Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Springsteen from the current Rolling Stone interview:


You mentioned the election onstage the other night. What do you make of the Trump phenomenon?

Well, you know, the republic is under siege by a moron, basically. The whole thing is tragic. Without overstating it, it's a tragedy for our democracy. When you start talking about elections being rigged, you're pushing people beyond democratic governance. And it's a very, very dangerous thing to do. Once you let those genies out of the bottle, they don't go back in so easy, if they go back in at all. The ideas he's moving to the mainstream are all very dangerous ideas – white nationalism and the alt-right movement. The outrageous things that he's done – not immediately disavowing David Duke? These are things that are obviously beyond the pale for any previous political candidate. It would sink your candidacy immediately.

I believe that there's a price being paid for not addressing the real cost of the de-industrialization and globalization that has occurred in the United States for the past 35, 40 years, and how it's deeply affected people's lives and deeply hurt people to where they want someone who says they have a solution. And Trump's thing is simple answers to very complex problems. Fallacious answers to very complex problems. And that can be very appealing.

 

Have Democrats ever talked about elections being rigged?

 

WWAAAAAAAHHHHH! What a whiny, petulant little troll. BTW, those "nasty" ads? Sound bites from Fucko himself. Have fun getting laughed out of court, and hard as it may be, try to remember to pay your attorneys.

Trump threatens to sue over 'nasty' campaign ads

 

Hillary is doing another hard hitting interview.



And, real members of the media might be upset, but they ask puffball questions when they get the chance, so what's the difference?

 

I've never The Boss sound so eloquent.
He better convince those voters down by the river working construction for The Johnstown Company to vote for Hillary.

 

Blacks have had the privilege to work their asses off for everything the white man got for most of the history of this country too!

 

No. The GOP gerrymanders districts so they don't have to be frauding.

 

Were you born in 2001?

 

YF, did I miss your condemnation of Trump going on Fallon?

 

The percentage of Dumpf supporters who are "nondeplorable" is not 50 percent, it's more like 10 percent.

Fucko is a historically abominable, abysmal, repulsive, repugnant, despicable and yes, deplorable candidate. He's the worst candidate ever defecated out by the American political system into the mouths of the electorate.

At absolute best supporting Dumpf can be written off to lack of sufficient information, but participating in a democracy carries the responsibility of at least minimally informing yourself on the candidates.

The Dumpf pumpers will attempt to argue that Hitlerry is worse. No, she's not -- bullshit. Pull your head out of the Faux Fascist Noise propaganda toilet.

Failing lack of information, the only justification for voting for Fucko comes back to active racism/sexism. In other words, deplorable. And despicable. Fuck you and the horse's ass you're riding in on. You can ride him off into the shitheap of history.

 

Yes, and it was pretty dumb to do.

 

I don't think we're very far apart in this discussion, really.
