The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 464 - Politics and Economics

Watched a 3 minute video of the shooter online. Not usually one to watch things like this. I’m pretty sure that’s the first person I’ve seen killed in a video.

Sick to my stomach right now.

I’m never watching one frame of this.

She really thinks that putting kids in cages is "democratic"?

I can think of a few other adjectives I would call that.

If she said that, she is mentally ill.

"They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert."

Really sickening.

Pretty crazy that a “Jexodus” tweet might not be the low point of the DAY.

I really don't see a reason to do so. At this point, all of us have seen clips of gruesome terrorism occurring. Is seeing another one going to benefit us in any way?

If we get a new president and the bikers dont kill us all this should be one of the priorities. Separate our justice system from the executive branch far far more.

They don’t understand the key part of that sentence is she is a 29 year old congresswoman.

They dont understand (remember) they were complaining about rich people corruptly controlling everything for most of their lives either. Its good to remind them. Often.

They are not normal weather events. That’s what makes if so insane. They are obviously data demonstrating global warming but he is too stupid to connect the dots even when they are literally connected for him by an army of scientists.

Agree entirely that it’s a mistake to try to reason with an entire side of bad faith actors. Ignore them and outnumber them. There’s no other solution

But asked whether he saw a worrying rise in white supremacy movements around the world, Trump said he did not, blaming a small group of people "with very, very serious problems."

But no problem at all demonizing entire races or creeds for the small group of people with very very serious problems

**** him and everyone who stands with him

I wonder if this guy feels the same way about poverty, health care and guns?
