Yes, good point. It's why I ignore such absurd scorekeeping.

Based on the post, what specific action(s) was promised?

"here comes eberly trying to deflect from the fact that the US can no longer be viewed as a reliable partner in world affairs. It's totally fine with eberly that we now have a psuedo-dictator who directs policy by whim."

But what constitutes the betrayal? A social media post?

If that post hadn't happened, would we be talking about betrayal?

of course not.

None of you would have anything to bitch about. After all....it was a social media post from Trump. Is there anybody left in the entire world who take that seriously? Of course not.

And why? Because none of you give a ---- about powerless Iranian protestors anyway.

You're only interest is US politics.

"no longer be viewed as a reliable partner in world affairs"??? really?

You can't possibly be serious.

Trump posted something on social media and now it appears he's not really going to do anything?

That's the betrayal?

Let's not pretend any of you give a crap about Iranian protestors.

Unfortunately, way too many of those faiths believe their way is above others. They have it figured out, and everyone else haven't.

You couldn't be more right.

I don't know how much of it materializes into how folks vote but I suspect it's significant.

and it's rooted in a religious faith....which means it's very hard to change those minds.

-Look at Beverly.

"Why do people have to resort to misogyny!!!"

-Speakstupid

-Why is your cult always thinking about gay sex?

On a thread where ---------- winds up being the only retort from at least 1 poster.

But the gay sex bothers you?

go sit in the corner where you belong.

"The only thing BullBringer, Clownshack, Alexandrite, Boazboy, Speakstupid, and the energizer bunny observed was an active thread and an opportunity to troll."

FT

-He always gets mixed up with the bulls and horses.

When Clown is screwing a bull......does mean the bull is gay also?

I have no trouble believing a detainee was choked to death by the guards. It's bound to happen. Happens every day.

-Who cares what YOU observed

the same people who care what you observe. nobody.

But since Alex tried to keep his own score.....it's fair game.

-You fascist idiot.

He's not a horse ------ like lft?

A detainee died?

probably at least 5,000 die a year while incarcerated in this country. Between Federal, state, and county jails? I wouldn't be surprised to hear it's closer to 10K.

I know.......this is different. LOL

-It's been fun reading everyone kick the Turds outta that horse ------.

I will admit I just got here and I'm going to enjoy reading this.....these are rare.

They didn't use to be....but they are now.

-I think it is absolutely bananas that people are protesting the US government enforcing US government policy.

Immigration has been polled and polled and polled. Candidates for office run on immigration and how they are gonna start enforcing our laws and implement a better system that provides a pathway to legal citizenship. Bring these folks out of the shadows, control who comes into our country, etc.....all the same stuff voters have wanted to hear.

And this has been going on forever.

Along comes Trump......the first guy in maybe 40 years who actually takes the issue seriously. Tries to build a wall, now he's ramped up an existing agency to unprecedented levels and is publicly sending them where he can gin up aggravation the most.

Are the immigration reform folks happy now? This is what you voted for.

Politicians for decades have pretty much known that voters will always say immigration reform is a very important issue to them......but they're full of ----. It's not that important.

Trump wasn't in on that....he thinks they were serious.

I think Chicken and broccoli is pretty healthy.

I eat it all the time.

-ICE is in Wichita Kansas as we speak. From a reliable source.

You're a Kansan. Where would you look for illegals?

Wichita? Nope....you know where they are...

-If NAFTA was SO bad for manufacturing, why did we create so many manufacturing jobs after NAFTA?

I welcome the opportunity to learn about that from the links you'll start providing to back that claim up.

That we "created so many manufacturing jobs after NAFTA"

and you won't be arguing with me....you'll be arguing with people......that you really can't argue with.

-Do you ever get tired of lying?

Do you ever get tired of crying like a ----- over this ----?

He was specifically referring to NAFTA and perhaps other trade deals Clinton signed that haven't been friendly to US labor.

There is no debate over that and there is plenty of data on it.

-Why do democrats hate working people?

For being MAGATs?

-But it wasn't Bob Doyle. It was Clinton

Doll, but yes, and GWB Sr. tag teamed on that.

Both parties participated in the offshoring of labor

Both parties had no choice but to get out of the way of technology/automation which has eliminated more jobs than offshoring.

Democrats have been much better at wages, worker protections, etc...but they can't keep the job in existence if it can be done elsewhere or by a machine.

Both parties agree free trade is essential and labor gets hammered with consequences.....been going on for a long time.

It's wrong for many reasons.

I would never talk like that to any president no matter what.....and my reason for that is that I respect the office.

But another real reason for that is because we trust the president to not return vulgarity juvenile crap like that in kind.

Trump tells him to ---- off and flips him the bird.

I guess that respect for the office is out the window.

Go Fund Me cracks me up sometimes.

I saw someone raise $10K because their cat died.

People are crazy.

-Trump found a way to piss off UAW workers but good.

They will still vote for the republicans on the ticket next time. State and Federal elections.
