Why Negotiations With Russia Seem So Difficult

AC: I contend that the United States of America has been at least as dangerous and evil in my lifetime as any other country in the world. Prove me wrong.

Williams: I’ll just settle for proving you anti American.

Proof not given.

But I do have a question: if the Founding Fathers were to recoil at what has become of our country; if they were to call it evil due to abuses that would have made King George blush (because if you'll recall, the Tea Tax that was a catalyst for the Boston Tea Party was 3%; the Founders would be flabbergasted at the sorts of taxes we have nowadays, notwithstanding the foreign entanglements that George Washington specifically warned against); would you say that they were anti-American?

[Williams]

I’ll try to explain this as simply as possible. People that want to say the US is the most evil country on Earth are nuts.

And the convoluted logic like the Founding Fathers are on your side. Also nuts.

You don’t know enough history or have enough perspective to blow your nose.

And now these same nuts are turning on Trump.

Don't be disingenuous; that's not what AC said. To wit: "I contend that the United States of America has been at least as dangerous and evil in my lifetime as any other country in the world."

"At least as dangerous and evil...as any other country" is not "the most evil country".

More word games by nuts.

I think that as you turn on Trump you’re being exposed to most people.

Facts not in evidence.

But since you've gone this far, it must be said: if you care more about Trump's reputation than [insert significant issue here, be it greater escalation in foreign wars, Epstein's clients being exposed, and so forth], you are in fact in a cult.

Politicians aren't your friends. Donald Trump is not your friend.

It's okay—necessary—to call them out when they lose the plot. (Because any variation of "Trust the Plan™" is utterly worthless after the whole QAnon debacle.)
