Truth hurts. You decided to get personal, I just decided to distance myself from you. You didn't come here to debate, you came to argue. If I can't educate you, I'll educate people that are reading.
Not only do those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) suffer from the ability to separate fantasy from reality, it also clouds their ability to carry on a rational discussion. This should be evident. The subject was incensed by by a factual statement but was unable to refute it. The subject continued to get more agitated as more facts where placed in front of him. Facts that while true, didn't fit with the subjects world view as viewed under the effect of TDS.
The final straw for the subject came when these facts where combined with a rational projection of what will probably happen. Unable to refute these facts and a rational projection that didn't fit with the subjects world view he was driven into a rage (frothing.) This is common result of trying to engage subjects under the effect of TDS.
As clearly seen by the subjects last post in this thread it should be clear that the subject has lost all contact with reality where it comes to a successful Trump presidency. At this point there is nothing more to be gained by continuing to engage such subjects. Medical intervention is usually required after this point.
People who live in reality don't have to rationalize anything. We just accept what is happening and truth. That truth being, Trump is doing a good job. No amount of "rationalization" by people with TDS will change that.
Of course by living in reality if Trump stops doing a good job we will accept that too.
As for his tweets, I don't see why anyone really pays attention to them. Well they are good at setting TDS people to frothing. When like the mythical nuclear war that didn't happen they have conquered up another boogie man when that didn't work out. They specter of a trade war. Which, to give them credit as a better chance of happening but not likely.
See here is what really happened. Trump stated that the trade deals between friends and allies was unfair. Like his NATO comments, that also pissed everyone off, he is of course correct. Like the nuclear comments this has sent the left off in a tizzy spouting 'Trade War! Trade War!" Which like the earlier nuclear war that didn't happen, this will probably not happen ether.
Would you like to know why? Sure you would. Because both sides, again like in the case of the nuclear war that didn't happen, know that a trade war would benefit no one. So here is what will happen. People that actually know what they are doing will get together. They will hammer out some agreements, then the politicians, like Trump will come in and take credit.
There. Is that all clear now? Now that, that is settled lets get on with more important conversations.
Why its this world you silly goose. I suppose he is starting these trade wars like when he started that nuclear war with North Korea. Oh wait, no he didn't..
Don't worry, I'm sure they will come up with a pill for TDS soon.
You would think that the butt hurt would start to fade by now. But I guess believing her coronation was ordained by God only to find out you're wrong must hurt. Must hurt more waking up every morning to a world where Trump is actually doing a good job and has been right about virtually everything he has said.
So basically, the next time comcast starts fucking with me and I need to file a complaint, unless I want to pony up 225 clams, I might as well print it out, stick it up my ass, and set one end on fire. What good is the FCC now anyway?
He's the only President who casually makes nuclear threats against his enemies. (on twitter no less).
Which directly lead to NK coming to the negotiation table, which lead to a end of the Korean War, which lead to a path to disarming NK of its nuclear weapons. Not bad for a few tweets.
No, he spelled Trump correctly. Virtually everything successful in this economy has been correctly attributed to Trump. Even some of his worse critics have to admit that.
Under Obama the economy was one of the worse in recorded history. His mismanagement of the economy are just one more reason, along with those 7 to 10 trillion others, that Obama will go down as one of the worse in history. Of course it will take 25 or more years for this to happen.
Which probably won't happen. Unlike is predecessors, Trump has shown a reluctance to use military force as a first response. It is very doubtful that Trump would order any such attack against NK. More likely things would simply resort to the status quo.
I know the TDS infect media has so many people quaking in their boots about Trump starting WWIII but you should just ignore such scare tactics. We are doing just fine.
Yet that's somehow still preferable to a president who is just one snappy decision away from starting WW3
Which won't happen. Contrary to popular myth there is no "Big Red" button that Trump can push to start WWIII. Outside of a retaliatory strike where nuclear weapons are first used against the US or her alias, the first use of nuclear weapons by the US government is a complex process that requires several levels of cooperation within the armed forces.
It was done this way to prevent just such a scenario as people with TDS like to envision about Trump rolling out of bed and pressing the "big red button."
Plus that Pence is a political insider and doesn't have any of the baggage that Trump carries with him. He knows how to talk politics with out antagonizing his rivals. He is true political animal unlike Trump is.
And that makes him 10 times more dangerous. All the mistakes we are seeing from Trump people with TDS want to attribute to Trump being mentally addled. Which isn't the case, they are simply the mistakes of a political novice. Pence will not make those mistakes.
Since Pence's policy positions are the same as the Republican party, he has a much greater chance to pull them off. To make it worse Pence thinks he on a mission from God to put women back in the kitchen and gays back in the closet.
Trump dying or being removed from office will be the worse thing that could happen.
Back when gas hit close to $5 a gallon some thieves modified a horse trailer by cutting out parts of the bottom. Then they would install pumps and large tanks.
They would pull the modified trailer over access caps, where they fill the underground tanks, where they would pretend to have truck problems. While two men would be under the hood acting like they where trying to fix the truck, their accomplices in the trailer would remove the access cap and lower a hose down to the underground tank.
Once the tanks where full, the truck would suddenly be fixed, and they would drive off.
No to mention that my taste in keyboards seems have changed as I've gotten older. I like my keyboards quiet. I'm a big fan of the logitech K360 and the K780
While I don't have the same amount of love and affection for these keyboards as you do, I never really liked them ether. I do agree that after the fall of civilization alien archaeologist, a long with the Ford F-150, will be digging them up and using them. I just never liked the feel of the keyboard or the noise they made.
The problem with your thinking here. The truth is Trump is actually doing a good job as president. I know so many people around here are so badly infected with TDS that they can't see that. One more piece of news too, unless Trump decides not to run in 2020 he is going to win a second term by a land slide.
You are welcome for these unpopular but undisputed truths.
What radiation? There has been no major radiation leak by any commercial nuclear plant in the United States. Even the worse commercial nuclear plant accident in the US, Three Mile Island, didn't release any significant radiation in to the environment.
Clearly all that radiation didn't hurt your brain one bit.
It is insane comments such as this that clearly show how ignorant the anti nuclear crowd is on the subject matter they protest.
I doubt you really actually tried it. You may have played it but you didn't really try it. It is far superior to radio in virtually every way imaginable. But that is just my option. For all I know you may like listening to the same tired songs picked for you by the RIAA, delivered over a sub par medium filled with static, interlaced with long stretches of advertisements, and topped off with the pathetic ramblings of something called a "dj." You may even enjoy that abhorrent spectacle called a "morning show."
I really can't comment your choice to listen to your local music. For all I know you probably listen to the same 3 cd's over and over. But you shouldn't point and laugh at people with wider and more vibrant musical tastes than you. That is just rude.
As for me, I'm happy to pay a small service fee every month to have access to 30 million tracks of music with more being added every month. From all around the world. Reggie from Caribbean, Blues from the Netherlands. I'm sure you won't agree, but put simply streaming, services are the best thing to ever happen to independent artists.
Hehe. Still hurting over that are we? I don't blame you. I probably should apologize for that. I'm not going to but I probably should.:) Since I'm a regular poster you can assume that you will run into me many more times. But you have my word that I will not deliberately be trolling you again. Once you've been trolled by me, you are pretty much immune to being trolled again. I mean, since I already picked you up and played you like a fiddle, there is no challenge to it. Doing so again would just be sad on my part.
The scenarios I picked out are rough estimates over the years of collecting music. I pulled up a report how much money I have spent the past 10 years. It averages out to about $26 a month. Sometimes, I would spend nothing and sometimes much more. My peek was in 2013 when I bought several boxed sets for $250 and some change.
You really don't know much about Spotify do you? Spotify, like most streaming services, has a offline mode. This is where the music you like the most is saved locally on your device just like any other mp3 you would load is. You save it once and no data is used at all when you play it locally. You can just listen to it over and over. Once your tired of it just remove it and off you go. Spotify plays on just about everything too. I even think there might be app so I can run it on my cat. So instead of having to copy a cd or carry them around, I just install Spotify there and not worry about it any more.
I actually don't mind Spotify tracking what music I listen too. The service is very good at recommending artist based on what I listen too. Have you ever heard of Michael Tomlinson? Me ether till Spotify recommended him. There are hundreds of other artist that I have "discovered" based on what Spotify and my contacts on there recommend. Artist that I would never have discovered just listening to the radio and browsing music stores.
And best part. When I find a artist that i really like I go to their website and buy the music right from the artist. Where all the money that I spend goes right to artist and not to Big Music where the artist only gets pennies. Support your artist, that is really what its all about, is it not?
Incorrect. We can't process the waste because every time we tried to move it some smelly ignorant hippie would lay down in front of the truck. We would have had places for it to go but hippies would stand in front of the gate blocking traffic in to the site.
China is using it because in the long run nuclear power is cheaper and far better than anything else for that area. Countries don't survive by doing expensive things just to do it when something cheaper will do. If there was no real reason to go with nuclear here then china would have just tossed up a coal plant and called it good.
They're sucking more money out of your wallet, that's all you need to focus on.
Let me see if I can correct your thinking on this.
I have a family spotify account that I pay $15 a month for. For that I have 5 separate accounts for each member of my family that cost me $3 a month. But that is splitting hairs so lets just say I'm paying $15 a month for access to over 30 million tracks.
To keep it simple lets just say a cd costs $10. Now then my son and daughter would usually buy about 4 cd's a month, give or take. That is $40 bucks roughly. I myself, would buy about 6 jazz, blues, and classical cd's a month. A good 60% of these cd's I would play once or twice and then I would put on a shelf till I hauled them down to the used CD store. Of the remaining 40% they would have 1 or 2 tracks on it that I liked. 1 or 2 tracks out of say 10. That comes out to $5 to $10 a track.
Now lets say I wanted to play that CD in my car, or at my office. I would ether have to carry around the CD's that I think I might want to hear or buy 2 or 3 copies at $10 each. I could of course make copies of them to a inferior CD-R for $3. I buy only good CD-R's.
Since a CD is good for about 2 to 5 years, give or take, before it becomes unplayable, which means I will have to buy it all over again. Be we won't count that.
So you are saying its better for my family to spend over a $100 a month for CDs that I might or might not play that it is for me to spend $15 a month for access to a virtually unlimited library? A library that includes all past tracks by an artist, all future tracks, not to mention millions of unknown artist that I would never find if all I did was buy cd's?

Damn! I guess he told us. I don't even think I've reached that level of jackassery.
