And Smeagol was what, 500 years old?

And no, Bilbo did not want to give it up....but he did.

Because Trump told you to?

You so funny. NOT.

This hate boner for Vivek only reached half mast once Trump decided to publicly disparage him. Is it so bold of me to propose you are following his lead and parroting his premature conclusions, as opposed to forming your own intelligent opinion?

My bad.

Do you think Vivek is genuine, or playing politics?

As for "cheeto man", he must have really hurt you if you have to sling insults without the chance of allowing him to respond.

Doesn't matter how you take my responses in any way. We are both keyboard warriors here lol.

I have not yet seen him lie, or cheat, or steal. I can only conclude he's genuine, or to put it another way, innocent until proven guilty.

But of course the resident keyboard ninjas will demur and deflect just like the liberals do. Shoe is on the other foot it seems. Is it still TDS if the candidate I happen to respect is a staunch advocate of Trump?

🤔

You really believe that tRump has your, my and anyone under the 1% interest in mind? Really? Have you ever worked for Trump? He does not keep many of his promises. Why Do you think Vivek is wrong or a realistic in what he wants to do other than being a racist?

a reply to: TzarChasm
Never accused you of TDS. Just interesting that you referred to him as "cheeto man". It comes off as you having a pretty strong dislike for the guy.

I hope Vivek is the genuine article. That'd be rather refreshing. But my spidey senses were tingling before Trump's latest comment.

I'm not rooting for anyone in particular, I just hope we can get our government back to being afraid of the People and acting accordingly. These division tactics grow tiresome.

I know nothing about this candidate, but I do believe he does realize appropriately that Trump will be severely limited in what he gets done if he returns to the Whitehouse. The left will never let him fix anything.

What we do know is he is running against Trump and Trump is running against him. So what is the issue here? Are both guys supposed to say the other guy is great...lol

So Vivek was a hedge fund manager for 7 years making a million per year, is that a job most here see as an honest job? He then started his own Pharmaceutical company, another one that I think most Republicans are not fond of.

I don't like hypocrisy from the gilded Messiah of the modern conservative movement, and the cheeto man meme is funny. Almost as funny as riding on a bear with Putin, really underlining that conflict of interest. But hey, he said 24 hours and they can sort it out, like its his decision and not the UNs. I guess we'll find out who has more lawyers than sense.

Division tactics, that's exactly the problem and you see it too. Division in the party, suspicion and enmity for a man who has done no crime, in fact very professional and courteous, now there's spin and liberal agenda at play making conservatives eat their own.

a reply to: TzarChasm

Have to agree on not liking hypocrisy in any candidate. And the memes are funny. If you can't laugh at yourself, or the team you are rooting for, then you are taking it way too seriously.

Unfortunately, to be human is to be a hypocrite in one form or another. Duality of the mind is a tricky realm to navigate.

The division tactics are at play on all fronts. Both parties are in the middle of eating their own, and the People are foolishly falling for it, causing further division amongst themselves. In reality, we all have more in common than our differences. Hoping the rest get tired of it soon and stop playing the game of "What can I find to make me dislike you.".

Yes, that is exactly what they should be doing. This idea that some hold that this is some kind of game to be won is killing us. It's not a game. Republican's want to elect Republicans. They should be working together and that means to recognize the strengths of each other, not tearing one another apart. The whole idea here is to SERVE, not rule.

It appears to me that Ramaswamy is recognizing and praising what Trump has managed for the last six years. He has promised to pardon him if he wins and Trump needs it, he has called him the best potus this century, he has said he will vote for him if Trump gets the nod. He has also said that the Republicans should not put all their eggs in one nest, that they should have a back up plan. Smart.

Trump on the other hand has drawn blood with his recent statements. He refuses to even entertain the possibility that another Republican might be a better candidate than him. I see this as antithetical to the intent of the the founders.

And why? I don't know why. But I do know that Trump considers each and everyone who does not tow the Trump line is an enemy to America. I can see a pattern here.

I think Trump might be a masochist. Why would any sane person want to continue being bashed like he has been?

he takes the punishment. they aren't after him, they are after us and he stands in the way. protect that man at all costs. He knows where the secrets are buried. he knows because the skeletons in the closet are getting frivolous.

a reply to: Klassified

Believe what you see. Not what you hear. As far as Ramaswamy is concerned, there isn't much to see from him at this point.

A good example of what I say is/are the democrats, hope and change BS. Obama was/is a lying bastard and so is Biden. The dems talk a good game but look at the results of their actions. Evil bastards!

As for Trump, he has proven to be a man of his word for the most part.

a reply to: Klassified

This was a mistake by Trump's campaign.

Vivek was the biggest asset for him during this primary if he used him right.

I'm glad to see Vivek take the high road on this.

I can't believe you are like this in person... geez.

We can go back to other campaigns like John Adams talking about Alexander Hamilton.

"When Perfidy and Treachery, Imbecility, Ignorance Fanaticism and Fury Surrounded Us; all, Puppets danced upon the Wires of a Bastard Bratt of a Scotch Pedlar."

Oh, how about what was said about Ulysses S. Grant?

“Grant is a Drunkard”; “Grant is a man of vile habits, and of no ideas”; “I am going to Europe to get out of advocating this bungler”; “Never ask me to support a twaddler and trimmer for office”; “The nation owes it to its self respect to tolerate imbecility in politics no longer”; “Grant is as brainless as his saddle.”

I could go on and on but it seems you might be a delicate little flower and I wouldn't want to put you in a state of delirium with such harsh words...

Trump on the other hand has drawn blood with his recent statements.

Vivek did say first he was going to crush Trump in Ohio... Most of what Trump does is reactive and it is funny people get upset when the lion roars after contant poking of a stick.

That is because he isn't a politician and he does weird stuff like actually wanting to work on his campain promises. Typically those campain promises dry up in the first week of office and Trump hammered away for four years on his and he will do it again.

Who is eating their own here? Who was Vivek before a year ago? Do you want a hedge fund manager as president? You know those guys who gamble on your money and if they win they get a nice chunk and if they lose they pay nothing but you lose your money, you know those guys?

a reply to: TzarChasm

I don't need Trump to think for me or tell me who to like/dislike, but this video clip you didn't watch of Vivek certainly added perspective.

Simply put, Vivek has a snowballs chance in hell of winning in 24, but he can use fear tactics to syphon off votes from Trump, which is beneficial to the official choice of the uni-party, Nikki Haley.

Did you watch the clip? Maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't, but I don't think what he does in the video clip is taking the high road.

This is his direct response to Trump's post.

What part of that isn't the high road?

Yes, I saw President Trump’s Truth Social post. It’s an unfortunate move by his campaign advisors, I don’t think friendly fire is helpful. Donald Trump was the greatest President of the 21st century, and I’m not going to criticize him in response to this late attack.

I’ve met tens of thousands of Iowans across 390+ events here, and they are deeply worried - and so am I - that this “system” won’t allow Donald J. Trump anywhere near the White House again. It seems they will stop at *nothing* to keep him away from power.

I’m worried for Trump. I’m worried for our country. I’ve stood up against the persecutions against Trump, and I’ve defended him at every step. I showed up at the Miami courthouse in solidarity following his first federal indictment. I filed a FOIA demand to the Biden DOJ. I submitted an amicus brief this week with the U.S. Supreme Court calling on them to overturn Colorado’s ruling. I pledged to remove myself from Maine’s & Colorado’s primary ballots if they remove Trump, calling on DeSantis and Haley to do the same.

But we have to open our eyes. Last time it was a man-made pandemic & Big Tech election interference. Now, the same billionaires funding the lawsuits against Trump are the ones trying to prop up Nikki Haley. The same MSM blasting Trump is lavishing praise on Nikki. They want to narrow this to a two-horse race between Trump & Haley, eliminate Trump (one way or other), & trot their puppet into the White House.

We can’t fall for that trap. 1 year from now, we won’t look back and say we were shocked that it happened. We’ll kick ourselves for not stopping it.

Our movement must live on. America-First didn’t start in 2016. It started in 1776. We owe it to our Founding Fathers to do the right thing for our country. I want to save Trump & to save this country. Let’s do it together. You won’t hear any friendly fire from me.
