Daily talking points

I have always taken the position that Trump is unfit to be president. I haven’t been able to vote for a Republican for that office since Mitt Romney. What seems to trouble you is that I haven’t joined you in the leap into perfervid fascist fantasy. In your mind, that amounts to “sticking up for him”.

I don’t have to accept any alternative to Trump as a savior who has earned my unquestioning support.

I believe our constitutional order is robust enough to survive either Trump’s populist bluster or Harris’s endless pandering. I don’t think the Republic will fall either way. There is no need for the politics of panic.

I think the Reductio Ad Hitlerum argument has become so overused over the years that it’s become a sort of reflex action of lazy minds that cheapens and demeans our politics.

I don’t agree that one side’s bad faith justifies equal bad faith on the other. Nor do I accept the with-us-or-against-us mentality as worthy of a rational adult.

Despite what you seem to think, it’s possible to object to both Trump and his more hysterical detractors.

A nicely reasoned response, even when undeserved.

okay----in re: Trump working at Mickey Dees(who need all the help they can get, btw): It got publicity, so it served its' purpose. But yeah---it's no dumber than ol' Jimmah Cahtah posing for a photo op on a habitat fo' po' fokes home contruction site. I hafta giggle when I see the elderly demmacrat icon using a saw.(see photo) Yup. Now, that's unrealistic. So yeah---let that put it in perspective. See? Hope thatt helps you kids some.

Never mind, I was WRONG (thank god.)

Sometimes it happens.

You keep saying that, but just because I don’t buy into your overwrought rhetoric doesn’t mean I’m defending the man.

You CONSTANTLY defend him. Obviously, you have a blind spot.

the disconnect between your interpretation of words and my interpretation is extreme.

[Alan]

You CONSTANTLY defend him.

Am I missing something? I don't recall LDAHL ever defending Trump. Perhaps it's his reluctance to spew vitriol against all the "right" people that makes you think so?

Obviously, you have a blind spot.

If I were to approach you from your right, would you see me?

[LDAHL]

Obviously, you have a blind spot.

That must be where all those Nazis are hiding.
