This thread is truly getting weird.
I keep hearing "She's hiding something!!" I still can't fathom why I should care if she is. Then this is called "denial." Round and round goes logger's logic carousel. |

They've got nothing to root for so the only thing left is to root against something.
Year after year after miserable year even long past the point where the people they attack are relevant. Is Hillary Done yet??!?! I dunno, lets talk about her *********** jacket. |

A lot of Republicans seemed to spend four years convinced that if President Obama were shown to have not been legitimately elected, the election results would be magically reversed and McCain would become President. Maybe they still hold that belief, so their delusion is compelling them to attack her as the potential President after Trump. |

I don't think it's fun. It's f'n pathetic, all of it.
I went fishing with a friend today and took a break from all of this crap, in fact I've been doing that 3 - 4 times a week. That is fun. This is tiresome and, for me, it has become pointless. No matter how much we overanalyze and worry about Trump and Hillary and all the idiots in between, they will just keep on grinding along. "What, me worry?" I came to this forum and re-discovered critical thinking. I'm not perfect at it and I never will be. I don't need to practice here anymore. That's all this is for me really. I see my biases, not all I'm sure, I see the bullcrap out there and recognize a lot of it. Great. But I'm not nearly as happy as the people in my life who have never even heard of critical thinking. Ignorance is truly bliss. We argue in circles with each other as if one "side" is actually worth defending. Can you believe that critical thinkers actually defend these mega-asswipes? This country is polarized over left and right and they both suck! Fun? This isn't fun at all. |

Critical thinking itself is worth defending. Especially from the destructive willful ignorance on display at the white house and from those whose only concern is tweaking the "opposition"
I really wish these ******** like trump would grow a pair and just admit that the death of America is what they want. |

Actually, I didn't. The fact that you felt any need at all to ask that question, even rhetorically, implies you didn't comprehend what was actually being said.
I did, however, notice that you missed how I introduced my question with "If that was your take from TheGoldcountry's quote then...." LOL |

It's funny. Everyone else sees that the racism fan comment has nothing to do with coats.
In that poster's mind they had labeled Trump supporters as fans of racism, so when Trump supporters showed up that is how the poster referred to them. Not because of their outerwear curiosity, but to identify who has the most oddly placed outerwear curiosity. That racism fans are also oddly curious about outerwear is the observation, not that people who are oddly curious of outerwear are racism fans. I hope that helps you properly direct your outrage. |

Such a clever little pooch, but the people I mentioned previously are the ones who care about what an old woman may or may not be wearing under her jacket. Maybe it's a back brace, or a kevlar vest, or a remote operated robotic exoskeleton.

Yeah, but not everyone here knows that you aren't a Trump fan. Some people weren't here when you were a Bernie Bro, so they look at your current posts and assume you are a Trump fan. Newbs, what are you gonna do.
Anyway, they read other threads and see Trump fans excusing racist behavior by Trump and those around him and assume Trump fans must be racism fans, too. Seems fair enough. Fairer than calling pro-choice people recreational abortion enthusiasts, if there is to be a scale. Labels stick. Ask logger, he loves labels. (Hint: Everyone else is liberal or extreme left. Probably even you, sorry. He was here for the Bernie Bro days.) |

It would appear that you are explaining that the slurs indeed had nothing at all to do with this thread. Quite remarkable indeed.
Not a surprise because the arguments (and I truly hesitate to use that word) of one side are growing steadily worse as TDS gets a deeper grip.... Sad. |

The one pic (in royal blue suit) where there appears to be something under the back of her coat looks a whole lot more like a bulletproof vest than a back brace. There are "back braces" that are actually posture correctors that would fit like that but actual back braces? Don't they usually reach over the shoulders.
Again... why would she hide a back brace? Hiding a bulletproof vest is kinda sensible. It gets the bad guys with a gun to take their traditional shot at center mass. If they know she's wearing one, they go for the headshot. |

Wouldn't be the first time a President did it tho
Quote:
But then I don't see the issue of a backbrace being of importance anyway- she was running for the office of the President, not the US Olympic longjump team... And more importantly she actually seems quite intelligent, which would have been an improvement over what you have at the moment (altho to be frank, practically anything would be an improvement...) I sometimes wonder if the people of the USA actually know how disturbed others viewing Trump's antics really are, and just how far down he has dragged the US's reputation? Hillary would have been a vast improvement over what you got |

She's a vain old woman trying to hide a back brace, big deal. What's really fascinating to me is the con's reaction to such a bunch of nothing. I gotta ask, logger- if you see a vain old woman at, say, your church, wearing a wig or something, do you break out into a hearty "hilarious, haw haw haw!" like some cartoony Jack Chick villain (usually atheists, sometimes *gasp* Catholics)? I only ask because I wonder if you're one of those Christians for whom the talk is more important than the walk, lifting the eyes so the folks in the next pew will see how holier than they thou art; where mouthing the platitudes (like charity toward the vanquished) takes precedence over their practice, and the label is handy to use when you want to elect a President who embodies none of its vaunted virtues but shares an antagonistic world-view in politics, or it's needed to justify discrimination against, say, gay people (usually moaning about how not allowing that is discrimination against them).
I mean, I personally think most Christians are decent people, if only because I (perhaps naively) think most people are decent people, and I don't think it's necessary to be either one to be either other. So, you know...not accusing you of anything, just asking questions, right? Like the good folks at the Gateway Pundit... |
