Correct me if I’m wrong but my take is the cliff notes on your position isn’t pro Trump at all but you’re just saying the other **** is also ****. Is that a fair one sentence summary?

I can't speak for Nea but it sounds like his main contention is that the media constantly lies about or misrepresents what Trump says or does.

e.g. the "fine people" hoax that Joe Biden used when launching his campaign and that the media mindlessly reiterated, Russian collusion, etc.

New subject but did you hear Trump’s press conference yesterday:

Quote:
"I'm not saying the military's in love with me -- the soldiers are, the top people in the Pentagon probably aren't because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy," Trump told reporters at a White House news conference.
Sometimes he’s like if Mussolini joined the MC5. The MC5 were sexist af too in case you didn’t know that (not trying to condescend)

Interesting - Trump at times seems to be the most dishonest president but at other times seems to be the most honest president (like that quip you quoted). What other president would just come out and say that?

Not sure I see the Mussolini connection.

I think he’s kind of a poor man’s Mussolini. Left totally unchecked I think he’d be a kind of cross between Mussolini and Idi Amin.

Okay, I mean, maybe.

But wasn't your comparison a response/comment to what you quoted? I don't see the relation there ("he’s like if Mussolini joined the MC5"). Unless your comment is completely disconnected from that.

It’s about 75% non sequitur

Well TBH I don't hate Trump, but I am not going to force this non-hatred stance of Trump of mine on anyone. So it's more an objective stance rather than a "pro Trump" stance. I prefer to reason things out and let the cards fall where they may. If they walk away from the conversation hating less, I would like to have this done by their own volition. But yes " ... other **** is also ****.

You have to understand that I spend 90% of my free time on music and I have very little time for politics.

Trump's going to keep pretending he pulled us out of the middle east? As if he hasn't been worse than Obama with drone strikes?
