@Finn dAbuzz,

Quote:I think you're a very smart man Finn. That's why I believe that for you to actually see any equivalence in the negatives of those two men is either the result of a cognitive dissonance bordering on schizophrenia, or just a plain old lie you're trying to pass off as your honest opinion.
Finn:
A truly childish response.
Snood:
Quote:Obama, for whatever mistakes he made or conflicts one might have with his politics, is an obviously decent man who conducts himself honorably and tried to act in the best interest of Americans.
Finn:
Quote:By all indications, Obama is an excellent husband and father. That is all I know about his "decency." He wouldn't have been the first indecent man to hide behind a public persona, but this is immaterial. I care less about the "decency" of a president than how they perform.
Np, Finn - decency is not "immaterial". We call our politicians liars or adulterers or embezzlers when they are, because it matters. Trump is a perverted, lying, self-seeking son of a bitch. And it shows. And it matters.
Finn:
Quote:Trump has personality flaws and so did Clinton, Nixon, Truman, FDR, Wilson etc etc etc. The difference between him and other presidents is that he doesn't have the good political sense to keep them hidden.
He doesn't keep them hidden because he has never been held accountable for any of his wretchedness or incompetence. Because of people like you who will find a way to somehow rationalize any nasty thing he says or does until the rest of us are supposed to think it approximates normal behavior for a president.
Quote:When asked, in one of the debates, what she admired in Trump, HRC answered the job he had done raising his children. I don't know if you have kids, but I can tell you that thoroughly indecent monsters don't raise well adjusted and loyal kids.
Well, she
had to say
something, didn't she?
By all indications, Trumps's a selfish insensitive jerk who's raised a bunch of entitled, clueless jerks. I think that hunting big game for trophies is an indication of the boys' values and I think that for all her high-sounding non-words (like "architechting") Ivanka is an empty headed opportunist who was born on third base and thinks she hit a triple.
Snood:
Quote:Anyone who thinks straight and speaks honestly would be worried with this man in charge of a small city council, much more so with him holding the reins of power of the US government.
Finn:
Quote:Yet another of your pompous and presumptuous pronouncements which translates to "If you don't agree with me you are (fill in the blank with your choice of pejoratives)"
You really need to find another pejorative to use on me than "pompous", Finn. You've cornered the market on pompous condescension and pretense; no one else can really do it like you.
I reject your characterization of my arguments as if I insult when someone doesn't agree with me. It's a logical fallacy from an unrepresentative sample - my distaste for your views doesn't translate into anything else but just that.
