Happy Independence Day to all my friends here at Pilot Spin, including Jason who is, still, The Man for putting this community together.

That includes you pilots, right seaters, academics, liberals, Trumpkins , veterans, conservatives, Canadians who are soon to be US citizens as soon as they stop spelling things like "colour," libertarians, Constitutionalists, and other assorted Americans.

Perhaps introducing them to 72 virgins will help get the point across.

Bin Laden's Afterlife Surprise

After going for his final swim, Osama made his way to the pearly gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington.

"How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr. Washington, slapping Osama in the face. Patrick Henry comes up from behind: "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Osama on the nose. James Madison comes up next, and says, "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Osama's knee.

Osama is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe and 65 other 18th-century American revolutionaries. As he writhes on the ground, Thomas Jefferson picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged.

As Osama awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams, "This is not what I was promised!"

An angel replies: "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"

LOL.

God has a Bonanza.

I simply reject your premise out of hand. You assign consequences to those for whom no culpability should be assigned. Truly, your logic is like a pretzel: A voter who believes on principle that a set of candidates is unfit for office and in doing so decides to abstain or vote for someone else, is suddenly in your eyes "at fault" if the candidate who opposes the one you support wins the presidency; despite the fact that said voter has literally given no support to the winner. Does not follow. It is the very definition of a principle to remain steadfast when others throw their principles out in favor of "results"; a hallmark of Trump as we have learned, and apparently perhaps a feature within his group of supporters. (And let's be clear that said feature is not partisan.)

In a race between two untenable candidates I choose neither. I refuse to be "at fault" for the shitty candidate that gets the seat, because whether I vote for either or I don't (on principle, not due to apathy), we still get a shitty candidate. Whether you subjectively believe one shitty candidate to be less shitty than the other is your subjective right, but not my obligation to accept.

(Edit - fixed wording)

I think this is what you are looking for:

============================================

I wish Donald Trump would decide what he stands for and what he stands against, then say so and act like it.
As long as he keeps acting like a post-menopausal debutante there is nothing about him to be believed, trusted, or depended upon.

That's really my point.

I'm also stunned that Trump supporters will do everything NOT to hold Trump accountable for what he says or does or doesn't do, including the release of tax returns. If there was an overwhelming pressure by Trump fans, he would have to do it. Instead, Trump fans are no different than Hillary sycophants who willfully ignore her lies, obfuscation, corruption, and criminal exposure of US secrets in order to secure a democrat win in November.

That's all you want to see, you are so blinded by your butt hurt.  Three words, "Get Over It".

Not when the country's at stake, and a democrat was nominated as the GOP nominee.
