I’ve met those people and their response is always “Yes, but MY ancestors adapted/learned the language/didn’t try to change Canada”. I’m sure their second generation was fluent in English and became more attuned to Canadian culture than their own original one, but I very much doubt the first generation was. It’s the…

Yeah, I have a friend who was born in Iran, immigrated to Canada at 5. She’s atheist but was raised in a Muslim household so Trump would probably classify her as “Muslim”. Her white husband’s parents who live in Ohio voted for Trump despite their son begging them not to because it would mean his wife and their future…

Oh yeah I remember reading the Emily of New Moon books and there’s a chapter where a Japanese Prince tries to woo her and the family makes all kinds of disgusting anti Asian remarks. As an Asian girl who grew up loving L.M. Montgomery that was a bit of a wake up.

Yup, I have a coworker Bernie bro (identifies as “progressive” of course) who is constantly repeating this mantra. “The Democrats have left the white working class behind in favour of identity politics. They need to move away from identity politics and start catering to the white working class men who feel that…

We know Russia has a shit ton of incriminating info on the GOP because they hacked the RNC and DNC but only released the DNC (which also explains why the GOP has been completely spineless). If the GOP ever impeaches him (I’m not holding my breath) I’d expect we see WikiLeaks release a shit ton of compromising info on…

Oh yeah, the GOP is completely spineless against the whole Russian scandal as long as they can get their tax cuts through. I was talking about the general public where the scandal hasn’t caught on the same way Lewinsky or the Watergate scandal has.

He still thinks he’s in campaign mode, hence the rallies and constantly attacking Hillary. He has no idea how to govern.

For McConnell to say with a straight fucking face that the Democrats are being obstructionist is obscene, given what they did to Merrick Garland.

I think the reason it hasn’t really caught on outside of political nerds is that the scandal is hard to boil down into one sentence. Lewinsky was Bill Clinton getting a BJ in the Oval Office, Watergate was the President concealing a break in. The Russian scandal involves a lot of connections and conversations between…

And it’s also a self-defeating prophecy. How on earth do Asian-Americans become big names if they are never given the chance to prove themselves in a starring lead role?

And that he played beer pong in college. So...he went to a college frat party at some point like 99.99% of people who go to college?

Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about. A Reichstag fire or 9-11 like event that he then uses to whip up patriotic support and everyone galvanizes around “the leader”. Which he will then also use to gloat about how he was right about the Muslim ban and then ride the political capital to actually ban Muslims.

Any charges would have to be approved by Jeff Sessions AG, wouldn’t they? He’s Trump’s puppet through and through. He’d never approve charges.

He still has the support of the Republican base (he has about a 90% approval rating with Republicans currently) - way higher than most Republicans in Congress. If they turned on him, his base would primary them. Until he starts dropping in popularity with the Republican base (like below 50%) the GOP isn’t going to…

““Remember, the federal government is 2-plus million people. We can’t investigate everything all the time.”

““Remember, the federal government is 2-plus million people. We can’t investigate everything all the time.”

They’ve always hated him, since before he became the nominee. That didn’t stop them from rolling over for him ever since he became President, even after a bunch of them swore they never would after the Access Hollywood tape. They confirmed every one of his nominees. Now they’re trying to deflect from the Russia…

It’s a cult. In this day and age, they can be stuck in their bubble of FOX news and Brietbart which pump out propaganda every day on how he’s the greatest President ever. They’re not listening to CNN or reading Washington Post or NY Times. When Nixon was around there were only like three mainstream news sources, so if…

Exactly. He’s more popular with GOP Voters than most of the Congressmen in the House. They’re not touching him while he still has his popularity with the base. People are being way too optimistic the GOP will do the right thing. What have they done in the last two months that indicates they care about doing the right…

Their base doesn’t care if the evidence is “clear”. We live in a post-fact era. If overwhelming evidence came out that Trump colluded with Russia to swing the election in his favour, Trump would just declare it fake news and FOX and Brietbart would go along with it, saying that this is a Deep State coup. And his base…
