This is why so many of the Republicans sound crazy. They never back up anything they say. To a thinking person, It sounds like they make things up as they go along. Just whatever suits there hatred.

Obama: 'No Excuse' for Ferguson Violence

"President Barack Obama said Thursday there is “no excuse” for violence against police or protestors in Ferguson, Mo., where intense clashes have broken out following the shooting death by police of unarmed teenager Michael Brown".

http://time.com/3111730/barack-obama-ferguson-michael-brown/

I see no "condoning" of anything here.

did Obama shoot anyone? Than the question is irrelevant, especially since he never 'condoned' violence, the claim that he did is pure trash.

Trump defends order to declassify Russia probe documents, says he wants 'total transparency' in 'witch hunt".

"In his first on-camera comments since ordering the declassification of secret documents related to the Russia investigation, President Donald Trump on Tuesday argued his move was in the interest of “total transparency” while making clear his primary target is the “terrible witch hunt".

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-defends-order-declassify-russia-probe-documents-total/story?id=57890176

Does total transparency include meeting with Mueller to answer questions?

Total transparency' sounds great.... What about releasing your tax returns?

So it looks like Trump will release only the parts that are favorable to him and not the rest.

People don't make deals when they aren't guilty.

He condoned it. Noticed they've settled down since Trump is president.

Obama taught folks they aren't supposed to work, they should sit on their behind and get a check, and they shouldn't be arrested when caught committing a crime.

Not quite. Lyndon Johnson was quoted " Give the ------- a check each month and they'll vote for you for life" I think it got progressively worse from his time until now.

You guys keep yelping about Trump's taxes. What about obama's college records?

repeating it without backing it up doesn't make it any less nonsense.

which? the ones from Harvard Law where he graduated SUMMA *** LAUDE? What about them? And I dont think anyone cares about Trumps taxes from when he was twenty, more like relevant information from NOW when he will be POTUS and could cause conflicts with his JOB.

Some more of that Facebook/ Social media-make it up as you go crap that never happened.

Obama’s ‘Sealed’ Records

http://www.quora.com/Why-are-Obamas-records-sealed

Lyndon Johnson was quoted " Give the ------- a check each month and they'll vote for you for life

Johnson never said this. What people "think," he said was never proven.

A lot of democrats are campaigning for the welfare vote just like Obama did. Nothing to back up. It's common knowledge. He even said Trump couldn't fix the economy. He has a sit on welfare mentality. Bottom line is some people don't want a good economy and a job. They vote Democratic. The sky is still falling through their eye when they should be striving in this economy.

Democrats campaign on several issues just like Republicans, unless all one sees is money, then perhaps that is the only issue they can see a campaign around

and maybe some dont want a 'good economy and a job', I suppose they were unhappy with Obama then since he was POTUS while both saw an urgently needed turnaround

and maybe some want to keep everyone with darker skin in their place of submission and inferiority, They vote republican. Maybe that is what Trump campaigns on, those dangerous Muslims, those dangerous immigrant Mexicans, and those criminal blacks, but not those Nazis who have some 'decent people'


as to the rest ...
nice distraction from a POTUS who says things like
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters."

and

""In the good old days this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very, very rough.""

and

"Id like to punch him in the face"

actual DIRECT quotes, not wild interpretations of what someone 'condoned' ... by the way.

which I think is the topic of the thread, ACTUAL QUOTES from POTUS.

Jobs are what feed families. It's very important. It's not just money. It's a roof over families heads, food on the table, utilities, etc. Having a job is honorable. Waiting for a handout isn't.

Democrats also want to abolish ice. Open borders. It's not that they think that's what's best for our country, they want the illegal votes. They also don't want voters to show id.

You sir are almost entirely correct: not by chance did he become a billionaire, but by birth. He inherited all his money, which he squandered leading to multiple bankruptcies. The only reason he still has money is through the corruption of privatised gains and socialised losses (which defines crony capitalism, i.e., the opposite of actual free market capitalism). And he didn't beat out the conservative competition by chance, he really is pretty good at WWF style 'reality' tv - at least he is when he has a whole production company working with him to make him look 'good'.

But no. folks don't need to do or say anything to malign him, they just need to speak the truth about his behaviour. And no, Americans aren't all so dumb, I mean, the majority did not vote for him; and he is overwhelmingly unpopular. So Americans aren't all dumb; even many Trump voters had reasons to vote for him that were not entirely dumb (I, for one, had to hold my nose while voting Hillary - I cannot stand the entrenched Washington machine she embodies.) But Today. Still. Trump? Really? That is seriously uninformed - no. It is immorally dumb. All you have are lies - democrats want to destroy America. Yeah. Sure. Liberals are traitors. Yeah. Putin and Xi Jinping are laughing all the way to world domination.

Enough already. ITMFA!

is that perhaps Soros' Snopes?

Holy Maccaroni,do you really believe that?

Conrad - Belief isn't strong enough a word. I know it, and, if you are honest, so do you. Did or did not Trump inherit an enormous fortune from his father (who actually was successful - though not at raising his children)? Did or did not Trump file for bankruptcies 6 times? (interesting note, he lied to say that he went bankrupt 4 times, it was later uncovered that the correct number is 6). The man is not a self-made success - this is obvious even to the most casual observer. So yes. I know it.

For crying out loud, the man lost money running casinos! Nearly every business he began failed! - Had a trump steak lately? read a Trump Magazine? Been to a Trump Casino? Flown Trump Air? The ONLY thing he did well was 1) trade on his name and sell licensing to other people to build 'trump' properties (that he did not own). 2) 'reality' tv. and 3) money laundering for the Russian mob - allegedly.

Oh, did I mention sexually assaulting numerous women and then bragging about it? yeah, he's 'good' at that too. His own wife accused him of rape: the first one, the one he publicly humiliated with his numerous affairs that he splashed over the tabloids (google Marla + Trump). And did I mention that he's a racist? Yeah, that goes back to his inheritance (his father was also racist - and they both were sued for refusing to rent to black folks), and also his (failed) casinos, where black folks were not allowed to work the floor (and thus were limited in employment), and yes, there were law suits there too. Not to mention the (innocent) 'Central Park five' that he wanted executed simply for being black in the park when someone else (who was white) raped and beat a white woman. Oh, I could go on, but will post a single reference: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/12/racism-and-donald-trump-a-common-thread-throughout-his-career-and-life

FACTS ARE REAL THINGS - try learning a few, you'll avoid making a fool of yourself. But all you can say is 'holy macaroni"???? This isn't funny. We have in the White House an ignorant, failed, racist, rapist, spoiled son of an oligarch who simply does not believe in either democracy or America. You support that?

Trump 'dossier' stuck in New York, didn't trigger Russia investigation, sources say

President Donald Trump and his allies have long insisted that what he calls the “fake dirty dossier” was wholly “responsible for starting the totally and discredited witch hunt” by special counsel Robert Mueller.


"But, beginning in July 2016, that so-called “dossier” actually sat for several weeks inside an organized crime unit at the FBI’s New York field office, even as counterintelligence agents in Washington, D.C. – unaware of the new allegations – were already investigating Russian efforts to hijack American democracy".

32 people and three companies — that we know of Have already been indicted. But Trump still wants to call it a witch hunt. With people going to jail around him.

Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005

"Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” according to a video obtained by The Washington Post".

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-recorded-having-extremely-lewd-conversation-about-women-in-2005/2016/10/07/3b9ce776-8cb4-11e6-bf8a-3d26847eeed4_story.html?noredirect=on

These Trump followers believe what they want to believe. No matter how outlandish or far-fetched it may be. They don't seem to mind being ignorant either. They say all sorts of foolish things that they can't back up. They seem to think they are right. Even with nothing to prove it. Even with all evidence pointing in the opposite direction. They believe nothing they see and nothing they hear. Rings of another Jim Jones cult.

President Donald Trump: 'I don't have an attorney general. It's very sad'

"President Donald Trump reignited his criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, saying he doesn't have a top law enforcement officer and blasting Sessions' performance on border security, in an interview with Hill.TV".


If this is how Trump really feels about this man, I wonder why doesn't he fire him?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/09/19/donald-trump-jeff-sessions-attorney-general/1355477002/

not unless he changed his name to Mikkelson twenty years ago ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snopes.com

Some more of that social media started bullshyt. Fake news started with some fake meme that got passed around the internet. Some people are just too gullible. They have so much hate in them they will believe anything that fits there narrative.


Was Snopes.com ‘BUSTED’ for Our CEO’s Ties to George Soros?


"Snopes.com is an extremely liberal site with an agenda to discredit conservatives, paid for either by George Soros or the Clintons, or maybe Facebook".

http://www.snopes.com/fact-check/was-snopes-busted-ties-to-soros/

ASK FACTCHECK, Snopes.com

Q: Is Snopes.com run by “very Democratic” proprietors? Did they lie to discredit a State Farm insurance agent who attacked Obama?

A: chain e-mail that “exposed” Snopes contains falsehoods. And in fact, the site is run by someone who has no political party affiliation and his non-voting Canadian wife. A State Farm spokeswoman confirms what they reported about the Obama-baiting agent".

http://www.factcheck.org/2009/04/snopescom/

I see and hear this statement almost everywhere. "The liberal agenda to discredit conservatives".

What I don't understand is why do they want to blame liberals for what many conservatives do to themselves? Trump backers, 98% of the time can't back up what they say. Or whatever they think is truth. Almost every week Trump either says or does something stupid.

His backers try to defend him but have no facts to defend him with. When all you can do is talk but not back it up, you wind up looking foolish. Especially if all you can say is something snide or goofy.

Trump blames almost everyone else for his troubles. Never himself. No one, it doesn't matter what the political affiliation is, has to discredit conservatives. Most do it to themselves. I've seen page after page of it right here in these forums.
