Defend This

Of the three standard right wing tools for avoiding ever defending an atrocious act or statement, [Deny, Deflect, Attack,] that would be Deflection.
Commonly called 'Whataboutism.'

Yep. We could almost feel sorry for them, forced into the position of having to constantly defend the immoral, unintelligent, racist POS over and over, because every day brings a fresh horror. What was that definition of insanity again?
 
Hello ThatOwlWoman,

These are sad times for America, despite the burgeoning wealth -- which of course is mostly in the hands of the 1%, not us. But hey, if we can still have our giant flatscreen TV, cheap and plentiful food, and constant entertainment -- who cares what the sociopath in the WH does, right? I hope that I'm right on this: I believe that most of America is NOT represented by the handful of racist, bigoted Reichtards who post here defending the Swine-in-Chief. I believe that most of us are decent, caring human beings who abhor what that criminal and his floozy strumpet have done to America.

Thanks for the link and putting the conversation back on topic. You've probably noticed the deranged toxic poster who tries to make every thread about her and her Amazon war.

You're welcome. Yeah, the secret is to not take the bait.

Trump learned his technique from Roger Stone: Deny-Deflect-Attack. Never answer for anything. The President sets the pace for his followers. They are only taking their queues from their leader.

Trump supporters are going to try to steer the conversation away from things that embarrass the President or make him look bad, and towards anything else they want to talk about. So the trick is to recognize this kind of deflection for what it is and to stop engaging with that. No matter what it is, just keep bringing the discussion back to the OP. That de-powers the deflectors. Takes their little mind game trick out of the equation.

Bottom line is there is no defense for standing there for a pic with this big (you know what kind of) grin on his face and giving the thumbs-up sign as he stands with grief-stricken family members of a baby who is only alive because his parents took the bullets which would have killed him.

Of course they are not going to defend it.

Of course they are going to try to deflect the conversation to something else.

They don't want the focus to be about how despicable and inappropriate the President is.

But he is.

Trump is despicable.

Brooks is right.

Trump is a sociopath.
 
Another deflection.

This is interesting. The Toadstool's former communications director, who spent years defending the crook, now has this to say: "Eventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country."

This of course caused Trumpelthinskin to immediately have a meltdown and go on a Twitter rampage. Check out the replies from the citizens! They're priceless -- and hilarious. Feel the burn, Toadstool, feel the burn. It's nothing compared to what you're gonna be feeling next year.

 
Well, she's doing a bang up job now-of everything you mention;) Aren't you paying attention?

I believe I have told you this repeatedly, even though you keep attempting to respond to me.

See if you can get this through your skull: I am not interested in reading your barely literate posts or engaging you in any way - I find you mind-numbingly boring, not interesting in the least, not well spoken, clearly not well educated, not funny, not entertaining, and prone to being addicted to 8th grade-level gossip, innuendo, and scurrilous rumour.

I do not share your interests or your level of intellect or discourse.

yes

I call them divertobot holes


when someone makes a good point they send in the divertobot


wack was mine for years

he would actually seek me out at other sites when I wasn't here

he would try and make it all about me personally

he did this until He was SOOOOO discredited by me that he ran like the chicken shit he is and now bans me from everything


all because I pointed out to him his daughter will some day hate him for what he now supports

and she will

many right wing spawn grow up and become ASHAMED of their racist parents


divertabots are real scum
 
Trump is a sociopath.

Yes, he is. Isn't it fascinating that this weak, incurious, mercurial moron is seen as a strong man by his followers? There's no explaining it. If there was a (D) politician with exactly the same characteristics, the RWers would be frothing and spewing and seething about him/her without end.

Then don't reply:) That was easy:)

I've petitioned the mods to have the piteous skank retro-banned. In the meantime, we adults can talk over her wails for attention.

sociopaths

that is why russo bot holes work so well on the actual republican voter


they are full of sociopaths and people so stupid a sociopath can fool them into following evil
 
No, it's not. But one time CF posted an internal link to a discussion here on JPP where *I* mentioned Goodreads. And Toxic tagged after her for weeks saying that she was going to be banned for "doxing" and posting "personal info." The mods totally disregarded the reports as the bullshit that they were. Ask 'em if you don't believe that. Toxic lives to get ppl banned. It's as though it's the only thing that makes her feel like she has any power or something.

This is the link that CF posted, that had Toxic all in a twist. As everyone can see, there is no doxing or personal info in it, except in the feverish imagination of a very ill individual. Hopefully she will re-report this post and get a temp ban spanking for being an annoyance to the adults.

I was just throwing his BS back at him.

Good call, and let me get back on track by saying this.

All presidents in my lifetime were capable of practicing tact, good social etiquette, diplomatic decorum, and impeccable manners.

All of them. Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, George W. Bush.

That should be a bare minimum expectation of the job. They are representing the United States of America.

I would have never thought that 40 percent of Americans - aka, republicans and conservatives - would stand on the sidelines cheering for a grossly overweight reality TV show host with appalling social protocol and truly embarassing social etiquette.
 
Hello ThatOwlWoman,

Yes, he is. Isn't it fascinating that this weak, incurious, mercurial moron is seen as a strong man by his followers? There's no explaining it. If there was a (D) politician with exactly the same characteristics, the RWers would be frothing and spewing and seething about him/her without end.

They see the President in a very different light. They think he is a refreshing change from the swamp of DC, that he is 'on their side' because he says hateful things and mocks being PC. They are willing to forgive a lot or just look the other way at almost any digression. They always give Trump the benefit of the doubt and are willing to quickly seize upon any flimsy excuse for his behavior. They are willing to discount the FBI, the CIA, Mueller, 'the liberal media,' or anything anyone else tells them if they don't already believe it.

Many of them think there is a secret society trying to topple Trump. They think any talk of digging into Trump's taxes or financial records is just a partisan political attack. They don't want to know if he's dirty. So, that is exactly where we need to go. And fortunately, that wheel just began to turn. All kinds of requested bank records and mortgage records were just now turned over to federal and New York State investigators from Bank of America, CitiBank, Deutsche Bank, and Countrywide Mortgage.

If solid evidence indicates fraud, money laundering or tax evasion - that talks.

The other stuff is just talk. Words. Noise. All they hear is a sort of annoying buzzing sound they call it when liberals speak. Righty's are going to just filter out anything liberals say and give Trump the benefit of the doubt.

Now, we're speaking a language they can't spin. Money. Numbers.

You know what they say. BS walks. Money talks.

Well, as soon as we are talking about money laundering, fraud or tax evasion, then we are talking about money. That's what Manafort said he would be going down on. Money. Dirty money deals. Now we are going to get to see them.

Yaay. At last.

It is quite the spectacle.
