Buffalo_Gal Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I'd have lost the bet on the contents of this first tweet, the contents of second tweet is much more Romney's style 1

Coming to a sense of political sentience right around the time that "conservatives" were going crazy for this guy really was a good chance for me to see that politics and political parties are wholesale *****-shows. 1

Prolly an unfair question, but what makes a statement racist in you mind? Dis Trump need to say " ya know, those 4 Black women need to go back to where they came from" to make it racist? No, i will vehemently argue this point. Trump has not said all nations outside the US are chitholes etc, only those where the great majority of the populace is people of color. what did he not say? That immigrants were dirty? That they came here to breed? That these 4 women should go back to where they come from? What part did he not say? Correct, he said nothing like that. You stitched in the rest because for reasons known only to you and perhaps your hot yoga instructor, that's the way your mind works. The fact that other people share your tendency to stitch in a similar fashion makes it no more/less truthful than anything else. To boot, he did not tweet about 4 random people sitting on a bench outside a mall, he tweeted about political adversaries who do their own share of crap-throwing, and in some cases label their opponents in very harsh terms. I'd think we could agree the rules are different for those in that realm?

The more influential she becomes, the more money she'll make. The more money she makes, the better the chances she will hire someone to teach her how to peel a potato and speak at the same time! Only in America! When she gets to a certain point the handlers will fix her and her stupidity will be forgotten. The American attention span is the short. I think at some point it doesn't matter anymore.

Dems gonna primary her next year and if that fails NY State Dems will redistrict her out of a seat after the 2020 Census. State machine won't let her near statewide office. She might be lucky to make NYC Council with an eye on Mayor at some point. Maybe hang it up for a stint on MSNBC until she's been forgotten enough to jumpstart her career with porn 2

This is the world that you've been a champion of during your 100 screen name postings. The guy who called me a racist has met me and my family multiple times. That's a word maybe you toss around lightly. I do not and I don't toss it around here often either, even when that nutjob was fantasizing about killing muslims. I would think that if you're going to call someone that, you wouldn't do it on a message board. But that's my standard, not apparently his. I'm happy that you and him have a cheering section for that kind of behavior. Good that you all have each other. Hug it out boys. Edited July 15, 2019 by BeginnersMind

Prolly an unfair question, but what makes a statement racist in you mind? Dis Trump need to say " ya know, those 4 Black women need to go back to where they came from" to make it racist? Yes. He would actually need to say something malignant about race to make it racist. Full stop. Being openly hostile to someone with brown skin is not racist, unless you're hostile because of the color of their skin. It's quite clear why the President is hostile. The ideology of the individuals in question. You can disagree with, even openly savage, a person of color for their ideas and opinions, and not be racist. Quote No, i will vehemently argue this point. Trump has not said all nations outside the US are chitholes etc, only those where the great majority of the populace is people of color. ... Nearly every country hemorrhaging migrants and refugees are those where the overwhelming majority of the populace are people of color. These are typically war torn Third World countries, collapsed failed socialist states, or nations controlled by junta or cartels which is why people are fleeing them en masse. If these countries were any good, people would not be fleeing. People are not flooding from Denmark into Syria. People are not fleeing Canada for the greener pastures of Guatemala. The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele said it best: "They [migrants] fled El Salvador, they fled our country. It is our fault." Quote what did he not say? That immigrants were dirty? That they came here to breed? I've never heard the "dirty" bit, but consider: Migrants and refugees arriving at our Southern Border are often malnourished, impoverished, and disease ridden. They are not inoculated, and carry all manner of disease. The overwhelming majority of people who have died in Border Control custody arrived here deathly ill, after being dragged thousands of miles across a desert. And most do come here to have children. Birthright citizenship is a reality. Further the President isn't the first person to comment on this. The entire DNC electoral strategy is built on it. Here, Melissa Harris-Perry delivers the message in a piece titled the "browning of America" (2014) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/embedded-video/mmvo309395011533" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Quote That these 4 women should go back to where they come from? What part did he not say? Only one woman was not from America. And he didn't say she should go back to where she's from because of her race. You did. Again, it goes back to the first thing I said in this response: it's about ideology. Edited July 15, 2019 by TakeYouToTasker 2 1
