You missed the point. By his mud slinging Trump is acting the New York schmuck...not good for the cause.

Every word of what you wrote is true so I’m quoting it in its entirety to make sure that DeStablishment’s supporters don’t miss it:


There is nothing petty nor juvenile about calling out someone who changes the pronunciation of their own name. Such an affectation points to shallow character at best, being untrustworthy most likely.

I understand someone changing pronunciation of their name if they move to a country where the word may have a different meaning but what DeSantis shows we’re not dealing with him but with his handlers. He’s just another actor in government pretending to serve his constituents while actually serving those who are pulling his strings.

It’s not a coincidence that Kamala Harris got caught doing the same thing. (Kuh-mal-uh vs Kaa-mell-uh)

“His failure to fire Fauchi and Brix after Labor Day will draw the ire of many still angry over the COVID-19 lockdowns.”

COVID is a dead issue. All the restrictions are over. Everyone made mistakes and everyone knows that. It’s water under the bridge.

Rob is going to have another DeSaster if he thinks this will work as a thing to criticize Trump for, especially given his own hypocrisy.

The DEMS will attack him on giving immunity to Big Pharma, RFK Jr. is already laying the ground work on it.

And a friendly reminder, you forgot to rebut Trump signing off on raising the debt limit to our National GDP.

Kennedy will go nowhere. He’s just a grifter. Whatever he says is irrelevant to most people.

“And a friendly reminder, you forgot to rebut Trump signing off on raising the debt limit to our National GDP.”

I don’t recall Trump ever endorsing that idea. I recall him talking about default for weeks. But I haven’t followed his statements the past few days.

[ If ] you want to go up against a boy from Queens, you have to say ‘it’s a complement’. >p>Well said, stanne!

These nicknames are golden because they are catchy and have a kernel of truth to them.

Remember Lyin' Ted for Ted Cruz?  I remember how Trump took pains to correct people at his Rally saying, "It's not Lying Ted, it's Lyin' Ted.  The apostrophe cuts Cruz some slack.  After all, everybody lies.

Likewise, "DeSanctimonious" is ingenious.  Everybody knows lawyers love to use big words.  So the nickname has a ring of truth to it.  And that's what the Joe Six-Packs and Jill Wine-Coolers remember.

An effective nickname for an opponent is worth many millions of dollars in campaign treasure.

WAR means FIGHTING - bombs, guns, knives, blood, guts, death.

Please point to the same and I don’t mean rioters randomly going hog wild and they’re not really hurting any conservatives, just whoever happens to be in the way (mostly fellow commies).

Stop obfuscating. AKA rhetoric, AKA hyperbole, etc. We KNOW what “war” means.

No it’s not. It’s not dead. Medical “heroes” are still demanding people wear masks and do screenings and not come in if (gasp) you have sniffles or fever or all those other things people USUALLY come to a doctor for. Cowards and tyrants.

Many in the last month HAVE finally given up this nonsense, but even if your doctors stopped, our citizens are still wearing the damn masks everywhere - liberals abound here and they still happily go on with this garbage. Half of people are in masks.

No one cares if other people want to wear masks. There are no mandates. And even WHO has said COVID is not a pandemic. Everyone is sick of talking or even thinking about COVID. It’s a dead issue for almost everyone.

Let’s be honest though, only Noem did not close things down as well. Only she has the right to criticize others for lockdowns and mandates.

"President Trump won by a landslide, but idiots and fools continue to spread the Deep State Swamp Dwellers lies."

Because it's true if you really, really want it to be. Even though Trump has done basically nothing to challenge the election.

You are obviously not familiar with Sun Tzu and "The Art of War."

Sun Tzu believed that the ultimate goal of war should be to win without engaging in direct combat...to defeat an enemy (taking control of his territory, people, assets) by psychological warfare, propaganda, deception, intelligence operations, intimidation, stating that the highest skill is to subdue the enemy without physical engagement.

Sun Tzu says, “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy--break his resistance--without fighting.”

No destruction, no cities have been seized, and no blood has been shed. This is the supreme art of war.

This is how the Left is waging war against America. This is how they are winning.

I can see why you would want to define war narrowly--in a way that ignores what is happening in America today. Your candidate is too inexperienced to defeat the enemy that is waging war on America.

Nonsense. War is war. You are talking metaphors. Stop it.

Fish or cut bait. Are you serious? Then start literally, and not figuratively, fighting.

"Stop it"???

LOL.

What are you, a little girl?

You are trying to dumb down what is going on in America so you can understand it and your candidate appears able to handle it.

"Stop it" "Please...just stop it." "Mommy, make him stop it."

Grow up, Fancy Pants.

Just because you can't understand it doesn't change the reality of it.

So you don't think Marxists/Democrats/theDeepState in America are involved in an effort to destroy our country?

Where is this wonderful rock you have been living under?

Just because you are incapable of seeing reality doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Are you are Jeb Bush buttbuddy? He sounds like you...living in the past.

BTW, the fact that the Left is engaged in a war to destroy our country, our society, our culture IS NOT A METAPHOR!

A person who cannot see that would have to be very stupid...or just very dishonest.

I don't think you are stupid (but you are certainly trying to prove me wrong).

Enough. I am not stupid or dishonest, I’m a big girl, not a little one, and I am more conservative than 99% of “conservatives”. It is obvious there is a METAPHORICAL war on America - I’ve lived it all my life in LiberalLand; I see it daily and hear it daily unlike so many blowhards here who think it’s easy to win over people in their “red” states and “red” centers, so don’t tell me I have no clue. As far as claws and fangs genuinely out - no. Perhaps they should be, but I don’t see anyone actually stepping over that line in the sand.
