Trump Being Lynched?

[seer]

I"Liberals: Bad! Conservatives: Good! "

Works for me!

[Jim B.]

Nope, I'm as pure as the driven snow!

Well, I wasn't referring to you individually, but to the right and the left. Why is practically every thread you start the same thing, ie the libs are bad, really bad, and we conservatives are really good? If it makes you feel better, then more power to you, I guess, but to those outside your particular belief system, it comes across as a form of "self-soothing," kind of like Trump's bragging. And I know, before you get a chance to say it, libs do it too!

I rest my fingers.

It's become about 'hypocrisy', not by my doing, BTW. This is the common theme that most of these threads devolve into: the profound political analysis that can be summed up into: "Liberals: Bad! Conservatives: Good!

I've been pretty consistent, Jim, that I think BOTH sides stink out loud. That's why I left the Republican Party long ago, and am a registered Independent.

Earlier you had said...

You guys are probably convinced that all the blame and all the evil lie on one side though.

I think there's plenty of hypocrisy and blame to go around, and - no - I don't think all the "blame and all the evil" lie on one side.

And so the charge of "unamericanism" is my example of the right's "hypocrisy."

I'm sure there are some things that ARE "unamerican", like stifling free speech, so I'd have to see the specific circumstances. Again, feel free to start a thread on that.

It's not that long of a thread! Good to see you too, CP! How's it hangin'?

If it were any better, I'd be twins!

That's great. I guess I must keep missing all the places where you say things like that.

Again, the unamericanism was germane to the hypocrisy tangent which I did not start. If you're gonna police the relevance to the OP, I suggest you start there.

Basically, it's when another poster says dumb stuff like "you're a Trump supporter defending him at every turn" just because I did, in fact, vote for him way back when.

I just recently criticized Trump for his policy with the Kurds, so I don't march in lock step. And if you don't think that 50 million dead unborn children is evil Jim, I don't know what to say. What could possibly be more evil?

Why are all the libs upset because Trump said he was being lynched?

Because they are trying to appeal to the under-40 crowd, who are largely ignoramuses who believe the term, "lynching" arose long, long ago, in the 1960s in the South, in references to atrocities committed against "negroes" (which I believe was the PC term at the time).

Why are all the libs upset because Trump said he was being lynched?

Because having a legal trial to determine whether someone is guilty or innocent and determining the proper punishment for that offense is the exact opposite of a lynching.
Here are some definitions for you:
Lynch: an extrajudicial execution carried out by a mob, often by hanging or other ways of execution
Impeachment: a proceeding instituted against a public official by a legislative body.

Why are all of the Trump sycophants upset that there is a legal investigation into wrongdoing by the president?

So when the Democrats were calling Clinton's impeachment a lynching did that bother you too? Or is your outrage selective?

A Legal proceeding can’t be, in essence, a lynch mob, trying to add an air of respectability to their desire to hang someone, for a crime they didn’t commit? Interesting.

I just KNEW down deep inside you were a NeverTrumper!

A closet NeverTrumper! And I didn't like the way he treated Gen. Kelly & Mattis.

Let's just ASSUME Trump didn't commit any crimes and execute anyone who even believes he MIGHT have.
OR....Let's have an investigation to find out what happened.

Which would you rather do?

No. I was for impeaching Bill Clinton, that wasn't a lynching either.
Don't you think that it is extremely hypocritical to be all in favor of impeaching Bill Clinton while condemning everyone who is in favor of an investigation of Trump?
Or is YOUR outrage selective?
