Perhaps mjolnir, but you avoided my direct question even if your words imply that you are all about Party and play that sort of "game". If I may borrow a quote from a comedian, "Homey don't play that".

I'm sorry my friend, we ALL play that game. Every liberal head on here salivates at the chance to point out slight Trump foibles. You know that's true but can you admit it?

All politicians "stretch the truth" but when Trump was President it was more of game to keep track with the total being 30,000+. I have not see any total comparisions between Biden's versus Trump's lies but I would imagine the later is by far the winner.

That IMHO is not about Party Politics, that's about a specific person! In no way am I salivating over Trump negativity. I sincerely wish he was rarely ever in the news. I most definitely would rather his movement had not all but taken over what passes for conservative politics these days. Although in the past decades I have voted mostly Libertarian, I have also voted both Republican and Democrat a few times, in local and national elections. So no I do NOT play that game. I take no joy in ranting about either Democrat or Republican officials or prospects. It's simply the responsibility that comes with the right of Free Speech but I vastly prefer touting accolades than wrestling in the dirt. That used to be fairly balanced but now I am quite disturbed that hasn't been the case for about a decade. Both have far too many whackos for my equilibrium.

Your definition of "slight foibles" includes fraud, theft, rape, adultery and misuse of public funds???

You're in a cult, but you can't admit it can you?

Oh yes, the "slight foibles" at the heart of Trump's Immunity Claim. I seem to recall that being the subject of this thread. Which you started.

(You have got to be kidding me).

Please point to a post you have made that deals specifically with Trump's Immunity Claim and I might give it a comment.

The only 'cult' in this thread is a small minority most aptly described by "You can't handle the truth!" You know who you are. Trump, by the way, has not been convicted of rape.

No, “just” civilly liable for sexual assault. And defamation (same case). With his guilt proven in court beyond the balance of probabilities. So your “point” was a technically true but meaningless deflection. It obviously changes nothing. On Usenet, we called what you’re doing “arguing semantics”.

If this is what you call a “slight Trump foible” then yes you’re in a cult.

Detail matters, "So your “point” was a technically true" - technically true matters. Still waiting for you to point out your previous posts about "Trump's Immunity Case" after you whined about a thread in 'General' being off topic. Tic-Toc.

You just go ahead and keep lying. I’m not the one you’re making look bad.

(And before you respond defensively, ignore almost everything, and change the subject yet again: I want you to remember who else is in this thread. You know what I’m saying is true).

Point to a post you've made that is on topic. You can't so you are trying to get the thread locked by posting ad hominems.

If details matter, then you would have pointed out that Trump was proven in court to have committed sexual assault. You didn't. I did.

And btw, before you reply to this, you might want to consider whether or not you actually have anything to say.

The word your buddy used was 'rape.' That's incorrect and I pointed it out. Oh by the way, I did mention sexual assault (civil suit) in another thread. If you weren't too busy whining about 'off topic' posts in this thread and then posting nothing remotely on topic you might be cognizant of that fact.

One might recognize a problem when you have spent more comments defending your claims and previous comments than you have spent defending the convicted criminal.
