So what you’re saying is Trump Steaks failed because this is a man who ruins steak. Well-done is enough of an abomination without adding ketchup to injury.

It is a CYA thing. It’s the same with the use of “allegedly” in crime stories. If you can’t definitively back your shit up you can get yourself and your publication sued.

You do realize that dictatorships generally don’t just pop up overnight?

Lost my shit at freeze peach.

As a political science major I am getting v tired of seeing people who don’t know how the party system has actually worked since the 60's talk about the Democrats and the KKK.

He basically wants all of the black and brown people to just voluntarily leave. I read it as “I am setting this up so that if I get to live out my dreams of committing terrible war crimes I can point back to the peaceful solution I offerered.”

He talks about it like it’s a preference more than an advocacy — “sure it’d be NICE if we could export all of the black and brown people PEACEFULLY but you know that’s an ideal”

I’m just going to go ahead and say “no” to this. Your personal issue with vernacular does not an issue make.

I think my first real ~awakening~ was James Byrd Jr. I live in the Houston area which isn’t terribly far from Vidor/Jasper and I distinctly remember seeing it on the news and being kind of catapulted into this... realization, I guess, that racism in the late 90's was much worse than having to admonish my grandmother…

I think the best we can do is openly and mercilessly reject his anti-press rhetoric, and I think what you’ve done is exactly the way to do it. Keep the ratings up on networks he calls fake news, subscribe to reliable news sources, put our dollar and our Nielsen Ratings to work so that the funding isn’t pulled.…

Really, realistically, he’s going to be hated by closer to 7 billion people.

Well at least now I know why I thought that haha

I mean I did bring up the anus thing so it was as much my fault as anyone’s.

Well that went a step further than I wanted to imagine.

Accurate hashtag.

I thought the SB shooter’s wife was Saudi for some reason... either way, same story as to the effect of the order.

Which would follow with the logic that, perhaps, if it is easier to convince natural citizens to commit atrocities then MAAAAAYBE a ban on immigration from 7 Muslim-Majority countries (that haven’t had nationals involved in terrorist attacks on U.S. Soil from 9/11 to now, mind you) isn’t going to help the problem at…

Or possibly an anus.

I wouldn’t argue that he doesn’t try to obfuscate his narrative, I would argue that he tries but is very, very bad at it.

Don’t forget! In 3 of the last 4 attacks, the perpetrators were US born and raised (except for the SB shooter’s wife and the Chattanooga shooter), not immigrants. 🤗
