Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

[basilio]

No this is wrong on further inspection.

Trump changed how he prosecuted the parents and this caused the separation. His own party wouldn't back it and thats why he couldn't get laws through and blamed the dems.

Nice one..Well summarised.

 

[wayneL]

He backed down because the plebs are not putting up with it.

That and it only affect a few "non-profit" prison operators anyway. They don't have that much financial power to lobby so it's alright.

Heard from Seymore Hersh that Trump just lowered the safety standard for baby cots. Why? Wouldn't that put American infants at risk? Mehhh...

No not plebs, just snowflakes and cultural vandals.

BTW, one of my racing clients has moved to New Jersey and wants me to go there too... and godammit, I could gross twice as much as as here, with lower expenses and taxes.

How do ya reckon I'd go as a dryback? You know, open borders an' all that.

Interesting piece.

If branding the political opposition with a nickname is a longstanding tradition, it’s also one that almost inevitably backfires. A group united by an offensive label is still united: it’s only a matter of flipping the name into a self-identifier. “Tory,” and “Whig” are both political party names that rose out of insults. The “Sans-culottes” during the French revolution likewise re-appropriated an insult about their lack of britches into a point of anti-elitist pride. From queers to suffragettes to impressionist painters, terms meant to deride become a catchy point of pride, a snarky acknowledgement of appealing underdog status that galvanizes membership. People who thought Hillary Clinton was referring to them as “deplorable” put it in their Twitter names; women who related when Trump called Clinton a “nasty woman” responded by emblazoning the phrase on their t-shirts. The only way to fight back against an insult that doesn’t mean anything is to reclaim it, to diminish its power by making that identity a point of pride. This is the life cycle of all identity insults, and “snowflake” is already reaching the end of that cycle.

There’s a slogan among Trump protesters that’s become increasingly common on protest signs. “Damn right we’re snowflakes,” the signs read. “And winter is coming.”

That is a particularly interesting article. The extract you copied is on the ball but the rest makes the point about the use of derogative labels as putdowns and a way to dismiss any argument you disagree with.

Umm, like Nazi?
Fascist?
Racist?
White supremacist?
Mysoginist?
Islamophobe?
Homophobe?
Transphobe?
Alt right?
Far right?

Have I left any out?

wait... So the US is over run with "migrants", its borders are porous, no great wall yet etc. But you will somehow earn twice as much there as here in Australia?

Seem refugees doesn't negatively affect certain industry, if any.

I'd have those "cultural vandals" over patriots like Trump and Obama any day.

Oh jeez you missed it Grasshopper.

Obama IS a cultural vandal, along with most of the current iteration of what is regarded as the left.

I'll take Trump and the patriots thanks.

A lot of people on the left might be offended if you grouped them in with Obama. I know I would be.

As to cultural vandals. That kind of depends on the kind of cultural heritage you want to keep doesn't it?

Slavery was American as apple pie about a century ago. Segregation... There are things you just don't want to keep. It doesn't make you a vandal, it move the country forward.

Jesus man, Trump and his admin is destroying American lives, literally, and destroying its image more than any crazed terrorist ever dreamed they could do.

There's the trade war with practically every major economy you care to name.

With China, Trump promised Apple's products will be exempt from the tariffs. Because I supposed Americans can't do without their iPhones... so got to keep that cheap.

You know the old saying about patriots I'm sure ?

Besides which I thought you said you lent to the Left ?

Trump is so far the other way he should be out of site to you.

First lady Melania Trump wore a jacket with the words, "I really don't care, do u?", written on its back as she boarded a flight to a facility housing migrant children separated from their parents.

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-...ld-immigration-detention-centre-texas/9897146

Interesting.

 

[PZ99]

By pulling out of the UN Human Rights Council the US are obligated to pull their troops out of any of those countries as well.

The UN should no longer pay for, or partake in any US hostility.

If the US cops another 911 style attack they are on their own.

Paul Watson nails it

Yea, he nailed it like the Romans nailed Jesus to the cross.

So the "liberals" doesn't care when Obama and the democrats did it, Watson's argument goes, let's not give a shiet now.

That's a good argument to make. War criminals and freaking psychos love that crap.

So... since nobody help the Jews in concentration camps where they were gassed, why are they now all high and mighty about the Palestinians being in concentration camps and starved, bombed, killed slowly.

Nobody cares about slavery before, why the outrage against modern day slavery and exploitation.

anyway, the world as seen through idiots like this is an ugly place.

They can wear anything and it'd still say "we don't give a shiet".

Lol, emotive argument, a fallacy I'm sure has a name.

 

[luutzu]

Lol, emotive argument, a fallacy I'm sure has a name.

How was it emotive?

The dude's entire argument was that... well, "the left" didn't care when Obama/Clinton did it... So why do they care now. They only care because they want power, because Trump did it.

i.e. because they didn't care before and because they fake all these tears, we too shouldn't give a crap.

One of the flaws in that argument, in addition to being morally bankrupt, is strawmaning.

The democrat politicians do not represent "the left". Those who are protesting aren't all democrats or hippies.
