Rob's House Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 What a load of crap. So what if he criticizes Obama? That doesn't make his statement racist. He even went out of his way to specifically address his feelings that many black Americans, like all Americans, are brilliant, and literally everyone else on this board feels the same way, both right and left. Somehow, you feel that's racist. That's because you're a complete tool. You are doing a great job of showing everyone that you are the most ignorant person posting here. That's saying something. Gatorman has actually risen one level from the bottom of the barrel thanks to you. Once again, bravo. You're a jerk. Easy with your micro-aggressions, bro. The acknowledgement of reality with regards to race is the definition of racism, and is thus the epitome bigotry. Maybe you and LAKlanFan should check yall's mother!@#$in privilege.

birdog1960 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Such a dumb and racist statement, and no, the "there are a lot of brilliant black people" qualifier doesn't shield it. Taking the fact that "first black president" was a positive to his campaign supporters and somehow extrapolating that into he won "almost exclusively" on that is a leap you can only really make with the lens of racism. White people have never won the White House with similar campaign messages except for, well, all the times they did. Trump is almost exactly as qualified for leadership as Paris Hilton. Congrats to the GOP, looks like you'll be nominating the male Paris Hilton for president of our country. My favorite Trump fact is that he would've actually been richer if he had simply invested his inheritance and never attempted to be a businessman: http://www.nationaljournal.com/twentysixteen/2015/09/02/1-easy-way-donald-trump-could-have-been-even-richer-doing-nothing welcome to the board. you've engaged the usual suspects in a typical"debate". the ad hominem attacks are flowing like dandruff from trump's perfumed hair. this prominent side of ppp is a microcosm of the trump phenomenon: the more outrageous, offensive, insensitive, uncaring, selfish and machiavellian, the better. it's maddening and sometimes quite sad to behold but at the same time oddly compelling. good to have you posting here.

You go for ad hominem and hyperbolic arguments as much as anyone around here other than maybe gator. I attribute it to cognitive dissonance. You have an emotional connection to your position, so when you can't defend it with logic and reason you trash the speaker and his motives. It's not too far removed from the hyper-judgmental neighbor who talks **** about everyone in the neighborhood because she feels like she doesn't stack up by any objective criteria.

Ozymandius Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm interested where the crazy comes in with Trump. What is it exactly that is crazy? That he doesn't want to commit national/cultural suicide by opening up the border to resource sucking 3rd world dregs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbZXfpKJun0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandius Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 To those that support Trump, why do you think he's qualified to be President? I mean you obviously feel like Obama was inexperienced and not qualified then how is Trump any better? Personally I'd like to see Sanders win the election. For me, I'm hoping that Trump is a fascist. He can't come right out and run as a fascist, of course, but I am intrigued that he's doing so much to kiss up to veterans and the military. Fingers crossed, but I think it's possible if he were elected President, he would have the military cross the Potomac, march on DC and slaughter all of Congress and the Supreme Court. However, if I were to answer your question like a normie, I would say that most people don't really care about experience. It ranks maybe 15th on my list. Many who post on this board would surely vote for Rubio ahead of the much more experienced Sanders, of course. Also, one could argue that Trump's executive experience is better preparation for the executive position of presidency than being a senator.

Tiberius Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 With Donald Trump continuing to dominate the Republican presidential primary field, many of the GOP’s senior leaders are beginning to contemplate the down-ballot consequences of having the controversial outsider atop the ticket. Typically, control of the Senate and House are heavily influenced by the outcome of the presidential contest, and a bruising general election contest between Trump and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton almost certainly would affect the outcome of some of the congressional races. Related: Trump Takes His Biggest Lead Yet in the Polls House Republicans hold such a large majority, with 246 of 435 seats, that it would take a seismic political upheaval to enable Democrats to regain control. However, that’s not the case in the Senate where the Republicans hold a slender 54 to 46--seat majority, and the Democrats conceivably could forge a slender majority by winning back a small handful of seats currently held by the GOP. “Most analysts acknowledge that Democrats have a plausible but narrow path to a minimal Senate majority, requiring a net gain of four seats if a Democratic vice president is elected, or five seats if the GOP wins the White House,” University of Virginia political analyst Larry J. Sabato and his associates wrote recently. “But this will be a heavy lift because Democrats need to capture the lion’s share of the small number of truly competitive Republican seats.” Democrats have one built-in advantage of only having to defend 10 incumbent seats, compared with 24 for Republicans. Having a controversial figure like Trump as the party’s standard-bearer could decide who enjoys the majority in 2017. A recently leaked National Republican Senatorial Committee staff memo showed the high-wire act party operatives have ahead of them should the billionaire become their nominee, such as not responding to every outlandish Trump claim or pronouncement while also tapping into the anti-Washington sentiment that has made him the frontrunner. While there is no way of knowing at this point the ripple effects of a Trump v. Clinton general election matchup, for now at least it looks as if Clinton would provide a longer coattail for Democrats than Trump would provide for Republicans running for Congress. http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2015/12/06/Five-Most-Endangered-Senate-Republicans For me, I'm hoping that Trump is a fascist. He can't come right out and run as a fascist, of course, but I am intrigued that he's doing so much to kiss up to veterans and the military.

The round up of immigrants, with little girls hiding Ann Frank style against the fascists out to get her. The bullying of the media, assassinations like in Russia, future terrorist attacks (Reichstag fires?) leading to martial law, the right wing militias out there waiting their call. What fun!

You like Trump because you hold out hope that he's secretly an unhinged fascist who would stage a violent coup, put all political dissent to the sword, ruling by junta; inevitably plunging the country into decades of unrest, poverty, and civil war? These are the reasons you like him? And here I thought you were just a garden variety idiot, all the while you've actually been a dangerous lunatic.

Proving that a group that calls out racists is themselves racist, is noteworthy. Also, I tend to give anyone over 80 a bit of slack from being politically correct.
