The Best Thing about Trump

[Agnostic007]

lol...where were you with Obama? Hahaha

Obama pissed me off more than once. I thought he failed to walk the tightrope between acknowledging there are real instances of social injustice and racial imbalance, with acknowledging not all complaints are equal or valid and L.E. should not be villanized over a handful of bad judgements and sometimes criminal behavior. But where Obama dropped the ball, Trump obliterates any semblance of moving forward as a nation verses divisive and often times adversarial attitudes and comments.
Excellent question Coach

He claimed a judge was biased because “he’s a Mexican”

In May, Trump implied that Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over a class action against the for-profit Trump University, could not fairly hear the case because of his Mexican heritage.
“He’s a Mexican,” Trump told CNN of Curiel. “We’re building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings — rulings that people can’t even believe.”
Curiel, it should be noted, is an American citizen who was born in Indiana. And as a prosecutor in the late 1990s, he went after Mexican drug cartels, making him a target for assassination by a Tijuana drug lord.
Even members of Trump’s own party slammed the racist remarks.
“Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a reaction to Trump’s comments

He questioned whether President Obama was born in the United States
Long before calling Mexican immigrants “criminals” and “rapists,” Trump was a leading proponent of “birtherism,” the racist conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and is thus an illegitimate president. Trump claimed in 2011 to have sent people to Hawaii to investigate whether Obama was really born there. He insisted at the time that the researchers “cannot believe what they are finding.”

In 1993, when Trump wanted to open a casino in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that would compete with one owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Nation, a local Native American tribe, he told the House subcommittee on Native American Affairs that “they don’t look like Indians to me... They don’t look like Indians to Indians.”

In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in four New York City-area newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty in New York and the expansion of police authority in response to the infamous case of a woman who was beaten and raped while jogging in Manhattan’s Central Park.
“They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes,” Trump wrote, referring to the Central Park attackers and other violent criminals. “I want to hate these murderers and I always will.”
The public outrage over the Central Park jogger rape, at a time when the city was struggling with high crime, led to the wrongful conviction of five teenagers of color known as the Central Park Five.
The men’s convictions were overturned in 2002, after they’d already spent years in prison, when DNA evidence showed they did not commit the crime. Today, their case is considered a cautionary tale about a politicized criminal justice process.
Trump, however, still thinks the men are guilty.

Trump’s racial incitement has already inspired hate crimes. Two brothers arrested in Boston last summer for beating up a homeless Latino man cited Trump’s anti-immigrant message when explaining why they did it.  
“Donald Trump was right ― all these illegals need to be deported,” one of the men reportedly told police officers.
Trump did not even bother to distance himself from them. Instead, he suggested that the men were well-intentioned and had simply gotten carried away.
“I will say that people who are following me are very passionate,” Trump said. “They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.”

Prior to Trump's involvement in gambling, his real estate organization was subject to a crackdown by the US government for failing to comply with fair housing laws governing applications for apartments by minorities. Trump answered with a countersuit in which his lawyer likened the feds to the "Gestapo" and "storm troopers."
The countersuit was dismissed by the judge in the case. In the end, Trump settled the case by agreeing to comply with the law and without admitting wrongdoing.

The dilemma is, bigots will read the above and fail to recognize the bigotry.   

So you're mad that he's honest and blunt?

Or someone will read it, realize it's absurd, and dismiss it as the incredibly misleading and partisan nonsense that it is.

LOL -  a list of actual events are "misleading and partisan"

Anyone want to guess who said this and who the speaker was referring to?

I'm guessing Trump against the "Mexican" judge.... not sure who said it but it is spot on.

correct and the quote is from Paul Ryan

or as Bum and other Trumptards would call it  "incredibly misleading and partisan nonsense"

[Coach is Back!]

So if you call a Mexican a Mexican it’s racist? Lmao

[Agnostic007]

So if you call a Mexican a Mexican it’s racist? Lmao

No, and this is important so pay attention, if you say that because a Judge is Mexican, they can't come to an unbiased verdict, it's racist.. see the difference?

[Agnostic007]

Nah, didn't think you would.. because...

[The Scott]

and by "best" I mean the thing I enjoy the most

is how everyone who defends him has to keep lowering their own personal standards

Pfffft.  No one plays moral limbo like Libtardians.  How low will they go?  Just when you think they can't get under the bar they break out the shovels and start digging. 

[Straw Man]

yep

Repubs have to keep digging lower to defend Trump

or if you prefer going out on a limb to defend him

farther and farther out and either Trump cuts off the limb or their lie is so weak that it just collapses

[The Scott]

And here we see an example of the Libtardian playing Moral Twister.  They can only use their left hand or left foot and by their very stupid nature, can only place them on blue markers.  

Conservatives  use both legs because they understand that in order to have balance, you have to be standing firmly on both legs and in order to better help someone out of the gutter of welfare, you have to use both arms to pull them up and help them to get a job by first stimulating the growth of the economy so that there are jobs in the USA.

Run along now, scarecrow boy.  You need to go back to the shallow end of the gene pool.  Being a libtard, you don't need water wings because you're all floaters.  Drain the swamp and flush the floaters.

Republicans attempting to defend Trump and his lies keep changing their story

why is that ?

Hmm... I think we both have agreed, conservatives and liberals are untrustworthy. What this means is your beliefs don't carry any less weight (that's good) or any more weight than the liberal (that's life)

defending Trump is precarious because you never know what he is going to say next while you are defending him on his last outburst

[The Scott]

I don't worry much about that.  I have long grown weary of men in power without the balls to stand up for America and Americans.  Not hyphenated Americans.  I owe no other country my allegiance. I am an American.   It is what it is as well as what we make of it.  Too many people now are just looking to be offended at the most ridiculous  and petty things.  Fakers.  If they want to be offended they should look in the mirror.

Goodnight, brother!  Tired...Whew!

lol...where were you with Obama? Hahaha

"if i had a son... he would look just like him (tears coming down cheek, looking down in sadness)"

How so? I seriously think any case you were ever involved in needs to be reviewed, you've got some sort of fucked up brain function.

Seriously? He thinks a judge, born and raised in America, can't be objective because he is Mexican and you don't see a problem with that? Wonder  why that is?

[chaos]

I think you have minimal knowledge, contact and experience with minorities and quite honestly I question anything about your supposed past.

so you are racist... I understand why you saw no red flag in that obvious racist comment

Does said Judge hold allegiance to Mexico or to the United States?  If the former, fuck 'em.   I don't hyphenate my nationality and find any that do so to be at the least, disingenuous.  I am American.  Not white American, not black American, not Mexican-American, not Irish-American, not anything but American.

My allegiance is to our nation.  The flag may be red, white and blue but like the people that make up our country it's not the color that matters but the content.  To betray your nation by holding an allegiance to another is disgusting especially so if you've left some shithole to come to the USA and still hold fast to what is essentially a steaming, coiled, toilet cobra of a 5th world.  If it is so precious to these people, why then did they ever leave and take an oath of citizenship elsewhere?

FTN.

So again is the Judge American or Mexican?  Where does his allegiance lie or did he just lie about everything to get where he's at. People do that you know. Regardless of the shade of their skin they will temporarily shed the truth to lie for personal gain.

The judge was born in INDIANA and is every bit an American as YOU or ME
