    It wasn't "the polls" that were wrong; it was the interpretation of the polls that wasn't correct. The results were within the margin of error.

    Bonespurs was badly beaten at the polls, but the electoral college saved his fat orange ass.

    But I digress. Your implicit "point" was that Bonespurs' election was somehow a mandate to do stupid ****. It was not, because he lost the popular vote badly.

    Why can't he? Of course he wants to win, that's what western values are all about. Why would you want a President that doesn't like to win? Didn't we have that for 8 years with Obama? What did we get from that? A stronger Russia, stronger China, ISIS....that is what is dangerous for the world

    Dodging the draft suggest his number came up and he ran...that didn't happen. You'd excuse the behavior for people like BIll Clinton, you are only trying to use it against Trump because he beat your flawed party

    Western values don't involve lying, cheating, being a scofflaw and committing obstruction of justice, my friend.

    Bbbbbbbbbbbut what about Bill Clinton!!!???

    He sucked balls, too.

    Meanwhile, Bonespurs sucks bigger, hairier balls. His daddy called in a favor and a phony diagnosis of bone spurs was the result. His number may have come up, or not. But he rigged the system by making sure his number would never come up.

    It's nice to see that you're OK with that, though.

    My ex-girlfriend's grandfather was one of the soldiers sent to Omaha Beach. He survived physically, but his mind could not stand it. He retired from the army in 1945, died in 1990. Until his last day, he believed that the war in Europe is still not over.

    Winning is good but only if you follow the rules. Western states don't accept rules made by criminals. But Donald does.

    No, my point was he is celebrated by the general populace in Europe like he is here.

    Hes hated by establishment government types and those who cherish big government, as he is here.

    Just like in Japan where people crowded the streets to chant his name as he drove by. Maybe they're stupid too, who knows?

    It honestly sounds like you're still pretty butthurt over the election. You should take out that anger on the DNC and Hillarys refusal to appeal, let alone campaign, to mid-America.

    As someone who willingly served...

    I dont want people next to me who dont want to be there. 60 years ago it was different, but these days, if you dont want to knuck up and carry your own weight, I'd rather you stay home. We had two who were like that, and we left them back at the base to sweep our sandy motor pool. That's all they did for days, was sweep dirt around. Should have never been there in the first place.

    Just my personal opinion.

    So perhaps you can explain to us all why it was more important for him to stay in his hotel rather than honor the dead at the US Military Cemetery. I mean after all, every other world leader braved the rain to pay tribute to our fallen. It's a damn shame our POTUS couldn't do the same.

    Are you sure Japanese people crowded the streets to chant his name? Did you mean the US service people aboard the Wasp?

    How would I know what was going on? Perhaps you can explain to us why you claimed "he was the ONLY world leader to not be at the 100 year anniversary of Armistice Day." when he clearly attended a number of events? Trump Derangement Syndrome........perhaps? LOL

    Trump derangement syndrome is a neologism used to describe irrational reactions to United States President Donald Trump's statements and political actions, with little regard towards Trump's actual position or action taken.

    You need new material. The "you lost" gig is getting old. The reason we don't worship your god is because he is a despicable, irreligious, libertine. Hillary what's her name has nothing to do with it. Trump could have defeated the devil hisself and he would still be a despicable, irreligious, libertine. I guess we could throw in egomaniacal narcissist too. Funny what you love isn't it? But hey, that's you.

    Except paying his respects to the fallen at the cemetery. But no big deal right? He's only the POTUS when he feels like it I guess.

    She has everything to do with it, because I'd bet she would be your president.

    FDR was as racist as that scum-sucker Wilson was.

    Let's see of there is a difference here:

    Pelosi made her comment in Washington, D.C.
    Trump made his comments in Normandy, France

    Pelosi made her comment in a private meeting and was leaked to the press
    Trump made his comments in full view and on international television with a FOX interviewer

    Pelosi refused to comment on anything political while in a foreign country
    Trump leashed a scathing attack on political opponents while in Normandy - might I also add, while sitting in the American cemetery in plain view of thousands of headstones of American dead.

    If there were a larger word than "despicable" for Trump, I would have used it.

    PARIS (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s trip to Paris. (all times local):

    11:30 p.m.

    President Donald Trump paid tribute to U.S. and allied soldiers killed in World War I during what he called “a horrible, horrible war” that marked America’s emergence as a world power.

    Trump made his comments Sunday at the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in the suburbs of Paris, where more than 1,500 Americans who died in the war are buried. He said that world leaders “are gathered together at this hallowed resting place to pay tribute to the brave Americans” who gave their lives in that war.

    Trump said: “It is our duty to preserve the civilization they defended and to protect the peace they so nobly gave their lives to secure one century ago.” He made the comments after spending a moment standing alone amid the cemetery’s white crosses.

    Does This Photograph Show President Trump Visiting a WWI Cemetery in the Rain?
    President Trump was widely criticized for skipping a ceremony commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I due to the rain, but he did attend another event (also in the rain) to honor the occasion.

    You really should just stop, it's kinda pitiful.

    So he only pays respect to the fallen on days where the weather is nice.

    I guess he felt like being POTUS for half his trip.

    Can you imagine your outrage if Obama decided to stay in and miss going to one of the cemeteries because it was rainy? LOL
