However, sitting in an executive chair, well that's home Donald Trumps home away from home. I can relate to his position. I got hammered by critics was treated the same way in the old forum early on. Do you see me getting hammered by waves of liberal critics, being demoralized and treated as being illegitimate today? How could you, you weren't around during the Bush years? We have a large segment of society (super blue ego's) who view him as illegitimate because he didn't win the popular vote. Are you familiar with snowflakes? It's an American term. A conservative term associated with a segment of blue American. What side is that you ask, the side you've chosen enough times for me to associate you with view you as being a member of blue America. Who am I? I'm the Republican voter that you screwed up and sided against to many times. But, I'm not involved in American politics? You are now. Welcome to American politics. Like Trump, I just placed you in a whole new territory.(01-25-2017, 03:26 PM)X_4AD_84 Wrote:(01-25-2017, 03:11 PM)taramarie Wrote:(01-25-2017, 08:01 AM)Odin Wrote:My comment still stands. I do not see how your comment negatively impacts mine. Both are suckers to a certain degree. Both have assholes who taint their message which become the stereotypes that prevent discussion being had on both sides. Neither understands the other because their brains are wired differently but from my background so far the dems message IMO is a better one so far. You have yet to change my mind on that. Fortunately for you my mind is a bit more open than the man you mentioned I should talk to. Odin is correct. Btw Odin this comment is for Classic....i just included your comment because I agree with you. But as you know I trust in action. So far Trumps actions are heinous. I will let what Trump does speak for itself as always as we have enough doomsday prophets among us and xers demand proof so that you guys will get in the future. I do not trust though that proof is enough for xers or at least some who are extreme right or left wing though. Far too easy for them to dismiss it. Cynicism is good for finding truth but not if dismisses anything that does not align with what you deem as truth.(01-25-2017, 06:12 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote: I'm damn near fifty years old.

Hint: There are no government safety nets in place to save suckers. If you lived in America, you'd hear or read about a story involving some sucker every day. Ask Eric if recruiting suckers is easy in America.
But yet you fell for a con man.
Btw I never asked for your age nor your background. I do not see how that makes you qualified to be less of a sucker. As you can see there are some among us who still think you are one and for reasons I have mentioned which have proven to be true. Odin votes differently to you. You see him as a sucker and he vise versa. Except you think your experience and age makes you less of one. It doesn't. A worldly person who considers everyone and considers everyone's human condition in America maybe less so. One that also considers the health of the economy and eco system too...not just the human condition maybe less so too. Thing is both sides seem to think they both have it right. So far what I see Trump doing is hurting all 3.
One thing that is already apparent about Trump is that he is not going to suddenly "act Presidential" as was incorrectly foretold by some really naive people. He has one or more personality disorders (and as I am not a therapist or counselor evaluating him 1 x 1 I will not try to guess what they are from a distance). He is behaving erratically and dis functionally. I know what I am seeing very well. I have had a long go through the wild and wooly world of tech. I hit 30 years last year. This has spanned both large corporations and very small start ups. I've had at least 30 bosses during that time. I have had a few who were really out there. One of them ended up with both civil suits and a criminal investigation. Trump reminds me in particular of him. He's the only boss that ever made me want to quit without having another job lined up. In retrospect he had severe mental health issues.
Haha of course he is not going to suddenly act presidential. He is still using an unsecured android phone in the white house despite bashing Hillary of doing the same. I have a link for that btw if anyone is interested.
Well he is all over the place and I think that is due to his lying nature which qualifies him already for office as they tend to be two faced.
It shall be interesting what happens in the future. So far I see nothing good happening except for him cancelling the TPP deal.
