We could turn it back to some tech; what size lift do I need to run 33's on my D1-and will I need any other mods? Don't really want to take it offroad and can't afford new tires-but want the look.

My hats off to you for keeping up the resistance. When that stops it's going to get worse.

My question for McCain and Corker, why? Both of them have limited time and this is how they want to be remembered? Fighting and/or Provoking Trump? Bizarre indeed. McCain I can see maybe, but Corker?

Maybe because they see Trump as a threat to American ideals? A threat to our standing in the world? Just plain dangerous.

Because they put country above party or above self-aggrandizement; above just scoring political points. Ya know, what a real patriot is.

Trump is not well spoken, he picks fights and can't take the heat in the kitchen - that's Trump. Some/Many have seen these flaws and decided his message was better and the flaws could be overlooked.

My question for McCain and Corker, why? Both of them have limited time and this is how they want to be remembered? Fighting and/or Provoking Trump? Bizarre indeed. McCain I can see maybe, but Corker?

That's a great question; I think it speaks to an element you have noted-the lack of unity inside the GOP. In this case you have folks standing up (like the never Trump crew before the election, which is one of the main reasons why so many offices around here still aren't filled with qualified political appointees). Those that want to preserve their manuever room for future elections are scared to stand up. Corker and McCain don't have that concern.

So while some cast the lack of unity as a net positive in some fashion, conversely it is questionable if it is in the best interests of the country-the whole country. More acutely it manifests itself in an ability to accomplish things.

As far as Trump being Trump and such; ok-we have now returned back to where you and I were in the other thread. We got a Wendy's manager.

Dan,

I got a Christmas card from Trump last year way before he won or even had a prayer of winning. In the inside it said Merry Christmas and God Bless you and your family. No shit, I'll take a picture for those who don't believe me.

That's pretty cool.

Please tell me it was a Garfield card... :rofl:

Cheers,

Kennith

Do I think Trump is Patriotic? Yes.

Patriotic
: having or showing great love and support for your country : having or showing patriotism
patriotic songs/speeches
A patriotic fervor swept the country.


I'm not sure how you could say Trump is anything but patriotic, but I'd love to hear why you think this way. Does Trump not defend the Constitution? Does he not support the military? Does Trump not defend voting, free speech, or rallies/parades? Does Trump hate fireworks?

Patriot vs. bad American vs. traitor. I'm not sure what you consider Trump if you do not consider him a patriot.

Do I think Trump is raising this shit out of Patriotism?

I think it's tongue-and-cheek. I believe Trump thinks you should stand for the Anthem. I would also bet Trump feels you should bow your head for prayer, and I know for a fact Trump feels Americans should say Merry Christmas over Happy Holiday. These are Trump's values. While I don't feel Trump is Pope material, I do believe he has Christian values and I do think Trump is patriotic and he is voicing his message. He certinally has a unique way of doing/saying things sometimes, and it may be nontraditional and perhaps it's not even politically correct. I get a kick out of his unapologetic ways. It's a distraction to many, including yourself, but does it really matter? Are Trumps opinions or values hurting your way of life?

The same could be said for Colin Kapernick. Does him kneeling affect my way of life? Does it keep me awake at night knowing he keeled during the Anthem? No, I just think he's an asshole. I'm not going to buy his jersey. Big deal.

Maybe you're one of those people who thinks Trump is a racist because he's not behind the Colin Kapernick movement. I can't even remember what Kapernick's message is/was, so maybe I'm a racist, too, according to people who believe this. Personally I do not feel it is racist to think you should stand for the National Anthem. I think it makes you an asshole to sit/kneel during the National Anthem if you have the ability to stand when the Anthem is being played live.

I hope Trump keeps the pressure on. I hope that when Wal-Mart and Target and Amazon start their Christmas ads this year, if they use the words Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, I hope Trump calls them out just as he did the NFL over the National Anthem. I share these same values with Trump. I'm not a confirmed Catholic and I'm not a member of a church; I'm not a veteran of the military; I do not live to wave an American flag in a parade or visit nursing homes on veterans day. However, I do share American values with Trump and I agree with what's he said about the NFL and the National Anthem. I think a lot of people share these same values and Trump and myself are not alone. That does not make us bad American's, traitors, or racists?

Some believe Trump's comments on the NFL are a distraction. A distraction to what? Russia? Puerto Rico? Tax reform? Healthcare overhaul? Making America Crip again? Are Trump's comments a distraction to Kapernick's message? I don't get it, what's the distraction? Trump can talk for over an hour about 20 different topics at a GOP rally, yet the only thing the media reports on are Trump's 60-second comments on the NFL. So who's distracting who?

You feel Trump is a pussy-grabbing-draft-dodging-reality-show-host-three-times-divorced-failed-businessmen and that makes him unfit for, well, apparently anyting. Let's break that down.

Pussy Grabbing. Have you even grabbed a pussy? Even out of wedlock? Have you ever talked about it? I bet even George Washington grabbed a pussy or two in his day. Lord knows Thomas Jefferson did. And JFK? Name a President and I'll bet you money they grabbed a pussy in their life. I have no doubt Trump has said some incredibility rude things in life. If some woman(men) can come forward and prove Trump committed inappropriate, illegal, sex acts where there was no consent, I would be one of the first to sign a impeachment petition. But is that the case currently? Your point it moot.

Draft Dodging. I don't know the full story here. The only one who seemed to care about this was has-been John McCain. We didn't hear about draft dodging during the election very much. Seems to me the democrats would have been all over this. They weren't. Google searches are vague and apparently the democrats couldn't find much, either. Bill Clinton was a draft dodger as well, and he too liked his women. Double standard? Not sure. Does that mean Bill Clinton or Trump have the inability to lead a country? Guess that depends on which 50% you ask. I don't think it has affected you way of life, though.

Reality Show Host. You bring this up a lot. I'm not sure what it means. Reagan was a movie star, did that make him a bad President? Was he unqualified? I'm not sure of your point here but you mention it a lot. Trump had a job. His job was viewed on TV. Unpresidential?

Three Times Divorced. Two times, actually. I mean, look at the guy. Who wants to see Trump naked? I'd divorce him, too. Relationships are hard. Look around, how many people do you know who have never been divorced? Are the ones who are or have been divorced bad people? Do they do their jobs differently?

Failed Businessman. Really? Not only could Trump buy your entire net worth, he could buy the entire town you live in. Is that failing or winning? I think you're more upset with the federal regulations/laws than you are with Trump himself if your point is the bankruptcies.

I'm not sure what you're so upset about, JB. I've asked you this several times and you've never gave an answer. You just like to gripe and moan but I'm not sure about what. You pull shit out of your ass or off of NBC or something. You too say Merry Christmas and Happy Thanksgiving and have made mention of these statements on your website while also boasting about how your product is made in America next to an American flag. Would it be fair to say that you're a racist? Are you insensitive to the Pilgrims or something? Is it fair to say you hate China and Chinese people? Are you just plain unAmerican and hate the United States Veterans because you do not make a product that highlights the scent of Old Milwaukee and Doral cigarettes? That's what your words about Trump amount to - they're just unfathomable statements that have very little to do with much of anything.


Daniel - You're a good man but your dense as hell. I'v said it so any times I'm blue in the face: Trump is a fool. Period. End of discussion. That is how I feel. You feel differently and I respect that. Fo the life of me - and others here I might add - I can't see why and how you can write so much about a man - and say so little - that you didn't vote for. It's certainly no secret here as you have proven time and time again over the many years - you are the absolute KING of arguing for the sake of argument on Discoweb.org. You LOVE to argue! It's kind of your "shtick".

"I'm not sure what you're so upset about, JB. I've asked you this several times and you've never gave an answer. "

I'm upset that the country I love is represented by a lying sack of shit. How much more do you need to know?

It is kind of interesting how you dodged the fact that Trump dodged the draft - That's pretty damned patriotic isn't it?

If you're talking about that "tour bus tape", and you think that's something horrid, then cart us all to jail right now. :rofl:

Everyone thinks about killing people, those who actually do it are murderers. Someone who says they grab pussy is either a liar or a criminal. Isn't this why were trying to keep the mexicans out?
