Now the only platform the DNC has is Anti-Trumpism, which is little more than hatred and paranoia. — NOS4A2

This is a silly thing to say and false and possibly a lie.

It was hysterical, whatever it was. It proves to me the saltiness and hatred of the anti-Trump faction. I hate to accuse others of being “triggered”, but Pelosi’s very public display was the epitome of it. — NOS4A2

I also liked watching nervous Nancy get the snub. Quite a sight. — NOS4A2

This "spectacle" that you so enjoy seems very much like a football game, for which you are rooting for your team. When team Trump says or does something rude or obnoxious, he's "fighting back". When the other team responds in kind, it's something bad ("salty", "hatred").

Trump has dragged the game into the gutter. Sure, people hate him - he gives them many good reasons to do so (would you like a list?) I contrast this with the hatred many Republicans have toward people like Pelosi and Schiff - it's rooted entirely in political disagreement.

It is correct to hate the bad man. It is better to apply justice and remove the bad man to the place where he can do little or no harm.

It's interesting: there are many methodologies for protecting persons and property from a bad man, but when he operates with another, then it becomes much more difficult. You, nos4, while I doubt Trump will ever hurt you directly, has already hurt you indirectly, but you smile as he befouls you. For you and your like, you deserve what you get: you want it; you work for it; you earn it. And when, having got your desserts, your own horror paralyzes you, part of that will be your realization that you cannot be saved.

in this you're but a pennywhistle Faustus, and no angels.

Actually it’s true, it’s all they have left. What you’re witnessing is the self destruction of the Democrats.

Investigating corruption. What a joke. Suddenly Trump, the most corrupt in history, is interested in corruption? Please.

That doesn’t mean there’s no corruption, does it? See the blindness.

I hope all those who got their panties in a twist over the show trial that was 'impeachment' can now move on and actually give a shit about things that matter.

So boring can't believe anyone could watch this.

True. :shade:

History never looks kindly on the inquisitors, Tim. This is because persecution is unjust and cruel. That this mostly reactionary persecution has failed at every moment is eye opening, not only because of the resilience of the persecuted but also because of the unmitigated folly of his persecutors.

In the meantime, Trump is at his highest job approval rating and there is record-high optimism in personal finances. while Congress abused the system to furtively seek dirt on their president, he was giving us USMCA and massive Chinese trade deals.

it's rooted entirely in political disagreement. — Relativist

What disagreement? I mean, when's the last time there was any policy discussion where you could have meaningful disagreement?

Must be wonderful living in spin world.

I'm Spartacus!

You're... dead?

Its satire, in the film, everyone who was on the same side as him stood up and claimed to be Spartacus in the expectation of certain death, to save him. Is this what the republicans senators are doing?

Somehow it doesn't have the same gravitas. How Ironic that Spartacus dies the same day that the senate falls from grace.

While at Trump's victory rally today he shouts,

I'm Spartacus

In the meantime, Trump is at his highest job approval rating — NOS4A2

W H O P E E ! ! !

Highest approval ratings of sitting US Presidents:

G.W.Bush 90%
G.H.W.Bush 89%
Truman 87%
JFK 83%
F.D. Roosevelt 83%
Johnson 79%
Eisenhower 77%
Carter 74%
Clinton 73%
Reagan 71%
Ford 70%
Obama 69%
Nixon 66%
TRUMP 49%! :starstruck:

Oh you have to pop the champagne for this one, NOS4A2. I can see how you with your fellow Americans are cherishing this moment of coming together, holding hands and singing Kumbayah on this moment of true national unity in the approval of the sitting US President.

It's all so evident even from this small forum for Philosophy.

I couldn't be fucked to get these facts because anything to do with nos4a2 is a waste of time. But yeah, relevant for other readers I suppose.

You surely aren't going to change NOS4A2's views, only a tiny majority even of this forum will listen to others and have the ability to learn and change their views, but it's worth to put things into context.

True. I was trying to convey that many people demonize vocal members of the alternative party, solely because they belong to, and advocate for, that alternative party. It's shallow and chauvinistic.

Consider Pelosi. She's a smart, effective politician. No scandals. And yet, many Republicans demonize her.

The point was to show that impeachment didn’t work, that he’s getting his best job approval rating, not to say he had the best job approval rating of all time. He’s on track to win again. That means you’re on track to lose. But I wouldn’t expect you to properly represent my arguments, ssu.

that he’s getting his best job approval rating, not to say he had the best job approval rating of all time. — NOS4A2

His best job approval rating means jack shit.

His best job approval rating means jack shit.

So do your opinions, but you don’t see me complaining.

Who was complaining? You're such an underachiever that you celebrate a president for the worst job approval rating in recent history. It's sad really.

The only way you can continue on believing your own nonsense is to misrepresent your opponents arguments, essentially creating a cocoon of fantasy to protect you from the real world.

I'm sorry but what the fuck are you replying to? I'm not misrepresenting anything; I'm telling you that the fact his job approval rating isn't as abysmally low as before is nothing to celebrate. The fact that you are, is sad. Dressing up a turd, doesn't make it anything other than a turd.

It is definitely something to celebrate. Trump’s approval rating is going up despite being impeached. It didn’t even slow him down, and he was able to pass massive trade deals while your legislators legislated nothing.

What do they put in the water where you live?

Trump is dunking on his haters today.

Love it,

It didn’t even slow him down, and he was able to pass massive trade deals while your legislators legislated nothing.

Wrong! It was a bipartisan bill brought to his desk for signature.

Oh, quick question NOS: You're a Dumpertrumper and want to get your take on this. He's scheduled to make an announcement today on the controversial acquittal. Why can't he publicly articulate more important/normal things like other controversial political policies and legislation... ? Is he that narcissistic where he consistently shows his need to make himself feel or look good? I mean, he does this all the time...at the veterans hospital where instead of consoling veteran's he talks about crowd size, etc...

Bonus question: was Mitt Romney wrong?
