President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Major news organizations have made colossal mistakes about Russia for three-quarters of a century.

 

Scene: Last June, during a Saturday breakfast
8-year-old: Mommy, do you know what f-u-c-k means?
Wife (ashen white): Yes, why? Where did you hear it?
8yo: At STEM camp, a boy there says it all the time. Katelynn and I figured out it’s the worst of all the bad words and don’t want to know what it means. It’s like you combined the S word and H word together?
Wife: What words are those?
8yo: Stupid and hate, of course.
Wife: Oh right.
8yo: So we don’t want to know what f-u-c-k means. It’s pronounced “fuck,” by the way.

 

I don't want to jinx it, I am flying tomorrow, because I know there are horror stories but I love Spirit. I can fly to Myrtle Beach for 2 people round trip with a bag for about $250. They must have improved their web site as I have used them for the last 3 or 4 years and other than usual website runaround--finding baggage size for example--they seem to be pretty upfront with the charges.

 

My wife’s friend’s daughter, when she was 5 or 6, came home from school and told her she had gotten in trouble for saying “the S word” and “the S-H word.” So Mom, confused, asks, “Was it ‘shit?’” Daughter says, “No, it was ‘stupid’ and ‘shut up.’ What does ‘shit’ mean?”

 

So, CBS joined CNN in getting the email story wrong.

Now, tell me, how could a source have provided to CBS the image used in this tweet, and gotten the date of the email wrong accidentally?

They just cropped out the header, which included the date.

 

How do you account for all the minorities who are congressmen, senators, judges, CEO’s, and even a former president, if your statement is true?

 

"All" of the minorities? Ha!

In Congress, Democrats diverse, Republicans older white men?

 

Norwegian?

 

Let's check the stats.

White men currently make up 31% of the population.

They make up 77% of the current U.S. Senate, 70% of the U.S. House of Representatives.

They make up 55% of the U.S. Supreme Court.

A white man is president, marking 44 out of 45 presidents in history being white men. His Cabinet is 75% white men.

If you have an alternative explanation for why a demographic that makes up less than 1/3rd of the country has a comfortable majority, sometimes super-majority, in every branch of government, I'm open to it?

You mentioned CEOs. 72% of Fortune 500 executives are white men.

This is a country where white men are a protected class. They are granted extra power at every step of the process and guard it zealously, all while pretending they had no advantages at all.

If you disagree, how do you account for those statistics?

 

If what you say is true, why is the average income of a Asian man about $75,000, while the average income for an white man about $55,000?

In addition, you're using past white men as POTUS to somehow prove those rules exist now.

 

You have to actually answer one of my questions before I answer more of yours. You don't just get to keep dodging by asking additional questions.

And do you realize that you just used a past non-white president in your argument, I responded with all the other past presidents, and then you complained about using past presidents instead of looking at the current one? Who is 100% white? Do you realize how *stupid* that line of thought was from you?
