[Trump takes students' side in racially charged DC protest controversy]

http://va.topbuzz.com/s/rbxUvkp

Notice how Trump weighs in on this controversy but stayed totally silent on the Steve King issue. Said he wasn't following it and knew nothing about it.....WHICH WE ALL KNOW WAS ANOTHER BOLD FACE LIE. Trump is the White Man's President. A racist bigot to the core. This is a perfect example why people like David Duke love this guy. If you can't see that Donald Trump is a White Supremacist..then you are either dumb or blind.

Not sure why you would quote my post and then not address it in any way.

Peace

That’s scary and not in a good way for either party. It’s like a blank check to allow any Dem in office only because he/she is not Trump.

We don’t need a “not-Trump” in the same way we don’t need a “not-Clinton” or “not-Obama”.

You know, the Republicans do have a primary and can choose a different candidate for president in 2020.

And you wouldn't be allowing "any" Dem. You'd have the one voted in by Democrats.

So, as usual, it will be the Democrat choice vs the Republican choice.

From your posts in the past, I assume you are not a registered Democrat (or registered Republican either, maybe).

So you will have to let us pick the not-Trump candidate unless you live in an open primary state or want to register Democrat for this election.

Agreed. I'm not a Dem, but think they made a huge mistake in 2004 when John Kerry got a minimal lead in early primary voting--everyone was so eager to elect "not-Bush" that they jumped on JK's candidacy without thoroughly looking at who else was available.

They had better not make the same mistake in 2020, if they want to win. (Personally, I think Trump's chances of re-election are at least 50/50.) If they make the election about Trump, then the guy who *is* Trump will have a huge natural advantage.

Plus, of course, the country needs someone who is actively *for* something--someone who's a lot more than just not-Trump. I'm thinking Gillibrand, but who knows.

well, to be fair, those are all US senators and reps etc. - we're not talking some guy of the street.

It is not obvious to me that we do any better by taking some guy from the US Senate or House of Reps rather than taking some guy off the street.

It is to me.

For any job, you need relevant experience.

If I'm going to have heart surgery, I don't want it performed by a plumber. If I need to install new plumbing in my house, I don't want it done by a heart surgeon.

If I'm going to elect a president, I don't want it to be some narcissist whose only experience is running a corrupt family business.

Looks like Trump invited those little MAG@ a$$holes to meet with him.surely he has many words of wisdom to share.

Yeah, trump said he had no business interests in Saudi Arabia, but then bribery isn’t technically a business.

Many of your posts are reasonable. That was not one of them.

1) Heart surgery and POTUS are quite different. Although your analogy is cute. It is irrelevant.

2) You described Trump with your "some narcissist whose only experience is running a corrupt family business." You did not describe "some guy off the street." So again irrelevant.

3) Think of the actions of the GOP senators wrt Trump. Are you quite sure that you would randomly pick one of them rather than randomly pick some guy off the street. Speaking only for myself, I definitely am not so sure.

So, is Sarah Sanders getting paid to not give White House briefings while air traffic controllers are not being paid for actually working?

Sander's gets paid. Because if Trump does not pay his "help" the majority will quit providing toddler daycare for Trump.

I'm definitely sure. The random person off the street can't even name the three branches of government.**

Our current president couldn't name the three elements of the nuclear triad. This is a fact that should scare the bejesus out of you.

If you are going to run the government, you need to understand how it works.

Frankly, I thought you weren't being serious when you said a random guy off the street might do better than a senator. So my post was only half-serious. The fact that you think a random person off the street could do a good job as president astounds me.

** According to a poll in 2017, only 26% of Americans could name all three branches.

Oh yes, we definitely need to get back to the Founding Fathers' original ideals of having the government be entrusted to only the land owning gentry.

I'm not sure why that is relevant to this discussion?

Those dickhead kids were at fault just by showing up at that rally with the racist hats on. If I showed up at a Trump rally full of cheering inbreds wearing a Obama or Hillary shirt.....what you think would happen? I think you know.

The hat is racist because anyone with half a brain knows Make America Great Again really means Make America WHITE Again. When was AmeriKKKKa great? During slavery, during reconstruction, during Jim Crow, during the time cops were spraying water hoses and beating the shittt out of Black folks? Was it the 70s, 80s? Exactly when was Amerikkkka great?

Ummm . . . your post quoted mine without addressing my words in any way. It is this that I did indeed address, as was entirely appropriate.

As to your most recent post I think it is fair to say that you probably need a nap. Or perhaps you need to get laid. Maybe both.

I am sorry if you misplaced your thinking cap today.

Meanwhile, a year ago Trump spent the weekend playing golf in Palm Beach when the Parkland students and a few hundred thousand others were in DC for the March for our Lives.

No, I just misplaced my PIO! decoder ring.

Whether or not the founding fathers wanted government run by the landed gentry has nothing to do with who is fit to run the government today.

So in 2008 Obama’s lack of experience was a negative but in 2016 Trump’s lack of experience is a positive?

Many people do not like politicians and so they want a regular joe or someone with different experience running things, People forgot that politicians come from various backgrounds to include law and business.

The Trump presidency is not that far removed from a Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho presidency.

So the "mystery company" is 100% government-owned. This eliminates both Alfa Bank and VTB. I still think it's a Russian company, given it's represented by Alston & Bird.

I have been asking Republicans that question for several years. When exactly did America become great?
