    Donald J Trump is exactly what this country deserves after the way it treated Barack Obama.

    History will prove me correct.

    Says someone who can't live a single day without saying Obama or Hillary numerous times a day. LMAO

    Do you have anymore space in your head for Libs or the MSM? Or will you charge them rent?

    yes, i've ****ing read hobbes. jesus christ. i'm rejecting what you believe because i understand it better than you, not because i'm unfamiliar with it. how can you live in a liberal society and think that the tenets of liberalism are unknown to someone you're arguing with from the same society?

    I'm familiar with the discourse around the state of nature. Hobbesians argue that the state of nature is violent, bloody, and chaotic, and that the state arises as a result of a sovereign imposing order upon the state of nature and creating civil society. The problem with this is that the state of nature is not violent, bloody, and chaotic. Artifacts are constantly being recovered from early peoples, nomadic and settled, that reveal that people living together in an area and getting along well enough to live as a unit is far, far older than the conception of the nation state.

    Just as Reagan was elected to wipe the disaster of Jimmy Carter, Trump was sent to wipe the mistake of Obama.

    His second term landslide will show you that.

    Yes, and the reason they banded together into those units is to protect themselves from the people trying to kill them.

    How much conflict is there in history books again?

    Do you keep a post/word count on me? It’s ok, it is a public forum, but rather creepy and stalker like.

    Who was trying to kill them? Why? How many conflicts has the nation state actually prevented?

    Other groups of people who wanted their food, to use them as slaves, or their money and possessions.

    This is why people band together into groups: protection.

    No no no, it does matter.

    Go ahead and tell us how badly Obama was treated by the "country" so I can have a nice laugh.

    Why? He did not get my vote. I am just not caught up so emotionally as you are in his personality.

    I know little of Hobbes, a few vague memories from 55 years ago, while in college. I only recited to you what I have learned in 75 years of walking about on this earth. Which makes your ideas fanciful, given human nature has not evolved since we became homo sapiens. We need another source of order, which comes naturally, in order to pull off your nation-less world. Human nature would turn your ideas into a helluva nightmare.

    I read his direct quote, which you re-posted. He clearly stated that in his opinion, the meeting was treasonous. He allowed that others might think it was not, and his main point was that Donnie Jr. should have called the FBI immediately.

    I was never confused on this. I didn't ask you to simply parrot what was written. My question to you is where is the treason in simply accepting a meeting? It may have been ill advised and naive, but treason is a serious charge. You must have more information beyond a speculative partisan rant if you're going to carry that torch. Please share.....

    What fall? Not being one of his voters, I expect nothing from him. My expectation was with Sanders.

    My position on trump is not driven by emotions. You and others seem to be obsessed, and very emotional about the fellow. You spend your days straining out gnats. And turning them into elephants.

    I'm not sure what you're babbling about.

    I'm glad 8 years of mediocrity makes you happy though. Good for you.

    You see, the way this is going to work out, is that Obama will be revealed for the amateur asbestos-remover in chief that he was as Trump methodically unravels the damage Obama did.

    That said, I'm experiencing quite a bit of joy over it, so no idea what you're talking about there.

    Also, I couldn't help but notice you clearly wanted to avoid answering the question.

    How about it? Want to tell me how the "country" treated Obama or would you like to continue your pathetic deflections?

    Obsessed? When you witness a Trainwreck ... what's your emotion?

    Well why mediocrity was passing you by, I was cashing in.

    doesn't mater who paid for the research, the FBI got a hold of it and it collaborated much of what they already knew, so they investigated it

    He's looking for a golden parachute, nothing more. A soft place to land. He leaked a comment about a quip in his book (much like a movie trailer). It's a marketing ploy. :roflol:
