Pretty hard to have a crisis of Democracy when your nation isn’t one.

Are you sure about this information? The internet has been wrong before you know?

According to the Virginia State Police, he was convicted of nine counts of INDECENT LIBERTIES WITH CHILD BY CUSTODIAN. So, I suppose the answer to your question turns on the definition of a child in Virginia.

That's a legitimate question. Another one, however, is exactly what is his relationship to the restaurant?

“It’s a little more complicated when the professional racist is the president of the United States. The norms of our political life require a degree of bipartisan forbearance. But treating members of Donald Trump’s administration as ordinary public officials rather than pariahs does more to normalize bigotry than exercising alongside a white separatist.”

One would think that a person with a last name of Goldberg would understand the concept of blood-libel, avoid it, and not defend flippant comparisons of political opponents to NAZIs. But, alas, this is not the case.

It is truly amazing how Donald Trump has been a powerful billionaire and TV and film celebrity for decades, and no one detected his supposed racism. But now he is a “professional racist”? What does that even mean? Where is a single shred of evidence?

Not a single recording of him uttering a racial epithet. Not a single case of him discriminating in years of conducting business. Nothing.

“It’s less a result of a breakdown in civility than a breakdown of democracy. Though it’s tiresome to repeat it, Donald Trump eked out his minority victory with help from a hostile foreign power.”

A breakdown as a result of a certain element of society that is only interested in “democracy” when they get whatever they want. When they don’t they will lie, steal, cheat, and kill to get it.

And what is tiresome is Goebelles’ style propaganda. Foreigners were employed by Democrats, RINOs, and partisan law enforcement to ATTACK Citizen Trump and illegally deprive him of his Constitutional rights. Not one single, solitary shred of evidence has ever been presented that suggests Citizen Trump “colluded” or cooperated with Russians to win the election. Saying or implying otherwise is a LIE. And they know they are lying. We ALL know they are lying. Yet they keep lying.

Liberals, with their demonic bloodlust for killing and dismembering babies and an obsession with forcing a societal embrace of anal sex as a form of love, lecturing about civility is like a wolf lecturing sheep about table manners. Except it would be enough to make a wolf break from the script to say this is even too much for him.

“He has ruled exclusively for his vengeful supporters, who love the way he terrifies, outrages and humiliates their fellow citizens.”

Those who do not support Trump are fully free to turn down the jobs he has created and give away the tax breaks they are getting, but no he is not “ruling” nor is he governing only for the benefit of his supporters. This is another obvious lie. When he brings a resolution to the issues with North Korea and Iran, everyone will be safer, not just Trump supporters. And everyone knows this as well.

And Trump’s supporters are NOT vengeful. If we were, we would be hunting down Obama for his many crimes against humanity. We would be hunting down enemies of the Republic, like this Goldberg. But we are too civil... for now. When the current attempted coup goes hot, all bets are off.

No, Trump’s supporters are NOT vengeful, but we are angry. Very angry. We tolerated absolute hell from the previous administration. Obama betrayed our military with rules of engagement designed to get them killed. Those numbers went up, but the reporting of them on the news went down. His weaponizing the government against conservatives was criminal. His gun running that put weapons in the hands of the drug cartel and were used to kill American law enforcement was criminal. He and Hillary and McCain arming radical Islamists who then went on to torture children and commit genocide against Christians was a crime against humanity. His and the Democrats unconstitutional ACA and Iran negotiations were criminal. The forcing of homosexual marriage and the destruction of the social order were also crimes against humanity and against nature. And yet we have NOT taken revenge.

But when we elected someone who represents us, he is NOT being allowed to govern as all the presidents in out lifetimes have been allowed, even the criminal Obama. We are not vengeful, but we ARE ANGRY. And if men like Goldberg realized just how angry, they wouldn’t publish such salacious lies.

You think that calling names constitutes a valid argument?

You are no better than liberals.

The reason you are not hunting down Obama is because you can’t. You don’t have enough of a power base. If Donald Trump can’t even sneeze in a JFK’ish manner without being berated all over the news, why would you ever expect getting away with that.

“The reason you are not hunting down Obama is because you can’t.”

I’m addressing the accusation that all of Trump’s supporters are “vengeful”.

No, we would happily convict any of Obama’s team (including McCain) of the crimes they have committed. But we have not resorted to vigilante justice.

Look at the people who have tried to kill judges and politicians. They are liberal lunatics. Whether it is trying to kill Ronald Reagan or Steve Scalise, it is always a liberal. When have we had a conservative attempt an assassination?

I've been on Free Republic for 21 and a half years, you quacking little n00b buffoon.

You've been a mouthy a-hole the entire time you've been here.
