Do you like Trump?

Makes sense: this is the most "contradictory" set of beliefs the left would come across so of course labels make no sense.

No, what is ridiculous is respecting his convictions. Lots of bad people have convictions, do you respect them too? That he believes something a lot, irrespective of what that belief is, is not admirable.

Lets play a game. Talk like Trump would.

"Ahem*

"And you know, Bill Cosby was such a nice guy. Jury was paid off.. Railroaded, so so obvious.. Liberal bias media fake news.

I really liked Fat Albert, always a lesson for young blacks. They lived in a ghetto and never stole, never looted. Role model african americans.

Bill Cosby should revive the franchise. He can do that in prison, voice act. Hollywood does it all the time, hires ex cons and cons. Taught lessons in the ghetto, can teach lessons from prison.. So so many blacks in prison, and going to prison, and they need role models... For when they get to prison."

On that note, some of the volunteer work I've done (please, please, get in a line to pat me on the back for my charity work) involved currently incarcerated criminals.

We'd always have time to chat before and after the charity events (such as setting up fund raisers, wiring events, etc.: all programs intended to help currently incarcerated criminals get "good points" to parole early or show good "deeds" that they volunteered to give back to the community - you had to be eligible for these events with good behavior). Many of these dudes just got caught doing the same things I had done as a kid such as fighting and it going too far. Luckily, I didn't cripple anyone or kill anyone during my fights or I could have ended up in their same situation.

Some of it was drug related - and we all know how butt mad I am about the drug war.

Regardless, I felt a common theme: not much difference between them and I. Some were intelligent and seemed like they could have had an amazing career if it wasn't for one or two terrible life choices.

My opinion is, I don't think truly evil people exist very much. Bad choices and bad moments exist, yes. The really evil people are just hard to find.

"Say that to the cartel members trafficking women and children and dismembering rivals and snitches." Yup, those are some of the evil ones.

Getting addicted to drugs to escape a bad childhood and then getting busted for it doesn't make the person bad, though. Or getting involved in the drug scene and escalating until you're in a shootout with a rival "drug gang" is just a series of bad choices that landed them in a terrible spot.

Of course, I'm just taking the Jesus Christ approach. Many people, especially conservatives, would disagree with me.

Edit - Please, please, have the bus hold their cheers. I'm trying to listen to hymnals on my John 3:16 special decalled airpods.

Members are usually pushed by fear from their bosses.

You can argue they're evil for going along with it, but the facts are if they don't kill on command, they get killed. That's how these things work, promises of a well paying career for people who can't find normal work, but signing away your soul for the privilege.

Wrong thread.

Evil people might not exist that much, but stupid ones sure do.

Indeed, they're called democrat-voters.

Colin Powell has voted as a conservative who dislikes trump enough to vote against him.
