Reading is fundamental.

He can't take action because he has zero credibility as a global actor for Democracy.  He won't take action because he doesn't give two shits about the promotion of Democracy and Freedom.

If you think that is a state of play that would be true of any President, you have your head up your arse.

This is kind of an amazing tweet from our "president:"

No debate on Election Security should go forward without first agreeing that Voter ID (Identification) must play a very strong part in any final agreement. Without Voter ID, it is all so meaningless!

Amazing because of how revealing it is.  This is the deal maker at work.  He has to get something new that benefits him in order to give up an existing benefit.

In this case, the existing benefit he is enjoying is the prospect of an attack by a foreign adversary in the form of illegal election interference in 2020.  And he isn't going to give that up without a fight!

What a patriot, our "president."

My original response said exactly what a president would do, with zero vagary.  Not even a "better president."  An actual president, who isn't this "president."  If you can't be bothered to read it I won't be bothered to do you the courtesy of quoting it.

If the argument is "Well, our President can't do anything, his words would have no effect..." then you are admitting that nearly 100% of Conservative mythology around Reagan's foreign policy chops is bullshit.

I look forward to your negative spin on everything Trump/HK related in the coming days. 

For now, it's a developing story in another nation.   And Trump won't act with haste.  He WILL answer questions on the topic.  It's his style not to give the canned PC response.  He offers you no apologies on content.  I agree he is quite unpresidential when giving it to you straight. 

Again - not doing it like anyone else has done - we've been over this.

Kiid admits nothing. To ensure this, Kiid understands nothing. This is how his posts accomplish nothing. He’s hiding inside his asshole which is now hermetically sealed.

Giving it to you straight?  Lol. That’s what you call a word salad response that says absolutely nothing? 

Or are you saying his previously calling the pro-democracy protests “riots” is straight talk?  If so, proves my point.

Every time our “president” reveals how grossly unqualified he is for the job your response is “he isn’t doing it like anyone else has done.”  And every time it is pointed out that this isn’t a problem of style.

It is possible for someone to be BAD at this job, to do real DAMAGE at this job. Trump demonstrating that like he is giving daily clinics on the topic.

Oh, look - one of the twits that Kid deleted after I added the explanation. This time he adds a small bit of verbiage.

Good work, Kid. Maybe next time tease out the actual basic content? Something like:

"Nursing home resident attacks Kamala Harris for her health insurance plan."

You can ignore the part of the truth that I included that Kid (who has of course not chosen sides) despises, which is that the resident has no idea wha the President is trying to do to her health insurance, she just knows Harris is trying to change it.

And again... you aggressively call out others for not doing what you consistently refuse to do and when pushed you claim are "little games" and the like.

Pound sand, indeed.

You are so full of shit that you cry the stuff.
