I don’t see anything racist about his post. It’s not racist to observe that there are a lot of people of one race in a place.

Wait, it’s considered racist to observe that a city has a large Asian population? Because I’ve been to Vancouver, and it does. So do San Francisco and Portland.

This was exactly the tack some of the Republican Senators were taking. Rubio in particular, I think.Trying to draw a line between the President saying “I hope you can make this go away,” and “Make it go away.” Like when your local mafioso comes by and says “I hope I don’t have to wreck this nice shop you’ve got here.” It’s not a threat, just a heartfelt wish!

I keep noticing that Team Trump is so insistent on repeating that “Comey said Trump was not being investigated”, except that’s not really the issue, the issue is whether Trump interfered with an investigation. It just sounds like Trump is giving away that he knows he’s at the center of the investigation, that something may eventually lead to him. The fact that he got Comey to say “you are not the subject of the investigation” is not some kind of Get Out Of Jail Free card he can use here.

If a certain racial balance is put forward as a possible deterrent… it seems a little…

Who did that now? Because I was under the impression that my joke was about language.

That’s interesting – I don’t remember seeing anything worse than this current situation in my previous sixty years. I’m not sure how relevant the years before that might be to the present day.
So nothing in my experience or my reading of history indicates that “we’ve seen way worse.” And I don’t believe “we’ll get through it.”
As far as I can tell, the United States as a nation of laws is dead. Wealthy criminals are running the country. I don’t see them getting any poorer, and I don’t seem them giving this place back to us spontaneously.
I’m fairly certain we’re screwed. I don’t know what to do about it. I guess I’ll just try to live my life the best I can until they nuke us or they price healthcare out of my range.

Well, for starters, there was this thing called the Civil War that literally ripped the country in two…[quote=“Brian_Shock, post:53, topic:102355”]

That is in no way true. I’m afraid your hyperbole is showing.
Here’s the thing: Trump is functionally incompetent as President. That doesn’t mean that in his first 100 days he has literally destroyed the country already. It means he doesn’t know how to do his job. So far the vast majority of what he’s done is try to undo Obama-era progress via executive orders, which carry very little weight and can be easily undone; he’s been so impatient to “look presidential” that he hasn’t bothered passing any laws via Congress, really. His dismantling of the ACA is the first major thing he may accomplish, and that’s extremely bad, it’s true. But rising healthcare costs over the next few years and a wind-down of Medicare does not equate with destroying the United States as a “nation of laws”.
I believe in 20 years we’ll look back on Trump as a criminal who tried to scam the country, failed, and ended up either impeached or forced to resign after more and more evidence of wrongdoing accumulates.

No offense, but I’m going to have to disagree. I often find replies that are responding to multiple posts confusing. It gets really hard to follow what precisely is being replied to especially when there are replies to that reply. Additionally, I get to read the same reply over and over again if I choose to look at the threaded view.
It was sarcasm.

It is amazing how Trump and his supporters are doing EVERY SINGLE HORRID thing he accuses others of doing.
