I don't celebrate the guy, I celebrate the action. Trump was loathsome 75% of the time yesterday. His inauguration speech was low class, not presidential, and listening to him is like nails on a chalkboard. However, I celebrate many of his executive orders. Do I wish it were coming from Haley? Hell yes, but it isn't so don't mistake my support of his actions as support for trump the man. My comments like "winning" are just giving shit back to the shit throwers on here.

His actions are based on lies that you have slurped up. So how are you being critical of him, when in fact you're just parroting him?
 
Perhaps callatoroy can tell us who he believes are the victims of the "crimes" committed by the "Biden Crime Family" that are supposedly so pernicious? And maybe while he's at it identify the "crimes" they committed?

For example. Panama didn't give control of the canal to china. But, china has been investing heavily in central America and has gained a good deal of influence in panama. So, trump is exactly right to be worried about the growing influence china has in panama and given how strategic the canal is to our national security, we need to take some kind of action rather than sit back and let it get worse. Rather than say anything remotely similar trump says panama is giving china control of the canal and we need to take it back.

This is a shockingly good, if simple, description of the use and effectiveness of soft power, by somehow who has shown little interest in the value of soft power and in defense of a president who claims intent to end all foreign aid whilst also threatening military action to counter the impending loss of influence that foreign aid buys.

Impressive.

But you drag people constantly for supporting Joe Biden. If someone responds "But I liked the stuff he did." are you saying that you would just let that go?

In some respects yes. In some, where I think the law was intentionally ignored for political gain, no. If you tell me you like his exec. order halting drilling leases on federal lands, ok. That was a political difference of opinion. I can respect that even though I might disagree. His complete and utter border disaster is something completely different in terms of politics. Yes, I'm very critical of him for that. He wants to chase the green new deal, ok. I can agree to disagree. You want to pardon you son and preemptively your entire family when there is a real possibility of selling access then no, that isn't just a political action.

Exactly. And Trump just torched what soft power survived his first administration. He seems to think that his bluster is going to force capitulation. That's not how it works, and the result is that Trump has made America demonstrably weaker.

Okay, we can add self awareness and discernment to the list of things you lack.

Ok. We are on differing political sides on an internet message board. I wouldn't expect you to think my judgement was great or we wouldn't have differing political views. Of course, being on a board where you are outnumbered 100 to 1 might indicate a lack of judgement too so there's that. Have you tried joining a conservative political board?
 
rodoheel said:
Yeah someone who uses the term "Biden Crime Family" is definitely a model of "applying standards" fairly.

Pretty telling that you would claim to base all of this anger about how you feel about the family of someone who was the victim of a crime long ago yet you have not a care in the world for the Capital Police injured and killed by the J6 mob, of whom Trump just pardoned about 1600.

Please tell me where I have supported that? In fact I have admitted in another thread that some shouldn't have been pardoned and should have followed the girl who was killed. But by all means show where I was dismissive of the capital police injured or killed.

Where is one? All I see are reactionaries and revanchists.

You called Biden a "despicable human being [who] is due for some bad karma" and implied that his pardoning of someone who killed a cop was just about the worst thing he's done. If you would say the same thing about Trump I guess that's fair enough (even though I think putting Biden and Trump in the same league as "despicable human beings" is laughable).

Who did he pardon who killed a cop? Or are we still talking about the people who were acquitted of doing that?

In Cal’s defense, we’ve been giving folks a lot more leeway than that on comments about Trump and his well being — basically leeway to blow off steam with karma/junk food comments, only really actively moderating more active references or apparent calls for violence. Only seems fair to try to be consistent in all cases.

I have zero problem with callatoroy's comments from a board moderation perspective (though I tend to be more laissez faire than others when it comes to that). I'm just addressing them from the perspective of testing his own claim that "I apply standards better than almost anyone else on here."

Let's be clear about where and how it started. It was on the pardons thread. Here's my reply to the post. If you notice, it had nothing to do with his politics but about the sort of person he showed himself to be. I don't want to hear a damned thing about standards from this sort of person


Callatoroy said:
With these pardons Joe has shown that he isn’t just an old mindless man. He is now an old mindless pos of a man. Way to go out on such a low note Joe. May you and your family reap all the bad that you so richly deserve.

What an absolute lack of class on your part.
 
Just put the MAGA folks on ignore. It's not worth it. Fear, hate, ignorance and Trump have turned their minds and hearts into mush.
