You can't handle the truth

Post by _aussieguy55 »

The job numbers under Obama continued to improve. Trump and other GOP figures said the numbers were being cooked. Now the job numbers are improving under Trump but no one is saying the Trump is cooking the books

The intelligence services said that the Russians were trying to interfere in the US elections but Trump supporters are saying it was the Ukrainians who interfered and were blaming the Russians.

Everyone belongs to a tribe and believe the stories put out by their leaders. I can't understand why Americans just try to find the truth and if uncomfortable for their side accept it.

I have watched your President this last two years and to be honest he comes accross as a liar and a dope. Gullible Evangelicals think he is the chosen one. His spiritual adviser Paula White is a three times married prosperity preacher. No wonder Macron and other leaders were laughing at him behind his back.

Yeah, that sure is an odd quirk of Americans of which no one else of any other nationality is guilty.

I don't hold to the idea that only Americans are defective in that matter.

Who can't handle the truth?

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

Oh good.

So why did you post this?

I can't understand why Americans just try to find the truth and if uncomfortable for their side accept it.

That sentence is pretty 'defective', but it's definitely about Americans in particular.

That is only because he chooses to speak in public and tweet multiple times daily. If he spent all his time playing golf and delegating the running of the government to his staff, the only criticism would be his lack of leadership.

Let's see how Justin Trudeau will be laughing when American drones fly over Ottawa. You can't laugh at a stable genius and not expect an upcoming military engagement.

So true--especially the third one.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

You're only saying that because Trump is a liar and a dope.

Trump is what you get when you're an idiot with a confidence born out of never having any responsibility in your life, and getting continuously bailed out every time you “F” up, which is regularly. He thinks he's brilliant, which is another sign of just how damned stupid he is.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

So stupid he thanked the first lady for doing the "Christmas" decorations at the Jewish hanukkah at the White House.
