What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Valmy]

I mean he treats his opponents with so little respect and shows so little care for decorum I guess it shouldn't be suprising when he fosters that in his opponents.

Still sad to see the President, the office anyway, treated that way.

People chanting vote him out is very tame. Why do you guys revere the office so much anyway. It's perverse.

It is unseemly, we are supposed to pretend the President is our most illustrious servant of the people. And the politeness has a purpose so fights and gunfights don't break out in mixed public gatherings. This is America after all.

It is obvious isn't it?

Oh, Grumbler is totally obsessed with Zoupa.  It's actually creepy.  One of my hidden cameras once caught Grumbler digging through Zoupa's trash.

  I thought that it was Raz with the creepy cameras all over the place!  I never suspected the Canadian Conspiracy!

I will admit that I am obsessed with opposing stupidity.  Sorry that it looks like I am singling you out, Zoupa.  Really, I am not.  It's just an artifact of the languish membership.

This might be a bad example, though, because it looks like you misinterpreted Zoupa's post.  When he asked why we guys revere the office so much, he wasn't taking "vote him out" as a sign of reverence that he was questioning, he was taking Valmy's expression of sadness as a sign of reverence.  Zoupa's post seemed to make perfect sense to me.

Zoupa said what Zoupa said, which was "People chanting vote him out is very tame. Why do you guys revere the office so much anyway."  The linkage between tame action and revere office is perfectly clear.  If that linkage was unintentional and Zoupa was just randomly combining sentences, then we're back to my point.

I can't judge whether Zoupa's grammar was perfect, for obvious reasons, but regardless, reading people's posts requires some good-faith effort to understand what they meant to convey.  It doesn't seem like a stretch to see from the context that Zoupa was reacting to Valmy's sadness in his second sentence.  If you meant to convey that Zoupa's second sentence should've been "As far as you being sad, why do you guys revere the office so much anyway.", in order to clearly break the linkage from the first sentence, then it was probably not the most pedagogically effective way to accomplish that.

I think that died when we let the Russians into Cuba.

You had to realign them out of there as soon as the Fidel event was played.

NYT just broke a story detailing the President's tax returns.

The man paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and $750 in federal income taxes in 2017.
