Trump..... (The Sophistry Thread)

[Asininedrivel]

In my opinion he is an old institutional dude who has always said the right thing at the time to suit his career but I feel there is zero substance there for anything. I am not Bernie fan at all but it would have been good to see a real reformer in there. I am not a trump fan either but it was good to see an outsider in there.

Is no one willing to admit that this is the most entertaining election ever! and it still has more to give

I think if you watch him being interviewed in depth his passion and genuineness (new word) comes through. The care and time he showed to the audience asking questions at his Town Hall shows there's substance there at least some of the time.

It was a rollercoaster but now it's just a pairing of the victor and an argumentative toddler who won't accept time out. I'm looking forward to 9 December when all the States certify their results (spoiler alert: it won't be in Trump's favour) and all legal avenues are thereby officially exhausted.

I'm not an ardent @Zaf follower, and I'm definitely far left and green (according to political compass), but I think you aren't as nut bag right as you get trolled for. Maybe you are far right for a rotorburner (non ebiker that is, we know that they are full evil) but put you in 8kun (is that how it's spelt?) and you would probably be seen a a sjw leftie snowflake. Long as you don't go homophobic fascist it's good to have a counterpointer even if I don't agree with you.

I'll second this. I see @Zaf as a person who most likely considers an individual's rights as of higher importance than 'socialist' approaches to society which isn't my political cup of tea. However having that counterpoint view is good value for both entertainment and educational purposes, and arguably the majority of people in Australia think this way given the results from our last election, so even though I may not agree with it I find it interesting to try and understand the viewpoint.

Wait....is anyone actually taking @Zaf seriously? Sorry to let you peek behind the curtain and dispel the myth that he's anything other than a shit stirrer, but we speak regularly outside Farkin, and laugh about the shit we give each other.
Aside from actually being a gun nut, I wouldn't take a word he says at face value

Well I took his praise of the Durolux seriously enough to order one so I am hoping the shit stirring is confined mostly to politics and gearboxes!

I was a little drunk last night. Just finished an exam and had had a few drinks with the class afterwards...and I'm lightweight on the drink. Anyway, lots of notifications and it looks like I was asking questions, so I better get around to replying now.

Some one has to step in and do the needful.

Hard pass. His ban still stands.

He did ask; and I take most people's opinions semi-seriously, unless very obviously in jest.

The sexual tension in this thread is amazing. Enough mind games already, just start kissing.

He did say they chat outside of Rotorburn all the time - So I assume pillow talk anyway

Zaf said we can't go steady until I get a gearbox. It's a hill I'll die on.

I saw NY city pre and post giuliani, someone did a hell of a job if it wasnt him. If it was no idea what happened to him.

Must have been Trump that fixed NY

anyone else going to miss this shit when it's gone. No not the homo-erotic Zaf and Moorey stuff but the bat shit insane Trump and his supporters carry on.

or will it ever be gone, is this the new normal for 'Murica? Will trump always be there with his conspiracy theories, endless legal challenges and general insanity?

I'm certainly enjoying every moment of USA #1, rapidly coming unglued. They certainly are no longer the self proclaimed greatest country in the world and the curtain has well and truly been pulled back on who they are as a culture and people

You might be a rectangle block with rounded edges, going into a rounded edged, rectangular hole, and I am "mostly" the same shape, but with some courser and smoother edges that doesn't smoothly fit, but "best fits" into the same slot.

TL;DR, get a bigger hammer...
