Sort of how the supposed "fact checkers" operate. Instead of examining what was actually said, decide what you think it means and "fact check" that instead.Originally posted by Mountain Man View Post

I don't really want him to resign, or be impeached, for anything. I want him to run in 2020, as the head of the Republican ticket.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAt least not for that.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

My desire for Trump to remain in office and run for re-election is based on my expectation that a president with such low approval ratings, who has alienated so many groups, has almost no chance of being re-elected. I believe THAT is important so we can maintain a balance on SCOTUS. Right now, Republicans hold a trifecta at the federal level, and are close to skewing SCOTUS to the right as well. I do not believe that is healthy for our country. Because the mext most likely retirements on SCOTUS are liberal, my hope is that a democratic president in 2020 will preserve the current 4-1-4 balance of that court, and begin the process of restoring balance at the lower judicial levels, which are skewing badly to the right.
My fear is that the rebound will be so extreme that, by the end of 2020, everything will have shifted to the left, creating the opposite problem from what we have today. At that point, if that happens, I will be chearing on (and voting for) Republicans to try to restore something of a balance. I believe our government works best with a balance of views, and bi-partisan engagement between opposing viewpoints. That is missing today.
Much as I loath Mr. Trump, I believe we have to tolerate his immaturity and childishness until the next election cycle. Perhaps, in that process, we will learn something about electing people with an actual aptitude for the position.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

I sure hope so. Good points by the way.Originally posted by carpedm9587 View Post"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment.

Actually they are skewed badly to the left. But being badly skewed to the right is how they should be given that liberals shamelessly legislate from the bench to a far larger degree than conservatives. Of course you're a fake moderate, not a real one so that's actually a bug in the con you're trying to run.Originally posted by carpedm9587 View Post"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.

Demi, conservatives here probably don't appreciate the fact that a Russian propagandist is on their side. You're exposing them.Originally posted by demi-conservative View PostComment
