President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Wasn't that the appeal of the guy for a lot of people? That you were basically voting for your racist uncle? He's just doing the same things your racist uncle does: watching Fox News and treating forwarded emails as a credible source.

 

This is disgusting. I can't believe people in New York would target Jewish cemeteries for vandalsim:

Visiting New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday that a recent rash of anti-Semitic acts in the United States was “reprehensible” and his state would have no tolerance for them.
...
Speaking at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, Cuomo says the incidents “violated every tenant of the New York State tradition.” He said the state has posted rewards and put together a special police unit to combat the phenomenon.
...
The New York Police Department’s hate crimes division is investigating the toppled headstones at Washington Cemetery in Brooklyn.

Cuomo calls anti-Semitic attack in New York 'reprehensible'


Oh. Sorry. In a rush to sensationalize everything, it was falsely reported as vandalism. Turns out it was just neglect -- which is also pretty sad:

Headstones toppled at a cemetery that serves the Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York, were determined to be due to neglect, not vandalism.

The fallen headstones at the Washington Cemetery was discovered on Saturday night, according to reports. At first vandalism was suspected.

New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind tweeted photos of some of the downed headstones on Saturday night. He said he was alerted to the toppled headstones by the Boro Park Shomrim organization, a Jewish security patrol.

Headstones toppled at Brooklyn Jewish cemetery were from negelct not vandalism, NYPD says

 

I'm actually somewhat sympathetic to the voter ID argument but there's a time and place to make it. The pulpit of Brown Chapel AME during the Bloody Sunday commemoration is very much not the time and place.

John Merrill touted voter ID at Selma service, churchgoers left in protest

 

I guess he thought the people there would just form a line. Idiot.

As you said, the wrong time and place to even bring that subject up.

 

/facepalm

 

5 Points: Why Trump's Budget Plan Might Be In Bigger Trouble Than You Think

"I don't think Trump is the same kind of president as Reagan. He's not as experienced in government, and I don't think he feels the same level of responsibility," he said. "I think he is more willing to break the china."

Well, duh.

 

Maybe someday you'll hold the President to the same standards you apply to the rest of the world.

 

LOL. I missed that. Sounds like something I would write.

WaPo error? Did they take it from a published statement and not add a (sic) to it?

 

Trump is exactly who we thought he was.

We had an election, and he won.

 

You thought he was at best prone to believing conspiracy theories - theories which, ironically, he actually has the power to disprove or prove whenever he'd like - or at worst a blatant and nearly constant liar, and you still voted for him?


Yeah. .... I know. .... the emails.

 

He looks like a first cousin to Fletch roller skating at the beach.
