President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

For every viewer whose response to the talk was “Wow, we should do something about immigration!” there must have been a hundred whose first reaction was “Why does this man keep sniffing?” Deviated septum?

When they vote, it is not a form of civic duty, it is a primal scream.

 

“Look into the eyes of a (Trump voter) and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.”

 

You're right. But I would argue that there's never a bad time for oral sex.

 

I realize public speaking is not a universal skill, but it’s remarkable how poorly this man presents. It’s like he has no idea what to do when he sees any punctuation mark.

 

If we had the same ratio of population to Congressman today as in 1803 the House would have over 8,100 representatives. Counter intuitively, more politicians is better? Or would they be cheaper by the dozen.

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” Mr. King said.
