Literally every conversation I've had with a Trump hater about the upcoming election:
Hater: I can't wait to get Donald Trump out of office.
Me: Why?
Hater: Why?!?! Don't tell me you don't think he colluded with Russia!
Me: According to Robert Mueller's exhaustive, multi-million dollar investigation, there was no evidence of that. But there was evidence that the Obama administration spied on him and his campaign using the FBI.
Hater: Well, he said he'd repeal and replace Obamacare. What happened to that?
Me: Well, he removed the tax penalty which removes the mandate. Congress now just has to move with it's replacement. He can't do it by Executive Order. You do know Obama had very little to do with the writing of the ACA, right?
Hater: Well, he said he'd build a wall and Mexico was gonna pay for it. Haha. What happened to that?
Me: They've built over 260 miles of new wall so far and he's renegotiated NAFTA costing Mexico billions of dollars that were given to them by Bill Clinton through the returning of jobs in America.
Hater: Well, that's not them paying for it!
Me: BILLIONS. Did you think he literally meant Mexico was gonna write a check with "Wall" in the memo?
Hater: Well, he's buddy buddy with Putin and Kim Jung Un.
Me: Getting along with your adversaries is not a bad thing. Or would you prefer he antagonize them? BTW, when was the last "test missile" North Korea sent Japan's way?
Hater: Well, he doesn't like the military! He called the dead soldiers "losers!"
Me: You're referring to a report made from "anonymous sources" when over nine people who were with the President that have gone on record saying that it wasn't true? That doesn't send up any red flags for you?
He's brought our Vets home and taken great strides, and put a lot of money into fixing the VA, ask any veteran you know. Funny way to treat people you think are "losers," don't you think?
Hater: Well, he got impeached for God's sake!
Me: Yes, impeached by a partisan House and subsequently acquitted as there was no evidence that the President did anything wrong (no quid pro quo) in his communication with the President of Ukraine. BTW, you know Joe Biden actually admitted on national television to doing that exact thing while he was in office as VP though, right?
Hater: Well he handled COVID horribly!
Me: What would've you done differently?
Hater: He didn't close the borders in time!
Me: He announce travel restrictions on 1/31 and was called xenophobic for doing so, all the while Nancy Pelosi and Bill Deblasio were walking in Chinatown telling everyone to come on down, the water is fine.
Hater: Well, he refused to wear a mask.
Me: Here's a picture of him wearing a mask.
Hater: Well, that was too far after!
Me: After what? He had two of his experts on national TV every day giving updates and telling everyone to wear a mask?
Hater: Well, he said everything will be fine and this will end!
Me: Did you want him to run around screaming that the sky was falling?
Hater: Well, listen to the way he talks! He's nasty! He's not how I want my President to sound.
Me: Ahhh. NOW we're getting somewhere. You don't like his personality. And everything you've mentioned up until now is because you don't like his personality.
So for you it seems personal and not about the job he's done.
So listen, if you want a President who will tell you whatever you want to hear, flip- flopping on every issue, not getting anything done his entire time while in office, but who sounds like a nice guy (even though he seems seriously impaired), then Joe Biden is definitely your man.

You just described me, I don't like President Trump personally, his personality, I don't like his ego, I don't like his tweeting, I don't like his brash attitude, I don't like a lot of things about him but, he has similar priorities to my own and he's tried to keep his campaign promises. Yeah, even though I don't care for him much, I'm looking forward to another four years of his administration. Former VP Biden is simply a puppet for someone else pulling his strings. Yep, the President has my full support. I'm not confident he'll repeat but, I'm doing all I can to make it happen. Rams |

Mind if I copy this and post it on my FB page? I went in deep with a couple of Bidophiles today, so this ought to make their heads smoke a little more than they already did.
As a side note, I think I'm starting to enjoy this a little too much. In the middle of the back-and-forth bickering, I find myself smiling; like, way too happy about it.

But, I don't think, like a liberal.... Punctuation is your friend... Punctuation can also be your enemy if used incorrectly. Your punctuation "correction" changes the entire meaning of the statement. In essence, it says liberals don't think....something I don't personally believe. By turning the the statement around, i.e., "But, like a liberal, I don't think" and you get the same end result....an implication that libs don't think which is foolish. You're better off leaving it as originally written, the meaning of it is simply that he doesn't think like a liberal which makes more sense.  |

And before anyone starts hyperventilating, it was a bit tongue in cheek. |

It's true, even a simple colon can change the whole meaning of a sentence.

Or....how about this old one I used to use on my students. By merely changing/using a colon, it changes the meaning, much like the original posting above re. thinking. "Have some honey with your watermelon." Or.... "Have some, honey, with your watermelon." Willow....sounds like one of Yoda's english classes. |
