Yeah - I'm not surprised that you don't get it.

Anyway - In your post upthread, you quoted me calling someone a bozo (I didn't say that). I'm more than happy to assume it was a simple mistake on your end (no worries) but I would appreciate you fixing it.

Thanks in advance.


So, now you’re a liar too? (Scroll down to your January 2nd post if it doesn’t load directly)

If we were living in a normal world, all of this would be true. But we're living in a time when Trump could break into a Trump supporter's house and sodomize him on live TV and the Trump supporter would recite the Republican Party talking points that justify the sodomy. There is no way the Republican Party will cooperate with this investigation. I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, as much as one could hope something as blatant as this would move the needle, I can't help but be well-numbed to what Trump's base will accept. There is nothing I can imagine will turn them off.

Base's reaction: goats are leeches to the system... they should give something back... way to go, Trump.

January 2nd of 2018? LOL!

Liar? No - I guess I just assumed that the quote was from this thread - My bad. I never imagined that you were desperately searching all my posts from 21 months ago to try and make a point. LOL!!!!!!

Desperately? All I did was click on the search feature, paste your handle into the ‘author’ field, and then type ‘bozo’ into the search field because I recalled you calling EA a bozo. Voila. Your hypocrisy on display about the nature of political discussions on this board.

So. Now that we’ve established you’re a liar, why don’t you explain why Biden’s campaign is over now that the whistleblower complaint has been made public?

Nonetheless, these results came two days before the release of the whistleblower complaint, which alleges that Trump abused his office to solicit foreign assistance in the 2020 election. Those accusations could compel more Americans to back impeachment.


Yeah - But if the american people end up determining that this was not about the upcoming 2020 election - and was about a request for help in finally getting to the bottom of the foreign interference in the previous 2016 election - then that potential determination could compel less Americans to back impeachment.

Did you think of that possibility yourself, or does it come from some media source to which you can link?

This is what turns into a carnival fun-house, trying to imagine how Trump's base interprets hearing him condemn the people reporting this issue. The base has to rationalize it somehow. Are they actually taking him at face value, that we should "do something about spies"? What do they think that something is? Do they spend their time thinking about that to distract themselves from the tacit admission that he's guilty?

It's the most spectacular mystery of my life: how do this many people go about justifying Trump support? It makes me realize just how many people are damned strange.

I "thought of that possibility" by reading the phone call transcript. Specifically the section where Trump asks for the favor: (pasted below)

Trump: I would like you to do us a favour though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike ... I guess you have one of your wealthy people ... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you are surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible.

My guess, about 70% of rational and reasonable American citizens could "actually be that gawddamned stupid."
