lol wait, now Trump isn't prejudging reporters of other races? Are we all watching the same press conferences? He literally refused to let a CNN reporter ask a question at another press conferences (a WHITE CNN REPORTER CAN YOU BELIEVE IT).

Prejudice and racism are two totally different things Wookie. Stop crying racism because Trump asked a reporter if she knew people at the CBC, it is ridiculous.

Which reporters got subjected to ridiculous stereotypes because of their race?

That stream died so here is a fresh one:

lol

the 3rd definition for racism at m-w.com is
"i'm not RACIST, i'm prejudiced" isn't a useful distinction to anyone btw

LOL Tsao

I didn't look, but just wanted to say that, for your own benefit, you might want to reflect on why pain in others make you feel good.

My overall point was that just because my nickname says Euro doesn't mean I'm not American or that I don't have knowledge of US politics or something to say about it. I was annoyed given others have questioned me just because of the "euro" part and not because of the substance of my posts. Regardless, water under the bridge.

inb4 ah ah ah but ESPECIALLY so lol u

come on guys....literally what I've been saying....

Guys - look at the Trump's America thread.

Why are you reaching for fake examples of racism when there is so much real racism in the world? It's kind of silly, makes Trump win, which then creates more racism. Get it together.

Man, the poor factory worker thing. My wife and I have invested a tremendous amount of our time and energy on professional development and have since our college years. Neither of us work in fields related to our majors and haven't for a long time. Took on a lot of school debt and lean years, made hard choices passing on some short-term perks for longer-term gains. Now we live in an economically strong area (paying absurd property taxes) so we can work decent jobs, both belong to prof associations, and do more or less what we have to in order to provide stability when things we can't control happen. It doesn't really end for us.

I suppose she could have stayed back home in her go-nowhere rural Pennsylvania town working **** jobs, I could have shuffled along working casino jobs in a dying town, like most of our family and childhood friends did, who are now trying to raise families and get by on those dying jobs. Hoping Trump or somebody can come along and turn back time for them.

Some of these so-called conservatives seem to forget they're conservatives. They're not supposed to want government meddling in these things, no handouts or interference, people gotta just work hard and get there on their own. Isn't that what the say to the inner-city folks who are underemployed and lack relevant job skills? Because it only seems to count as "elitist" and "out-of-touch" thinking when liberals say it.

Sucks to see people displaced and losing their homes and entire towns rotting away, hurting families and everyday people, but I think that line of thinking is wearing out with me.

hot take: the republicans lose 2018 in a wave election if they repeal the ACA.
The town halls are nuts.

Lol at flagrantly ignoring the other post.

they also lose if they dont, though?

Maybe they should've had, you know, a plan for this whole so-called "HEALTH" care "STUFF", and things.

It is starting to look suspiciously like repealing Obamacare was just mindless anti-Obama rhetoric, not something these people actually wanted to let go of. But maybe I'm just being too cynical.

Nice to see the GOP get stuck in between their constituents and their backers though. Already had a bit of a time watching them fire up a bunch of their locals over the DeVos vote.

Tuned in and immediately hear him get savaged. A+

OMG THIS IS AMAZING

seriously everyone watch this

This just in: everything Libruls do or say helps trump win apparently

This post just swayed 2 people to vote for Trump.

FFS the straight line implication is that a black man who wasnt given a Christian name couldn't possibly be born in the US.

A certain hysteria is necessary to win political power. Look what happened with the right didn't check their fringe of birtherism, claims of Obama's terrorist cuddling, and hysteria about losing freedom and government tyranny over a center-right healthcare plan. They control everything now.

Of course. The right way for liberals to gain power is to sit down and shut up and let conservatives do whatever they want.

The good general, for all the ideas he has in his head about how to gain political power in the United States, he does not seem to be willing to examine just how the current dominant party actually gained power.

Please list all the white Presidents who had their birth certificate questioned. We can wait.

I think it was Buchanan, but back in the 19th century, there was something of a birther thing around some President some suspected had been born in Ireland. Plus Chester A. Arthur.

But the McCain born in Panama thing is all you need to prove the racial aspect.

Taso, I think something you are missing is that Trump has a history of saying extremely overt racist things, along with numerous dog whistles to white nationalists. Given that, his CBC comments didn't happen in a vacuum, and it is perfectly fine not to give Trump the benefit of a doubt and declare what he said to be racist.

Why are you trying so hard to defend Trump from racism charges? Do you dispute that the people he surrounded himself with are not racist?
