(Playing) dumb is as dumb does

[Senkosam]

Interview on You Tube
Question asked: "Don't you need to uphold the constitution of the United States?"
his response: " I don't know. I have brilliant lawyers that work for me and they are obviously going to support what the Supreme Court said.

Fact: what any new president must swear to or affirm: "I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Statement/ question: "Your secretary of State says the everyone deserves due process - citizens and noncitizens. Do you agree?"
His answer: "I don't know, I don't know I'm not a lawyer. If the 5th amendment says that, then we would have to have one million, two million, three million trials. We have thousands of people, some that are murderers, drug dealers and some of the worst people on earth.

can't even respond to those questions without embarrassing himself - something he is incapable of admitting while his followers shake their heads in agreement.

Stupid is as stupid does and Trump is expert at demonstrating it every time he does interviews. Nothing on You Tube is faked nor are trick questions asked when it comes to Trump. His answers speak for themselves. He knows his MAGA followers will always support anything he does and says no matter how imbecilic and believe his omnipotence is justified to get the country back on track. Talk about a cult that is neither left nor right nor independent!

Even if his actions don't damage our nation too much once he leaves office (something he states may not happen), the damage done will be with us for years and he will go down as the worst and most pathetic president ever.

[Senkosam]

One final thing for those who want a good laugh: go to You Tube and check out Stephen Colbert's responses to Trump's videoed dumb statements and answers that only a blithering idiot could give.
Here's an example.

Talk about dementia setting in....

[JVGondal]

Get a clue

[Senkosam]

Hmmmm...
That is a lame Trump reply if ever I read one. In fact, a name that applies

His actions have affected thousands: federal worker layoffs, immigrant deportations -legal and undocumented; he has inflamed prejudice against them by generalizing them all as murderers, rapists and drug runners; his Arab state buddies that treated him as royalty, have yet to ask for favors that will benefit them at the expense of other nations; FEMA and the FAA have been gutted resulting in delayed aid (former) and unsafe air travel and delays (latter); ships carrying goods into the U.S. have been dramatically reduced - especially from China; he told Walmart to eat the increase in prices due to his tariffs - most definitely not business friendly and which has also affected thousands of businesses that require low tariff trade to stay in business; the list is too long to continue. Is inflation and higher unemployment on the horizon and if so, could both have been prevented by members of both parties?

You label anyone who disagrees with you and anyone that criticizes the man who does just that, rarely answering questions with coherent answers. If you dare, visit YouTube and do a search of his speeches and interviews. His answers are absurd and unrelated to questions asked such as, "do you support the U.S. Constitution" (included in his oath of office BTW) His answer: "I don't know, I don't know I'm not a lawyer."

As I said before, actions have consequences and details matter. He is unconcerned about future consequences and could care less about details. His goal is to stay at the center of attention no matter what while enjoying the adoration of his loyal MAGATS that refuse to hold him accountable - yourself included.

[monte300]

This infuriates you Senkosam because you’re a critical thinker. Not a lot of that around here. Mostly owning the dems, his “successes”, his restoring democracy, ad nauseam…………..

[JVGondal]

Yeah. He thinks so much his favorite bait a senko.
That’s the rod and rig you give .

[Senkosam]

Actually G, I haven't used Senkos in years. My latest lures are small finesse soft plastics rigged on light jigs and light action rods. When it comes to lures, I am a critical thinker and keep photo journals of fish caught including which shape, size and lure action - combinations trigger strikes. In fact my username on different forums is Spoonminnow derived from making a lure from the coating left on a spoon used to stir hot plastic, laying it on a smooth surface, cutting the shape of a minnow and dipping the front 1/3 3x in hot plastic to thicken the body. One of best creations!

Sad that so many voters ignore the meaningless crap that comes out of his mouth. It's like giving the title of a book minus the content which is acceptable to so many. You don't have to be a critical thinker to have suspicions regarding what is showmanship with him playing the idiot playing to the crowd vs a con man that has found his niche. He basks in the public's adulation of him - America be damned no matter how many lives and the nation are negatively affected! That so many voters believe him, it's no wonder our allies are shaking their heads in disbelief - as am I.

What it comes down to is not being on the left or on the right but taking a combination from the left and the right values that have served this country and that so many have died for. Maybe more Trumpsters should read the Bible to get a feel for what Trump is and what he is not - none of it good or decent.

[Paul Matthews]

I thought this was a fishing forum. WTF!

[monte300]

At least it’s in the political category as opposed to the fishing forum like before.

[JVGondal]

I’m just poking fun senkoman

Think you guys are out of your minds but what do I know ?
I rather talk about fishing but seems it’s not the topics

[monte300]

Trump is an old man at this pace he won’t last four years

[JVGondal]

By your own logic Monte300 is lying anytime his lips are moving
As of May 19, 2025, President Donald Trump is reported to be in “excellent health” and “fully fit” to serve, according to his most recent medical evaluation conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The assessment, released by White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella, noted that Trump has lost 20 pounds since 2020, bringing his weight to 224 pounds. His LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels are now within the optimal range, managed with medications including rosuvastatin and ezetimibe. The report also mentioned that Trump has diverticulosis and a benign colon polyp, with a follow-up colonoscopy recommended in three years .

[monte300]

Wow you really do believe everything you’re told magat. If Trump were in poor health do you really think they would be honest about that? I don’t think he’s seen 224 pounds in many years. Just saw a good one GOP stands for gang of paedophiles

[JVGondal]

I don’t believe Joe didn’t know about his medical condition when he lost to Trump and handed the ball to camel Toe
I don’t believe anything coming from you either
I know all your information comes from news commentators who are biased Trump and haters of White straight men of masculinity
They would prefer to kill the golden goose who built America
Therefore your mind is contaminated with lies and hate. A hate worse than any other
It’s not your fault. You are the product of news networks that do not report news. Instead they push an agenda to change the demographics, morality, the language and culture of America
You just don’t know with more people like yourself western civilization will not exist. Instead you will have one giant Tenderloin SF for a country.
Thank God Trump won the presidency and saved us from the camel toe and the Lunatics on the left

[monte300]

Trump has been lying to you all along about the tariff’s and most other things. Answer me this, if China is paying the Tariff why is Conald demanding Walmart to “eat” the tariff? You notice he’s not demanding Walmart to “pay” the tariff because if he did he would be admitting he lied all along about who pays the tariffs. Even if Walmart were willing to eat the tariff word on the street is they operate on a 3% profit. How could they possibly afford to eat a 30% tariff? Also, they have shareholders to answer to and Walmart shouldn’t have to pay for dumb ****’s F’up.

Stay focused on tariffs if you dare answer my question and don’t divert

[Senkosam]

I admit that DOGE is long overdue for federal, state and local governments. The problem is accounting for the waste and eliminating it vs simply cutting thousands of jobs. Musk was the worst person to get the job done because he was all about the spectacle, same as his boss, where details don't matter. Billions in waste will still happen as long as new rules aren't in place to account for where the money goes and to whom. The buck should stop there and now!

One example of adding to the waste is Trump's increase of military spending. WTF??!!! I saw waste and inefficiency when I served decades ago on my base, not to mention the Vietnam War and every war since which were a total waste of lives and money. Getting rid of generals and admirals based on what?!! Their refusing to sign a loyalty oath?!! Also, who the F replaced them? Very suspicious with no reasons given, just like with all the other DOGE cuts.

(I would much rather talk about freshwater fishing and lures, but this site doesn't have the categories and California lakes are generally deeper and much larger than those I fish in N,Y, Besides, trying to convince MAGATs of Trump's failings as a human much less president, is as much a waste of time as talking to an eggplant. I least an eggplant has a use and a higher IQ at that. )

[monte300]

I agree that in theory DOGE is a good idea, like you said they hired the wrong guy to run it. Why have we never heard anything specific like examples of waste, fraud or abuse or names associated with it? All Muck did was cut jobs and thanks to Trumps spending the deficit has gone up instead of coming down. I’m waiting to hear an explanation on Trump demanding Walmart pay the tariffs that China was supposed to pay?

[Senkosam]

Agree cpmpletely!
As far as a reduction in taxes, it won't come close to offsetting the consumer tax via tariffs we'll pay for goods and parts for our vehicles much less new and used vehicles themselves. Americans buy a sh-load of products (ask my wife) and even a 20% increase on-line or at the store will not go unnoticed. Trump is about to screw everyone including his diehard supporters and FOR WHAT?!!

Add to that is his insisting retailers, large and small, eat the cost of tariff increases to keep prices lower. That is ant-business/anti-consumer - PERIOD! - plus as I said before, he's making consumers choose cheaper(really?) American goods over foreign goods.

Congress better step up to put the brakes on this bumbling fool before we're all f'd! The mid-terms should be very interesting, though testes don't grow on trees and it'll take more than a few pairs to reverse the damage.

[JVGondal]

You guys think so ???

I know you prefer Cognitively impaired and cackling hens to n power simply due to their skin color and genitalia.
That’s all I need to know about your lack of intelligence

[monte300]

You guys think so ???

I know you prefer Cognitively impaired and cackling hens to n power simply due to their skin color and genitalia.
That’s all I need to know about your lack of intelligence

Still waiting for your thoughts on Trump demanding Walmart to “eat” the tariffs. Last I heard that means the same thing as PAY the tariffs that Trump lied to you when he said that China will pay. Speaking of cognitively impaired I’m not sure Trump has both oars in the water.

[JVGondal]

They should eat the tariffs. Or maybe pass it on to you the democrat consumer
Suddenly you are for the rich who own Walmart?


Since when did your people start supporting scab companies like Wally World?
Your hate for Trump is beyond belief

[Senkosam]

Forget it Monte. He has to come across like his idol, talking nonsense while never addressing the concerns that many Americans are finding unsettling to say the least. Haphazard executive orders aside, the latest bill to reduce taxes will garner GOP opposition because it is just the opposite of what is needed to reduce the deficit.

But then again, for MAGATs, details don't matter, headlines do.

[JVGondal]

Yes forget it. I will never join your anti American commie bastard party
Far as I’m concerned you are the enemy of America

[monte300]

I could give two shits about Walmart or any other publicly traded company. The executives of these companies have shareholders to answer to. Why should they foot the bill for Trumps dumb assed tariff decisions? Man you aren’t nearly as bright as I gave you credit for and that’s a pretty low bar. Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

[JVGondal]

Yep. You don’t give 2 shits about American companies.
At the least Trump is doing something weather you like it or not. It’s

[monte300]

Trump is doing something alright, he’s F’ing up a wet dream

[JVGondal]

Cry cry cry. Trump this Trump that.
Get over it It’s called Trump derangement syndrome. You don’t care about anything except your authoritarian beliefs.
You should be thanking God we did not get another 4 years of Biden Harris

[monte300]

Hump is the poster child for authoritarianism, your ignorance knows no bounds. This just in tonight, with the House of Representatives desperate 1:00am attempt to pass Trumps Big Barfy Bill, in addition to the Medicaid cuts, if passed the bill will also cut $500 billion from Medicare which will affect every senior citizen I know including you and me. Still feeling good about your king?

[JVGondal]

Yeah ok.

[Senkosam]

Referring to drug cost:
Trump is once again trying to tackle the issue—this time through an Executive Order that aims to pressure pharmaceutical companies to voluntarily lower their prices on drugs.
He exaggerated the amount resulting in a cut by as much as 80%. (Wish I was smoking what he's high on!

He signed the Executive Order directing the U.S. Department of Health and Services, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to reduce drug prices within 30 days. If "significant progress” is not made, the order leaves the door open for the government to take regulatory actions against drugmakers or import low-cost drugs from abroad.
(Tariff free?)

The latest Executive Order, experts say, will hinge on implementation details—many of which remain uncertain. (What else is new...)
It’s unlikely that pharm. companies will lower their prices because they typically only decrease if a generic version of the drug is introduced. But many specialty drugs are “years away” from a generic option
He tried something similar in his first term and was blocked by the courts.

In the case of medical insurance that covers drugs, many patients will still have the same deductible for their meds. Insurance companies are the only ones to benefit but still not lower insurance premiums.

[JVGondal]

You are for giving our tax money to those who did not pay into our system? You would like it to go broke
How you twist and lie to fuel your hate

The Trump bill aims to protect Medicaid by removing approximately 1.4 million undocumented immigrants from the program, thereby eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. This approach is presented as a means to ensure that benefits are reserved for eligible American citizens.
You fail to mention this.

Recall when blow iob bill did the same thing?
The bill proposes new “community engagement requirements” for Medicaid eligibility, mandating at least 80 hours per month of work, education, or service for able-bodied adults without dependents. These requirements are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2029.

In 1996, Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), which fundamentally changed welfare as it had existed for decades. The law:
Ended Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and replaced it with Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
Imposed work requirements: Recipients had to wor or participate in job training/education to receive aid.
Set a 5-year lifetime limit on receiving federal welfare benefits.

You are filled with hate and bias. The radical left news talking heads have you by the balls

Your hate will never stop

If Jill Biden had used the auto pen for Joey to sign these exact bills you would be celebrating a victory

You are so far liberal the mental disorder actually has your mind believing the bill is to cut legal American citizens particularly the elderly and young
That is so utterly ridiculous it’s unbelievable

[monte300]

Keep drinking the kool aid. Trump seeks to make big cuts in Medicaid and Medicare, among other things like huge tax breaks to the wealthy. All while massively raising our debt. Your arguments are so weak people like Whoopbass and Jiggin are no longer here to defend your position. Pull your head out of your magat a$$

I see where we took possession of the biggest “gift”in history from Qatar. I’m watching Judgment in Nuremberg for the first time. I hope to someday see it play out the same way for the likes of Bondi and much of Trumps junk drawer.

[JVGondal]

Yeah ok. I suppose you spoke to Trump instead of. Watching the commie bastards on your twitter
That rock you got snagged on knows better

[Senkosam]

Questioning our government does not equate to hate. Noting Trump's deficiencies as a human being much less a man is not based on opinions from the left but from the many videos of him speaking nonsense. Being gullible is a trait MAGAts, such as yourself (and Hitler's followers), have in common. Every one of your replies is a perfect example of hate and echoes your buddy's rhetoric that assumes voters in general will eventually see the light and support his simplistic and flawed agenda.

We've already seen massive protests in many cities with more to come. More and more voters will come to despise Trump - even those on the right, and yes, if you can call that hate, you'd be right (for a change). Hope you are a better angler than political commentator because the latter doesn't show me much.

(If ignorance is bliss, I want to know what you're smoking! )

[monte300]

Well said. I think generally speaking people that question authority tend to love their country it’s much easier to be a sheep and question nothing

[Senkosam]

...like the House that just voted yes for his Big BS Bill. Now the GOP Senate vote is needed to complete the fiasco.

[monte300]

Huge cuts to Medicaid that will affect about 13 million people and $535 billion cut to Medicare that will affect plenty of people. Passing this bill will likely be the death blow to the GOP in the midterms. Do your damage now Trump because after midterms things are about to get much tougher.

On a positive note. I was just reading the highlights of bill the house just passed. Was I reading correctly that the $10,000 cap on our home interest will be raised to $40k if passed by the senate? Assuming an income of less than $500k.

[JVGondal]

Yeah sure. You better hope the greatest president in history succeeds. The big beautiful bill passed
So you should be happy today!
No tax on tips. No tax on overtime
the first president since Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms.
His return to office in 2025, after years of legal, political, and media opposition, is a triumph of resilience and public will.
Reviving energy independence
Rolling back Biden policy
Built business confidence within months of taking office.
Dismantling DEI
Reforming the FBI and DOJ oversight
Replaced career bureaucrats resistant to executive authority
Restarted and expanded the border wall project in early 2025
Enforced strict immigration controls and ended lenient asylum programs
Cracked down on cartel operations at the southern border
His Supreme Court picks have made historic rulings on gun rights, abortion, religious liberty, and federal authority.
Just a few accomplishments of many. What had Joey done in 4 years except raise the price of everything and play the climate change nonsense to make gasoline and energy unaffordable to many?
Nothing you dimwits

MONTE 13 million fraudulent Medicaid claims
Do you get it??? Our welfare is being stolen by people who are lazy bums taking advantage of the system
Trump has emphasized cutting off fraudulent claims, not reducing legitimate benefits for those who truly need them.
Do you think that there are no fraudulent claims or do you think just anyone should receive Benefits from foreign countries legal illegal criminal or not?

[JVGondal]

Yeah. It might be the death blow because they want illegal immigrants to vote for democrats
Open the border. Let them in. Give them free everything on Monte’s dime
Once there is enough of them we can never loose an election. We will have a one party system

The most intelligent man on the planet Elon Musk even explained it just like so
Oh wait. He’s a bad man now he has shown he is not part of the climate cult who wants everyone in an electric car. That he believes in free speech
That he is against you communist rule!!!!!!
Now that he is alined with Trump!
Wake up people. Our country is going be ruined and no longer exists as we know it by the democrats or trump and his people will save her and America will be great

[JVGondal]

I don’t know why I bother. It’s clear you people just want America to fail and become a dictatorship
One giant welfare state. Rename the USA
To plain old California

For the life of me I don’t understand how you can’t see it. The county is going to hell with the democrats
Just look at Ca. Isn’t that enough
Ok so you’re happy with the authoritarian commie welfare state rule of Ca. You like the democrats socialist communist style that our parents and grandparents fought and died to protect us from
So you are against red blooded **** kicker Americans that built the country
Again if I were you I might seek medical help for your mental illness

You all are real pieces of work

I’m sure there are some fraudulent claims but I doubt it’s anywhere near 13 million. You will always be duped by Trump because he’s a habitual lier and Muck being the most intelligent man on the planet is definitely your opinion. Where’s all the waste fraud and abuse he claims to have found? Any names associated with it? I didn’t think so.

[monte300]

Your “successful” man bankrupted six businesses. I guess if one sets the bar low enough……I guess your belief that boggles my mind the most is that the dems are creating a dictatorship? Who’s trying to run the country on executive orders as opposed to getting congressional permission? That would be your man child Trump hands down.

[monte300]

Well said. I think generally speaking people that question authority tend to love their country it’s much easier to be a sheep and question nothing

...like the House that just voted yes for his Big BS Bill. Now the GOP Senate vote is needed to complete the fiasco.

So far the only thing I like about the big barfy bill is being able to write off more of our mortgage interest, that Trump limited back in 2017. That’s assuming I’m reading it correctly. I’m not getting excited, that’s probably the part of the bill the GOP senate will trim. Mostly the bill is about helping the greedy rich get richer at the expense of the working class and working poor. There’s absolutely no empathy or compassion with this regime.

[JVGondal]

Wake up

[Senkosam]

Many retailers will start raising prices. They have a right to make a profit and Trump doesn't have the right to suggest otherwise. Trump promised disinflation but is doing everything to increase consumer prices, which he will never admit to doing and of course, blaming Biden in the process. Today I noted an increase in prices at the supermarket.

His haphazard use of executive power and his eroding relations between the U.S. and our allies, will have consequences. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, the courts will step in to curtail his illegal actions and when he leaves office will charge him, find him guilty and have him spend his golden (skin) years in jail where he belongs. Call it hate. I call it justice.

Are you a complete retard(famous Trump term) JV? Clinton and Obama served 8 years each. Rump has piled up well over 100 executive orders in less than 150 days. Are you using “new math” to support your rediculous argument?

I’m simply pointing out all presidents do the same.

Trump doesn’t read them, someone else explains them to him and then he feebly signs them. What planet are you on?
