He does get a pass to a degree because of the fact you won't talk about whether or not a change in his tone or "care" in his messages will make a difference, since for the most part it likely won't. Why should Trump act the way some of his critics think he should, if those critics wouldn't change even if Trump did? There are times when the msm or his opposition start something, and lie about him, and yet some people turn a blind eye to it. I don't like it when he clearly lies, but if him telling the truth won't change the lies told about him, why should he change if his opposition won't? Putting up the white flag knowing the enemy is just going to walk up and stab you anyway would be beyond pathetic and un-American.

If you're going as far to say that Trump needs to basically become a Democrat like President in order to get his opposition to change as well, what you're asking for is to undo an election by the people, which is not how America operates, and those that can't stand to live with it, are free to try another country. Good luck to them, because they're going to need all of it.

That's where this all started, with the misspelled tweet, so if you don't care about the tweet and story that goes with it, why bother arguing about it to then ask why anyone cares about it?

I kind of assumed when you pointed out it could be that it's simply a spelling mistake, and I should believe he simply made a spelling mistake, which shows me who he is, which would be an idiot, that was the point. Sorry for getting that all mixed up. I was a little dehydrated and I chose the red juice over the blue kool aid that time. Bad decision on my part..

I never said Trump is perfect, and just like you and I, everyone makes mistakes and thinks and says dumb things at least every so often. Thank goodness the language listening and penalty devices haven't been installed everywhere quite yet. Demolition man needs to remain a movie and not become prophecy.

Instant communication to everyone in the country and potentially the world is dumb? You would rather have the msm try and get you the facts, so you can figure out who's facts are correct or more worthy and who's are not? Were prior Presidential radio or TV announcements dumb? Would they have become dumb if they were held more often? If they said dumb things would it be ok since they were live?

I would guess why people have a hard time staying around him has to do with the headaches from the outside. It's why after I left home I rarely see my mother anymore because she's the type of person to go after you consistently and put you down or flat out destroy you (if she really doesn't like you), just because she isn't getting her way, no matter how minuscule or nonsensical her idea or reason may be. Not a surprise though since we rarely ever saw grandma because she was the exact same way, and treated my mother just as bad, even right in front of us. Dad doesn't like to spend much time around me either simply because if mom finds out she'll make his life hell for an extended period of time. Same old, same old lefty tactics. Mom mostly dislikes Trump and is always watching the msm btw. Could you have guessed?

Thanks for the compliment.

Oh no, someone is realizing that Eric wears a T-shirt.

Wrong, Eric has his T-shirt.

So this means Maine could join a select few other states that don't render votes irrelevant when they were casted for a runner-up in the state?

I hoped to be amused and the link didn't disappoint.

"Our gun problem pales in comparison to our health care problems and fast food obsession!"

Even your link states a number of more than 5,000 after excluding a variety of other instances that result in gun-related deaths. Worth to note is that all those numbers concern only lethal outcomes, but gun violence should of course also include non-lethal incidents.

I've looked a bit more into this topic and what's alarming is that Austria - a backwards country which ranks low among European countries with gun-related deaths affecting 0.003% of its population - is still doing comfortably better than the USA's rate of 0.009%. I've rounded up Austria's value and rounded down the USA's, by the way.

Stats show that US-Americans own roughly three times as many guns as Austrians per capita, so that could explain part of it, but then again, Germany and Iceland have the same amount of guns relative to their total population while their mortality rate isn't half of Austria's.

Japan's gun-related deaths affect only 0.00006% of its population, so the takeaway is that more waifus and less guns are better for everyone.
