re: Don't let Trump fool you about the Puerto Rico disaster

You were cheerleading the progs who called Trump a war monger for getting riled up over Guam being threatened. You know... American citizens?

Obama does seem more intelligent in conversation

Except for the "uhhs" while he's trying to keep all his lies straight.

And I've never seen anyone question his intelligence either.

And you see where his "intelligence" led him.

I guess we agree.

Well then they both look idiotic when they are lying. Trump's issue is that he uses a ton of hyperbole and speaks in absolutes. That probably sounds less intelligent, because it's not a logical representation of many of the topics, but it seems pretty effective persuasively when the general basis is true or at least plausible.

His problem is that he uses the hyperbole and absolutes when the basis is not believable, and especially when it's clearly false, whether a lie or in error. It often sounds almost childlike or plain delusional when that happens.

I laughed at everyone afraid of Trump being "nefarious". The guy is simply not an under the radar covert type dude. There's nothing he's doing that isn't on full blast in the media and he's simply terrible at hiding what he does. He is genuinely quite possibly the most transparent POTUS there has ever been and its for a combination of reasons. 1. We have a complete over-saturation of coverage on his everyday moves, and 2. he openly puts a lot of shite out there utilizing far more platforms than any POTUS has ever used before.

I don't think this is a bad thing. The libs won't allow Trump to do a damn thing without them taking note. They're serving a solid purpose in that regard. Just wish they'd stop with all of the incessant hate, lying, and outrage garbage.

What makes this funny? I don't think he's scheming and would plan something nefarious from the get go, but I also think his worldview and moral guidance has an exteme egotistical basis, almost like a newborn child. In other words, good and bad, right and wrong are determined by how it impacts himself, at least first and foremost. Then maybe if it's something that doesn't really impact him, his basis becomes more traditional.

Luckily that usually means not doing something illegal, since that's the point; however, there are numerous examples throughout his history that are concerning, not because they seem especially nefarious, if at all, but because they are so unnecessary, that they seem like they aren't even based in reality at all, except for his own subjective belief in how it impacts him.

See and I think this is why there is such a huge divide on him, which was evident in the Sam Harris's in Scott Adams interview. One group sees something as endurance that he "tells it how it is and no BS," and the other group sees the same thing as think he's "completely BSing telling it like he thinks it should be, or how it will benefit him."

And frankly, I think that even those who think it's BS, believe that he probably believes that he's saying a lot of the time. So his supporters see honesty as a purely intent issue; he's telling me what he believe and therefore he's not lying to me, unlike most politicians. Then the other side thinks that if you say what you believe all the time, but there is a lot of BS and or completely Co contradictory to a previous statement, that you also beloved at the time, then clearly your belief doesn't make it any less likely to be BS."

I actually think this may be one of the major reasons for such different views because usually there is a relationship between ones belief and the likelihood that it's BS.

Probably, that' probably had only become possible not too long ago, and it continues to become increasingly possible.

You're right. Again this is partly because things like Twitter haven't been out that long.

But this is gets back to that divide. Trump has been saying what's on his mind for years via Twitter, and when you interviews, blog posts, etc., we actually had huge sample of statements about many issues. But here is thing. It seems like almost every stance or statement he makes usually with such absolute confidence, there is another tweet where he makes a statement with absolute confidence that completely contradicts previous statements. There is a subreddit dedicated to it, and it's almost uncanny how frequently it occurs. And because he speaks in such absolutes, it's from one exteme to the other. And if he confidently believes what he says, but confidently believes and states the opposite tomorrow, is that really transparency?

frick YOU!!!!!!!!!.................. that is all

Seems like lots of brown people in Texas and Florida got help quickly.

In 4 pages you've posted 3x including your OP. Rex used to do that.
