President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Same old shit it’s long been, that Jesus preached against. That we’re good at being Pharisees.

But specifically:

As it relates to why Christians have been embedded for (far) too long in the Republican Party, I'd say two things:

>>The uncoupling is in process and has been for about 10 years. Millennials and young Gen Xers who cut their teeth on the individualistic, seeker-sensitive 90s church are seeing the spell cast over those massive congregations. The spell is ending.

>>To the extent the spell still holds among younger Christians, it's largely abortion. Not gay marriage. Not really. Abortion, tho...even this week, it came up in circles. As a platform emerges for "Christian" candidates over the next decades, abortion will make the cut. So will gun control.

 

Sorry, Alma.

Didn't mean to make you answer the question again.

 

If you are upset about what Roseanne Barr said but aren't upset about what Peter Fonda said, you are what is wrong with this planet.

 

Hmmmm.

I can certainly object to both statements. As can their employers.

Who have the freedom to discipline each one as they see fit.

 

In the meantime, crime is down and the number of people entering the country illegally has been stable or trending down for years.

And a study done by this White House puts the recent contribution of refugees at something in excess of $63 billion over the last decade.

Instead, we get government by Fox and Friends.

 

Absolutely outstanding work. But don't rest on your laurels.

 

Perhaps I have read the wrong tweet by Fonda but I don't really see the comparison to Barr. Fonda's tweet was insensitive and not something I would tweet but I understand what he was doing. These scumbag Trumps have no issue separating brown children from their parents and throwing them in cages. This is undeniable. How do you think Melania would react if the same thing was done to Baron? I but that she would "really care".

Roseanne compared a black woman to a damn dirty ape.

 

Nope, while Roseanne was expressing an individual opinion, she represents 10s of millions of assholes. Peter Fonda, a relative minor actor, was expressing an individual opinion shared by dozens of assholes.

 

This is inaccurate. BMW and Mercedes made the offer to drop tariffs on both sides. This came from Germany. The problem is that Germany is in the EU and that they cannot simply make that deal. It would have to come from the EU as a whole to be binding.

 

Nope.

 

So when will Fresh Mark's CEO and Board be thrown in jail?
