In all serious, imagine the heads exploding if Trump ever said something like that.

Please explain why you do not view the statements outlined in OP as a serious problem.

Will you admit to error or blast off again only to return next week, with yet another plan to ‘get Trump’?
I heard the entire context of the CIA comment, so it is not a possible outcome for #1. He said what he said.
And the reality is, the parts heard on the other don't lend themselves to another conclusion either - especially since he already showed he would do it in 2016. He's just making it official that is his actual policy. And tossing out another request for help like he did in 2016.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI wouldn't call it that, though it's the same basic mechanism. People start Trumps presdency willing to excuse x. And for those that are not willing to accept that much compromise x is already too much. But Trump keeps pushing that envelope, and the Trump supporter keep saying " well that isn't THAT much worse than what I've already said I support", or they just continue to believe somehow the next increment is just 'taken out of context'. Either way the support for Trump just keeps digging deeper and deeper into what the person normally would never support. And here we are - a president who would interfere with intelligence gathering processes in favor of our enemies, and a president that is willing to publicly declare he will violate his responsibility to report foreign contacts if contacted with dirt on opponents that he can use to help win the 2020 election - as well as a promise to use it. And 4 pages on of defense of that from his 'followers'.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostSorry, but having a conversation with you, about Trump, is impossible. It’s like trying to have a conversation with Jorge about evolution or a conversation about cosmology with JM. It’s pointless because you already know the truth and anyone who disagrees is stupid, immoral, corrupt, or all the above. That’s why I don’t bother and just instead ask you what you’ll do once the rake smacks you in the face, yet again.
What else does "I would listen" mean when asked what he would do if foreign operatives came to him with dirt on an opponent? And what in the world would his comments about calling the FBI mean except that he thinks its a dumb idea and he wouldn't do it. I mean - he called out Wray when Wray said it was the responsibility of any candidate to call the FBI in a situation like that, saying Wray was wrong!
This is not rocket science pix. But it is disturbing if you are committed to supporting trump and have any reasonable version of a conscience.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostOn the contrary. You feel that way because you can't accept the truth about what trump is saying in this instance. It isn't that hard Pix. He said quite clearly that the use of Kin Jong Un's brother as an asset by the CIA "would not happen on my watch". IOW, Trump would make sure the CIA was not allowed to do that. There you go.

1. Media throws a fit about something Trump said or did.
2. Media steps on rake as the truth comes out.
3. Media denies they ever stepped on rake.
4. Repeat.
It’s pointless even bothering because as had already been shown, you’re incapable of having any sort of rational conversation about Trump because you’re TDS prevents you from doing so. I’ll wait for the full story to come out, but as I already suspect, the rake is about to hit you in the face and you’ll deny it ever happened as you switch to a new story without ever acknowledging the previous one was false to begin with."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
