You have done that Kane and I appreciate it. Agree or disagree you are clearly one of my top 5 posters on this board.
You are probably correct overall. I'm not necessarily Team Trump but the story lines from the left and the reasons they use to support some of this stuff seems flimsy at best.
All of this about Trump being a blackmailed double agent who works for Putin and so on seems more like hysterical emotion rather than anything else.
For example your first sentence here.....
There is absolutely no way you can know that. There is no article in the world than can prove nothing been done for our next election.
Evidence of absence. Since I can't prove it exists, therefore you have proved that it doesn't. That's not how it works.
Just common sense but no matter what I say the left can not even concede that. And FTR I'm not arguing he has done something or even intends to.......
But to accept as FACT that he has done nothing based on an article(s) and use that as an attack on his credibility does nothing but weaken the person suggesting such.
The idea that as US citizens sitting on our couch eating Dorito's we would/could/should KNOW what was going on at top levels of government is just ridiculously silly.
If we aren't aware of some top secret counter espionage response to our enemies in the world then it doesn't exist!!!! Sigh.
You can't really believe that.
When grown men are sitting around hating on a man, let alone the POTUS for being a "bloated orange puppet", it's a pretty good indicator that person probably has a bias or two.
I quit attacking people for their looks in the 2nd grade.
The same as when someone would refer to Obama as the ignorant monkey sitting in office, or Pelosi as the botox scarecrow or whatever they call her.....
Good bet that people who attack this way are short on facts and long on hate.
My opinion has been the same, if your life, standard of life, quality of life or whatever is seriously affected by who's in office you have bigger concerns you should be focused on.
Instead of wasting time getting pissed off daily talking about the POTUS you should be concerned with things that ARE in your control!!
Not saying "you" Kane, using you in general.
Super Sunday, good luck today men - left, right and in the middle!

And BTW Kane, the stuff you posted about Trump being a racist, that's much different than trying to prove something doesn't exist as in foreign policy
Of course we all think we're the fair and logical one, LOL, but you remember us being the only one's taking on all the conservatives at Peeps in the past?
My point is I have no side, I'd probably be getting my ass pounded by Merlin and the others if a lefty was in office right now.
I just call it the way I see it. That doesn't mean I'm right but I am a whole lot less emotional than most posters in this thread.
Some of these attacks on Trump come from nowhere. Anything he says, does, or doesn't do.
Or even if the appearance to Joe Voter is that he hasn't done something, that puts him under attack as well.
He's got a big extended family here, no, I don't believe he's secretly working as a Russian slave for Putin, LOL.
Although I'm not as passionate as you guys , I enjoy reading all the thoughts, carry on men.

I absolutely believe there's a good chance he's done business with Russia. And I wouldn't have a problem believing some of it was in the "gray area".
He's probably done business with a lot of countries and a lot of it might be stuff he doesn't want to be examined. Hence his tax returns.
He's a business man for better or worse.
Despite it making a nice clean narrative I have a problem making the leap from that to he's working against our best interests and in the interests of Russia because of it.
If you don't mind me asking who you got today?

This probably sounds callous but I'm not hung up on him or any other POTUS being a perfect angel. It's obvious he's not.
When you have a bankroll that size it's a very high probability you have done questionable things with questionable people at one time or another.
My focus is on what will he do for the country. Period.
Not how well he played the bankruptcy laws, how many chicks he banged, his weight or color of his skin and so on......
IMO we needed a fresh and new perspective in Washington, no chance I was voting for Hillary.......
Whether Trump is the right newcomer to shake things up or not I tend to believe it's a start in the right direction.

Yes, I'm more concerned about how the POTUS does in his role as leader of the free world than adultery or how many chicks he banged......
Said same when Bill Clinton did it, say the same with Donald Trump.
It's called being consistent, you should try it sometime.
Indeed. Doesn't make you a bad person though......
We move on.
Two other obvious test I failed to mention. My vote will go to the canidate that believes in inclusion and humane behavior. Trump has failed those tests. The way he handled Puerto Rico was very bad for America. His zero tolerance policy at the Southern Border is very inhumane which has led to multiple death of children and family separtion. Obviously a major scar on America. Trump has a long way to go if he wants to do good for America.
