You rally to the defense of Trump and/or the Republicans at every given opportunity. Using "TDS" unironically is a pretty strong sign of it. But here's a simple test:

Do you accept the evidence that Trump lies a large amount of the time?

Is Trump's suppression of climate science a concern for you?

Is it a problem to you that he fired Comey to obstruct the Russia investigation?

Are you worried that he's likely violating the emolument clause in the constitution?

When 16 women are accusing him of sexual assault and harassment, is that worrying to you?

I see we've moved the goalposts and added duhflection. I'll continue to wait for the evidence that I mindlessly cheerlead for Trump.

I am sure that you have managed to personally rationalize it as being something else ... but its not sparky! Rather a Russian .. Am I right?

In two years of posts you have not once said anything publicly to disagree with Trump. You call anyone that disagrees with you " fucktarded, liberal, snowflakes." I also could not find a single post of yours that had any argument more in depth than 'Ummm, no.' When presented with any coherent argument you fall back on ad hominem attacks. You have said at least twice that you vote straight Republican party ticket. All this adds up pretty neatly to someone that has never once questioned his position and just goes along with whatever conservative media tells them, in other words, mindlessly cheerleading.

Thread reads like a cheesy novel. But I'll go ahead and help you fellows out and spill the secret of how to get rid of Trump. Pick a better candidate to run next time.
50% of Republican knuckleheads believed Obama was a secret Kenyan interloper and the Democratic candidates are the problem?

So what beefs do you have with Trump, then? You can literally address the issue right now by bringing up a couple of points of contention. You don't have to go into detail.

It's funny, you claim that you're not a Trump drone, but so far you've bent over backwards to avoid saying a single bad thing about him.

When you produce the evidence that I mindlessly cheerlead for Trump, I'll answer your questions.

Answering my questions would be evidence. It's amazing how determined you are to dance around this. You could address everything with a sentence or two, but you'd rather waste that energy trying to make me spend hours digging through your post history.

Say one (meaningful) thing you dislike about Trump. Just one thing. Is it really that hard?

Edit: Apparently it is, because as GoodRevrnd noted, you appear to have limited profile viewing after been proven a liar.

Now there's a succinct takedown.

EDIT: Wait, did he limit viewing his profile after you posted this? Way to admit defeat guy.

I think it's cute that the TDS suffering fucktards like to white knight for each other. Talk about a cult.

Unfortunately, you won't share with us the secret that you have learned of how to suck one's own asshole.

Two words...Fox News.

Rush & the rest of talk radio (other than NPR) are actually worse. They have it on in the car & on the job for he last 30 years, only half listening. It bores right into their brains because their cognitive defenses are off. They have no idea why they believe much of what they believe, but they do, and they'll defend it reflexively.

Didn't SMOGZINN just call you out on your bullshit? We're the ones waiting for you to explain why you've lied. Then again, you are a mindless Trump drone, so lying is practically second nature to you...

I would like to try a different approach. Personally, I am uninterested is the argument you are having with other members here. They seem to want to call you a Trump drone and you seem to disagree. What I would be interested in hearing is what you feel your real position is and why you think the others I mentioned don't want to or unable for some reason to get it.

My own attitude is that Trump is such a dangerous menace that he drives liberals to irrationality to the extent they have lost a sense of fairness in the charges against others they are willing to level. So, if you weren't busy fending off charges you believe are inaccurate, what would you say about Trump?

I am not upset by people who like him. I think most Trump supporters feel morally justified in their beliefs. I just don't happen to agree.

Your white knight doesn't get to answer for you (it was a shit answer anyway). Either produce the posts that show that I "mindlessly carry the water for Trump" or admit you were wrong. One of those two things is what a man would do. A bitch would continue to do what you've been doing since I called you on your BS.

No, I will not repeat the work someone else has done. Also, "men" (you mean any good person, unless you're sexist) actually say what they believe, they don't write paragraph after paragraph to avoid writing one line. Besides, your position may have evolved. How do I know that what you said before reflects what you believe now?

Say one thing you don't like about Trump. Say it and this all goes away. But you won't, because you're a coward.

The TDS in this country has gotten so bad that the liberals are actively defending MS-13, encouraging NK to keep their nukes, in full-throated support of illegal immigration, wishing for more dead cops, are disappointed because the wrong gun was used during a school shooting and support attempted rape for political expediency. Keep telling yourself it's the Republicans that are insane.
Hey just a heads up, you might want to revise your sig so it's compliant with the administration's current NK policy.
