President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I know it is terrible. Amazing in a place like Brighton Beach you have so many people who left Mother Russia for such an evil, terrible place.
I'm sure in Sochi there are many Americans who have left this horrible country.

 

It's fine to those who are here. We don't drop bombs on ourselves.

 

I agree with what Jim Wright said at the end of the post I shared.

"
Some of you have misunderstood my comments.

I think what happened to Sanders is a shitty damned deal. I honestly think it's awful.

I think Sanders should be able to go into any restaurant she likes and enjoy her meal in peace without conflict, attack, or persecution. And I think as a paying customer she deserves prompt, courteous service.

But, see, that's the thing, people like Sanders think that ONLY people like Sanders should have that right.

I think EVERYBODY should."

 

Call me when Peter Fonda is harassed and kicked out of a restaurant. The woman should be allowed to eat a meal. And it’s going a bit far to say “kidnapping” and “imprisoning” especially since the previous Presidential did the same thing.

 

Let's be real about the Trump is America thing. His nomination and election was a total fluke that nobody saw coming because it took a crazy convergence of coincidences, terrible political fuck ups, quirks of the electoral process and international interference to happen.

His ascension did reveal there is a slightly higher percentage of deplorables than we thought, and made it easier for them to make noise, but the majority of the nation never wanted him and he is easily the most unpopular and maligned president of my lifetime.

If he represents America it is in how flawed the two-party system has become.

 

Ahh gotcha.

 

What did Fonda say but Melania and Baron should be treated the same way their husband/father is treating brown people? If what he said is so damn repulsive to the right perhaps they should rethink the policy?

 

Report: Richest 1% cornered 82% of wealth created in 2017

Billionaires grew their wealth by $762 billion in 12 months, an increase that Oxfam says could have ended "global extreme poverty" seven times over.

• 42 people own the same wealth as the bottom 3.7 billion.
• The three richest people in the U.S. own the same wealth as the bottom 50%.

 

All that is true.

But he DID win 41 primary contests, almost four times as many as the next closest candidate.

And he DID dominate every primary debate, and he DID garner the lion's share of media coverage (instead of the media saying, "screw this cartoon character").

You can say his election was a fluke, but his nomination was anything but.

 

Children are not being put in a cage with pedophiles, which is what Fonda called for. I’m no Trump fan but you’re not helping the cause by condoning a whack job on the left.

 

Sanders kicked out of a restaurant. Man. Some people know how to do some interesting, hurtful shit to the Democratic cause, don’t they?

 

That is really fucked up.
