Trump is a buffoon with no filter. He is no better or worse in essence than other politicians, but his buffoonery acts as a very effective smoke screen from the real issues.

I disagree, not about the smoke screen but about him not being any worse than other politicians. He is, because most of the others know how to play the game. He doesn't. Hell, even George W knew how.

Yup. He is not playing.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Nineteen year olds can not buy a pistol, so lets put them in tanks and give them 120mm cannons.

You may not understand the finer points here but this is not a good thing.

A politician with ill intent who knows how to play the game is more dangerous than a politician with ill intent who sits on the toilet at 2am sending crazy tweets. Knowing how the game is played would only make Trump more dangerous. IMO.

Which would make him less dangerous, because he is in fact utterly clueless?

It's hard to tell. History is full of dangerous yet seemingly ridiculous dictators.

He's a buffoon with the self control of a 5 yr old IMO.

Running around with not only the keys to armory, but a whole military force at his disposal, the nuke codes, and an army of crazy Evangelicals thumping their bibles in unison marching behind him.

You would think with all that praying and laying on hands they do one of them would at least recite an exorcism rite just to be safe.  :laugh:

Probably a committee to pre-vet his Tweets would have been smart.

On some levels Trump is less dangerous because he doesn't know how the game is played, he makes a lot of noise though. On another level if he is allowed to call the shots in the event of a major international crisis, we could all be in a lot of trouble.

Yes. Great narrative you all share. How has he handled ISIS? North Korea? Syria? Yup keep up with spouting of propaganda and pretend that it was both iriginal and rational thought

You need to understand the pathology of a chronic shit stirrer. Notice in historical context he has thrown stones into a still economy and bought between the ripples to his own gain. He is doing the same thing as our President. Unsustainable, but just look at our "averages" climbing against past years.

Not always in agreement, but lowering our taxes is a big thing! I am considered upper middle class in yearly income and my taxes should go down by about six thousand dollars with next year's tax return.
That and no longer penalizing people who have yet to figure out their own family's health care third party pay program is huge as well.
