Just got into an argument with a trumpanzee.

Last edited Mon Mar 25, 2019, 11:38 PM - Edit history (2)

I backed into a spot near a guy in another semi facing the opposite direction. We parked and got our gear together for a team shower, and as I was climbing down, the driver from that semi walked up to me and asked what my sticker meant.





I said that it meant that Russia put Trump in office, and he countered “No, they just proved that”.

I told him the wording was Russian government, and it wasn’t an ambassador who met with the campaign in the Trump Tower for supposed orphans. He shrugged it off, so I asked him if it was nothing, why did they lie about it. He said it didn’t matter, and I asked him why he was ok with a hostile foreign power selecting our president, and his reply was that if they did, they did the best thing possible for us.

I told him he is shitting on every veteran who ever served and was a fucking traitor.
Then I lost my shit and told him what I really thought of him.

Felt good.

That is basically a campaign ribbon for service in the Persian Gulf. The round sticker is a USN Shellback sticker, and also unseen is my ribbon bar on my door.

It was a WWII relic that ran on high pressure steam, but was good enough to go back and forth across the Pacific delivering ammunition to Saigon.

The only question is whether Barr is truthful in saying Mueller found that Trump people didn't coordinate this with the Russian government.

The key term Mueller used was "did not establish collusion". That sounds like a high level of proof.

Barr twisted it and weasel-worded it: he say "did not find collusion". As if there was zero evidence which we know is false.

much more narrowly than in the Rosenstein appointment letter.

Rosenstein didn't limit the investigation into coordination with the Russian "government" and he didn't limit it to activities related to the social media and election interference.

Barr didn't say Mueller found that Trump people didn't coordinate.
He said Mueller didn't find that they did.

A somewhat logical conclusion to Mueller's investigation whatever the facts, if say, Barr killed it.

Seriously.
The average undereducated Trumper hates the namby pamby academic style conversation you typically see on TV and in the pages of the NYT. They understand yelling and passion.

I try to yell at Trumpers when I see them. Or just call them suckers, and if they yell at me I yell back.

I’ve had that sticker for over 2 years. It is an ingrained habit to only release my tractor brake and give the trailer a little tuggie-tug to make sure it’s connected every time I’m out of site of my rig.

The fucking traitor is in a D&N rig across from me, and I am certain he knows I’ll yard him out and collect my due if there is a single thing untoward in, on, or around my rig.☠️

Well said friend

Worth every penny, if for no other reason than it is money that Cadet Bone Spur won't be able to use for his stupid white supremacist wall.
Also don't forget that even though the investigation could cost up to $35 million, Paul Manafort agreed to forfeit assets estimated to be worth at least $42 million.

Peace, Shalom, Salaam, K’é.

Also they need to realize as you pointed out, that they don’t hold the mantle of patriotism and morality like their talking heads proclaim.

You can't convince people of truths who refuse to acknowledge facts. They have blind confidence in the man because they don't know what a confidence man is.
