President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yes. So should people who aren't registered to vote. (And thus, you know, can't just walk into any old precinct and vote.)

The "take the worst serial killer you can imagine and give him a vote" perspective is a perfectly valid one. Dylann Roof gets to vote for governor. Why?

 

I’m waiting for someone to suggest that, while the number of prisoners should be fully counted, they do not have full rights usually afforded citizens, so only 60 percent of that number should be used to calculate congressional districts.

 

We tried that one. Didn’t work out so well.

 

So because people like Dylann Roof exist, the poor schmuck who's incarcerated for a non-violent drug offense shouldn't vote?


And the abortion one, are you assuming that a significant number of women are having abortions for frivolous reasons? Even late-term abortions?

 

On the flip side, we can examine the issue of 99 percent of abortions being done before the fetus is viable or and doesn’t feel pain or the 1 percent that involves BABEEZ being torn limb from limb mere seconds before they go through the birth canal because women are evil Jezebels who endured nine months of pregnancy only to evilly change their mind at the last second even though a late-term abortion costs thousands of dollars, takes multiple days to complete and no woman has an abortion that late unless there are some serious medical problems. Guess which argument the anti-abortion side takes?

 

People on the right do it, too.

I'd say it's more prominent on the left in part because, well, it's easier to pull off legitimately while Trump is in the White House. Democrats can legitimately say they're, you know, better. It's hard not to be.

But that cultural moment also appears to have inspired the idea that not only are Democrats the absence of Trump's awful, but simultaneously in possession of all the enlightened ideas, and, further, uniquely mindful of how to frame those issues.

"To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch with our prison system."

 

Does her larger point become valid with this clause deleted?

 

The majority of anti-abortion folks that I've ever known, including me, are, well, pretty much against both of those kinds of abortions. The pickets outside Planned Parenthood aren't for the latter procedure, I know that.

 

Right, they’d rather the woman die or have her health damaged or have a fetus be born with severe and painful health issues that will kill them shortly after birth than the woman have an abortion. Because it’s God’s Will.
