    So you were lying? Got it. I think it’s interesting to see liberals complain about Trump lying by posting their own lies.

    I was not quoting Trump or any other person. Sorry you weren't able to follow the idea.

    They weren't all neo-Nazis. But legitimate groups that wanted the statues to remain decided to refrain from participating because of the character of those who did march. I mean come on now, these deviants carried torches and I don' t mean flashlights. Also, please note how Trump did not exclude any of the overwhelming deviants in the group from his praise. That's a dog whistle that the neo-Nazis recognized, hence the link to that.

    All you do is relieve your frustration with insults without proving anything. Where's the logic?

    More insults? This is the sign of someone with a limited ability to express themselves resulting in frustration spilling out in the form of insults. Why not find fault in the post rather than the poster?

    I was stating a fact. I have no desire to insult barfo.

    There's a huge difference between a lie and an untruth. Lies are intentional untruths. Untruths might be a lie or it might be a simple untruth in error.

    You obviously see him as telling an untruth but do you really assert that he did so while knowing it wasn't true? That is of course assuming it was an untruth which I am not willing to subscribe to.

    Gentlemen which I hope we are, don't call each other liars as well as don't intentionally tell an untruth. The exception is telling your wife you like her new hair style or mention that she appears to have lost weight.

    My wife came home with a new dress yesterday that I wasn't particularly fond of but I told her how good it looked. I don't see this as qualifying me as a liar.

    We can avoid these situations by criticizing the post and not the poster.

    So you don’t think this is a lie? Really?

    You have roll call for the people at Charlottesville? You've done studies confirming that all of them are Neo Nazis?

    Yeah, I know you don't and haven't.

    No, it's not a lie. It's a hypothetical.

    Let me spell it out.

    Suppose someone said "Adolf Hitler is a very fine..." etc.

    If someone said that, would you conclude that they'd not praised any Nazis?

    Correct, but I also didn't claim to have.

    Has Trump? I think you also know he hasn't either.

    I'm sure there were plenty of KKK folks, Nazi curious rednecks, Aryan brotherhood members, People talking in tongues and playing with snakes, all sorts in Charlottesville to either protest or just share the experience along with free beer and BBQ..probably a few cowboys and waitresses too! Any excuse to show up with patches on your jacket and your shiniest guns on display...sort of a southern country fair

    He equated a made up fairy tale with a real statement Trump made and they were not remotely similar. Fake apples to real oranges.

    The important part is we are rehashing the same stuff a year later because we have noobs coming in spewing the same nonsense we got then.

    I was making random posts throughout the day while taking breaks from doing home projects and going to the gym and Costco. Painted my 2 year old decorative trim on my garage doors and the house looks brand new again. NV sun takes its toll on painted metal.

    But your assumption that they are all Neo Nazis means Trump directly praised Neo Nazis.

    You should apply for a job with the Pres, he always seems to have openings.

    what he did was nothing...for too long..then he addressed them..Trump criticized the protesters who wanted the statues gone from the beginning until quite awhile after the school teacher was run over...then he walked it back like he always does...first tweets didn't poll well, he walks them back....later will say he never tweeted them...blah, blah, blah....dude doesn't give two shits about the south really other than his property in Fla.

    I am not defending Trump. I'm defending the truth. What you write isn't made up shit. Your opinion is completely valid as usual.

    The difference between you and some noobs I've come across is their inability to make factual statements or even appear to read the posts they are responding too.

    The Trump pussy grabber comment is another example. You can call it a classless disgusting comment all day and I won't take offense.

    People say Trump "literally" said he runs around grabbing women by the pussy. What he said was that he could because he is a star. He then says he just kisses them. I may be a bit off going from memory but I'm a hell of a lot closer to the Huffpost regurgitating dimwits that keep spreading that lie across the internet.

    I'm not even sure if all women would rather be kissed against their will or grabbed against their will. Some old skank grabbing my stuff would be less disgusting to me than getting a wrinkly old denture face stuffed into mine but you'd have to ask women about that.
