President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Did you mean to say Wikipedia is most often a starting point?

 

You said a list of public figures who are Muslim was "purposefully hateful and incendiary."

What is nuanced about that? Buck up, snowflake.

 

Yes. My bad. It's early.

 

Good one. Really hits where it hurts. EDIT: Ya know what, I will spell it out, bc you're a bit slow and can't read between the lines. Answer me this: who created the list of Muslims? and to what end? I already said the ends are either for pride in muslims or to set them apart as "other." what part of that don't you follow? Being against overt pride in one's sect is not being politically correct. it's knowing history and what harm comes from starkly delineating differences. white pride, black pride, irish pride, american pride. whatever. to any extreme it just creates hate toward the people who aren't you.

But if you think the listing of muslims is just a handy reference for slackass journalists...

 

I figured, Shark. Easy enough error to make.

 

Letterman on Trump and other stuff. Very, very Dave.

Trump: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Media: Freak out!

Nick Kristof: If you work for the IRS, please send me Trump's tax return.

It's a little early to judge the media reaction to this plea, but I doubt he's going to receive much criticism for it.

 

I don't know who made the list, but probably a number of people contributed, maybe even hundreds, considering it is Wikipedia.

To what end? Information. Knowing more about people isn't bad. These aren't secret Muslims. Nobody is outing them.

 

YF, at this point everyone except the core Trumpistas want to know what Trump is so determined to hide.

 

There were about three people on that list you might be surprised to learn were Muslim.

If your name is Muhammad, I'm going to guess you're probably Muslim.

 

And, so a reporter should encourage felonious behavior by IRS employees?

 

Racist.
