President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yes, exactly. It's the "WhatAbout?" framing that is a problem.

 

Another spectacular splattering of horseshit.

 

I don't think anyone is picking on Nazis. They deserve every bit of scorn.

I also don't think violence is the answer, as the unintended consequences of such a practice will be far worse than people could imagine.

I also don't think we should wrongly out college professors as Nazis when they aren't, or threaten reporters who look like they might be white supremacists.

I apologize if any of this is controversial.

 

I don't know how you live with yourself ...

 

The collar of his... shirt... I'm sorry... I need... to... go... vo... mit.

 

I got to thinking yesterday about my high school history textbook, issued to me in the fall of 1991. Everything after 1968 might have gotten five pages or so, and we never even got to them in class.

For a history class to properly cover Trump, you're going to need an entirely new book to cover everything from the moment when he came down the escalator to slander Mexico in his announcement he was running to about Labor Day of this year. Then you'll have to start the next volume. It will look like a set of encyclopedias by the end of this term.

 

None of it is independently controversial.

It becomes controversial when it is linked, the way it was by Limbaugh yesterday and by you here, to Nazis. Read Limbaughs' monologue. The entire Nazi soliloquy is intended as a lead-up to criticize the other side. No one will simply independently condemn the Nazis.

 

I'll bet the story of that worker and his feelings doing that work is a pretty good one.

 

They'll get a lot of space back, however, in the portion where they would typically discuss legislation passed during the term.

 

Many sides.

Controversial Trump Aide Katharine Gorka Helped End Funding For Group That Fights White Supremacy | HuffPost

 

Now imagine someone in the Obama administration had tried to cut funding for fighting Jihadist terrorism and then a Muslim man was stopped by the FBI in an attempt to detonate a half-ton bomb on an American target.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. Its got blood on it.
