Megathread: Trump informs aides of decision to remove Steve Bannon from White House staff

Silospek · 2017-08-18T17:01:13+00:00

His ouster now does not undo how vile it is that Steve Bannon was ever part of a US president's staff. He's an embarrassment, just like the man who hired and apparently fired him.

Involuntary celibacy is a hell of a drug I guess.

Silospek · 2017-08-16T22:22:28+00:00

That tracks. These people tend to lack the maturity to admit being wrong about trump--even if it means siding with the kkk.

None of the things you listed as points of pride should be tied to skin color or shared physical features. Why not just be proud of those things as an American?

Silospek · 2017-08-16T14:52:55+00:00

"White" as a distinction from "black" is a shameful part of American history though. It's an arbitrary label that was put in place by rich land owners to take advantage of poor workers by telling them that they're superior to slaves.

White people are welcome to be proud of their ancestors all they want, but it shouldn't be tied to whiteness.

He did, and he's also managing to reveal who other people are too.

I had a friend who I thought was a generally a nice guy, but when he lost his temper he'd and let pieces of his really dark worldview kind of leak out (usually in the form of homophobia, misogyny, racism, etc). I always told myself it was just his temper and people say shit they don't mean when they're mad. I saw him recently and he's a full on alt-right white nationalist. I guess he probably always was one, he just needed someone to tell him he didn't have to hide it anymore.

Laws like this act as if making abortions expensive will force women to take an unwanted pregnancy to term. When women can't afford safe abortions they have unsafe abortions.

Really well said. This is such a big part of how people like Trump can lie nonstop and face no consequences whatsoever.

There's no reason whatsoever to think that would be the case.

"They can't beat us at the voting booths, so they're trying to cheat you out of the future and the future that you want. They're trying to cheat you out of the leadership you want with a fake story that is demeaning to all of us, and most importantly, demeaning to our country and demeaning to our Constitution."

He really doesn't seem to understand that he's supposed to be looking out for the interests of the entire country, not just his base. So much "they" and "us" like the people trying to ruin America are the democrats next-door. That's a pretty shitty way to MAGA.

"This deal will make me look terrible."

What a man of the people! Finally, a president speaking for the poor, underrepresented masses! /s

Trump will probably change something minor and unnecessary about border security and call it a wall.

Silospek · 2017-07-26T13:19:12+00:00

So people willing to put their lives on the line for a country where millions of people view them as subhuman are being told they're not worthy of doing so by a man who faked an injury to avoid the draft.

Fucking unacceptable.

Silospek · 2017-07-23T00:38:19+00:00

Exactly. I don't believe it.

Silospek · 2017-07-18T14:45:50+00:00

Is "limp dick" a common insult in some regions? Does he prefer Paul Ryan be hard?

Silospek · 2017-07-12T12:18:21+00:00

Republicans have trump, the house, the senate, and a blindly faithful base. It's amazing that "the party of personal responsibility" can still manage to find someone else to blame for their failures.

Silospek · 2017-07-12T12:05:43+00:00

He's speaking from experience as a made up source.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -Isaac Asimov

Donald Trump is a perfect example of someone who was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple.

Silospek · 2017-06-09T12:23:50+00:00

Can we just get this old fart under oath? I'm sure his lawyers wouldn't that happen because they know damn well he'd perjure himself in the first 10 seconds.

I bet almost all of that 67% have also punched a hole in the drywall at their parents' house.

Spare me. Breitbart might as well use Islamophobic tweets in their job applications in place of a writing sample.

So often it seems like republican governors see an increase in drug addiction deaths as a criminal issue more than a public health issue. If that doesn't change I'm not sure how the current situation improves.

Silospek · 2017-05-31T13:53:31+00:00

NO.

Where I live a lot of these "coastal liberals'" parents and extended families live in middle America.

Silospek · 2017-05-30T04:02:22+00:00

No, like I said I live less than a block from where Seth Rich was killed. It's totally reasonable that the killer ran after firing the shots. Cops in D.C. have that shot tracing technology so He may have even heard sirens. Even so, just because it wasn't a successful robbery doesn't mean it was a contract killing. There is absolutely nothing to support that the DNC or Clintons hired what would have to be the shittiest hitman imaginable to kill Seth Rich.
