A DRUNK as DEFENSE SECRETARY? Hegseth?

@sonhouse said
Funny how you flip from post to post, one post you say I am right about the choice of Hegseth as defense czar and the next it is a matter for senators to decide totally ignoring the fact that Trump REGULARLY threatens those who vote against him with ruining their political careers, THAT IS BULLYING no matter how you slice it.

Disection of your Post:

Yes, I did say that Hegseth is probably not a good choice, that, you are right.
THEN (hard for you to reckon) I said it is up to Senators to decide.
Sonhouse what in the WORLD is wrong or incorrect or lying or disingenuous or conflicting about my two statements. You will find both to be right on. Geez. Chicken feeding time.

THEN !!!,,,you change subjects. Why, I have never seen that happen in the Forum. You say this:

totally ignoring the fact that Trump REGULARLY threatens those who vote against him with ruining their political careers, THAT IS BULLYING no matter how you slice it.
Tell your readers what this is all about .. I already know, please don't tell me. 🙂

Of course you don't want to know about the bullying by Trump which we ALL have seen time and time again, for instance the tirades against the Freeman family, mother AND daughter harassed by Trump and Rudy and now Rudy has to pay 150 mil just as one sick ass example. And Trump regularly bullied his own senators who dared to either criticize him or vote against his bills like the recent vote to NOT get Matt Gaetz in office, he literally threatened HIS senators with ending their political careers and they are on HIS side. So imagine what he does to his enemies? This is the DEFINITION of bullying and for you to say otherwise says you are not and never have been a lawyer.

That is not the def, so I guess I am not a lawyer. Do you know that liberals innately use the queer little word bully? There are quite a few more descriptive adjectives about taking advantage, from a tough kid in kindergarten to chicken farmers. Here are some examples. I would use one of these words, maybe coerce. Bully? Who says bully? Never have heard it in normsl coversation.
"Just because he is our boss does not give him the right to putt out of turn. He is a bully." Naaa, i can't see it.
For Trump, I would prob say 'put the squeeze on'., in re the senators. That is business in the Capitol.

Trump did, does and will do ALL of the above but you are too superglued to his brain to see any of that since he is in fact your fuuking deity, you worship him just as much as hoot.
You could NEVER be an unbiased speaker to testify in court, they would laugh you out the door.

However, we can count on Sonhouse to be un-biased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did you ever get the idea I was unbiased? OF COURSE I am biased and proud of it,
I think Trump is an incompetent boob and the proof of that is tonight's vote in the house, 36 REPUBS and all the dems voted against the bill designed to eliminate the debt ceiling, which was pushed by MUSK and now it appears since he is worth literally a half a TRILLION dollars they are saying MUSK is president and Trump is VP.
MTG put out a message saying to make Elon Musk the speaker of the house.
Musk doesn't give a rats ass about regular folks and WANTS a government shutdown, no planes flying, no checks to fed workers, but that is what Musk wants and there are a lot of politicians afraid of the results of Musk getting apparently more power than Trump.

Trump tried to stick in the no debt limit in a bill that already had bipartisan support and even the repubs said no to that.
Of course Trump wanted to have no debt ceiling because he could vote in yet another multi trillion dollar tax give away because he learned the hard way a tax cut greatly effecting the billionaire set last time ended up with the biggest increase in the national debt than any before so now he wants to head it off at the pass and get an unlimited debt ceiling so he can do his next tax cut knowing full well he has to make up those trillions somewhere and that would be in the form of loans mainly from China so like I said, forty Trillion dollar debt will come about for real. It looks like Musk is in many ways more dangerous than Trump himself and that says something.

Bias: You accused me of bias. But you say you are biased. So, is it OK, with you that is, that I am biased?. It would follow that it is OK with you, so , what in HELL are you sayin wih your stupid post.? Sonhouse?

Your 2nd para is suggesting, saying, that Musk is influencing Trump. Maybe he is or ain't, but Sonhouse, ...follow me here......you have told all of us that Trump does not listen to anybody. Were you lying? Lying to AvJoe!?!? I will whip your butt if you lied to me.

Your 3rd post is absolutely devoid of content. Anf I KNOW, don't think, that the debt ceiling is going to be raised. Don't think.


The rest of your post is daring to dissect the intent and minds of these two men. With all due respects, what you 'think' is just not going to fill up my knife dreaer I just hate it. I 'think' that Biden was a mental mess from day ONE and it is being divulged this very day, that his staff has been running this countyr. Hey Sonhouse, tell us what you THINK about that. You will have to tell us that he was NOT non compos mentis, (not of soound mind) . Can you do that and put yourself in a corner??

Trump is re-wiring Washington. Who is president, anyway? Elon is handing power back to the people.

Your bias comes about because you gave your mind and soul 100% to Trump and there is no going back for you.
If I find out biden did something horrible like Trump stealing hundreds of TS docs, I would dump Biden as soon as it was proven but you just abrogate your thinking to Trump, whatever he says, whatever he does, you just go this is beyond me, so it is Trump saying or doing XYand Z Therefore I follow unquestioning any of it.
THAT is the difference between us. I NEVER gave up researching the motives of politicians and scientists and it is abundantly clear Biden has something Trump NEVER HAD AND NEVER WILL, Empathy for other humans.
I keep thinking of the time the Puerto Rican hurricane hit them like a bomb and what did Trump do? Throw fuuking paper towels at the crowd in one of the most vile photo ops I ever saw, well maybe up there with him showing an upside down bible in that photo op where he asked why don't we shoot those protesters in the leg.
THAT is your bully POTUS Trump.

Read what you wrote here. What are you going crazy about? And the paper towels, maybe ill-begotten, maybe you hated it, maybe I liked it as did his marketing staff who handed him the towels. Do you think he stopped in at grocery store and bought towels? He mixed with his fans, little feller. Uhh, I think it worked. Have you any idea how great our country would be had Covid not knocked out his presidency. Or, put another way, would the market and economy have surged if Kamala was elected? And just discount the day's market and voting activities, it is just a bump in the road. Of course Trump will get his way, the will be no debt ceiling.
Biden is not the only one with road managers, you know

His unlimited debt ceiling is gone. It seems Musk is now the acting president and Trump is VP. What do you think about that?

Musk personally tweeted to several dozen republicans urging them to vote no and let the government shut down but they produced SOME balls and refused to allow a shutdown. At least till next March.
You really need to get out more often, your head buried in the sand just means one thing, your head is in deep doo doo, totally asleep while the world goes to hell in a handbasket.
I guess you WANT it to be that way so you don't have to actually think through the actions of a would be POTUS.
The house at least gave Musk a full no and kept the government from the fracturing of people letting the government go unfunded which would have happened, like millions of our military would not get Jan paychecks and Air traffic controllers would be on forced vacation, no planes flying.
Just SOME of the consequences of a government shutdown.

There you go again, Trump says X and we tell you Trump says X but you play the ignorant game.

The hitch is, that when you write “Trump says X”, it is out of context, as you take it as totally serious. This confuses Kmax, Zahlanzi, sue et al. We will make Canada a state, or some such. Settle, man, we are too busy, debate-wise, to thresh out the wheat from the chaff.
Writing in present-tense, peppered with facts (“Trump did so-so- because…”???), would score far more Forum cred.
Just sayin’
