I assumed he was talking about decorum. Trump can be a d*** to people in private all he wants and it wouldn’t have much or an effect on the country. But he’s a d*** to everyone publicly. I’m not sure which harms us the most, his behavior toward our allies, or the press, or the CIA/FBI/etc. 1 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It's not that Trump is a dick to other people, it's that he makes big decisions based solely on threats to his ego, which now come from everywhere. He is precisely the guy you don't want in a position of power. Also, he's an idiot. 3 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 A prime example of how Bush was so different than the idiot we have now. I heard an interview this morning from a top aid that was with him for most of his public life. He told of when the Berlin wall came down. Bush called a meeting and told everyone explicitly, not to boast about it. Don't go to the media bragging about it...etc. Be dignified and ultimately, it will help build a better relationship with Russia in the aftermath. Wow....what a difference we have now.

ZRod Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I watched a documentary on Netflix this weekend called Evil Genius. It's a pretty f#&%ed up and disturbing show based on the murder of Brian Wells, the so called Pizza Bomber. I couldn't help but think the whole time I was watching that one of the main conspirators, Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, has a personality that was strikingly similar to Trump's. Depending on what psychiatrist she was seeing she had a range of mental disorders, from narcissism to bi-polar disorder. Everyone was out to frame her, she constantly let everyone know how much smarter she was than others, she could never tell the truth, and she threatened to sue anyone who she felt wronged her. It was kind of funny how similar they we're, if it wasn't so damn sad. 1 Link to comment
commando Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 i wonder how fox news and rush would have covered this story if it had been an antifa patch? if they cover it now they will call him the victim of the extreme left liberal crazies. edit to add....the hammer and sickle patch just above and to the left in this picture is said to be an oath keepers patch. not sure if true but none of the others have that patch that i can see so not part of regulation uniform at least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_Keepers Link to comment

Wow....what a difference we have now. yes, that is amazing. That is also a demonstration of why I rant against Trump. Let's say Trump's policies were everything I desired (they aren't by the way), I'd still rant against the guy because he is rude, childish, a media hound, wt the narcissistic personality disorder that is so un-presidential. 41 was a class act, 45 is a class clown. 2 1 Link to comment

There need to be more people who try to lead the GOP with these values or they'll continue to actively cheapen and harm our political system moving forward. I saw this video earlier and thought that he is the anti-trump for sure. Amazing how Trump has corrupted the GOP of today. Link to comment

Amazing how Trump has corrupted the GOP of today. the forces that gave us trump have long been trying to take over the republican party. i remember seeing a quote from bush talking about how the far right would destroy the republican party if they ever succeeded in taking over. to many of us didn't take the warning seriously. and here we are. 1 Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 In fairness, George H.W. Bush had a longstanding mistress and was a notorious groper and grabass of young women who took photos with him. But at least he added the amusing pun "David Cop-a-feel" when doing so. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-george-hw-bush-groping-20171027-story.html Link to comment

He isn't a womanizer. That makes the womanizers look worse than they are. He's an adulterer, and possibly a sexual assaulter. Unless I don't understand the word, womanizers aren't committing adultery by default, and they definitely don't sexually assault by default. 1 Link to comment

Womanizing is having several casual sexual encounters with many women. And it's possible to be both a womanizer and adulterer. Link to comment
