Trump plumbs the depths of stupidity
« on: August 12, 2016, 09:37:24 AM »
Now Trump claims that President Obama is the founder of Isis and Hillary is the co founder. No matter that neither of them speaks Arabic or is even a Sunni Muslim. No matter that neither of them was ever in Iraq long enough to do this dastardly deed, or had any motive whatever to do it. Al Baghdadi was the main leader of Isis, and Isis happened because Dick Cheney and others decided that it was no threat.

Nor does it explain why alleged Isis founder Obama has ordered the destruction of Isis.

The question is how fucking stupid is anyone who actually believes this ridiculous drivel?

Joseph Goebbels had a technique called "The Big Lie" which was to invent some utterly unbelievably preposterous lie (like Jews causing Germany's defeat in 1918) and repeat it again and again until a sizeable number of people believe it. That is exactly what Trump is doing here.

Are Americans actually so stupid as to believe this Big Lie?
sirs is almost certainly a believer in this drivel, of course: Hillary is evil and has a foundation, so that proves that she helped create Isis. But are there enough stupid White people in this country that lies like this will convince them?

Yes, misrepresenting what someone said is absolutely a lie

A lie is a lie is a lie.

Can you parse the actual quote?

The bit at the head of the thread includes more elaboration than what DJT actually said.

It doesn't work that way.  If you want Plane or myself to "parse" the post, we're simply going to demonstrate how the more wrong you are in your use of the literal card.  Is that what you'd prefer, vs trying to prove your point yourself via parsing Trump's statement?

I don't know.

Trump made an incomplete statement .

This seems to be a frequent habit of his, he makes about half of a statement and shrugs rather than concluding.

What I heard was an appeal to the people who value the second amendment to care and take action , as in vote , but he did not say -take action by voting-.

What those not fond of Trump heard was a warning that Hillary Clinton was a foe of the second amendment and the friends of the second amendment should take action by shooting her- except he did not say that, nor anything like that.

     Making his statements open ended , unfinished , vague and open to interpretation , he does a lot , and I do not think he does it accidentally.

      To some of us it really looks ridiculous to say that he said to shoot HRC , because he specifically did not.

       He also did not tell us to vote against her for this same reason.

        It is a clever trick, almost too clever, it seems that many of the press are willing to finish his words out for him with what they guess best.

Trump says incredibly dumb shit to keep his name in the media.
He is simply playing you clowns for the fools you are

I am not running for president, and therefore cannot be compared to Trump.
I have not advocated. "Second Amendment-ing" Hillary Clinton.

Nor did I claim that our President  and/or Hillary founded Isis.

Putting aside the idiocy of trying to play the literal card again,..... never claimed you were running for president or being compared to Trump, oh mighty master of deflection.  Just noting how completely fooled you are by Clinton's pack incredibly dumb stunts & rhetoric

"Second Amendment-ing"


   Did you just invent this term?
