Dan Rather on Right-Wing hypocrisy

[whirlingmerc]

Yes, in the narrow minds of his sycophantic enablers.

I believe Hillary and Obama had quote a few of there own enablers, many of which looked the other way and excused way too much

Both Hillary and Trump were significanly flawed... more a question of while was less significantly flawed

No, not really. Clinton had normal politician flaws, but was otherwise a highly experienced public servant with actual policies. There is honestly no comparison with that and the completely inexperienced mess we put in charge of our country.

It’s not the normal human flaws I am concerned with.
It’s when the evil that one does effects so many other people.
All three of the individuals are the same in that they are human and thus, sinners.
Yet, Hillary and Obama have goodness in their hearts for other people, which is reflected in their ideals and policies.
Their policies are inclusive and beneficial to the masses.
Trump only spreads his hate and evil throughout the nation creating suffering and misery for millions, while he and his wealthy buddies live like kings off their plundered loot (tax reform?), and his sycophant base cheers him on, while they are thrown under the bus with the rest of us.
When will their eyes be opened? Will it be too late?

Yes, in the narrow minds of his sycophantic enablers.

So you prefer the same old tactics that have proven ineffective time and time again?

 

[Jeremiah Ames]

Talking to a Trump sycophant is very similar to talking to my cat.
The only difference is that my cat listens. (And probably thinks deeper thoughts) . Can’t you tell by the picture, my cat is very contemplative?

 

[Jeremiah Ames]

I rest my case.

 

[Falvlun]

So you prefer the same old tactics that have proven ineffective time and time again?

Like tax cuts?
Like steel tarriffs?
Like discriminatory policies?
Like deregulation?
Like the war on drugs?
Like abstinence only sex ed?
Like opposing gun control?
Like trickle down economics?

 

[Stanyon]

I rest my case.

So do you support the same policies that have proven ineffective over and over for years?

 

[Stanyon]

Like tax cuts?
Like steel tarriffs?
Like discriminatory policies?
Like deregulation?
Like the war on drugs?
Like abstinence only sex ed?
Like opposing gun control?

The question was about Trumps tactics on North Korea

The question was about Trumps tactics on North Korea

Oh so it’s sometimes acceptable to support tactics that have proved ineffective year after year.

As for Trump and N. Korea, I wasn’t aware that calling their leader a funny name and comparing whose button was bigger was considered a “tactic”.

It’s also possible that the years of “ineffective” policy are what got us to this point.

His approach on North Korea appears to have worked so far.

What Twitter battles? Hilarious. Btw the meeting of n Korea is a bust. The one thing i might have given credit to Trump for but he was fulll it as per the usual.

Irony....
Had Hillary won, then she would've been the only President to annihilate an entire country (Iran).
Republicans & Democrats aren't that different.

I highly doubt it, just going by the presidents words, no candidate had said anything like that either.

Sooo...what do you think you're supposed to do in a war?

In war typically you leave innocents out of it.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Yeah he's got Kimmy quaking in his boots willing to negotiate now. I can't think of any president in history who's brought North Korea to the negotiating table since hostilities began.

Trump isn't going to fool around with people. He says what he means and I think North Korea understands now that Trump isn't another pushover Democrat that Kimmy can play like a trumpet.

Seriously? There are no innocents in war.

 

[fantome profane]

Didn't he have a fake news issue?

Is that a question?

If you have an accusation to make, make it.

I think Hillary would have done the same as her husband and Obama. Bill gave NK 4 billion dollars to stop their offensive and Obama gave Iran one and a half billion to stop theirs. Both cases failed and a waste of taxpayer money. Trump used the same tactics that Reagan used that brought down the USSR. Force seems to be the language these dictatorships understand. Reagan used Starwars and Trump used "fire and fury" along with properly placed sanctions.

As bad as the media tried to spin it to seem being too harsh, you have to go with what works.

 

[Phantasman]

Rather was good when he just reported the news as a newsman. Once he controlled the content and was able to opine it, he sunk fast because he tried to sell comments as news. Tucker Carlson is a commentator.

News is news. Comments are comments.

Are you certain?

Trump & Reagan are very very different in their approach to foreign policy.
The USSR ultimately collapsed without threats.

In all are previous arguments on this issue I’ve never claimed Hillary a saint but argued that Trump was not any less of a Hawk but you were hopeful. It’s a stupid comment for anyone to say, Trump certainly doesn’t get a pass because of Hillary. Trumps the one with the “bigger button”. Lol
