Look, if you think she's anything other than a bothering idiot, why would I disabuse you of the notion?

If she seems intelligent to you, then, well...

The inability to provide any logical argument supported by facts gives the Impression that you’re either a Trump cult member or simply misogynistic/racist (of course the two are not mutually exclusive).

You confuse inability for unwillingness.  You expect me to explain the obvious to you, for reasons unknown.  Perhaps you expect me to validate your self esteem.

To accuse me of being enthralled with our former president is as asinine as suggesting that race or gender has anything to do with my contempt for the vice president.

"You expect me to explain the obvious to you" - no, sorry but it is only obvious to you apparently.... hence why we ask for clarification with specifics please.

Is that 'obvious to you' as well?

You appear to expect me to credit you with a basic level of comprehension.  So far I don't.

Note: spell check doesn't like "blithering."

We expect a basic level of respect for others. So far you show very little. And you seem to be confused by the concept that disagreeing with you on policy does not equal incompetence. You have little to offer, which is why I rarely engage with you. But at least you will likely soon have a lot more to anger you after the election.

It’s kind of like the T-shirts about motorcycling and skydiving: “If I tried to explain it, you wouldn’t understand.”

She laughs and has a positive attitude. Only idiots who cannot see how bad things truly are based on history and the relative values of doubloons and marbles exhibit such behavior.

It is the dz.com case study on Trump's support being driven by allowing people to validate their often racist and/or misogynist opinions without evidence.

I'm not a real racist, I just play one on social media.

It's such an old trick to use, when you have nothing 

Ego the size of a planet, this one has.

"I've been to Yugoslavia and Germany and know more than anyone about those countries' problems"

"I've been on a boat in a storm, and I know more about those than YOU, random internet poster"

Then blocking anyone who dares question that.

etc etc...

For decades now there have been a whole series of dog whistles to allow people who are racist - but don't want to be seen as racist, or don't even realize they are racist - to communicate.

Going back to the 1950's, there was a time when being a racist was not a pejorative.  It was just something everyone "knew."  People just knew that blacks were shiftless, weren't as smart, tended to be criminals etc so why wouldn't you want to keep them from marrying white women?  It's just common sense!

Once Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X et al managed to get the idea out that being a racist was a bad thing, then it started behooving racists to claim they were really not racist at all, they were just exercising common sense.  "You see, I have nothing against blacks at all - perish the thought! - but they are simply suited to certain jobs by their biology, because of their ancestry in Africa.  It's just common sense!"

As forced integration started, and affirmative action took hold, this intensified - because a lot of people did not like being forced to see black people all the time.  Affirmative action became a curse word for conservatives.  But not because they were racist!  O no!  Because they felt that undeserving and unskilled blacks were being given a leg up over them.  But this required them to use the term "black" which exposed them to claims that they were, again, racist, because they were targeting a specific race.

So the racists of the time started using terms like "inner city types" to describe black people, so that they could not be labeled as racist.  "How can you claim I'm racist?  I NEVER MENTIONED race!  Not once!  You're the racist."

Today the preferred dog whistle is "DEI hire" - the latest way to say "black" without revealing your approach to race.

Hmmm...sounds like Trump, smarter than anyone in the world, about everything in the world.

Complete horse hockey by both.

At the convention in 98 was the first time I saw him. I asked someone who it was and the reply was, Oh, you don't know Windbag Knothead the third. A whole lot of years later and it seems not much has changed. People are still saying it. Not me mind you, I have nothing against those kind of people. I am just telling you that is what people are saying. If you need me to explain it to you, you are obviously too clueless to understand.

Damn near everything you post has to do with race, and none of it good. For someone who clearly chooses their words carefully, kinda have to assume that means something.

In fact, Trump has a leg up here.  He knows how to make the decision between electrocution by electric boat vs. death by shark.  And if you have never had to make that agonizing decision, you can just STFU!

Funny, but this is where you fall short of full imitation... they'd simply assume you've *never* had to make that agonizing decision because they, and only they, have any experience and knowledge. No ifs.

Who Boy, you fellers are gonna end up in the kill file with the rest of us unworthies, if'n there's room that is.

Trump must be in a good mood, his stock is doing great!

[SkyDekker 1,465]

Well, turns out a few of the Trump influencers were paid by Russia to spread disinformation to their millions of followers. Looks like it is Tim Pool and Benny Johnson both paid millions to spread the following. Sound familiar?

All those frequent right wing talking points we see so often parroted here, nothing more than Russian paid for disinformation.

Hi Mark,

The term is horse puckey.  You got that?

We will have a quiz next Friday, so get studying.

Where will Brent and Winsor get their talking points now?

At what point/colour does it become black face? 

Seems that Trump isn’t only trying to copy Harris campaign strategies, trying to look like her as well.

In my experience, you’ve never shied away from explaining things here in the past.
