Thread: The Trump Presidency

    "Everybody" is not President of the United States, and thus president of all the people, etc.

    A majority of the American electorate voted for Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump. They did not prefer "President Archie Bunker."

    Rather than give Bernie (or any other challenger) a fair shot at the nomination, your party made it a coronation ceremony for her royal highness. Now you get to enjoy the consequences. You get to enjoy all of it.
    See above.

    Presidents aren't superhuman, nor are they cyborgs. They're regular humans, flaws and all. That's why most reasonable people gave Bill a pass for his dalliances.

    The fact that some countries are shitholes is not debatable. The left has used this fact to push for looser immigration rules. The right has used this fact to advocate for stronger immigration controls. It's a fact, shitholes exist. We're just not used to hearing it expressed so bluntly.

  3. To add to the above:

    Yes, many people are racist, Andrew. Many previous presidents were openly racist, rude, vulgar, or all of the above. The problem is that Trump is racist and his domestic and foreign policy is driven by racism.

    You forgive Donald's racist policies because goshdarnit he's just a human being. Oh, the humanity!

    Point a piece of policy that's racist, though. I'm not defending what he said or how he said it. Even if, yes, there are some "shithole" countries out there, we have to deal with said countries for many reasons (trade, defense, etc.) and this isn't helpful. But I haven't seen any "racist policies" come to pass since January 2017.

    Hey, when is Jeffy S coming for my reefers?

    His "good people don't smoke marijuana" statement makes me want to shit in his mouth. This moral cocksucker.

    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

    All countries that aren't America are shitholes. Fuck all y'all.

    I'll play along.

    In a discussion about immigration from African nations, Mr. Trump asked why he would want "all these people from shithole countries," according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation. Mr. Trump also said the United States should admit more people from places like Norway, an overwhelmingly white country.

    And see Josh's post, above mine.

    Why would anyone move out of Norway? Especially to this shithole country.
