Does anybody else find it extremely funny that in T's attempt to make everyone believe that Trump is a racist and he's the president of stupid people, that he has even outmatched Wishy as the most offensive person on this board in his constant personal attacks and espousal of hate?

One did. One example given.

Brenda didn't even say it was a slur. She just said Trump was an asshole.

Jack, I explained how she found out that she was part Indian and that is how I found out. Family stories and sometimes that is all you have after so much time has passed.

It's like calling someone a "redskin" or "halfbreed". It means that we are less than a white person. We are still not viewed as being worthy.

So in a nutshell yes Jack it is a slur. I was offended and offended for the code talkers that were there to be honoured.

Sorry Brenda, but "it's like calling somebody a "redskin" or a "halfbreed" doesn't cut it for me. He didn't call her a redskin or a halfbreed. He's not Voldemort going around calling people mudbloods.

He said Pocahontas. He said that some people call her Pocahontas. Looks to me like it was nothing more than a miserably failed attempt at levity.

I've already said it wasn't a smart thing to say, and I'll even go as far as to say that it could be considered to be insensitive to some people, but it wasn't a racial slur and did not come from a place of hatred. I'm sorry you feel offended (although I will not apologize for him because I didn't say it).

Ask yourself this. If Obama were to have said the exact same thing, charmer that he was, do you think that you or anyone else would have thought claimed it was a racial slur? And before you say "oh... he wouldn't say that", we're talking in theoreticals here.

He's considered to be smarter, more charming, more likable and he's a black man. And he's a democrat. I think if it were mentioned by the MSM after the fact it would only be to say how cute of a moment it was.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

The Presidency as a soap opera in Real Life ...
Not just a silly movie this time?

This is scary to me like handing my car keys to a drunk teen-ager.

Many of us in the Olde School are really appalled ... I hadn't realized
that many don't know the difference between TV (both "reality TV" &
TV for entertainment) and Real Life. I should understand it, tho, since
I've often tried to make my real life more like fantasyland.

Since the election, my hope has been that he'll continue to offend so
often, so badly, that even the far right will reject him.
Isn't the Right s'posed to be Conservative, aka well-mannered?

... oooOO}{OOooo ...

I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.

One in three republicans want a different republican to run in the next presidential race.

1. If Obama ever said something that stupid and any democrat thought it was cute then that democrat should have been taken out and shot.- BRENDA

By whom? The MSM let go by the destruction of Libya, the attempted destruction of Syria, and Obama's drone warfare with its attendant blood-letting, ethnic cleansing, terrorism, and displacement without a word. So-called liberals and democrats did the same. The Nobel committee gave Obama a peace prize, just for being the first half-black American President, and didn't have the balls to take it back after he started so much violence and supported jihadist terrorists. Everybody gave Obama a big fat "pass" on all of the evil that he did, maybe because he was half-black, just like everybody (wrongly) gave Clarence Thomas the benefit of the doubt, just because HE was black. Identity politics at its worst.

Just my opinion.

Okay. I don't know if all of this is true, but I won't argue any of it either, because it certainly seems to be the case.

But then this bullshit...

Quote:
Has he done anything yet that benefits people that aren't wealthy white dudes? Almost everything has been a take away or a negating of something, and almost all of it an action against non-white people. He insults Native Peoples in the White House one week, and then opens up some of the land they hold as sacred the next. He must hate them. He attacks black athletes. He attacks Muslims. How much racism does he have to exhibit before you have a problem, or until you are comfortable having no problem being publicly pro-bigot?

The black athletes he "attacks" are racist.

The Muslims he "attacks" are racist.

I'm sure if wealthy people are benefiting from anything that he's doing just for the rich people, there are plenty of black and muslim rich people who are making out as well.

I still see no evidence that he hates American Indians. I don't even know why anybody in the country would hate them. I've only known a few in my lifetime and they were some of the nicest and most interesting people I've ever known.

You're going to have to elaborate on whatever you're on about with their sacred land. I have no idea what you're talking about. That sounds like something I would be very against if it is as you say it is.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

==============================

Yep and that is the larger point. He is self serving and ignorant. Those are just two negative aspects of Trumps personality. There are many more. His personal makeup is the personal makeup of a terrible person. One not fit to be president.

None of what comes out of his mouth or he attempts to do suggests he has vision. Only a lack of knowledge and forethought. The fact that sig and Jack disagree is documented here for all to reference.

History won't wait to judge Trump. It has already begun. The history of these threads won't wait to judge sig and Jack. That too has already begun.

I wear it with pride, T.

I'm not a mindless Maddow sycophant parroting her very well paid words.

Trump has a lot of flaws. This I don't deny.

There's no need for you or anybody else to make a bunch of shit up about him when he does a bang up job of it himself.
