President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Haha. I understand the jab at Trump, but professional athletes aren't exactly jacked up on index funds.

 

No. Not conned at all. They support Trump simply because supporting the Republican presidential candidate is what self-centered billionaires focused on not wanting to pay more taxes are reflexively conditioned to do.

The evidence that he's crazy or racist or whatever is not nearly as important to them as the question of which candidate will be friendlier to their tax bill.

 

Donald Trump, I listened to your Alabama rally rant and could not believe how easily you say what you say.

We have become numb to your outlandish acts, tweets and recent retweet of you knocking down Hillary Clinton with a golf ball that you hit.

Donald Trump, your boorish and disgusting actions are not funny. They actually promote violence against women especially when your followers act out what you say.

I used to walk the grounds of UVA in Charlottesville, VA as a graduate student only to watch in horror as those same grounds became a battlefield being trod by Nazi and anti-Semitic worshippers armed with assault style weapons ready to fight to make America White again.(their words). You actually said there were nice people on both sides. People armed and ready to kill other Americans for the purpose of eradicating Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Mexicans, Asians, Latinas and even the first real Americans, Native Americans to make America Great Again were “nice people”? ...

I served my country not in the military, but as 1 of 362 American Astronauts that have explored the universe to help advance our civilization. Not just Americans, but all humans. I also was briefly in the NFL and stood for the National Anthem with my hand over my heart. What makes us great is our differences and respecting that we are all created equally even if not always treated that way.

Looking back at our planet from space really helps one get a bigger perspective on how petty and divisive we can be. Donald Trump, maybe you should ask your good friend Mr. Putin to give you a ride on a Soyuz rocket to our International Space Station and see what it’s like to work together with people we used to fight against, where your life depends on it. See the world and get a greater sense of what it means to be part of the human race, we call it the Orbital Perspective.

Donald Trump, please know that you are supposed to be a unifier and a compassionate and empathetic leader. If you can’t do the job then please step down and let someone else try. I pray that you do the right thing.

Didn't realize we had an astronaut who was also an NFL player.

If ever there was a resume that would help you get laid...

 

Leland Melvin is a smart, interesting, and inspiring guy.

But, does he really refer to himself as a former NFL Player? I’ve played in as many regular season NFL games as he has.

 

Met this guy after he flew with John Glenn.

Astronaut, medical doctor, Olympian, summitted Mount Everest, Rhodes Scholar...

Reaction from Bristol:

 

Oh fuck off, Kellyanne. You'll do anything to derail legitimate criticism of your psychotic overlords.

 

This just keeps getting better. Tomorrow is going to be a shit show.

 

I’m not looking to derail anything, but if you’re going to call yourself a former NFL player, you should have played, or at least dressed, for a regular season game. Being in camp isn’t enough to earn the designation.

 

I get your point, of course.
But you're trying to distract again.
