    So what do you do when a political candidate is a criminal, a fraudster and a woman abuser?

    Do we give him the immunity he demands?

    Were young men drafted into the forces during the Vietnam war?
    And what followed is powerful people sending those men to their deaths by saying it was their patriotic duty?
    Doesn’t sound like a good system to me.

    actually it should be at the federal level given the fact that the commerce clause nonsense is dishonest.

    the federal government was never intended any gun control powers

    Yeah I did. What’s interesting is you’ve chosen a thread about patriotism to challenge my answer. Dismissing my expressed love of country as “standard talking points”. Proving you are so lacking in the quality being discussed that you are unable to recognize it.

    Since you apparently have chosen to be devoted to one man above country, IMHO, you have disqualified yourself from the discussion.


    patriot /pā′trē-ət, -ŏt″/
    noun
    1. One who loves, supports, and defends one's country

    feel free to repost it since I don't recall you ever setting forth what causes your level of agitation towards Trump. You have neither the standing nor the ability to disqualify anyone from discussing this issue

    this is amusing coming from a poster who thinks screaming "tRaitor" constantly is effective debating tactics

    The only reason , they are his "very best people" is becasue they are prepared to break the law for Trump. They get convicted while Trump remains out of prison, and continues to contaminate the air waves with his toxicity.& lies. But hopefully, things are closing in on him.......and long overdue.

    Oh, that was written in my more idealist beginnings when I joined the board.

    I've long since lost patience with the pervasive ignorance that permeates this forum, particularly on the right.

    Now, do you have a verbatim quote?

    I didn't think so.

    Looks like the Supreme Court doesn't agree with you.

    Whenever I do a "shoulda", someone on the right is quick to smack me down. Now it's your turn to get smacked.

    Lol!

    Now you are a pettyfogging the point of the conversation.

    If you're going to interject yourself into another's conversation, go back a couple of frames so you understand what's being discussed.

    "Everything he says" are weasel words.

    Weasel words are words and phrases that are so vague they are not conducive to coherent thought.

    So.

    Congratulations on your cop out.

    Now please answer the question.

    I would be happy with one quote let alone everything he says so just show me one.

    If you can't show me one then there sure as hell cannot be "everything he says".

    You can't, hence the cop out

    well the supreme court also has rejected the idiotic claim that you anti gun advocates push concerning the second only restricting the federal government when it comes to those in active militia service

    you claim people on the right are ignorant and yet your anti gun wall of words posts invariably are wrong, mistake obvious facts and often completely ignore known reality

    have you ever proffered a valid argument that the FDR commerce clause nonsense is something other than dishonest

    No you pettyfog the conversation because your point wasn't really important.

    Well something other than dishonest would be honest so thanks for the compliment

    You really hung up on that point aren't you?

    Since no one's challenged it apparently no one thinks it's an issue other than you.

    In fact, in the entire 4 years I've been on this post, the only one that's ever mentioned it is you. You really need to get over this idea.

    Yeah, insult me - great was to encourage me to respond.
    Nope, as I've indicated it's in every, or almost every statement he makes. And you know aw well as I do, no matter which quote I posted you'd go into one of your AI induced blather marathons. So why bother.
