I dont have the patience to bother with lad on this, since when I would state them, he would either say that '[I] always have to be right', or do the usual lad thing when pointed out as something not correct, simply scuttle off without proffering that limb of 'no es la verdad' that might accompany that position from time to time.

A no-win/no-win situation from my point of view and not worth a fing iota of effort because of that.

I do know that on a whole slew of occasions I have expressed more than a sliver of displeasure with the measure of the man, and at least a couple of times expressed a difference of opinion with his policies. But all in all, the cost of dislodging lad from his Somme-like broad sweeping and very exceptional statement '*never* disagree', just isnt worth the fing effort (as noted before).

Almost all I can say to this post in lol.

Sorry to OO, it was very busy weekend without much time to response. I definitely do appreciate his willingness to point out a few things he disagrees with Trump on - like his response to me, that's the first time I remember him actually criticizing Trump. But like OO's memory of me having nothing positive to say, my memory is likely biased by the general overwhelming defense of Trump I see OO build.

So I'll walk back that he always defends Trump and couch it in the same way - he's a 95% Trump Does-No-Wronger.

Hope OO can forgive me for taking a few days to respond.

He has said those things a lot. As I have. I suggest next time either use the search function before making such broad sweeping extreme statements. Or perhaps just use common sense. Same result in this case.

You going to say the same thing to OO? I’ve spoken positively of the few things I think Trump has done well on - or does that frequency not meet your requirement of what “a lot” is?

I don't know how to use the search function. I am an old coot. I don't surf the Web on my phone - I use it for phone calls.
But if you kind people would give me lessons, I am sure it will make my rebuttals so much better.

My point was that it's silly to chide someone for "not using the search function" when that function is pretty rudimentary at best and wouldn't really allow someone to functionally search for posts where you or I say positive or negative things about Trump. If you want to get specific and see what we've posted about specific policies, that's a more reasonable search.

Plus, we both basically did the same thing to each other - overstated support/opposition to Trump, yet for some reason Tanq feels the need to stick up for only one side of that incident.
