You are saying he only called select BLACKS stupid.  No others?

This is where you go astray.
I did not say that.  I said, I think in his mindless and toddler level need to insult prominent people who don't like him he reaches for stupid and synonyms for it for African Americans often enough to justify the opinion he traffics in racist stereotypes.

By the way, if Ms Waters were green or blue or shocking pink, she'd have acted stupidly.

You likely agree.

I can’t think of one thing she’s done stupidly.

I do love watching Auntie Maxine do smart things that make bitch ass crackers cry. It gives me an itchy donation finger every time.

Don Jr. should be wearing Manafort Orange by the election, along with Paulie Numbnuts himself. The dotard will be sent to his long home in 2019, courtesy of a far more representative congress.

Nobody said it, but that doesn't mean you didn't hear it.

Trump treats all races the same - yet is a racist?

No, he doesn't treat all races the same, dolt.

He was never found guilty of discrimination in housing for whites, for example.

His besmirching of Hispanics is not something any Europeans have heard directed at their residents.

His attacks on "shithole" countries was narrowly defined and purely racist.

Your defense of him and denial of his racist conduct and verbiage has you painting yourself with the same brush. It's like listening to a Holocaust denier.

And your claim that he says the same things to everybody are unsupported thus far. But what else is new?

Shame? Humility? That’s for other people. Apologize? Never, ever! That would be showing weakness, and he is never weak. That’s for losers….

It's probably a "Nuclear Option" but the Congress should institute a policy thatsays that before any law can be passed, there needs to be an "Economic Impact Statement" done which shows a clear and direct pathway for a net betterment of the economic environment as a result of the law.

This statement must include the number of jobs lost versus the number of jobs maintained and/or created.

It must include the costs of remediating the physical environment should the (de)regulation prove harmful to the public health and or safety. Versus the short term benefit of the (de)regulation.


The policy is retroactive, meaning that all existing laws must be made to be compliant with the new policy. If that means that the government has to work hard to get caught up on their work, well, welcome to the real world! There is no time for grilling a public servant for doing his job or wasting million$ to demonize a member of the other party so as to make the pathway to power easier for one's own party.

Similarly, the Democrats ought to demand an "environmental Impact Statement" before any legislation regarding the wildlife preservation and endangered species act can be voted on.

Zme:  doesn't the CBO already do economic impact statements?  I don't think there's any kind of information gathering or analysis that Congress is not perfectly capable of ignoring.

In that poll (top of page), I have to ask, whoever voted "Other," how did you arrive at that choice?  Either we trim the forums, or we don't, or you're not sure.  You chose none of those options.  So, somewhere, beyond trinary logic, there must some other course of action?  Add MORE forums?  Fill Josh's house with stuffed animals?  We all join the French foreign legion and forget everything?

Probably some poster with a sarcastic bent, who wondered why that option even existed, for precisely the reason you identify. Not that I have personal knowledge, necessarily....

No, he doesn't treat all races the same, dolt.



eaaaaasy now...

How about we stick to what the current issue is - Trump's verbal (and tweeting) treatment of others since he started this segment of his life.

Now - has he lashed out at some white folk?
