ReaganIn fact....... can't recall the last time a national election had overwhelming pour out for one side or the other that I would call a mandate.
All the way back to Bush 1, and further, all elections I can recall where rather narrow. America has been split down the middle for sometime and America hasn't given a leader a mandate in some, some time.
Nothing against Trump.
Just something I've noticed. Like, the last, 6 elections, left or right candidates, narrow margins.

You just proved my point.
You had to go back decades to find a true mandate given to a president by the American people.
It seems after him candidate left or right where split down the middle in voting results. Can't recall the American people voting overwhelming for one candidate or another after Reagan.
Which is my only and one point I am trying to make here.
Ready for this? Statistical tie for biggest wins in the USA Reagan and……NIXON. Yep. Post Civil War those two each ran 49 states. Nixon had zero chance of losing the election and they still bugged the Watergate Hotel., just insane.
I’m sorry but I’ve been hearing this for as long as I’ve been alive
Did you read what I wrote?
“If they wont help stop a terrorist regime from gaining nuclear weapons (any day now or a year or two)”
That was a swipe at every administration in the USA and Israel for constantly saying “..a month away” or “Days away”
Im not disagreeing. Im not as big a knuckle head as you might believe. Ok I lied: I probably am knuckle head, but not about this.

I’ve defended the war on Iran, but yeah this rhetoric is absolutely unacceptable.
That does seem a bit of a challenge to put a positive spin on it…
The only thing I have is Im positive their willing be sufficient breeding pairs that survive to keep Terrorism Inc and Mr Biggles alive.
Trumps just making up for almost 50 years of Persians ending every public statement with “…and Death to America”
Not death to an American but death to the entire country. Kinda sounds like genocide to me. I didnt see anyone complaining about that yesterday.
Kinda seems worse to call for it in earnest for 50 years than a week as hyperbole.

Yeah excuse me for holding Donald Trump to a higher standard than the Ayatollah of Iran, my mistake there.
Sorry my bad I got defensive the internet’s fucked these days
While this is wrong on a few levels, you are not wrong on the basic structure of the argument. As much as I have a distaste for Trump, I would not say he is entirely “not there.”
I wanted to say this earlier, if people watch videos of Trump over the last 30 years, whether on TV, in interviews, or in public appearances, even during what some would call his “prime,” he was still a rambling loudmouth who talked big, talked smack, spoke on things he clearly did not fully understand, and ran with whatever came into his head.
Again, I am not trying to turn this into a hit job or a party politics argument.
If we are being genuine in our analysis here, then the more honest conclusion is that this is not some dramatic break from how Trump has always acted or talked.
Itis the same basic guy, with the same instincts, the same loose mouth, and the same habit of saying whatever is in his head at the moment.

We don't want or need them to fight with us; we would like overflight permission and the use of OUR airbases that we built.
They impeached him twice!, tried to bankrupt him, put him in prison and tried to kill him twice. What do you mean no consequences!
That's why he got my vote. Not a polished politician that's been doing it for like 50 years. This dumbass likes that dumbasses policies.

This one is my favorite.While this is wrong on a few levels... You are not wrong on the basis or structure. As much as I have a distaste (understatement) for Trump, he is not someone I would say is entirely 'not there'...
In fact. Wanted to say this earlier...
If people watch any video of Trump over the last 30 years weather it be on TV shows, even during his 'prime' as you could say he was even then a bamblin moron who talked a lot of game/talked smack/didn't know what he was talking about but still commented anyways and ran with whatever came to his mind.
Again. NOT TRYING TO MAKE THIS a hit job or about party politics.
IF WE ARE BE GENUINE IN OUR ANALYTICS HERE then given his past commentary over the last 30 years. I would say nothing has changed how Trump acts or talks, even when he was in his 30 years like 40 years ago, same... 'guy'.
Hope I didn't offend anyone/start drama.

have we ever considered “whom” President Trump is speaking to?
He’s speaking to the sycophants of the IDGC and Ayatollah’s
Contrast how they deliver public declarations to President Trumps declarations.
For us it’s apocalyptic. for the IRGC and its adherents it’s how transactions and negotiations are carried out.
Does no one remember from StarTrek how much effort and purpose had to be used to communicate to alien races?

That is irrelevant. It met the constitutional requirements for selection.

But arguably it did not represent the will of the people. It merely satisfied Constitutional requirements. But this argument occurred already and I landed on the conclusion that we should use another measure for keeping or removing a President.
