How old is this guy, Ten?

So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!

I suppose it is a spelling error

Much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama. Mueller is most conflicted of all (except Rosenstein who signed FISA & Comey letter). No Collusion, so they go crazy!

he sounds like a conservative snowflake

I didn't lurk like you did - and now you can't control your temper anymore so you post. But you have nothing intelligent to say so you just comment on other people's posts.

Not even close - you ONLY comment on people's posting style - like an old lady. Every time WDMSO posts something you get all snowflaky (cue TDF) and whine.

So do a lot of other people, including those who are not white. So, if the Alt right love ice cream, or turkey on thanksgiving, that must mean that everyone else that does are also White Nationalist Alt Right? Do you not like ice cream or turkey? Or anything that White Nationalists like?

BTW, Hitler didn't like all whites. He wasn't a white nationalist per se. More of a Germanic or Aryan Nationalist.


But words don’t matter

Of course words matter. But you don't truly understand that. You don't recognize the difference in a word when it is used in a different context. You don't understand that a word can mean different things depending on how it is used. In a different way that changes its meaning. It's not a difficult concept to understand. A 6th grader should be able to understand it.

But I think you actually do understand that. You simply and obstinately refuse to admit what is obvious because it doesn't suit your preferred image of Trump.

There are different meanings to the word "nationalist." Such as these copied from The Free Dictionary:

"nationalist – nationalistic – patriotic
1. 'national'
National is used to describe something that belongs to or is typical of a particular country or nation.
...the national economy.
...changes in the national diet.
2. 'nationalist'
Nationalist is usually a noun. A nationalist is someone who tries to obtain political independence for his or her country.
...Basque nationalists.
You can also use nationalist as an adjective to describe people, movements, or ideas."

These are general definitions. The word, obviously, can be used in a totally specific manner. It is probably used most often in a specifically negative sense. And so those who hate, or dislike, or "despise" Trump, fervently stick to the negative meaning even in the face of Trumps stated meaning of his type of nationalism. I can only think that this is a deliberate, intentional trick to make it appear that Trump is admitting to be some Alt Right, Nazi like, fascist, racist, xenophobe.


Lives can be quantified as dollars
The short term result is all that counts

That sounds interesting but undirected in a meaningful way.

I don’t hate the Con, despise would be accurate
You’ll figure it out sooner or later

I didn't have to figure it out. You specifically spelled it out and I believe you. I'll try to remember that you "despise" not that you "hate" him.

Maybe you'll be able to figure out the difference between the Trump/Bannon spelled out form of nationalism and the Alt Right and Hitler type of nationalism. It's not difficult to understand. I think you can do it.

I look at the incessant finger pointing and blaming other cultures and religions for all our problems and it looks hauntingly similar.

Well if that doesn't just make your blood boil

Can't understand how all of America isn't outraged over this, this could be the impeachable offense we've all been waiting for.

Wayne, take some time for you. No news that will trouble,just you. On tv watch sports or game shows. The radio is only for music. Clear out the cobwebs and hug your family if they made it past the border agents.

It's amazing how many things you can twist in one sentence to create an appearance. That would be hauntingly similar to lying.

Actually, I believe it is only a short step or two from the Miller/Bannon form of Nationalism to bad outcomes.
But that wouldn't be their fault.

Aren't we all a short step or two from bad outcomes? But we carry on the best we can.
