With the US Presidential election less than a week away, we thought it would be a fun idea to make this quiz. Fill in the blanks to these paraphrased "facts" that Donald Trump believes.
I don't know if Clinton would have been any better than Trump, seeing as loads of money going to the Clinton foundation "mysteriously disappears" and all of the wikileaks.
President Obama's Obamacare is possibly one of the worst federal programs: shouldn't insurance be optional, and shouldn't it be allowed to buy good insurance??
Personally, I really hope that Trump does well, just to prove all these Clinton supporters wrong. The media isn't always right, you know. Our current president has: deported more Mexicans than any other, all of his personal facts(not that personal, but like birthplace, parents, upbringing) are hidden, and openly admits to being a Progressive(left-wing's code word for Socialist). Problems that Obama faces are all blamed on the previous president, but none of that blame goes through to President Clinton.
Watch Fox News now everybody, instead of all those democratic NBCs, CNNs, and the like.
1. Clinton, as abysmally terrible as she was, yes, would have been many thousands of times better than Trump.
2. While the Clintons are generally pretty immoral, self-serving, and unscrupulous people, alleged scandals involving the Clinton Foundation are almost entirely BS. The foundation has been found to be quite good by foundation standards repeatedly by multiple unbiased agencies.
3. Wikileaks is a tool of Russian, anti-Western, and-NATO, and-American propaganda.
4. The Affordable Care Act is far from perfect but the Republican plan is to screw over the sick, poor, and elderly to grant short term advantage oligarchs and corporations. I hardly feel that's any better. As to whether or not basic healthcare should be a human right, and whether societies should provide some protection for its citizens against premature death from preventable or accidental illness/injury is a philosophical question not really related to the GOP position if we're being honest.
Jack: because of its multiple links to Russian intelligence, and the fact that it only ever publishes information that suit Russia's anti-Western anti-American anti-NATO anti-democracy agenda, and this is deliberate. For instance, there is strong evidence that Russia hacked both the DNC and RNC mail servers in 2016. But they chose to only release information that could be seen as damaging to Hillary Clinton, and not to release anything about Trump. And this was done through WikiLeaks, in coordination with Russian intelligence and Donald Trump's election campaign. All of this has been confirmed by basically every reputable intelligence agency in the world that has bothered to look into it.
I'm serious. Your comments are all over this site now and I've yet to read one that offered any useful insight. They range from the deluded to the nonsensical to the flat-out and easily, demonstrably false. Obviously you are also a fan of Fox so that explains it some.
Is there anything that Trump truly believes? He just says stuff. Whatever inane idiotic baloney pops into his fat head. Truth, reality, facts are all foreign concepts to this baboon. He cares so little about these things I suspect he doesn't understand the concept of them. So he says what his pathological narcissism tells him will sound as if he is good, smart, powerful or in control. He says what his conman instincts tell him his audience wants to hear in order to get what he wants. Of course this only works on simpletons and morons... to everyone else he sounds like the buffoon that he is. But does he truly believe anything coming out of his face hole? No. I don't think so. This is why he's so incredibly inconsistent. Belief doesn't factor in to it he speaks by reflex born out of mental disorder. He's not even lying he's just word vomiting.
Kalbahamut, simply excellent points made! - It was said during the campaign that Hillary had only a "fleeting acquaintance with the truth". Even if that were true, she still has a more meaningful relationship
Hillary is a liar, sure, but she at least cares about appearing to be telling the truth. She is a consummate politician. She weighs every response, painfully calculating every answer to try and construct a sentence that will win her the most praise and not offend anyone. But, as insincere as she sometimes is, at least she understands what truth and what facts are and cares about these things. And she usually knows what she's talking about, even if she's lying about it or using misleading language.
Trump just speaks in bullshit and knows nothing about anything.
Yes, the Democrats have many beliefs, values, and policy positions that, for the most part, they are pretty consistent on. (not always) Sort of like the Republicans used to. Decades ago.
I'm not sure what you mean by "considerable thing." He served as a United States senator from Delaware for 36 years and after that he served as vice president for 8. Is that not considerable? But if you really think he is an "idiot" by comparison to Trump, who is the most mentally deficient person to ever sit in the Oval Office, then, well... you're probably not worth talking to.
Ah, I'll never get tired of people complaining that Donald Trump is racist, then calling him an orange pig; I'll never get tired of people claiming that his Clinton conspiracy theory is ridiculous, then alleging an unproven connection between him and the Russian government; I'll never get tired of people saying that not releasing his tax returns is a terrible, despicable thing to do, then not releasing their own tax returns, just like hundreds or even thousands of celebrities and world leaders. Except that I did, more than a year ago. Ugh.
2. You don't understand the difference between conspiracy theory and actual conspiracy.
3. ....... really? You're serious? First of all nobody ever said Trump not releasing his tax returns was a terrible, despicable thing to do... nice strawman you got there. What they *have* said is that he's the first major party nominee in over four decades to refuse to release information about their finances or taxes, that his claim that he couldn't because he was being audited is a bald-faced lie (and the IRS has confirmed this), and that this is troubling since he is *obviously* hiding something.
Second, nobody cares about my tax returns. I'll release them if you want, but I'm not running for president so why would it matter? Trump supporters say some crazy crazy things...
I guess that the American tax payers have become Mexico, as WE are now being held in a financial abyss until he can grab our tax dollars to pay for his southern wall! (Another lie: 'Whose gonna pay for the wall? Mexico will!). And I firmly believe that the reason he refuses to release his tax returns is because doing so would expose another of his lies; that he is a billionaire. By the way, is that ever-present red tie that hangs inches below his waist a fashion statement or what?
I think the tie is mostly related to his insecurities about the size of his hands, inauguration crowds, electoral victory margins, fortune, IQ, et cetera.
Obama isn't the only person whose birthplace Trump gets wrong: https://news.sky.com/story/president-trump-gets-his-fathers-country-of-birth-wrong-again-11682612
Trump has said himself that he doesn't joke. Was that a joke? Or is it just that he is himself a joke?
In either case, the existential danger he poses to the United States isn't funny. The man just said yesterday he was going to try and stop ballots so he could hold on to power. I'm sure his sycophantic cult will claim that he was just joking. Just like he was only joking about slowing down the mail... or reducing coronavirus testing... or that COVID-19 was all a Democratic hoax... or that he was going to traumatize the children of immigrants to try and discourage others from crossing the border... or that he believed Russian dictator Putin more than every U.S. intelligence agency... or that he asked Russia to steal information from the DNC (which they did later that day)... or that he made a perfect phone call to shake down the Ukrainian president... or that he was going to drain the swamp (wait was that one supposed to be serious?). Man, he's hilarious.
I'll state the facts as is - the election was likely to be rigged, although not proven, and the democratic side did win the popular vote. Claims can be based on that evidence but neither side should be chosen blindly without certainty.
No liberal has used that language about the 2016 election that I've ever heard. Russia interfered in the election and exerted influence, and there was a widespread disinformation campaign mostly on social media that may have very well given the election to Trump, but that's not exactly the same as the election being "rigged."
On the other hand, there is good cause to be alarmed about things taking place presently, and good cause to worry that the election of 2020 may be rigged for Trump (who keeps accusing the Democrats of trying to cheat... but we know from experience every time he accuses anyone else of doing something or being something negative, he is talking about himself).
Right at this moment Trump and his henchmen are trying to sow as much doubt and confusion and chaos about this year's election as possible. They are already discussing plans to sue to stop vote counting as early as possible. And they have been trying to figure out ways to fix the electoral college.
Just watch. On election night, if Trump does not win a clear victory, he will immediately claim that Democrats are cheating and counting fraudulent ballots (with zero evidence of this). He will then claim that any counting past election night is fraudulent and must be stopped. He will send armies of lawyers to every swing state to try and stop vote counts, and will sue every county he can to try and delay, disrupt, or confuse their counting and certification process. Then, after a few days have gone by with the chaos he has created, he will announce that the whole thing is a disaster and that we cannot be certain about any of the results anywhere. He will then take measures to appoint Trump loyalist electors to the Electoral College, who will ignore any vote counting going on in the swing states still, and he will try to announce himself as the winner. This will of course be challenged, and taken quickly to the Supreme Court, where he is counting on a 6-3 majority to make him king.
I'm not sure that the Supreme Court will go along with this. Kavanaugh probably will. Thomas probably will. Any of the awful women he is thinking about appointing to be the 9th justice definitely will; that's obviously part of their interview process right now. But... none of the liberal justices will. And I'm not sure about the remaining conservative justices, especially Gorsuch and Roberts. They *might* actually care enough about the country, the Constitution, democracy, and the rule of law to try and stop Trump's coup. They might not. If they do... then I imagine Trump is going to try and get Barr to find some other legal way for him to suspend the election and stay in office as long as he can. Or maybe just rile up his idiotic base enough that we end up in a 2nd American Civil War. That'll be fun.
and it also doesn't help that we've got hundreds of mostly unqualified hacks appointed to federal courts as judges the last few years by Trump and McConnell. Every branch of government right now is heavily compromised.
