Trump Admin: anti-semitism is really bad, please do NOT hesitate to call us when you catch those dirty no good scoundrel Democrats up to their old anti-semitic tricks.

Why don't all these elected officials do something. All of them have been spoken to by trump and all of them have been befuddled by what the guy said yet all of them just kick the can down the road. It's ridiculous.

Trumpy must be reading this thread, White House just released a statement about the Kansas shooting, calling it racial hatred that has no place in the US.

Trumpy waiting until facts are clear before making statements is not a bad thing. Remember when Obama came out after the Zimmerman shooting, before the facts were solid, when we all thought he was racist because ABC edited the police tape to make it sound like Zimmerman targeted Trayvon because he was black, when in reality he was just answering the dispatchers question about skin color, and he wasn't even sure if he was black? That's the type of **** it'd be good to avoid.

How about you quote Obama and where he called Zimmerman racist. You don't even have the news organization with the edited video correct.

You know that Ron Paul has a 30 year old record in congress that you can judge him by aside from a few newsletters right?

Maybe the best example would be the Patriot Act that more than half of Democrats voted for (and Obama extended).

Former Republican President George W. Bush who, afaik, did not criticize Obama publicly once in 8 years, now publicly criticizing Donald Trump:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/u...T.nav=top-news

Quote:

Although he did not mention Mr. Trump by name, Mr. Bush expressed disapproval of the president’s assertion that “fake news media” organizations are the “enemy of the American people.”

“I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,” Mr. Bush told Matt Lauer, the “Today” host. “We need the media to hold people like me to account. I mean, power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.”

Quote:

Mr. Bush also urged tolerance when asked about Mr. Trump’s efforts to temporarily ban travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries. As president, Mr. Bush made a point of visiting a mosque after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and regularly insisted that the United States was not at war with Islam.

“It’s very important for all of us to recognize one of our great strengths is for people to worship the way they want to or not worship at all,” Mr. Bush said. “I mean the bedrock of our freedom — a bedrock of our freedom is the right to worship freely.”

Wasn't / am not "triggered", I just think it's a good thing to wait for facts to come out before jumping to conclusions, especially where racism is concerned and especially when speaking from a national podium. It's generally always good to wait for facts before jumping to conclusions.

Sort of like how Al Quada is made up of a few well-educated power-hungry sociopaths, and a ton of low-info rubes.

Tell that to Jared Polis, Clovis, and the ACLU.

Oh man how I missed the Tsao "I have no idea what I'm talking about, but you still shouldn't disagree with me because that hurts my special snowflake feelings"

I'm not sure if some transcript has actually been leaked, but Trump mentioning "Fake News" in his SOTU speech is down to 32ct on PredictIt: https://www.predictit.org/Contract/5...-Congress#data

Maybe someone wants to lump on it in case he goes off-script.
