President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

#AbolishICE & #AbolishCBP!

I'm sure these fine young students are all for border security, but just want to "fix" ICE.

 

I think it may be a parody acct. I told them to go for it.

 

Whataboutism is bullshit when you use it to defend Trump and it is bullshit when you use it to defend yourself. That type did something wrong doesn't make what you did right.

 

Perspective | Chasing White House officials out of restaurants is the right thing to do

“One of the telling features of this political moment is that the president — the lying, slandering, raging, insulting president — constantly whines about how nastily and unfairly other people treat him. It justifies everything. When analysts warn against sinking to Trump’s level, they are missing that point: Complaining about bad manners is, itself, Trump’s level. Trump would desperately rather talk about his staff being mistreated than about children in cages. To fret about it along with him, to echo the notion that some fundamental rule was violated by not serving Sanders a fancy dinner, is to take an active part in his performance of victimhood.

“No appeal to decency can ever bring Trump and the Trumpists around. It is not possible to mollify a political cult that runs on outrage, and it’s not worth trying.”

 

A. This line, And there goes YankeeFan making it personal again, suggests I was the one who made it personal.

2. In your role of self appointed hall monitor, why didn't you call out typefitter for going personal?

 

Own your shit before you question mine, YF. Just this once, try showing a tiny bit of integrity. It will be good for your soul.

 

Just because something is gay, like trumps love for putin, does not mean it can't be used for humor. It is a funny, running joke that trump loves putin. They are men so the "gay" is going to show up in any jokes about the 2(little heart here) of them.

 

Isn't that a classic example of this Whataboutism we've been hearing so much about?

 

As my gay friend Kyle once admonished me, "There's nothing wrong with being a cocksucker, typefitter. No cocksuckers, no cocks are getting sucked. And then where are we?"

I conceded that Kyle had a point.

 

Longtime New York City congressman, and Queens powerbroker, is about to get beat in a primary by a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, who is running on a platform that includes abolishing ICE.

But, I'm sure this won't further radicalize elected Dems on the issue.

 

So, can I joke about Ragu and Type being lovers, or is that across the line?
