Yes, that again.

He never cared about his fans. Ever. What he did finally just proved it. We're "entitled," don't'cha know?

You very much displayed that you are and your inability to leave it behind, proves that.

He sure kept his word about trying to build a wall, but I have no interest in that proposal despite how stupid it is to start something like that when we have 4-year term limits and a revolving party door for the Oval Office.

Otherwise all he’s ever done is remark praise for his job.
Trump is actually one of the most peaceful presidents since WW2. I would consider that an achievement as I am a peace loving man. Only Carter and Ford rank alongside him. Don't take my word for it, here's Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact ... SKBN2A22SN

Isn't it funny what you discover when you actually go searching for facts over feelings?

I'm sorry but piecemeal armchair philosophy is more how I'd describe a lot of your approaches rather than conveying facts.


You boasted about non-vaccine herd immunity and proceeded to change your tune upon getting Covid and remarking how serious it is. We all had the facts then.
And the Reuters article? I notice that you conveniently avoided that. A lot easier to poo poo me than it is to poo poo one of the most respected journals in the world isn't it.
Are you aware that the US has been at war for 93% of its existence? Impressive for such a young country. Being a peacetime president is actually the rarity not the norm and such men should be commended when they come along no matter their other faults.

Oh yeah? It's not just that. I'd requested that he reupload some requested reviews with the death of Blip many times over, because I'd felt like watching them, but I was hardly the only one, and he never did. It was a niche crowd, sure, but that does a huge disservice to the original requester. No shocker the asshat's closed requested reviews. I don't get how the hell he's so ashamed of his goddamned BABE review. The man's a shitball who will even tell you that he's ashamed of anything he made prior to his holy moral puritan days.

Why do you hate the guy?
Because one time I referred to Clearspira as "White Hetero Male Fragility". This was from when I pointed out that the third season of DISCO was the very first season of any Trek to NOT feature a white heterosexual male in the main cast. He got really upset over that factoid, accusing the Trek producers of committing hate crime or something. That's how I got a two-month ban. I didn't object to it.

But that's not really part of this topic, so let's leave it at that.

Lol, whatever.
You got banned because of me? No. I doubt that. What I suspect happened was that I was the last point in a chain of your own making.

Hate crime? No. I do not recall claiming that. What I recall saying is that you would never get away in the modern day with having an all-white heterosexual cast. A double standard is a double standard and I will call them out like it or not.

And that's true. Come on. Imagine white race-swapping an ethnic character today? Think the outrage would be miniscule? It'd be felt to Pluto. Come on, let's race-swap an older black character like Blade. Lots of great white actors could pull off the part, especially the inverse, with your Sam Jacks who can pull off Nick Fury so well. :geek: :geek: :geek:

At this point, I'm just trying to pad my post count. Try to catch up to BridgeConsoleMasher and make it to... 10,000 second? He's gonna beat me anyway.
