I can see why ESM left this forum - now I wish I too had the strength.

I dunno. Guys like BarryP are entertainment.

Do either of them wear a hat at the dinner table?

Sure, among my friends. But here I'm going to be as Deplorable as possible and defend Trump even if I disagree with him for the next two years just to get a little payback for the last 8.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

   I don't understand all the either/or. Just because Trump redefines classlessness for the office, does not mean that Obama was not classless on a number of occasions.

"Because he's the President America deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll flame him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a tweeting guardian, a watchful sex-predator. A dork knight."

You're like school in the summertime....no class.

Call it what you will, but every pro-gun rights law, every round up of illegal immigrants, every break from tradition, every repeal of democrat/Obama laws and policies, every repeal of green legislation, every appointment, and every outrageous treat that pushes us closer to the abyss will be cheer led by me for at least two years. Depending on who the dems put up, I may extend it beyond that.

I may give entertain debate on unquestionable support for law enforcement, law enforcement reform, policy that reasonably encourages energy efficiency, illegal immigrant families who committed no other crimes being deported.

You, democrats and liberals created the shit storm that made America ripe for trump. I'm just embracing it.

We'll see. I doubt it actually. They will focus on the clear and present threat that provides better optics. Like the Illegal immigrants that inhabit much of our prison populations.

Immigration enforcement isn't really my thing. I look at it from an economic perspective. Including one that says how can you demand a minimum wage while at the same time allow illegal immigration to fill jobs Americans "won't do".

The notion that Obama has deported more people than any other president has been repeatedly debunked. The only reason that number went up is because they changed who counted as "deported."

C'mon spot. You know that vegan likes to use his own facts.

I think the point is that the republican claims of Obama being "classless" were, to some, quite a stretch. Now we have a president that is anything but classy, so the comparison might demonstrate the unreasonability of the attacks on Obama for his "lack of class".

Trump doesn’t lack class – he offers classes. The first one is even free.

Of course Donald Trump lacks class. His hotels, his style hell even his gold plated interior of his apartment are gaudy. But bogans love Trump.

https://thingsboganslike.com/...20/250-donald-trump/

My favorite excerpt.

Donald Trump is everything that the bogan wants from being a bazillionaire: he started by investing in residential real estate, and then became max celeb. Eventually, he scored a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, walked past countless velvet ropes, and now co-owns the Miss Universe beauty pageant. The bogan is also inspired by the idea that Trump gets to be an arsehole to people without repercussions. The 65 year old New Yorker was in Australia recently to record a cameo appearance in Celebrity Apprentice, reminding the bogan that its reality television-driven admiration of Trump is based on solid bogan philosophy.

You won't get any defense of Trump's class, or lack there of from me. But like I said, Obama lowered the dignity of the president so much that the time was just right for a bogan idol like Trump.

Thanks Obama.

You have a funny definition of debunked.

You have a funny definition of debunked.

What definition are you laboring under?

From spot's link:


Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009.
On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's deportation statistics.

The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now.

BTW, thanks for that info, spot. Was news to me.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

    Changed the definition. If you were turned away at the border, that did not count as a "deportation" before Obama.

No, I have the standard definition. Did you even read the article?
