Uh huh and then you tried, and failed, to defend the welching and in the process proved Trump right.dot wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 8:45 pmI pointed out the ridiculousness of a guy who doesn't pay his bills telling NATO to "pay their bills."

Donate to the Gofundme, buy his NFTs and trading cards. The guy needs money and marks to fleece of it. Hack does hack things.
No one is ignoring trumps bankruptcies. I addressed it in post3 43 and 41. Here it is again liar:
Now, lets address your continued dodging of this very simple question:Cheezy wrote: Regarding your inability to admit you were wrong and Trump was right, well that's factual and I simply feel NATO countries welching on their commitment to the tune of billions and billions and billions of dollars while US taxpayers subsidize their defense is a bigger story than a Trump business filing for bankruptcy. That's not "ignoring" its highlighting the bigger story. You, meanwhile, are the one that tried to defend the NATO welching because it's incredibly painful for you to admit Trump is right so you then tried to change the subject to something else. It's not my fault you couldn't keep to the subject at hand.
How do you feel about the NATO welching by the way?

Except I did no such thing, and you're getting increasingly desperate since your no good very bad week for cultists. Between the verdict, indictment, impeachment plank coming up false, must've really sucked to be someone in your bubble. But you chose to put yourself there.
You're just ignoring that his bankruptcies and not paying his bills was and is my entire point and then pleading for me to argue something else instead. Fact remains, he doesn't pay his bills so telling the fictional world leader he'd sic Putin on them for not "paying your bills" is pretty high on the hypocrisy meter. But you'll clap along like the trained partisan hack that you are, and then you'll vote for him again. Because despite your claims, you absolutely will ignore every single red flag Trump presents to this country if he's back in power, his bankruptcies being among them.
Disingenuous partisan hack.

Re: Trump's NATO comments
Look, retard: the "retarded narrative of the moment" is some NATO members not paying their agreed upon commitment. Thats not a retarded narrative its a provable and factual circumstance evidenced by some NATO members not paying what they agreed to pay. Its not some fictional narrative. The US taxpayers literally foot the bill for Europe's defense and its not unreasonable to expect them to honor their agreed upon commitments. Its not my fault or anyone elses fault you tried to defend their welching but in the process made yourself look foolish. Its why youre scared and unwilling to even address the actual topic of the thread which is the pointing out of the welching.
Now, because youre a predictable hack, this where you are going to try and say that I am ignoring Trumps bankruptcies. That of course would be wrong because I have already addressed the subject twice. Here it is again though because you are patently disingenuous:

Being presented by a criminal fraud sexual abuser with a documented history of bankruptcies and not paying his bills and his cultists being totally oblivious to the blatant hypocrisy.

Why are you so scared of admitting you were wrong and ignoring what I'd said in every post? But you at least get part of what you wanted, to distract from your criminal idol boasting he'd let Russia invade NATO countries thereby breaking the NATO pact. And to think, it'd be at the whim of someone who doesn't pay his bills telling others to pay their bills, and you'd vote for that again.

And while you tried to do that you simply proved that you are scared to actually address the heart of the matter: which is the welching of NATO countries. Why, Dodgin' Dot, cant you answer this simple question regarding the actual topic:

Re: Trump's NATO comments
i think i have solved the mystery of why Dot never (ever) answers any questions. He sticks to a single narrative. Typically one sentence that he repeats over and over and over. He never answers anything or elaborates on anything.
Because he knows absolutely zero jack shit about anything he is talking about. If he ever stumbles, and makes a comment beyond his single sentence, he fucks up and says something stupid. Like he did in the fraud case thinking it has something to do with property taxes.

Re: Trump's NATO comments
The heart of the matter is actually a chronically delinquent multiple time bankrupt traitorous conman politician who incited insurrection against his own country now telling our allies that if he's back in power, he won't honor the NATO pact of an attack on one is an attack on all. And because you're a loyal cultist, you're ready to ignore all of that to give him back the presidency. Disingenuous delusional intellectually dishonest functionally retarded partisan hack dupe.
What pisses you guys off more than anything it seems is when someone doesn't play along with your deflection and distraction tactics. Making you guys stay on topic has clearly infuriated the lot of you over the last few weeks and months. It's real simple, answer or address the subject at hand. In this case, the subject at hand is:
Because y'all never address or argue the core subject. Whether that's Trump's notoriety for not paying his bills and then chastising anyone else for what he himself does, or whether that's inciting an insurrection against the seat of our government, or whether he committed massive fraud, or whether Joe Biden actually committed any crimes to be impeached over, every single time it's the MAGAt dupes and marks that want to shift the argument to something else, literally anything else, except arguing what is at hand.
Tell us again what fraud is, then book a flight to New York and argue that to the judge since you're so sure of what you bleat about.Animal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 1:57 pm Because he knows absolutely zero jack shit about anything he is talking about.

No, I havent. I have addressed Trumps bankruptcies multiple times. Here it is again for the 4th time:

Re: Trump's NATO comments
But you refuse to acknowledge that his notoriety for not paying his bills was my entire point. You go out of your way to pretend anything else was the case rather than acknowledge facts because the minute you do, you have nothing left to bitch about. Case in point, you want me to argue literally anything else except what I pointed out repeatedly. Disingenuous partisan hack dupe.

YOU are the one trying to change the subject to Trumps bankruptcies. I am the one trying to keep you on the subject of NATO's welching. This is evidenced by me asking you and then your continued dodging of this very simple question that pertains EXACTLY to the heart of the matter:
How do you feel about the NATO welching, Dodgin' Dot?
Ive addressed Trumps bankruptcies and you have yet to address NATO's welching. Why is that?
So what if Trump has "notetiety" for not paying his bills? This is not new or news.
And my feeling on his bankruptcies are stated here for the now 5th time:
I will say it very clearly for you: I believe NATO welching on their commitment to the tune of billions and billions annually is a bigger and more important subject that a Trump company filing bankruptcy.cheezy wrote:Regarding your inability to admit you were wrong and Trump was right, well that's factual and I simply feel NATO countries welching on their commitment to the tune of billions and billions and billions of dollars while US taxpayers subsidize their defense is a bigger story than a Trump business filing for bankruptcy.

And if that is your "entire point" then that also proves you are unwilling to address the actual point of NATO welching on its agreements. That is because you are a pussy and a coward that cant answer even basic questions germane to the subject of the thread.

Re: Trump's NATO comments
Which most sane non cultists would point out is his comments that he would break the NATO pact of an attack on one is an attack on all. But you instead want to focus on anything but that, which is why you'd rather talk about NATO's GDP guidelines. Now, me, I see the hypocrisy of the criminal conman that has a proven history of not paying his bills and then boasting he'd throw allied countries under the bus for doing just that in favor of his dictator idol invading our allies and point it out because it went under everyone's radar. Not to mention the fact that he very likely is making up his story bluster for the marks like you to clap along with. But please, continue to defend throwing our allies to the wolves based on the whims of a thin skinned egotistical criminal with no regard for national security. Hacks are duped into doing hack things, and you continue to demonstrate that every day.
