They say McRaven is obviously a liberal discrediting the POTUS and all respect and confidence they may have had for him is now gone.  And he has no one to blame but himself.  And if it is discovered McRaven is colluding to attempt a coup of a duly-elected POTUS, he will be arrested, tried, and hanged.  But it won't be discovered because if the liberals have reached the highest level of our elite commanders and IC, they have already reached the highest levels in the FBI and DOJ, including the 17 democrats already named by POTUS in his Twitter communications.

I'm truly curious how some of you reconcile your scrot-worship of Trump with your previous respect of Adm. McRaven.  We are approaching beyond the pale.  

How do you look at Trump and McRaven, and think, "Oh yeah, that game show host is totally the guy of more integrity."  

How did some people look at David Koresh and think, yeah, that guy is the messiah?   How do some people learn about Xenu and think, yeah, that space overlord exists and lives in an electronic prison cave in the Pyranees and, 75 million years ago, brought billions of aliens to Earth, tied them to volcanoes, exploded them with atomic bombs, and caused their disembodied souls to attach to primative humans where they still torment us to this day?  

Trump is a con artist leading a cult.   There's no deeper explanation than that.  He found millions of rubes who were susceptible to a particular message and they'll support him through anything against all evidence.

So he's gonna blame the ridiculous price tag on his completely unnecessary parade on his opponents.

 

He’s suggesting the cost may not be what has been publicized.  In other words, “ Fuck yo trap...”

Or...

 

There’s the belief that no matter how crazy things get with Trump, and there is a hyper-overreaction by many on this front; it’s not possible to be worse than if his opponent had been elected.

The story has yet to be played out...

Oh I get that it all sounds completely reasonable to you and many others.   That's the point.

I think there is enough data points that show Trump is by far the worst President of the last 100 years (at least). Any other candidate from any modern election cycle would have been better than what we have.

It doesn’t feel nearly as terrible as the hysteria on this board makes it seem.  Seriously.

Those comments. JFC. As a former teacher and current education researcher, I am not surprised by the sheer stupidity of the average American. I'm down for moving my family to Europe or a tiny island in the South Pacific if Trump is re-elected. My kids are yellow but look brown, so they'd be high on the list for removal.

On a positive note, it may be a good chance to talk my wife into being a sister-wife.

My guess is they're not all Americans in a Fox News comment section.  My fav comments are those to discredit McRaven by tying him to anything Communist related.  That's sheer reflexive memory or they're tuning out Trump's love fest with Putin.

That's Trump's fiscal policy on full display. Getting lambasted for a $90mm parade that even your supporters are turning against? Ok, cancel it. But let's go by some bitching jet fighters instead! So much for fiscal conservatism.

Although I'm laughing at the thought of him believing he can buy multiple fighter planes for $90mm.

maybe some nice tanks?

So what should be my concerns going forward, in your opinion?

Rights that I haven’t lost or taxes I haven’t paid?  Disliking Trump because he doesn’t act the way I think a President should?

What are the risks or measurable losses already?

There are literally scores of threads on this board that address his every terrible policy in close detail.  People have even explained many of these things directly to you and you never even come close to grasping reality.    I might as well argue Xenu with a devout scientologist.

"It hasn't been bad for college educated white males yet" is not a great defense of the Trump administration.

You mean the hyper-overreaction of that time when dotard ordered kids to be separated from their parents and put in cages and we all were hyper-NOTFUCKINGHAVINGTHATSHIT? or maybe when the courts ordered the donald to reunite the kids with their parents and set a timeline and there are STILL kids in those centers with the cages separated from their parents and the people who did it are so fucking lost in the sauce they have no idea how to unfuck yhe situation so they asked a non-government organization, the ACLU, to take over because they are somehow going to magically figure out what the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANT?!

Is that the hyper-overreacting you are talking about? Or did you have something else in mind?

I live in a country that was working to lead the world in providing equality to all, not only here but abroad. To slow or take away evil leaders who oppress their people in other countries. Now, we take babies from their mothers, we stop people from coming to the country because of their religion, we minimize the value of our allies and instead want to make allies with our enemies (who are still actively trying to undermine our values), and we equate the morals of concerned citizens with literal Nazi's.  Does that directly impact me as a white middle-class male? No, but indirectly, it absolutely does. And it impacts the the course of our country for decades which impacts my child. I implore you to tell me where I'm wrong.

Yes, but Slorch hasn't himself been thrown into a camp, so fuck everyone else.

Some friends and former coworkers of mine have been seeing their work visas getting rescinded, causing them to have to sell their 300k+ house, pull their american citizen kid(s) out of school, and move their entire family back to india, despite working a $100K+ job running engineering and infrastructure for a retail company's website (not amazon). My friends are being hurt by trump. There are still over 500 children that were separated from their parents that the trump admin is doing NOTHING to put back together with their parents - they're even trying to defer that to the ACLU because they can't be bothered to do so. The stock market is great right now, but we are one bad event away from a major market correction - hell even just increasing the interest rate marginally may bring down this house of cards.

Our president is violating peoples 1st amendment rights in the form of firing them and going after their pension for speaking out against him - and you can't even hide behind the excuse that they were bad at their job BECAUSE TRUMP HIMSELF SAID THAT'S WHY THEY WERE FIRED!

I get that you probably have some latent syphilis from your time at tech that's slowing down the ol' graymatter, but you really need to pull your head out of your ass my dude.

Trump is dismantling the post-war system built by the United States.  The same one that allowed us to run shit for decades.  The ill effects won’t be immediately apparent.  They won’t cost slorch any cash this year.  But they will come.  And when they do, morons like slorch will blame Nancy Pelosi or the secret Clinton-Obama shadow government for all the dumb shit Trump is doing.

One slight correction the stock market is artificially inflated at the moment due to the lower corporate tax and corporations are buying back stocks which props up their value. That's far and away not at all the same thing as a strong, robust, healthy economy or stock market.

I concur with the rest of the post though.

He might be able to get one F-15E.  What a bargain!

How much does he think a “jet fighter” costs, like a million a piece?

Well, when you factor in how he usually prices things: agree on a price, stiff the contractor, pay pennies on the dollar, it makes at least a little bit of sense.
