President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

Are you going to claim the Trumpist klan isn’t motivated by disdain for the opposition? Democrats hate Trump and his klan because they do things like march with torches in their fucking hands and scream bigoted slurs. Or try to kill members of Congress to subvert democracy.

The klan for which you are an apologist hates people because of how they look or talk.

 

Maybe, but we would still be a hell of a lot better off.

 

An Ohio Republican mostly authored the 14th Amendment. Imagine that.

Sen. John A. Bingham, who lived to age 85 and I'm sure died happy.

They say this the Democrats list. It isn’t. Fuck every last one of those 77 million assholes. You don’t want to be called racist? Don’t be racist.

And knock off the casually accusing people you don’t like of being pedophiles.

Tom Hanks is one of the good guys. No way he could be a pedophile.

 

As noted a few pages back, Fatfuck and his minions want to erase all three of the Reconstruction Amendments, starting with the Thirteenth.

13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery (1865)

 

It's staggering how many people can read "ABC" and come out thinking it says "XYZ."

I never said the firings were to save money. I said they were OSTENSIBLY to save money.
ostensibly (adv.)---purportedly, but perhaps not actually.

Nor did I say any of the firings were "OK." The only "normalizing" I did was to point out that when hundreds/thousands of jobs are being axed at once---whether it's at Walmart, Starbucks or the Oval Office---little attention is typically paid as to how each individual whacked employee was doing his/her job.

 

everyone does teh bad even with good intentions

 

Trump voters are motivated by disdain, yes.

I am not an apologist for Trump, either.

 

Of course you’re not.

 

I know many people who are not evil, did not march with torches nor screamed bigoted slurs, nor stormed the Capitol, nor tried to kill members of Congress, who voted for Donald Trump.
Your last sentence is a gross generalization.

 

Four top deputies to Eric Adams have resigned, New York mayor says

It won’t be instant, but Adams won’t survive this, I don’t think.

Hochul, who can give Adams the boot, called a meeting of key leaders on Tuesday to discuss what to do.

Adams can’t be gone fast enough, IMO.
