Trump wants to default on the national debt? I haven't heard that but I was speculating that he may try it since he is very good at handling ridiculous levels of debt. The national debt is absurd and illegitimate, so it needs to be repudiated. Obamacare is another scam, why on earth would you want to keep it? Trump has started literally hundreds of bank financed ventures and defaulted on something like five of them. If his ventures weren't overwhelmingly profitable, the banks would have stopped lending to him a long time ago. Taxes, even those on the rich and corporations, are taxes on the poor and middle classes. Any tax cut is more money in your pocket. Take a little time and learn some economics. Trump, at least in his rhetoric, is antiwar and noninterventionist, while Hillary has threatened to nuke Iran and Russia numerous times...search the internet, there are video clips. Trump has been fairly criticized on his trade policy, however if his tariffs are temporary, in an attemp force other countries to lift their own tariffs, it may not incite a trade war and actually help make trade fair.

I said I would upvote quality posts & comments whether I agree or not...

upvote your mother fagboy!

Suck off your brother...Assclown!

FUCK OFF FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about the downvote, I'll give you an upvote to counter it...

@blocktrades it seems like the Trump Trolls have found me...they love those ad hominem attacks...AND piling on which they excel at...I didn't come here to start a 'ground war'...I came here to post the truth...If THEY can't stand it then THEY need to stay out!

Note to self. Call Trump an idiot on steemit tomorrow.

Why not call him an idiot right now? Then call him an idiot tomorrow for good measure.

Don't stop there. Call his ardent fans idiots too? ^^

I have a better idea. How about we not call them idiots and instead open a dialogue with his supporters to see what their complaints are and see if they have merit, and if they are faulty in their reasoning there can be a discussion about what actually does make sense and what the facts are.

Just like talking to a religious fanatic, you won't make any headway with name-calling. At least if you address them with civility and they engage you with their arguments and you respond in kind, the worst thing that can happen is that you can sharpen your own rhetoric and understand your "opponent" better. To merely call Trump an idiot for your own enjoyment is the easy way out.

By the way I'm not talking directly to you @laconicflow (nice name by the way), but to anyone who has a disagreement with Trump and his followers or any other group for that matter.

Take care

p.s. I'm not assuming you are anti-Trump or any other political persuasion. Just piggybacking on your comment which implies that bashing Trump will get you a reward of a few hundred dollars, maybe. (don't count on it!)

I keep trying to remove these d@mned flags...I keep getting transaction failed! D@mmit!

Maybe there is a time limit on removing flags, I'm not sure.

Why? Are you planning to flag me?

I was replying to @laconicflow...

Which I then replied to with,

Notice a smiley? Notice I suggest opening a dialogue instead of name-calling?

Anyway, you get the picture. You made a mistake in thinking I was denigrating you and assumed I flagged your post.

Mistakes happen.

Cheers

Doc...drop some links...I will upvote the shit out of you...

By the way...I'll call Trump what I want...this is a free platform...I've thought he was an Idiot for YEARS...NOT because he is running for president!

Flagged for being an idiot.
This isn't a place for you to start shit other people.

Hard to do that often enough, but already sent you an upvote elsewhere.

Thanks to you and everybody for the upvotes! I will respond in kind!

@blocktrades it seems like I'm starting to accumulate Trump Trolls that are liking to flag me...If they spent their time actually doing something PRODUCTIVE instead of piling on me...it will be appreciated! They are going after my value & I'm not liking it one bit!

Thanks for upvoting him. It's good to see someone getting some reward for letting off some steem. ^^

Be honest doc...did you just neg me? Now you can leave me alone & I'll do likewise...

I was supporting you, AND blocktrades! And you can see who flags you by looking at your votes so you could see it wasn't me that flagged you. If you have too many votes and all don't show. You can go to steemd.com and check your history of who upvoted and downvoted you.

Thanks for upvoting him. It's good to see someone getting some reward for letting off some steem. ^^

That was my comment. How can you possibly think that I was downvoting you based on that post saying "Thanks" to someone, who was a whale and gave you the biggest payout?

In the future, please make sure you are attacking the right person before you accuse them and downvote them.

No hard feelings.

To remove your flag, you can go to the flag on my post and click it again and it will give you the option of removing the flag.

Cheers

Doc...I'm through flagging...it's counter productive...let me get rid of that flag!

Ok...Doc...I'm still looking for that damned flag!

This guy is a faggot troll @doctorstrange I got him from here on out.

I can see the flag on my post

Thanks for upvoting him. It's good to see someone getting some reward for letting off some steem. ^^

You should be able to click on it and it will give you the option of 'unflagging' it. It's not important though. My post was not going to get a reward or anything and I'm not bitter about it. It was a misunderstanding. No biggie.

I can guarantee you that I didn't flag your original post, so don't worry about that either.

And as far as flagging posts, yes, it is important to not flag unless it's really necessary.

Also, if you do need to flag someone in the future - and you did this with me so I'm not suggesting that you don't do this - be sure to leave a note saying as to why it's being flagged. Many users don't bother to leave a comment and it leads to misunderstandings as to why they have been flagged. There is no "best practices" wiki page for Steemit yet so it is impossible to know what is "acceptable" or not. Just keep doing your best!

Lastly, up to this point many of the users have been trying to foster an environment that is unfriendly to trolling, abuse and plagiarism. So, bear that in mind. This isn't 4chan or YouTube comments.

Have fun out there!

Doc...steempoweritpost is actively swearing & name calling me...that's something I'm not going to tolerate from this 'flamer'...do I think flagging is necessary here? Yes I do! He's way out of line!

By the way...you can go ahead and post Anti-Hillary crap...and I WILL still upvote it...Next time try reading the post & watching the video instead of just going up in the air about the title!

By the way @steemitqa I didn't start this shit...you did when you flagged me...I'll say it again...I'll stop & remove my flags the split second YOU stop hassling me...My next post will be titled Donald Trump Is A Jerk!

Here's more of my work! And once again, many thanks for upvoting my posts!

Does it really matter who is robbing and controlling people? Trump is an idiot and so is Hillary, but the bigger idiots are the ones who vote for either one and think that prevents chaos! Laughable. If 99 of your 100 neighbors vote to steal your car, that doesn't make the theft moral... it is still theft. Democracy is just mob rule. As for Obamacare, less people have healthcare since that was instituted, and health care quality has gone down.. do you really think a gang of thieves known as government can run anything effectively? Their whole business plan is to aim a gun at you and force you to pay for things you don't want... and then say they are "serving" you... that is like a car jacker stealing your car, and then giving you a sandwich.

Can anybody tell me what I did right here? This is the ONLY post of mine that's garnered value! I think it's the tagging!

An "idiot" who's a hell of a lot more successful than you... what does that say about you, troll?

Terrible argument. It's an absolutely meaningless point to be made.

  1. What is success? There are many ways to measure success. If you mean financially successful, then I will use your argument against you.

Warren Buffett and many others are more financially successful than Trump or you... what does that say about you, troll?

It actually says nothing other than, there are many people in the world and some are more financially successful than others.

Oh, and you put a troll (name-calling) on the end there, which makes you look bad.

And Trump is an idiot for a variety of reasons, just like every human is an idiot from time to time, just he is running for "leader of the free world" and his statements such as:

"Obama created ISIS"

Which he has just recently said was "sarcastic", makes him seem like an idiot and not worthy or capable of being a good President of the United States.

You need look no further than the various republicans that are distancing or renouncing the candidate to see that Trump is his own worst enemy. He could have made it a really close race or even won if he didn't keep making statements like the above or calling out the mother and saying she was silent perhaps because of being muslim. Then being thin-skinned and calling the father out for his "vicious" attacks. Presidential candidate insults your wife and you're supposed to not say anything? Trump has no self-control and that is a recipe for disaster for someone in the most powerful position in the world.

Cheers

p.s. I'm not a fan of Hillary either, but she's at least a better of two evils. So at least you know where I'm coming from. I make my own decisions on every individual issue based on evidence and have no political affiliations. All sides have valid points and perspectives to a degree, it's in all our best interests to listen to each other no matter what our ideologies in order to come to the best conclusions. How is it possible that a 100 million people on the other side of your argument be all wrong all the time? They aren't all idiots, so maybe there is something wrong with the way we think and the other side is right after all. Entertain that thought whenever you are assuming you are right and your "opponent" is wrong. You actually might be the idiot after all.

Actually I've been called worse, Doc...So because he wants to reply with the 'braindead' response that he gave that is irrelevant to me...By the way...Trump went bankrupt 4 times because he couldn't manage the Taj Mahal...how in the hell do you 'bankrupt' a casino? The house is supposed to win most of the time!
And thanks @doctorstrange your reply was a piece of art!

You bankrupt a casino by having the state demand more of the gross than the win spread, of course.
State demands are numerous, and onerous... ranging from property and sales taxes to hidden taxes in power, water, food, and everything else you do.

eat a dick prick. Vs. loser lying shithead Killary.

Bend over far enough to eat your own dick...Assjack...

Actually nothing 'flamer'..

By the way...hoser...how long have you been on here? Your rank is a 14...mine is 50...so I must be doing something RIGHT! wizworm!

you, because you haven't called out a what for being a dick. so what.

At least I have a dick...

Your mama is a faggot @terryrall go fuck your mom you tailor trash piece of filth!

Learn how to spell...Fuckhead!

The only jobs Hillary ever created were for lawyers and paid internet trolls.

The ONLY 'trolls' around here are the ones piling on me & cutting into my steem...I didn't come here to be a target...I came here to post what I consider I believe is true...

I flagged each of your posts SUCK ON THAT DICKHEAD!

Stick your nose up your ass & blow your brains out...dickwad!
