You underestimate Trump's ability to stretch (the truth). To him, everything is a win. He was right that Moore was not the best candidate. He was right again when it looked like Moore would win. And he was right for the third time when Moore didn't win. That's not a win by any stretch. If Trump is defeated in 2020, he'll use the Bart Simpson Defence: "I could have been re-elected but I didn't wanna."

Both Joe Biden and John McCain are class acts in my book. We need more leaders like them.

7.He is giving Miranda rights to captured terrorists.
Just out of curiosity, is that supposed to be a bad thing?An honest discussion is more of a peer review than a pep rally. My toughest critics here are the people who agree with me. -- ringo

Security clearance is kind of a moot point when the President himself blabbers everything he knows on Twitter. The scary part is that the Kush has been sitting in on the most sensitive briefings (e.g. the President's daily briefing) without that top clearance.An honest discussion is more of a peer review than a pep rally.

To be fair, we do like to take credit for it. It's even possible Canadians served in the British unit that burned the White House, though who knows.An honest discussion is more of a peer review than a pep rally. My toughest critics here are the people who agree with me. -- ringo

The US has a gun lobby; we have a milk lobby. ... how is it that Canada is slapping such enormous markups on imports from its NAFTA partners...? Supply management in the dairy industry is designed to stabilize the supply of milk in Canada and ensure a fair price for the producers without direct subsidies. My impression is that the policy exists largely to appease Quebec. By the way:

"Free trade Agreement" is an oxymoron. If you have to agree on what isn't free, it isn't free. In Europe we have a European Free Trade Area; within which there are almost no duties - that's kind of the point. Clearly NAFTA is not the same thing.An honest discussion is more of a peer review than a pep rally. My toughest critics here are the people who agree with me. -- ringo

When Brian Mulroney was Prime Minister of Canada, an acquaintance of mine complained that he was off on some international conference when he should have been here running the country. I said, "As far as I'm concerned, the farther away he is the better off the country is." It may well be that Trump simply stops coming. This time he arrived late, missed a bunch of stuff on purpose, and then left early. Ditto Trump. Let him stay in his playpen diddling his tweeter.And our geese will blot out the sun.

I'd rephrase that question as, "Is he a smart crook or an honest fool?" My policy is that if somebody wants to be seen as an honest fool, I take his word for it. Do you mean he pretends to be a Christian and is really not, or do you mean he has something tricky up his sleeve, for a non-Christian act he plans to do in the future? In Trump's case, I think he's every bit as honest a Christian as the Christians who support him.And our geese will blot out the sun.

I think you can. Generally speaking, Americans are idiots or they wouldn't have elected Trump. There are certainly a lot of Americans who aren't idiots but there are enough to make the generalization kinda valid. My point is that you cannot generalize.And our geese will blot out the sun.

What about the people who didn't vote at all? If Clinton get a few more votes than Trump, she still didn't get a majority of the eligible voters. Be fair Ringo. Clinton got more votes than Trump.And our geese will blot out the sun.

More importantly, most didn't vote against him. The only thing we have to do for evil to prevail is nothing. Most voters did not vote for Trump.And our geese will blot out the sun.

And still is. He could be scoring all kinds of points off of Trump's stupidity but that isn't the way a real President behaves. Obama reacted with total class.And our geese will blot out the sun.

Why would "we" want him to do that? Why wouldn't "we" want him to do what the President is supposed to do - e.g. stand up for our allies and get tough with our enemies? He's doing what we want him to do, point out when the media are over the line. Edited by ringo, : Fixed quote misattributed to Phat.And our geese will blot out the sun.
