I understand and I don’t mean to be curt to you, and Todd can obviously raise his child as he sees fit, but I find this constant call for civility to be actively harmful. Polite discourse isn’t going to convince trump, sessions and the like to treat me like a basic human being.

YES. This reminds me of what Noam Chomsky said about Holocaust deniers - basically that we’re lowering ourselves by even engaging in debate with them.

I did read it. I was hoping to illustrate that for a rich, white man like chuck Todd it’s easy to preach about civility but when someone is fundamentally trying to deny my personhood than I don’t owe them my respect.

to be fair, Chuck Todd is a hack

Exactly. This shit ISN’T FUCKING HELPING, CHUCK TODD. This is what Trumpo wants.

At this point I cannot engage with 40% of the country, if I try I am going to lose it. 

What people do not understand about this administration is that you cannot engage with people or respect people that act in bad faith. I think some intellectuals think that you can just peacefully engage a person and change their minds.

Everyone is Washington knows that the “leaks” from the Trump administration are coming from Donald Fucking Trump as he sits on the phone with a reporter nearly every night to tout his own accomplishments and tell them how it’s everyone else’s fault.

...no mention of Deputy Scot Peterson, the armed school officer who lingered outside in safety during the mass shooting...

These kids are my heroes.

But Dwayne Wade showed up today, sat down with a group of students, discussed gun violence and gun reform, and pledged to continue supporting them. He’s also been wearing the name of one of the victims, Joaquin Oliver, on his sneakers and dedicated the season to him (he was a huge D Wade fan and was buried in his…

Man, if you follow those kids on Twitter you could see that they were having none of her BS. I am loving watching them stand up.

“Not only can you bang hookers, Mr. President. But for far less than $130,000.”

The only thing violent games taught me was that I love killing Nazis

Loyalty is reciprocated. How the fuck someone can live to be 70 and not learn that is beyond me.

whatever, but NRATV is totally fine and violent and horror movies are fine too.

“More teens died in swimming pools, so let’s ban those too...”

I think it’s because Trump’s friends got upset by the trailer for the game about killing Nazis because they’re evil. The company was asked for a statement because it upset people and they reiterated - yes we think Nazis are evil. America everyone. (Strong language CGI blood, violence etc)

This must be a hard one for Trump and his NRA friends.

No shit. Talk about sticking one to your most vocal base. The venn diagram of r/the_donald and r/KotakuInAction on Reddit is just a big blue circle.
