Translation: I can't defend the clearly batshit crazy thing so I'm going to try to ignore it.
You've been wasting a lot of time/energy replying here, but for some reason responding to the fact that Trump said immigrants were eating pets, post birth abortions are happening, and children are coming home from school having had gender changing surgery forced upon them, well that's just minor quibbles not worth arguing about...
Hah you're not wrong about that. I'm nearly worn out now.
I haven't answered those topics for a few reasons. Some are more nuanced/complicated and require more effort, and like you said, I've "been wasting a lot of time/energy replaying" already. But no, they aren't "minor quibbles" and totally worth arguing, but I have enough on my plate already.
Translation: it's indefensible and should disqualify him, so I'm going to try to keep the conversation on other topics as much as possible and hopefully people will forget the completely bat shit insane things Trump claimed.
Translation: You're a dumb ass
Edit: sorry... y'all've sapped my energy with idiocy.
Interesting, you still have the time and energy to respond, but not about the specific bat shit crazy things Trump claimed...
