Still better than Hillary of course. He epitomizes everyone who voted for him. He is a reflection of the segment of America that is cruel and filled with hate. At this point directed humiliation and shunning these people from our communities is all we can do to safeguard our values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the job. Has been for every President. But one group or another likes to act like it's abuse of taxpayer money when the other political party does it. Yes, I can see the point that maybe it's different, when the Secret Service has to rent two floors of Trump Tower, and pay rent to the POTUS. Maybe it's different when POTUS is both authorizing spending the money, and receiving it. Maybe. But this? Sure looks like trying to manufacture artificial outrage, to me.

Llevron Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Not only Trump but all those people talking about respect the flag couldn't get over Obama's spending. I think we need to point it out seeing as how it was so important to them then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump himself was complaining about this though. How can you not cover it when he's in the White House? To start with, the tweet doesn't even point out Trump changing his position. All it says is "this is how much it cost". And I'm pretty sure that, when Trump was complaining about the cost of the Obama family vacation, CBS' position was "look how petty Trump is being, complaining about this". Now the Party label has changed, and both Trump and CBS have changed their opinion as to whether this cost is news. And this proves that Trump is a hypocrite? Maybe I wouldn't have as much of a problem, if the tweet had consisted of retweeting Trump's message about Obama, followed by the price tag. But, at least what got posted here, was simply an announcement about how much it cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 These Puerto Rico tweets confirm that Donald Trump is a racist pig. And much of America is okay with that. This is where we are as a country today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And much of America is okay with that. This is where we are as a country today. should it have taken someone that long tho? I am not trying to be divisive here, but even if you hadn't heard of Trump until the campaign it was quiet evident he was by his own words. Let alone his past racist rhetoric. And America was a country founded on racism and thrived on it. Much of America has always been okay with that. Matt Taibbi wrote a great column in Rolling Stone a few weeks ago about impeaching Trump but had a passage about America deserving Trump because we have been often quiet on these topics. Its not that he racist, sexist, misogynistic d-bag. Its that he is saying it out in the open. Quote We deserve Trump, though. God, do we deserve him. We Americans have some good qualities, too, don't get me wrong. But we're also a bloodthirsty Mr. Hyde nation that subsists on massacres and slave labor and leaves victims half-alive and crawling over deserts and jungles, while we sit stuffing ourselves on couches and blathering about our "American exceptionalism." We dumped 20 million gallons of toxic herbicide on Vietnam from the air, just to make the shooting easier without all those trees, an insane plan to win "hearts and minds" that has left about a million still disabled from defects and disease – including about 100,000 children, even decades later, little kids with misshapen heads, webbed hands and fused eyelids writhing on cots, our real American legacy, well out of view, of course. Nowadays we use flying robots and missiles to kill so many civilians and women and children in places like Mosul and Raqqa and Damadola, Pakistan, in our countless ongoing undeclared wars that the incidents scarcely make the news anymore. Our next innovation is "automation," AI-powered drones that can identify and shoot targets, so human beings don't have to pull triggers and feel bad anymore. If you want to look in our rearview, it's lynchings and race war and genocide all the way back, from Hispaniola to Jolo Island in the Philippines to Mendocino County, California, where we nearly wiped out the Yuki people once upon a time. This is who we've always been, a nation of madmen and sociopaths, for whom murder is a line item, kept hidden via a long list of semantic self-deceptions, from "manifest destiny" to "collateral damage." We're used to presidents being the soul of probity, kind Dads and struggling Atlases, humbled by the terrible responsibility, proof to ourselves of our goodness. Now, the mask of respectability is gone, and we feel sorry for ourselves, because the sickness is showing. So much of the Trump phenomenon is about history. Fueling the divide between pro- and anti-Trump camps is exactly the fact that we've never had a real reckoning with either our terrible past or our similarly bloody present. The Trump movement culturally represents an absolute denial of our sins from slavery on – hence the intense reaction to the removal of Confederate statues, the bizarre paranoia about the Washington Monument being next, and so on. But #resistance is also a denial mechanism. It makes Trump the root of all evil, and is powered by an intense desire to not have to look at the ugliness, to go back to the way things were. We see this hideous clown in the White House and feel our dignity outraged, but when you really think about it, what should America's president look like? Trump is no malfunction. He's a perfect representation of who, as a country, we are and always have been: an insane monster. Frankly, we're lucky he's not walking around using a child's femur as a toothpick. When it's not trembling in terror, the rest of the world must be laughing its ass off. America, land of the mad pig president. Shove that up your exceptionalism. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/taibbi-madness-of-donald-trump-removal-25th-amendment-w504149 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yup. Much of America is into holding and expressing racism, or denial of racism, or minimizing of racism, and castigating people who are loudly and fiercely protesting the widespread institutional racism that remains and is still often fatal. Calls to attention those whose regular priority of focus seems to be the denial and minimization shtick and how the "racism" is incorrectly applied at times and it's a "debatable" noise in general. They seem to become most animated and invested when they think the protesting is done in a way that annoys/inconveniences them or is unfounded in their view, yet are rarely seen worrying about actual racism and posting much if anything from that perspective. People often tell you a lot by what they don't say, or say very little about, when they do have plenty to say on what they do say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post wasnt meant to have a go at you, but at any person who is saying "I cant believe we have a racist as our president," after those tweets today. But no, I will not apologize because the mindset of anyone not knowing Trump was a racist, misogynistic, and crude human being until September 30th, 2017 is completely unacceptable. Again, it wasnt having a go at you at all, so I will apologize for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
