    Take a lesson from grade school and show your work then. Without it it appears that you in fact are just another idiot.

      If you want to assert that the guy's shit you have to lay out a case as to why, otherwise you're just talking out your ass like everyone else who knows fuck all about what any presidents have actually done but has amazingly strong feelings on the matter.

        I've done it, otherwise wouldn't have reach the idea "worst president that I can remember".
        Exposing it it's a matter of cost/benefit for me and my assessment against "laying out the case" is too long, with many factors based on my personal experience.
        Start from the "Politics - the art of the possible" and the foolishness in thinking that he can make a deal in any circumstances only because he's Trump.

        otherwise you're just talking out your ass like everyone else who knows fuck all about what any presidents have actually done but has amazingly strong feelings on the matter.

        I beg to disagree, but that's another inconsequential matter.
        Still doesn't make me (or anyone doing so) an idiot.

        Now, homework for you: go back to my remark (the one with 'a stupid reason to elect Trump or anyone') and tell me what in there lead you to believe I'm sharing blindly a partisan belief (even more, in a game I have no stake).

          That one comment was just the latest in a longass line of snarked up shit without even bothering to explain what he's done that makes him worse than any other president. If you have actual substantial beefs, air them. If not, the line for the idiot club membership cards forms to the left.

            Incidentally, my first on the thread and addressing one point and one point only.

            If you have actual substantial beefs, air them.

            So I did, in regards with the reason for electing Trump or anyone else.

            If not, the line for the idiot club membership cards forms to the left.

            Well, fuck you too, buddy.
            Just an advice, offered free - don't believe for a second that you appear anything different than an idiot, no matter the hand side you queue on. I have a hunch the you may not be an actual idiot, but I can't be sure.

              He's one of those walking illustrations of the INT/WIS stat split, that's his issue. He's not unintelligent, he's *stupid,* willfully so. That's worse somehow, because it's a choice.

        No they don't. If you want to assert that everyone owes you an explanation for their opinions you will have to lay out a case as to why first.

          Because they're not going to convince anyone otherwise unless they do. Which is the point of arguing, unless you're just doing it to fling metaphorical shit at people for fun.
