Question, is there usually 9 people in a firing squad? MacKasey Nov 2024 #1
At least 5 shooters are required, so 9 is very plausible and perhaps likely in some squads. LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #4
5-6 is de rigeur. WarGamer Nov 2024 #62
Six is traditional, but can be as many as 12, so this is NOT his "plausible deniabiity" because he said 9 hlthe2b Nov 2024 #15
Surely there's no one in this forum defending him on context. paleotn Nov 2024 #2
Yup, it's a bad mood to argue gas lighting. gab13by13 Nov 2024 #6
maher did that. mopinko Nov 2024 #11
Maher's a gaslighter too Clouds Passing Nov 2024 #21
he has his fans. mopinko Nov 2024 #27
I used to agree with many of Maher's markodochartaigh Nov 2024 #61
Not surprising. Maher has serious issues and needs good therapy. paleotn Nov 2024 #28
Count on Maher to pimp for trump. Paladin Nov 2024 #67

It's not only the other side. n/t LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #5
I stand by my post #3. gab13by13 Nov 2024 #7
In addition, Dems are not the only people who read this forum. Not by a long shot. LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #8
Well said. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #31
When he talks about his beautiful white skin Emile Nov 2024 #9
Yes it is. He's actually saying that white skin is better than dark skin. LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #13
Certainly makes sense. "Parading" the implied positive contrast of his "skin tone" w "others". Ugh. electric_blue68 Nov 2024 #71
no, barbtries Nov 2024 #44
Hmmm, they (in their minds) don't care, or are proud of their racism etc electric_blue68 Nov 2024 #73
Too magas, racism is a positive and maybe even the password to get into their sick little gatherings. Attilatheblond Nov 2024 #74
well said and well argued, LuckyCharms fishwax Nov 2024 #10

He's just not mentally competent enough to pull that off. Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #14
I disagree with your first sentence 100%. LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #17
In all of those, he's saying exactly what he wants to say, Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #25
I agree 100%! ShazzieB Nov 2024 #70
Yes, lack of impulse control is a result of his ongoing dementia... ananda Nov 2024 #24
I agree. CrispyQ Nov 2024 #32

It doesn't take mental competence... Think. Again. Nov 2024 #36
Lying doesn't take mental competence. Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #55

Before my spouse was diagnosed with cognitive impairment consistent with the early stages of Alzheimers Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #72
What I see happening with trump is simple "bullshitting". Think. Again. Nov 2024 #79
He simply doesn't have that cognitive ability and impulse control. Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #80
After a lifetime of doing it, it's inherent and habitual to any of his conversations. Think. Again. Nov 2024 #81
Lying, yes. Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #82
I disagree. edisdead Nov 2024 #60
He can barely read a teleprompter, let alone follow a message someone else crafted. Ms. Toad Nov 2024 #69

Dump was taught gaslighting, it is prime nature to him to gaslight others. That is the way he functions.. Clouds Passing Nov 2024 #23
+1. Exactly right. LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #26
it's true. barbtries Nov 2024 #30

He was a con man before he became a fascist. Now he's both. Martin Eden Nov 2024 #41
I think it's both. He is appealing to the deranged, who think acting insane is cool, like Eloonatic. Clouds Passing Nov 2024 #43
The dementia is definitely showing in many ways, but wnylib Nov 2024 #52
But ... does any of that attract undecided voters at this point? Martin Eden Nov 2024 #57
I don't think that Trump cares about attracting undecided voters. wnylib Nov 2024 #68
He and his Rethug accomplices plan to steal the election. Martin Eden Nov 2024 #75

May I share this on social media? edisdead Nov 2024 #58
Of course! LuckyCharms Nov 2024 #59
Take away everything Trump's supporters claim was a "joke" or "he didn't really mean," and there'd be nothing left. n/t Beartracks Nov 2024 #63
It's what Michael Cohen described as "code" 9 years ago. Nothing has changed. He learned it early. n/t Evolve Dammit Nov 2024 #64
It's clear that he wanted that ODDLY SPECIFIC/DETAILED imagery out there. Wingus Dingus Nov 2024 #65
