Here, all you ignorant Trump bashers. Have a look at what absolute tools you are:

Link to video

They won't look. But the video makes some very good points.

I think you guys are developing BDS. 555

@Renauda Good to "see" you here. Always enjoy your interesting posts.

Thank you TG, as do I reading your reasoned posts.

The Republican Party also has work to do. They enabled Trump. They had a chance early on to distance themselves from the crazy assclown and do a solid for America, and they chose to take the coward's way out. By the time they realized they were stuck fast to the Trump tarbaby, they had nowhere to go. Then the love affair began to discorporate around the trial, when it was really too late, followed by endless waffling. So a pox on them, too.

I agree. They have to come to terms with the fact that under Trump, the Republican Party ceased to the voice of conservatism. Trump is not and has never been a conservative. Now is a perfect opportunity for Burkian conservative Republicans to reclaim their party from the Trumpian reactionaries.

See what I mean? Ignore, mock. You Trump bashers won't address that video at all. And most of the noise is coming from people who don't even live here and frankly is none of their fucking business anyway.

[Horace]

yeah it's difficult to be less impressed by someone who not only doesn't live in the country but doesn't post here in any consistent manner. If you want people to take you seriously you should probably broaden your portfolio of motivations for writing something to them.

[Catseye3]

Disagree.

[Horace]

Are you impressed by AndyD, Cats?

[Catseye3]

Sorry, I thought you were talking about someone else.

[Horace]

Renauda is a smart guy, I know that. I wish he posted here more often, but he seems to have categorized us.

[Renauda]

I may not live in the US or have US citizenship but I every right to comment upon and criticise American political events and persons. Especially when policies or statements emanating out the White House have or are affecting the country in which I live. That right extends to anyone else from outside the USA who posts here regularly or from time to time and wishes to comment. It is, after all, an open forum.

Think of us outliers then as disenfranchised stakeholders whose observations and comments are of no consequence. That, I am sure, would suit us just fine.

[Mik]

It's an open forum and should remain that way. I mean hell, we're not Facebook, are we?

[Horace]

In fairness, your ultimate prediction strikes me as little more than nihilism, without taking part in the outcome.

[Renauda]

@Horace

Heavens no, not nihilism. More like a Neo-Bonapartism.

[Larry]

I didn't say that. I like Renauda, always have. And yes, everyone has a right to speak. I don't want to silence anyone. I was just commenting on the fact that the loudest donkeys braying right now are those who don't live here.

AFAIC you're welcome here whenever you care to come in and comment, Renauda.

Trump is not a conservative, but he has governed as one.

Probably more conservative in action than any President since Reagan.

What is “traditional” conservatism?

What is “current” conservative?

Okay @Renauda

But I would also be interested in your opinion Jolly. There much difference in your mind, or has it changed from now to before?
