"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ President Ronald Reagan

"It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us." ~ President Bill Clinton

"One of my proudest moments is I didn't sell my soul for the sake of popularity." ~ President George W. Bush

"We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn't a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith." ~ President Barack Obama

"I grab them by the pussy" ~ President Donald J. Trump

"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes,
OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart
—you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if,
like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the
smartest people anywhere in the world—it's true!—but when you're a
conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that's
why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went
there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my
like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged—but
you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would
have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are (nuclear
is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the
power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of
what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?),
but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it
used to be three, now it's four—but when it was three and even now, I
would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because,
you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter
right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about
another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Wasn't that Justin Trudeau that grabbed a woman by the pussy?

If you believe Trump put those words together you should register with the "Never Procreate" program (free under Obamacare) to have your nuts removed - you know for the sake of the gene pool.

Commas, syntax, and a complete sentence that actually contains a coherent thought. Completely impossible that this came from the maw of the proven illiterate that now sits in the Oval office, and you fucking know it. You never would have voted for this shithead if he ever spoke like that.

Did you know that his daily Intel briefing has been parred down to a single one-sided page of a handful of bulleted pictures? It's true.

So because Trudeau may have done something wrong, that makes it okay for Trump to do the same wrong? I see this kind of 'logic' from you and other Trump supporters quite frequently, and I always wonder why it is that you can't see the obvious moral flaws in it. Maybe you can help me understand. For example, would it be okay for Trump to murder his political opponents because Putin does it? Or does it always have to be someone on "the other team"?

Recently I saw a tweet from J. K. Rowling in response to Trump's statement that "[he] was a truly great writer. Written many best-sellers. It was about 20 lines of "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . !" punctuated with imitations of Trump's labored breathing when trying to read the teleprompter.

But this quote from Trumpie-boy beats all. It coincides with America's "greatness" falling to a level of crocodile piss.

We have enough threads of shitting on Trump, how about keeping it on topic?

"America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand." -Truman

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country." - Kennedy

Also from Kennedy:

"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

Emphasis added to make it more of a "quote" but the surrounding context is important.

"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives." - Reagan

The topic is about inspirational quotes from Presidents. There's nothing stopping you from providing an inspiration quote from Trump, except of course, Trump himself.

No, but if Trudeau did it, and Bill Clinton did worse, why the exaggerated outrage about Trump? Whoopee damn-doo, politicians suck.
