Trump loses game of chicken

My actual point here is that BJS, MD, says that Trump loses his game of chicken, but the article he posts says that Trump signed legislation that funds the government for a few weeks with limited funding only going towards essential personnel. How can you possibly read that as a losing scenario? It's almost like he loves Trump and supports him, but he just isn't ready to admit it yet. You'll come around one day BJS, if you're as smart as you claim to be that is....

Someday you will learn the difference between news and opinion. I know it's hard for you Republicans, so let me start to educate you.

Lesson 1:
The article is news. My comment is opinion based on the article.

Lesson 2:
Opinions are interpretive. We read things that are factual and interpret them, then express them as opinion if we choose.

Lesson 3:
Pull your head out of your rear... The view is better and the world makes more sense.

BJS, clearly not as smart as he claims to be.....

Do you know what the difference between God and doctors is?........God doesn't think he's a doctor.

Do you know what the difference between you and me is?

I don't think I'm smarter then you, until you insult me. Then I know I'm smarter than you...

So posting a pro-Trump comment is okay, but an anti-Trump comment is trolling?

“Trolling” is initiating the provocation.

FWIW  I think XTR also “trolls”

Both of you are incorrect. It doesn't matter if the bulk of the population is Republican here. That doesn't mean I'm a troll for posting Liberal perspectives.

However, if people respond with the intent to only insult me, THAT is trolling.

This is a piece of revisionist history since you're the one who started by calling any conservatives vapid.

And that is exactly what your tone, language and actual name calling does. Refreshing to see a troll admit that that is all he is. Thank you.
