Sort of like voting for that guy on tv who played a White, Heterosexual Bigot. |

like those old EF Hutton commercials You have to give this to Trump When Trump speaks, people listen Just about every campaign stop by a politician, its a rehearsed script. Reporters know it word for word and hardly listen to a speech With Trump, every single reporter is listening intently.

I wouldn't go so far as to say no lobbyists. The President is a fink. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18800 | George Zimmerman can tell an interesting story. He says he was punched in the face. Not because the guy knew he was Zimmerman, but because the guy thought he was an enemy of George Zimmerman. In other words he says he was punched in the face by a fan of Zimmerman. The guy was drunk, he says. People at the place in question say they pushed each other, no punches thrown. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/zimmerman-punched-bragging-killing-trayvon-martin-article-1.2739089 You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Who really cares about a minor bar scuffle? The President is a fink. |

Isn't he your argument for people who don't change? He appears to be stuck-on-stupid. They did say he announced himself as George Zimmerman. Only an idiot who is already controversial wants to attract attention like that. Other people do that because they can afford body guards. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

He has seemed to keep finding trouble in that regard, but why would anyone care? His life has nothing to do with mine. Chances I ever meet him are effectively zero. The President is a fink. |
