    Is he human? Then there is no reason to believe he's telling the truth. And no reason to think he's lying either.

    However we do have this little thing in the US called "innocent until proven guilty". Its about only believing that which can be proven. And I don't know about you, but I like to follow that creed. Without evidence all that he's doing is expressing hearsay. And hearsay is not proof.

    And for the record, of course I wouldn't support Trump if he ordered people simply protesting to be shot.

    Like, "take all the guns first and then worry about due process?"

    Trump is a million times worse than any president in history.

    You are wrong on every level.

    Brainstorming ideas like shooting protesters in the legs? He’d have been better off not “brainstorming” that incredibly moronic idea

    Of course not. How could you ever ask that?

    Here's what you don't get. The very fact that such asinine things well up from the cesspool of his being, that is what is problematic.

    I don't want such a person in control of the nukes.

    Then you won't vote for Trump if he runs, right?

    Let me see. We went from much cheaper fuel, no noticeable inflation, fewer people dying from Covid, plenty of baby formula, a good stock market, no war, etc to what we have today. How is it that Biden was better?

    It wasn't stupid. Withdrawing from Afganistan had the support of the American people.

    Withdrawing from Afghanistan was a promise that Trump didn't have the courage to do, it was Trump's promise not kept. He put the machinery in place nad tied Trump's hands when Trump bypassed the Afganistan government and dealt with the Taliban, putting them as the de facto leaders.

    Trump kicked the can, forcing the can to be kicked by Biden, and it's clever, because, because of Trump's spinelessness, he can blame the inevitable trouble Biden might experience kicking that can on Biden.

    It is his style to brainstorm. The rules are that no idea is too stupid and criticism of the ideas is not allowed. The idea is to stimulate thought. The important point is that he did not order anyone to shoot anyone in the legs.

    It isn't like any president has a free hand in ordering the use of nuclear weapons.

    When you broad brush, this is the kind of response that is to be expected.

    Who cares? No president is supposed to blindly put the will of the American people into action.

    I agree with withdrawing from Afghanistan. He completely fxxxed up the withdraw.

    He pulled out the troops before evacuating the civilians. He abandoned an Air Base which would have given him a safe base to evacuate and which would allow crowd control (no people hanging from airplanes. He left billions in arms All stupid decisions contrary to the advice of the military.

    You. By asking such a question of @Dayton3 and responding the way you did. You fully believe that those that support Trump are the type that would advocate shooting protestors. That is what your question AND response to @Dayton3 portrays. IE: You broadbrushed.

    Brainfarting? I see what you did there!

    Clever renaming aside, there is not one thing wrong with brainstorming in an attempt to challenge conventional orthodoxy. The minute that you start criticizing brainstorming ideas you are destroying the benefit of brainstorming. To sit here and gnash your teeth over one of undoubtedly many brainstorming ideas, that probably lasted for 10 seconds in the session, is downright silly. Some guy is reporting it as if it is meaningful for the sole purpose of selling books knowing full well there are countless people like yourself just dying to grasp any opportunity to go over the cliff again with nonsensical hyperbole.

    Do you not have better things to do with your time?

    Do you and Golem have some kind of competition for the worse thread? It appears to be a dead heat.

    There is when that “brainstorming” idea is shooting protesters.
