President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Because you've seen it already. You're playing the same dishonest, ridiculous games you always play and I have no interest in accommodating your bullshit.

There could be video evidence of President Trump colluding with Russia and committing other crimes so heinous that he would be led out of the White House in chains and the most we would get out of you is a "fair enough." More likely, you'd just run and hide again.

 

Another one neither he or SHYFS wrote.

 

Remember when Trump said the GOP was "almost perfect" in its election performance? Thanks to him, of course.
Funny how those numbers have changed in the past week. Democrats are going to be plus-35 instead of plus-25 in the House. Mississippi will make it plus-2 for the Trumpists in the Senate instead of the plus-4 the Lord and Savior bragged about.
Wondering if conservative heroes Clay Travis and Bret Stephens will admit they jumped the gun in predicting a great damage-control effort by their dearly beloved.

 

"Invited to a public hanging" is not a reference to lynching black people.

"Out of your cotton-pickin mind" is more Foghorn Leghorn than anything.

"Chink in the armour" has absolutely no connection to Asians. See "niggardly".

"Monkey this up" is an unequivocal racist dog whistle, that somewhat passes because of liberal lack and pretended lack of understanding of the English language concept that word meanings are dependent on context (e.g. above).

 

Ok. It’s still stupid as holy fuck to use any of those outdated, cliches and worn-out phrases.

There are lots of words. Pick better ones.

 

I agree with you that it isn't a reference to lynching, but unlike "chink in the armor" this one suffers from "too soon" syndrome. The context of saying it when she's running against a black man just congers up imagery from not that long ago. It wasn't a lynching reference but it was not a kosher thing to say.

But she'll cry the PC crowd is out to get her and Mississippi voters will eat it up.

 

It’s going to be interesting to see if either side maintains its zeal in the runoff election (in Mississippi and, if Abrams is successful, in Georgia).

 

I'd love to know what she meant then, because she hasn't provided any other context for such a quote -- ie how someone could with chink in the armor -- when you make that statement in Mississippi and your opponent is African-American

 

You set a pretty high bar there. So unless someone explicitly uses the n-word, you'll give them the benefit of the doubt?
