He was referring to the old saying:

"An empty vessel makes the most noise".

That is to say, those without intelligence and virtue are usually the loudest and most obnoxious people.

He's right.

He made a lot of noise without much substance.

God it’s a shame the Trump has the opposite of the Midas touch.

I believe it was originally from Plato, but it's now a modern racist term

Well duh it's racist. The Greek philosophers were the original white, Western patriarchy shitlords. They wasn't even Kangs.

If there was a war, they wouldn’t be the ones to fight it.

They would watch, as others died for them.

You don't understand the movement do you?

The movement is about shoving the Progressive crap back where it came from phase...


If you notice, Trump never starts a situation, but yes sometimes he throw gas on it...

but it's all by design...to shove the BS back in their faces...

It's not like Jesus, I understand, but I have to admit, I love it because Liberals will walk over Jesus if was laying there begging for help.

Liberals have an agenda...we're done letting them win the battles by taking the high road

That’s such a shitty basis for a political movement, electing a president, and glamorizing classlessness that I can’t imagine thinking that way.

The goal is to shove grievances back in people’s faces, on the basis that they’re grievances?

Enlighten me on this. What’s a grievance the country should care about? Leaving any particular president out of it. What’s something broken you’d like to see fixed?

You didn't ask me, but I am answering anyway: Too many unproductive people living free on the dole that never even pay a dime into the pot.It cannot continue,it's mathematically impossible.

His qualifications and experiences notwithstanding, he went out and attacked a dead soldier’s mentor, defended Trump for things Trump himself said he didn’t say, and said a widow can’t have a conversation on speakerphone.

With regards to the war, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it from your sofa.

Define unproductive, living free, and not paying a dime.

I’m serious. We can get into policy here, and there’s a huge amount of grey area here where all of those terms don’t mean the same things to everyone.
