of moral?  What has this administration done that is immoral other than Trumps loud mouth?

I mean why do I participate in these discussions, it's like a trainwreck, I just have to look lol.

Do you think cheating on your wife (wives) is immoral?

Do you think denying that you lost an election, and then committing acts that encouraged your (admittedly, not smart) followers to raid the Capitol to try and stop an election from being ratified is immoral?

Do you think travel bans that target certain ethnic minorities and religious groups is immoral?

Do you think using the office of the president to promote and profit from your own businesses is immoral?


These are all things that Trump has never done, but a president might do in the future. We need to set boundaries to keep these things from happening.

I keep seeing people say "I don't agree with some of the things he say's" but then call TDS when someone calls him out on it.

If you also think it's immoral, do you have TDS too?

I'll just pipe in that if what you have is "Situational Morality" then you are immoral. Same thing goes for ethics IMHO

The TDS isn't calling him out, that's absurd. 

The TDS is remaining silent during the Obama and Biden Administrations for the same behavior. Or nit-picking every single little thing even the stuff that is nothing about nothing. That's TDS, and there's some chronic scorching cases of it in here.

Same behavior? :lol:

I wasn't calling you out, If that was how itnsounded, my apologies. I was calling out the cheap seats... while you and I may disagree on a many things, I think we have fairly equal disdain for the clowns that have been holding the highest office since ~2009.

What the left cannot do to save their life is seperate policy from rhetoric. That process takes the genuine capacity to think and reason. The left is void of these skills.

I didn't take it as you singling me or calling me out, but I do get branded all the same. Sometimes probably for good reason. :lol:

So everyone who does not meet YOUR political standard of excellence is stupid? I beg to differ. There is plenty of stupid to go around.
