President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Baxley says the quote was taken out of context and blames the media in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

 

Republicans have abortions too.

 

Good point. But once they're born republicans want them to fend for themselves.

 

Even with less money in their pocket and worse healthcare

 

Lefties prattling on about poor benighted red-staters who don’t know what’s good for them ... is Demsplaining a thing, and if not can I get credit for it?

 

Since this appears to be the Sweeping Generalizations thread, Dems want everyone else to fend for them after birth.

 

Concerned Chuck Todd is a really pathetic version of Chuck Todd.

 

Alt-right not content with only disenfranchising blacks, Hispanics, Jews and other minorities. Even white women are in their sights.

 

Here's the senator's apology statement in full:

"I apologize if my comments yesterday did not properly convey the deep respect I have for elder members of our communities and the concern I share regarding the preventable tragedy that occurred in Hollywood. As a funeral director and ordained elder of my church, I have spent my entire adult life working with families who are grieving the loss of a loved one. In addition to my faith, working in this field has shown me day in and day out that the life of each and every member of our society is special and worthy of respect. Many of the funeral services we coordinate involve elder members of our community, and I take great pride in the opportunity to ensure their lives are honored and celebrated. No family member should have to fear that their loved one is suffering in a nursing home, particularly during a natural disaster. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure the Legislature takes the appropriate steps to safeguard our seniors from the horrific and inexcusable situation that occurred in Hollywood.”

See that? The senator has "deep respect for the elderly" and knew all along that this was a "preventable tragedy" and a "horrific and inexcusable situation." It's just that his words didn't convey those heart-felt sentiments -- or rather, if they didn't, he's sorry. Glad that's cleared up.

Investigations and apologies over nursing home deaths

 

"Prattling on" is a loaded phrase, of course, but it does beat the righty wingnuts who keep vomiting horseshit.

 

Fair enough.

 

I'll give him credit for the apology. These days I expect a double down.
