Fair enough. I do think intent is as bad as achievement in this case. Dictators become so with a fully aware group of people behind them. This is happening, and I think people’s reluctance for hyperbole due to fear of ridicule is limiting recognition that it’s progressed beyond waiting for the next election to sort it…

I just read this on the NYT site, and jumped over here. Are you effing kidding me? This is the president of the United States? Just when I think nothing could shock anymore, the vulgarity, the crassness, and violence reach new and more degraded lows. I’m so embarrassed for all of us.

I think nepotism is a problem.

Okay but this is literally the “Not all white people” or “not all men” argument. Maybe it doesn’t represent YOU PERSONALLY, but it represents America as a culture, as a country, and is 10000% a product of our culture, and if we pretend we’re not part of that culture, we’re being complicit.

I don’t really think they’re analogous. Radical Islamists don’t represent Islam because their actions run directly counter to the tenets of Islam and their formation owes much more to post-colonialism than it does to being Muslims.

It’s not like he took over the family business at such a young age because of his brilliance. His father went to jail so Jared had to run it in his absence.

I wish nothing but bad things on her.

They would have to be citizens to vote. Are you saying American citizens are being deported?

Anybody who tries this bullshit, just say, “Until you can tell me where the overwhelming majority of illegal guns in Chicago came from, and what kind of gun control legislation that place has, you can’t talk to me about this.”

He’s such a fucking slimy, weaselly little dipshit who’s so woefully out of his depth. He’s supposed to be some kind of wunderkind who’s going to broker Big! Important! Deals! abroad and he can’t even successfully blackmail a couple of cable news hacks.

In other MSNBC news, they dropped Greta Van Susteren’s show today with no notice (she was there yesterday and gone today). Good riddance.

Almost as sick as I am of the white bullshit “Chicago proves that gun control doesn’t work.”

Ugh, that top photo. Have there ever been two more punch-able faces in one picture?

I’m so sick of the white faux concern over Chicago.

I’m reading TrumpNation, and this behavior sounds consistent with how he’s always been. He’s always been a liar, thin skinned, and desperate to be liked. I just think those flaws are even more glaring now that he is in the White House and is mentally unprepared for the job.

I’ve read a number of stories about his businesses, and they all seem to drive home this idea that for the scale of operations, it’s all just a mom and pop outfit that doesn’t hire outside the family unless they have to. Someone like Jeff Bezos might actually have a decent shot at politicking because he’s got a…

Of course he has always been this way, let us not forget that his earliest political mentor was none other that Roy Cohn, one of the most disgusting human beings that has ever existed.

They were good friends with him when he was making his racist birther attacks on the President and claiming he was too stupid to go to Harvard. Sorry but the more I think about it the more I find them full of shit on that. They didn’t seem to mind it much back then apparently.

Yeah but five years ago was when Trump was going on his racist birther shit. Were they living under a rock then?

The only think I find hard to believe is that the Donald Trump they claim they knew for 10 or so years was not the current guy.
