Republicans created Trump

[Dr. Jones]

Spoken like a politician. You should run for office, you would be perfect for it.

Thank you.

But I can't take the pay cut, yet.

 

[One Brow]

I'm not intending to be either accusatory or spiteful in any way.
I apologize if I worded my post(s) that may suggest otherwise.

No worries. I was hoping the difference in tone between "vomited" and "I thank you" would indicate I was not taking it seriously. No harm, no foul.

The whole "any person who is eligible to vote" business didn't do it for you? But glad you became convinced in another way.

Would you say that "any person who is eligible to vote in New York may vote absentee", even though New York requires an excuse? Is there a difference between eligible and allowed? Maybe the language is completely unambiguous, and I'm just being dense. I will not attempt to dissuade anyone who holds that opinion.

We all have a choice whether or not to we should verify our opinions with facts, so that we can improve them if needed. You seem to be choosing to keep fact-free opinions.

Do you honestly believe that you can convince me that those speaking fees were because Bill was such a popular president? I think you're the one trying to ignore the facts. Do you honestly believe you can convince me that I cannot vote by mail when experience has proven to me that I can? If voting by mail is not currently allowed in some states that should be changed. Making it a holiday is a bad idea that will cost businesses money and solve nothing. I really don't see any point in having further discussion with you on these subjects.

You really think Obama would not have worked with a Republican Congress to improve (as opposed to eliminate) the ACA?

Lmfao. Stop with the leading questions. You already know the answer to this.

But New York specifically does NOT say that, at least not anywhere i looked. They specially say the opposite, that NOT everyone is eligible to vote visa absentee ballot. See here https://www.elections.ny.gov/VotingAbsentee.html.

But this is a stupid thing to argue about, so I'm done.

Trump on the arts:

It doesn’t seem like Trump has thought quite as much about this topic.

“I punched my music teacher because I didn’t think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled,” he ― or more likely his ghostwriter ― wrote in the 1987 book, The Art of the Deal.

While it’s not entirely clear if that story is true, Trump voluntarily included the detail in his book. He later told a biographer why this all might still be significant.

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same,” said Trump, in the book, Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success. “The temperament is not that different.”

Trump on wives and being a partner:

Here’s Trump’s more cynical take from Trump: The Art of the Comeback.

“Often, I will tell friends whose wives are constantly nagging them about this or that that they’re better off leaving and cutting their losses,” he wrote. “I’m not a great believer in always trying to work things out, because it just doesn’t happen that way. For a man to be successful he needs support at home, just like my father had from my mother, not someone who is always griping and bitching. When a man has to endure a woman who is not supportive and complains constantly about his not being home enough or not being attentive enough, he will not be very successful unless he is able to cut the cord.”

Trump on his daughter and beauty:

During a 2006 appearance on “The View,” Trump talked about how hot his daughter is. Then things quickly got weirder.

“I don’t think Ivanka would do that [pose for nude photographs] inside the magazine,” said Trump. “Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her. Is that terrible?”

Trump on handshakes:

Oh boy, does Trump hate shaking people’s hands.

“One of the curses of American society is the simple act of shaking hands, and the more successful and famous one becomes the worse this terrible custom seems to get,” he wrote in his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback. “I happen to be a clean hands freak. I feel much better after I thoroughly wash my hands, which I do as much as possible.”

Did we mention, he’s not a big fan of the handshake?

“But, you know, I am not a big fan of the handshake. I think it’s barbaric,” he told “Dateline” in 1999. “They have medical reports all the time. Shaking hands, you catch colds, you catch the flu, you catch it, you catch all sorts of things. Who knows what you don’t catch?”

Trump is quite a card!

I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot someone and not lose any voters.
