The Trump Presidency

[Calliander]

Court ruled against Trump...travel ban remains off.

Don't forget Trump proceeded to have a hissy fit on twitter

Neither of these things matter.

Trump signed the order. He made good on his campaign promise. It was in effect at some point and now that it isn't, guess whose fault that is from the eyes of the people who cheered the ban?

Sorry to bring up something ancient and now irrelevant to the topic at hand, but this came up today.

I listen to a lot of NPR. I don't get when people say it's a left wing propaganda machine. Other than incredulity in the tone of some reporters, the facts are presented cogently and fairly.

The confirmation bias I get is the ever growing means in which identity politics form their narratives.

Here's something that was broadcast today:
http://www.npr.org/2017/02/10/514299...with-a-mistake

Simple stories by every day people. Innocuous tale here of how two people met and became married. Then we get to the question asked at 1:10.

"Were you worried at all about marrying someone with a disability?"

... see, now, this story wasn't really about two normal people who met in an unorthodox way and became married. No. This is the story about how someone was able to overcome the adversity of being in a relationship with someone with a disability. How pitiful he was, the disabled person. How noble she was, the person who endured that hardship. How noble we all are, to hear this heartwarming tale of love triumphing over disability.

It's also questions like this which really foster the most surprising answers. I personally was expecting her to say something along the lines of "Well, I always did make fun of gimps and called them drooling retards before, but this guy was different..."

How hard must the hearts of the right be that those are the first thoughts when hearing that.

I wonder if their reaction is the same to stories of faith and how the lort helped people succeed.

Praise the lort!

Discrimination is the new Jesus. People are going to look for that motherfucker in every nook and cranny and burnt piece of toast.

[Calliander]

That's discriminatory against English muffins.

[Josh]

Praise the lort!

I expected nothing less. Just like his unprofessional tirade over Nordstrom ditching Ivanka's products.
And "Easy D"? I am laughing, but not because it's funny. *ref whistle, flag thrown* FOUL! Unpresidential Conduct, number 45.
Welcome to Amateur Hour at the Whiskey Hotel.

Because that's never happened before.

On 3 November 2020, it's time for voters to be the ones who say "YOU'RE FIRED".

If they ran someone like Tammy Duckworth or Bill Richardson or even Caroline Kennedy, sure. At the rate they're going, Dems will probably tap someone like Cory Booker or Elizabeth Warren. Good luck with that.

Hillary will get the nomination in 2020. It was foretold in the tea leaves. and by tea leaves, I mean DNC contributions

[Satsuki]

I swear to fucking god. It better not happen. I love Hillary but it better not happen. I don't think it's going to happen. Cory Booker, maybe?
