The debate was spur of the moment, thinking on his feet with no time to apply a coating of bullshit to his viewpoints. Here he had time to prepare and cover the nastier parts of his views with the appropriate doublespeak.

Stupid, ignorant, and disgustingly prejudiced.

This is really where I am sitting with the whole thing. He can clarify all he wants, but the fact is he demonstrated a lot of racist ideas. You can try and soften their impact but that is him just talking around what he said. He blatently said black people are more criminal across socioeconomic levels and when…

“Discrimination certainly exists but I do believe it goes all ways,” he said. As evidence of this, Jafari pointed to a sketch by Samantha Bee, where she jokingly blames white people for Trump’s election. “I suppose you could guess the reaction if Samantha Bee said black people ruined America for voting overwhelmingly…

Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.

My late grandparents survived the Holocaust, so the fact that stories like this are still happening today is surreal if not entirely surprising. But I must admit I find the handwringing over whether or not it’s OK to punch Nazis to be kinda sickening. Dude believes that all non-whites should be removed from America in…

To be fair...Trump is has earned special treatment and sometimes we laugh so we don’t cry

Our national nightmare of peace and prosperity are finally at an end!

and that he will govern like a rational human.

Climate Change is a global problem. We are all screwed unless we do something about it, as a species.

Why would a blog about science be pro-science? I think you answered your own question there.

Because he’s the president, and unfortunately the ridiculous things he says matter.

...maybe don’t frequent a left-leaning gadget blog...?

Why bother reporting on anything that Donald Trump has said? Most of it is incomprehensible word salad, and the few substantive things he says will either be a) “clarified” by his underlings or b) denied within a week. Nothing he says actually means anything; it’s not worth bothering to hear or read in the first…

Alan Moore must be rolling in his grave.
