I just watched an American TV show produced within the last two years. Geeze the politics injection is tedious. Every episode had to have an obvious dig at Trump. How do you American fucks deal with that shit? To be fair the same thing happened under Dubya. Pretty much everyone was making fun of him.

Just in case CFB doesn’t get around to posting .... https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1086428722616586240?s=21 I think that it would be best for everyone to wait for the conclusions of the special counsel investigation, and in the mean time keep the criticism of Trump to the bad ideas and p...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz on why she won't join the Women's March. TL;DR: it's because Sarsour and Mallory are Farrakhan groupies.

It’s been a Cold War since Nov 2016 and a hot war since January. The idea any of this, from both sides, is based on reasonable motivations is ridiculous. It’s a cage fight.

Brive1987 wrote: ↑The Wall fight is an ideological battle using metaphor for bullets. Is not a zero sum debate on a single preferred practical approach.

You're right that it is an ideological battle. Trump wants to sell to his fans that he's "doing something", even if it's something that doesn't make much sense.

First the SPLC, then the DNC have dissociated themselves from the "Women's March" due to Sarsour, Mallory and Perez shilling for the Nation of Islam and general support for antisemitism.

Yet another big failure for the wokes. Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned there.

Bad news for Linda Sarsour and Louis Farrakhan, good news for sanity and integrity: The DNC drops any support for the "Women's March" over concerns about anti-semitism. https://twitter.com/JNS_org/status/1085193517498957824 I'm mildly curious to see whether PZ Myers is going to write anything about ...

Because your moral argument is a straw man. Nobody thinks border fences are inherently immoral, except a small minority of loons, maybe. Indeed the Obama administration built some of those fences.

Have the Democrats provided an FAQ on why perimeter defence is immoral when it incorporates physical obstacles rather than just “best wishes”? I love the smell of straw in the morning. There are already border fences in place, many of which were built during Obama's terms. Trump's "wall" is impract...

Identity politics are ultimately vague, shallow, about signalling one's tribal virtue, and so the PERFECT tool for political grifters. Donald Trump is an excellent example of that.

Isn't Trump's approval pretty similar to a bunch of other Presidents, many of whom went on to have second terms?
