"People will believe what they choose to believe often despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary."

The truest thing you have ever written.     

While I tend to disagree with the degree of the superlative we do agree in concept.  I had you in mind, Ron, when I typed it.   

[G-Man]

"Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt."

OK, so then defend yourselves against the rest of the world in stead of depending on the US.  Manufacture your own cars and goods, instead of American cars and goods (that stole OUR jobs).  Stop your one way dependence on the US, then you won't have to worry about the elephant.  

When has Canada depended on the USA for their defense ? They also have plenty of manufacturing. Seems we want to alienate all our friends and allies lately. And lube up for the Rooskies.

I didn't quote YOU.

I did not reply to YOU.

Please leave me alone!

Please don't message me.

[f6john]

Which you describe as his positive qualities ?

He's putting America first! He wants to restore our place in the world. He's not bowing down to anyone. He want's to see economic growth for everyone. He wants to work with Congress, he wants that most elusive of commodities in our land, COMPROMISE!

By the way, I also see positive qualities in you too!

[DirtyDan]

When has Canada used the USA for protection ?

Just the whole time it has existed

Either Great Britain or the USA

Canada has 1/10th of the population of the US. But we've always done our fair share when our allies are attacked. See WWII, when we were actively involved before anyone else in the Western Hemisphere. See Afghanistan when we did our share responding to an ally being attacked.

I think you're reading something into my reply to Britman that simply isn't there.  Let me paraphrase the discussion I've been involved with, from my point of view:

f6john:  What is the problem people have with Trump other than a personal dislike for the man in general?

Me:  He's a narcissist, which affects the way he does everything.

f6john:  Let's say that's all true. Is he and his vision good for America?

Me:  His bombastic, off-the-cuff way he does everything negatively affects his ability to achieve his own ends, domestically and internationally.  America's image in the eyes of both her allies and her enemies is sinking.

Britman (heavily paraphrased, because this is the only way I can make sense of what he actually said):  Because you are not American, you have no right to comment on anything American, and besides, you have no skin in the game.

Me:  Because Canada is small compared to the US, and the US is our largest partner in anything international, virtually anything the US does has a direct or indirect impact on Canada.  Canadians need to pay attention to what American leadership is doing.

You:  Well, if you feel that way, why don't you sue for divorce?

Me:  Say, what?

[The emperor has no clothes]

[Tony C.]

Man, talk about a leading question. 

Agreed. I wouldn't know where to begin. I'll start with my opinion that Trump's a serial liar and not trustworthy.  In the long run his policies will end up hurting his base much more than the "elites".

Serial liar and not trustworthy. Sounds like a career politician, can you imagine whose face popped into my head when I read that! I also didn't know that his intention was to hurt the "elites" or his base for that matter or to pick winners and losers.

[Jabba]

  I'm certainly glad no one has had an open mike every time I've been in private conversation with another man.

I have said this over and over. I am certainly glad that I don't have a mike on me all the time.

I'd be willing to bet, that almost EVERY one of us reading this has said worse in private conversation, knowing full well that we would NEVER do such a thing.

Well, except for Motomama.  I'm convinced she has never said anything aloud about grabbing a young woman's genitals.

I've been confused anyway about the fascination with that.  The handfuls are generally upstairs.

By the way, I am one of the "almost EVERY" and "worse".

She might be innocent of the specific charge listed, but in the wise words of Lennon and McCartney, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and my Monkey...

[Jabba]

Over the years I have had many very close platonic, female friends. Generally speaking they are a lot more crass, and rude than my male buddies have been. Just not as loud, or in places where folks can hear. This is yet another things that provides evidence of their superiority over us men.

Without the US, the entire western hemisphere wouldn't look like it does now.  It is due the size and might of the US military that most of the free world remains free.  Yes, Canada and England, and sometimes France and others have stepped up and helped, but no way are any of them contributing as the US has. 

Not sure how anyone can deny this. 

This is not an attack on Canada, just giving one small reason why Canada and other countries can spend a whole lot more percentage wise on social programs.  They don't have the responsibility of a world leading military.

So, while the other person, who feels he just HAS stick his nonsense into EVERY SINGLE POST on this site, was wrong for doing it here, he didn't even contribute to this particular discussion.  But yes, we appreciate you.

Trump's problem with women has more to do with him cheating on his wives, saying he could "grab them by the pussies" than any feminism or women wanting their men pussy whipped.

Do you have any proof that he cheated on his wives?? Any facts?? So he said "grab them by the pussy", it was locker room talk, can you or anyone give up any proof he actually grabbed anyone by the pussy?? And by proof I don't mean someone who was way out of his league saying it happened with no witnesses or proof 30yrs ago.

On the other side, you have Hillaries husband who actually went around the White House, grabbing young interns by the pussy, and sticking cigars in side of them, plus whatever else he did. Plus the husband of her closest aide sending Dick Pics of himself to little girls, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

They have been investigating Trump for months on end now and have found ZERO proof of anything, and are now grasping at straws investigating the investigations. Trump fired the FBI asshat under advisement from the Atty. General, now the Atty General is investigating why Trump fired the FBI asshat. Jesus Christ, I know all the left folks are Butt-hurt, but get over it, all the left side leaders have so much slime on them it is ridiculous. Let the country come together and fix whatever needs fixing. This country was badly run and about driven into bankruptcy over the past 8yrs, our image with the world has been reduced to that of a weakling, we have alot of work that needs to be done, work that is being held up by a bunch of whiny crybabies. We either need to get it together, or tear each other apart. Do we really need another Civil War int this country right now???

Barry, it's just an act of defeat. Some can not even admit he cheated on his wives, or that he said inappropriate things about women. The OP was putting forth an idea that he had a problem with women voters because of feminism and women wanting their men pussy whipped. Seems a much simpler explanation to me. It's no big deal, it really matters nothing. It is funny how some can't admit any faults with the guy though.

[Patrick]

He is not the only President to cheat on his wife.  So, whether Trump did it or not, there are others that certainly have. i don't know why or care why we are belaboring the point.

Of course the guy isn't perfect. No one is. For me there just hasn't been anything of consequence to preclude him from the Presidency. Legally or ethically.

Trump is a stereotypical New Yorker Guy. Brash and brazen. It can be a difficult attitude to accept.
He's had personal and business failures. He's had personal and business successes.

The media, Hollywood, and the Democrats have been in constant blitz mode against President Trump since he threw his hat in the ring. Glaringly obvious.
With a few exceptions the reporting of stories adverse to Trump and his administration are being based on anonymous, unknown, and ambiguous sources with the public not given any opportunity to actually vet these sources on our own.
Clearly these sources are not political allies of President Trump. Yet the Press gives them standing as if they are unbiased and righteous.

The media have lost much of their integrity in this. At least with me.

With Trump we have a lot of maybes, could haves, might haves, and possible this and possible that, all related to us through the media based on ambiguous and politically unfriendly sources. I'm not buying it.

On the other hand, in the Benghazi matter, and this being just one example, we actually have bodies. We actually have a false narrative that was promoted on multiple news shows by Hillary's state department and herself, attempting to give this false narrative momentum and a Justice Department with an obvious "stand off" policy when it came to anything related to the Obama Administration.

We actually have a body in the Fast and Furious matter too.

Do you see the difference in the dynamics of each case?
