Will anybody here

I found comments written by Piers Morgan, the British citizen, who is very anti-conservative and anti-Republican showing his has a better understanding of our nations ideals and traditions than those Democrats protesting and not showing up.
Piers has been very pro Trump since the get go. http://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/2016/05/19/piers-morgan-was-mocked-for-supporting-trump.html

You say all this like HRC was a better option. LOL The left would have been clambering with thrills going up your legs if she was the one being inaugurated. Even being she is still being investigated for criminal activity. Funny watching the left stay unhinged.
Oh the denial is deep. It's going to be fun watching you deny all the stuff that will be hitting the fan with the Trumpster. Again.....
I found comments written by Piers Morgan, the British citizen, who is very anti-conservative and anti-Republican showing his has a better understanding of our nations ideals and traditions than those Democrats protesting and not showing up. One paragraph he wrote sums things up pretty well:

Forgive me if I don’t join in this chillingly predictable tirade of abuse at the President-elect… The sustained campaign right now to delegitimize Trump’s presidency before it’s even started is not just a disgraceful attack on Trump…It’s also a disgraceful attack on American democracy and freedom. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said: ‘On each national day of inauguration since 1789, the people have renewed their sense of dedication to the United States.’ Friday should be a day when the country comes together, not a day when it splinters even further apart. Trump, whether you voted for him or not, whether you love him or loathe him, is the democratically elected President of the United States. If you refuse to accept it, then you flip the bird at democracy.

And when you insult democracy…you insult America.
These representatives not attending are flipping the bird at half the country that supported and voted for Trump and the ideal that we are a strong democracy and durable to the rest of the world. If the Clintons can make it to the inauguration so should those who feel she should be POTUS.
Piers Morgan? Lol. You know he won the Apprentice and has been a Trump groupie ever since, right? I'd expect he's pandering for an appointment, just like Omarosa.
 
Piers has been very pro Trump since the get go
So..what has that got to do with anything? His opinion is valid and from my perspective pretty spot on and he is certainly not a conservative.
Piers Morgan? Lol. You know he won the Apprentice and has been a Trump groupie ever since, right? I'd expect he's pandering for an appointment, just like Omarosa.
See above your LOL aside. Zeke if Obama said what was in the Morgan quote you would probably call him a groupie as well as your hate and rage all things Trump are so intense it blinds your reasoning at times. It's going to be and awfully long 4 years or perhaps 8 for you.

There are numerous highly respected Democrats that feel the boycott is stupid and ridiculous as well as all the nonstop complaining. Lee Hamilton for one. Google it and you will find it so. Are they all groupies to?

I dislike Trump probably close to the same degree as you and we certainly could have done better as a country by supporting neither Trump or Hillary. But we got Trump and our country is to strong as is our system for one man to destroy it.

Knock it off with the facts. Jeez.
Facts are good. Just like the facts noted in the Morgan comments. The fact that he might be friends with Trump isn't relevant. There are other Democrats that agree with Morgan as well. They are out there...go find them..the facts. Some of you people think that should anyone agree with Trump on anything or defend him on anything they are groupies etc............................
 
make an argument in support of the 60+ members of congress who are protesting Trump's inauguration with their boycott?
They are wrong. Trump won it fair and square. He is the president, and those 60+ members have no excuses.
On the other hand, when he, as the president, does something stupid and/or evil, they should do whatever it takes to stop him.

That reminds me of Otter's speech in "Animal House". I am very loyal to The United States and Democracy. I don't think Trump cares much for either.

I appreciate your remarks. Respectfully, whatever else may be said about the boycott (e.g., pointless) I would not call it stupid. Trump's finger as of this morning sits on the nuclear button. If the button is pushed the world may be destroyed. Trump can literally blow up the world without any effective checks and balances. Any system that would put a man like Trump in that position is one prone to catastrophic failure. The swearing in of Trump is not a testament to the strength of our system but a demonstration of its grave weakness.

Whatever.......His comments regarding the no shows was spot on. He has been described often as a bleeding-heart, anti-gun, ultra-liberal British media personality. When he had his show he was always brow beating conservatives and those who were criticizing Obama. He often let his liberal slant out into the open.

The fact he said favorable things about Trump isn't relevant to the point regarding his comments as being spot on in my humble opinion.

In general your comments point out that often times the left can turn on their own if they support any conservative position or person and especially if they say anything remotely positive about Donald Trump. I have this gut feeling that should the topic of debate been guns then his anti-gun position would held up as the "word" and totally correct without any doubt.

Oh, knock it off. You initially painted him as some lefty liberal Brit pantywaist who nevertheless thought those who were boycotting were in the wrong. They very well may be, but the fact that Morgan thinks so is no surprise, since he's been a Trump supporter all along.

OK...it's no surprise. There it is out in the open. Having said that he is still a Liberal and pantywaist was your definition not mine. There is a marked difference between anti-conservative/republican and pantywaist. He is a Liberal who supports Trump in part. It isn't relevant that he supports Trump on some issues but if you feel it necessary to connect the two then you can certainly feel that way. Using the term pantywaist does however suggest and underlying theme or perhaps you think the term Liberal(anti-conservative) implies pantywaist. I don't.
 
Let me give you two pieces of unsolicited and, no doubt, unwanted advice. The first: take your own advice. The election is over; deal with it. Clinton has been out of the picture for over two months. Your hypotheticals comparing Trump to Clinton are silly. The only meaningful measure of Trump is how he is performing against expectations.

The second is to quit reflexively defending Trump. Here's what is evident to other people: Trump has no respect for you and other supporters like you. That's because he can lie to you and tell you how great everything is, and he knows that you'll continue to kiss his ass. The only way you're going to get Trump to give a damn about you is to be willing to criticize him and withhold the one thing you have that he cares about: your adoration.
Whether Trump "cares" about his supporters is less important to them than what he does for them. Past politicians may have vocalized more poetically how much they "care", but the lacking efficacy of their policies have failed to demonstrate that care in tangible terms.

Trump has given his supporters the hope that he will direct his policies toward actions that will demonstrate his desire that we are all successful--not some at the expense of others--as expectations of our fellows are retuned to more closely resemble Kennedy's notion that, as a nation we are greater when measured by our collective contributions to our American society as opposed to by what we take from it.

The fact that you're trying to say his pro-Trump stance is irrelevant after making effort to point out his anti-Republican stance as noteworthy is utterly ridiculous. Admit you lost this one and move on.

I generally enjoy your perspective on things but you are wrong here. Why did you feel it necessary to respond as you did and how did you expect me to respond?

Sometimes you act like arrogance is a virtue Goat. Congratulations on your ability to create drama out of absolutely nothing. Instead of debating the points Morgan made in his comments the discussion turned to my commenting that he was anti-conservative/republican(liberal essentially) as if this were more important than the points he presented.

I know my intent and thoughts when crafting my post. I think I have enough history around here that you shouldn't be asking me to admit I lied when I didn't and that is exactly what your intent was.

Sometime you appear to enjoy finding fault in the most simple things as if there was a reward or gold star or something for doing so, along with possessing the unique talent of mind reading.

And on a separate point it is noteworthy somewhat that an admitted liberal icon of sorts apparently turned to the dark side and supports Trump. But that wasn't my point nor intent. His article was simply spot on. Nothing more and nothing less. The fact that he could support Trump at all I find fascinating along with the fact that as a conservative I could agree with him on anything. That was my point more than anything.

The problem is not Trump per se but our system that has allowed the president to grab more and more power. Nobody complains when the president is a member of their party and he grabs more power. They never think that down the road that might come back to bite them in the rear.

You were the one who felt it important to note he was a liberal, and then dismiss another poster who pointed out he was pro-Trump. Not sure why you think any of this is my fault.

Not a defense - just a statement

The politics of personal destruction has become the raison d'etre of most politicians. It's more important to argue the wrongs of others than to do anything.

"Focusing hatred" is the biggest game in town. If you get folks to hate the other guy, your don't even have to give em $20 and a half pint.

A human being must make the call whether to launch us into oblivion or not. Our system has many flaws but I don't see a system that doesn't have that same flaw when it comes to nuclear weapons.

Your fault? No it isn't and I never said it was your fault. The only fault here is that for whatever reason you elected to respond to me in the fashion you did. I didn't dismiss the other poster. I simply restated my position and reminded them that they used the term liberal pantywaist, not I.

What someone else post is rarely the fault of another. However how we respond to others is on each of us. I simply feel that your comments weren't appropriate and I posted to tell you that. I know my frame of mind of point of reference when I post and others do not and it was not what was implied by the other poster or you.
