    All five of them describing the President using the same term, 'calm'.

    Trump choreographs his own self praise over and over again.

    Someone described Trump as narcissistic which I'm beginning to think is true.

    You might catch up soon.....I know I'm a "trumpee" or whatever term the TDS afflicted like to use but I've been way ahead of you all for quite some time. I'd just quote this but the thread is locked.... Screenshot_2019-05-23-20-59-45.png

    I'm not sure what 'TDS' stands for and I don't know exactly what you think I should catch up on. I had a rough day at the hospital today so maybe I need to catch up on my sleep.
    Anyone who doubts what I go through at the hospital is welcome to come up there and you can see it first hand. Yes, they let me have visitors during my treatments. Sly, HomerLovesKoolAid and Hobbes have all visited me there.
    Sorry, guess Maris got me feeling sorry for myself, I'll try to regain control.

    I'm sorry you have health problems. That doesn't negate the fact that everyone already knows what Trump is. It doesn't negate the obvious either. The obvious being that the military industrial complex has him by the balls. He ran on getting us out of our stupid wars. Five seconds in and he's a "Russian Agent"...2 years of Mueller over his head and he caves.

    Bolton arrives on the scene and within a year the Russian Hoax eases up while we continue on with endless war.

    Again, I'm sorry you are in poor health. I guess you don't feel you have the time to search for alternative sources of information other than the corporate media. That's a shame because I know you're smart enough to catch on otherwise.

    All my spare time is devoted to:
    1. PBS The News Hour;
    2. MSNBC Chris Matthews, Hardball;
    3. MSNBC Chris , All In;
    4.CNN Fareed Zakaria Global Public Square (GPS);
    5. NBC Chuck Todd Meet the Press;
    6. The Blazers, live and on TV;
    7. Here;
    8. Watching my wife feed the little critters in our back yard and watching our tiny vegetable garden grow;
    9. Eating on of my wife's delicious meals;
    10. Trying to take a shower which takes a long time and is very exhausting;
    11. Yesterday spent the entire afternoon trying to buy a couple suits and some shirts and ties.
    I just don't have time to look up multitudes of acronyms that I've never seen before or reviewing news sources that I seriously doubt are well vetted. I'm not szying your sources are not reliable. I'm saying that in my opinion they don't look terribly reliable.
    Oh, I forgot Frontline, Nature and Nova as well as Wheeler Dealers.
    Right now, I'm bullshitting with you guys and listening to my wife's program that she's watching which is some sort of women's trashy soap opera.
    Dear God, someone please save me from this stupid soap opera.

    Sorry, I lost one eye in combat and the other eye doesn't work all that well. I know it's a little inconvenient but you'll be pleased to know that it's a little inconvenient for me, too. This may actually happen again some day.

    Everyone has him by the balls. He can be outwitted by a hamster.

    And somehow you believed him!

    Trump hired Bolton, because Trump always hires the worst people. Bolton isn't anything special in that regard.

    Bolton would like a new war. Whether Trump goes along with it will depend entirely on what he hears on Fox & Friends.

    TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome is a made up term by the right. They contend that there is nothing wrong with Trump and liberals are just suffering an illness and are out to get him, i.e suffering from TDS.

    It is a failed attempt to deflect their own irrationally. It is used to avert admitting that Trump is Corrupt, deranged, racist, etc, to save themselves embarassment for voting for him, and to avoid any conversation that would reveal such.

    Pelosi asked for his family or administration officials to begin an intervention. I nearly died laughing.

    From an outside viewpoint (ie, one who has never used nor been saddle with that label), I think you're skewing the explanation a tad.

    I don't think that Trump supporters (for the most part) contend that there is nothing wrong with him; the contention seems to be that the level of fanaticism from his opponents for searching out and highlighting any perceived fault far outweighs the potential value of those efforts. Or to put it another way, that irrational levels of hatred for him cause people to behave in irrational ways, far out of keeping with normal levels of political ire and opposition.

    There are many who view the Trump administration as not just objectionable, but as a plague on our nation and an existential threat to our way of life. That degree of hatred is what garners the TDS label, not simply opposition to his policies and character.

    That viewpoint - that it's a plague and a threat - is not hatred.

    TDS is a term bore out of hatred itself. The same as all those other far right wing terms such as snowflake. Immaturity at it's finest. I don't care for such spurious and painted words and terms. I do care for productive conversations absent of spiteful diatribes and tomfoolery.

    When I said his Trump supporters contend there is nothing wrong with him, I should have elaborated. I think I did a bit further on. They know there are many things wrong with Trump. They just won't admit it and accept fault for voting him in because it would look bad on them.

    I am a liberal. I don't hate Trump. I do see what a terrible person he is. I see his ignorance, arrogance, and ineptitude on daily display. He is an embarassment to this country and the world.

    I do think he is a plague to this country and a threat to our way of life, and I don't see that as being irrational. He is setting us back. He has not made America great...he has made America a joke. And, I'll tell you the rest of the world is not laughing with us but at us. I disagree with both his policies and character. Again, I don't hate the guy, I just don't think he is fit to be president. I actually feel a bit sorry for him.

    There's nothing irrational about a temper caused by a President significantly harming our country and blatantly violating our Constitution.

    I also laughed when Trump referred to himself as a stable genius

    No Chris, you really do not have a grasp on what I think, not even close. You know, as a Trump supporter. But not to worry, it never has entered my mind how it looks to you.

    Which completely proves that the people that STILL support this guy who hates black people but somehow wants darker skin...

    It is THEY who have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Because you'd have to be deranged to keep supporting a fucking HUTT as president.
