Why are they at the beach? It’s because they’re getting ready for the 2nd wave, the 3rd wave, the 4th wave…

This sounds like good analysis. Your Navy experience may have included serving at sea on smaller ships. You might appreciate this one:

setnaffa: That actually did bring back some memories. I served aboard the USS CARL VINSON (great ship), the USS INDPENDENCE (not great), and I was TAD aboard the USNS WALTER S. DIEHL for a week (quite the experience). While aboard the DIEHL, I participated in an UNREP with the VINSON while TAD from that very ship.

If they let johnhenry on American ships three times, he must have kept his hate for America to himself.

But I guess he served a valuable function…

…as sheep would have been too obvious.

johnhenry, saying “Trump is a racist…” without evidence is usually followed by “…elected by racists.

If you think calling people racist without specific evidence is not hatred, you need to look more closely at what happens to people accused of racism.

You should go back and respond to CH’s questions. We’ll still tease you; but it might no longer be about Canadian sheep. After all, the Navy and other services regularly joke around…

Without evidence? Yeah, right. Trump’s birtherism was pure racism. If you’re not going to accept that, will you accept The Atlantic’s view? Here you go: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/06/trump-racism-comments/588067/

And what about this from the Brookings Institute? https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2019/08/14/trump-and-racism-what-do-the-data-say/

Trump’s a racist. I don’t believe that everyone who voted for him is a racist. They’re just stupid for voting for an incredibly incompetent fool.

Happy now?

So my response is awaiting moderation. That’s amusing. I have not insulted anyone here, yet others have insulted me.

“That’s amusing. I have not insulted anyone here, yet others have insulted me.”

The moment you started yapping about “racist-in-chief” and “embarassment to America” and other such nonsense, you came close to insulting many people here.

Now that is actually fine. You are welcome to believe what you wish. You can even express that belief.

But where you actually insulted people is when you threw out these claims but completely refused to explain yourself. You are speaking like a statue-toppling soy boi screaming about racism and fascism and OrangeManBad and everybody who supports Trump is a Nazi and America was never great and any plan to protect America is racist.

And there are a lot of pro-American people here who are tired of being screwed over by dishonest trading partners, lazy allies, third world parasites, America-hating globalists, fake-socialist ruling elite, a chronically dependent underclass, constant regulation of the productive class, those using various anti-American alarmism for wealth transfers, etc. The media provides enough “racist-in-chief” cover for these entities to last the day without you shoving it in everyone’s face.

Which would all actually STILL be tolerable if you had thoughtful reasons behind your statements that were worthy of consideration; yet when encouraged to explain just how Trump is racist or how his agenda is bad for America or what alternative equally pro-American agenda you would prefer, you were unable or unwilling to answer.

So you further insult many others here. You seem to have no intelligent opinion that everyone could consider and incorporate into their greater understanding of the situation. You seem no more than just another pre-programmed cuck screaming racism to get your way, demanding rights you already have, expecting special treatment, and yelling about fascism that isn’t going to happen unless you bring it on yourself (and everyone else, as well).

And this all happens amid a snotty attitude of anti-Americanism. Though, yet again, you STILL have the opportunity to explain your equally pro-American alternative ideas which are the opposite of Trump’s.

To make it another level of simple, “racist” is no longer a descriptor. It is a meaningless insult and you threw that insult out with zero intention of explaining yourself.

So, yes, you insulted others, and you continue to insult everyone who supports the pro-American agenda of who you call the globally embarrassing racist clown in the White House.

So explain yourself or accept the coming wave of ridicule that is deserved by all noisy disruptive little brats.

And that post from CH is a prime example of hypocrisy and untruth.

ChickenHead

You are typing words, hypocrisy and untruth, but like racist, they are simply meaningless insults without an explanation why you think so.

So back to the question you are avoiding…

What equally pro-American programs would you replace Trump’s agenda with?

With anti-Trump opinions as strong as yours, certainly you put a tiny bit of thought in how things should be done better, right? And you are smart enough to explain these superior ideas in a rational and convincing way, right? You aren’t some sort of useful idiot spreading mindless hate to damage America and unable to defend ideas that you yap on about but never really deeply considered, are you?

We await.

By the way, the number one pro-American program I support is following the United States constitution. Trump seems to have an issue with doing so.

johnhenry, you just told us you have no opinions other than #NenerTrump, and again gave out a grand assertion with no specific examples.

I can’t believe that of you. But you keep doubling down…

1. What, specifically, would you like to see the President (whoever it might be) do to help all Americsns.

2. What, specifically, has Trump done in violation of the Constitution?

3. Who, specifically, do you believe would make the best replacement for Donald Trump? And why?

Answer me these questions three…

Here’s your chance to avoid being teased as a Canadian with a sheep fetish. We might tease you about the Navy stuff though…

Johnhenry, you shameful excuse for a man.

Instead of giving clear answers to clear questions to support your deep beliefs, you lazily link to some hit job website that collected every out-of context and misleading event that can be warped into looking like something distasteful done by Trump.

What you have not done is answer the simple questions that back up your loud anti-American Canadian mouth.

You were given a list of Trump’s pro-American programs, from increased fair trade to decreased goal-less war, that appear to be beneficial to America. All you must do is explain why they are not and then suggest your equally pro-American improved replacement program.

You may also explain what specific actions Trump is doing which hurt America and make him an embarrassment and a clown.

Then you should probably back up your claim that Trump has problems following the constitution with actual examples.

So you have three simple little things to do to reclaim whatever manhood wasn’t taken from you in a Nimitz-class supercarrier shower room back in the day.

If it is really that hard to do, perhaps you you should practice a bit of introspection and admit to yourself that you are wrong.

Johnhenry, the childish insults started, and will accelerate, because you ran your Canadian mouth with dumáss anti-American insults in a forum that has a bit of fondness for a successful America.

And when called out, you whined like a little bìtch with a skinned knee about mistreatment instead of simply explaining yourself like an adult.

Despite.given repeated opportunity and an audience truly interested to hear your thoughts, you are unable to express yourself in any intelligent adult way.

This is how the shìtty little kids in elementary school behave, talking smack they can’t back up… until they get popped in the mouth.

So if you want to act like a child, expect to get treated like a child. And, protip here, don’t respond to childish treatment with even more childishness.

So what do you say, Johnhenry, are you ready to sit at the big boy table and explain your presumably rational adult thoughts in a rationally adult way?

Chickenhead, maybe I’ll answer this question:

“what specific actions Trump is doing which hurt America and make him an embarrassment and a clown.”

Trump is going to be making a deal with China before he leaves office, you can bet your life on it. What Trump cares more than anything is the $$ signs, photo ops, and the thoughts of getting the Nobel peace prize to make his own tiny sexual organ enlarge itself from his large ego blowing up. All the US allies, at least the smart ones, should be aware of this by now, and they should not take sides, or face China’s wrath when the US makes the deal with China.

Korean Man, you really need to look deeper than the mainstream media and whatever missives you get from Beijing or Pyongyang (not sure who controls you). The MAGA hat says ” Make AMERICA Great Again” Although Trump is a wealthy man by making deals and risk taking, he truly wants whats best for the US as a nation and as an economy. I think despite is drunken (he is a tee-totaler) midnight ramblings on Twitter, he sees a US where manufacturing returns to the US, where there is an offset, higher wages versus lower shipping and distribution costs. He might sign a deal with China, but it will be the best deal he can squeeze out of them. I really doubt he will be looking to line only his and his cronies pockets. I did not vote for Trump in 2016 and won’t vote in 2020, but right now, he looks like the best choice from the major parties in the US. The other major candidate seems to be running an “I’m not Trump, vote for me!” campaign which although effective for the mindless voters who can’t look past the letter at the end of his name, will not resonate with voters who actually look at an issue or all the issues when deciding on a candidate.

[Act III. Scene III. In which Beijing Man does a worse job of explaining what johnhenry believes than johnhenry.]

I would think even an E-1 bosun’s mate, with permanent red lead under his fingernails, 10 Article 15s, and a BCD (after 19.5 years) would have more pride than let an obvious TenCentArmy wannabee “defend” him in this crowd… And your service was much more Honorable, so stand up and be counted!!

American-hating commies run in packs.

Do we use the same standards of “KKK likes Trump so Trump is KKK”…

…”The anti-American commie shill supports johnhenry sooooo…”

Anyway…

Korea Man, thanks for the try… but your answer to my question about what Trump is doing (now) was not given an answer.

In its place was some kind of fortune telling, a wild guess, or perhaps a fevered imagination.

Whatever the case, it was not an actual answer.

Sidenote: I think you are right. I think Trump is going to make a deal with China. I have no idea what the deal will be, but I would bet good money that it will be a far better deal for America than any deal currently in place.

Johnhenry, what’s wrong? Bùtthole got your tongue?
