The Trump Presidency

[Runnin]

90 year old bust of Lincoln defaced. But have been a slave owner...

He's been unpopular with some for a long time.

Did you throw an egg at Lincoln?

Well, yes. And her constituents can vote her out.

Trump was the one who openly called for a more violent scrum. He longed for it and promoted it time and again on the stump. It would be only fitting if he were the one to receive it. With all of the vile and despicable things he has said and done, he's lucky to still have his head. There was a time, some might say a better time, when people would not have given a rapscallion like T so many chances to prove himself useless.

He's already proven himself to make many decisions that better all americans. You just don't see it that way.

I don't equate the nazi car attack and the spain at all.

Not saying they're not both terrorism (bc I still have no idea how we're defining it)... but one was a planned attack and the other wasn't. Those are different, in my eyes.

Months of planning. Its disgusting that people are pretending as if these acts are on the same footing.

Thats not who defaced the bust in Chicago though.

So why was that done?

[Julio3000]

Who has he been unpopular with?

Libertarians, for one.

Who has he been unpopular with?

I could think of a few reasons he might be unpopular with white nationalists. Lincoln certainly wasnt popular with anyone until Sherman burned down Atlanta.

who cares

like seriously, who cares.

oh no, the red sox team doesn't like their past of a ****ty racist owner and would like to change the name near their park. OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!


had the chance to have Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays on the same team and didn't do it which is still crazy to think about

I care. That may or may not be why I chose to post it.

Obviously, you care, because you chose to comment on it beyond "orange dude".

Do you realize that you can find an unpleasant racial connection in virtually every MLB club's history?

Tell me what you think changing the name of a street that's named after a former owner (who made Boston the last team to integrate) is going to actually accomplish?

And then tell me why it took you 40 ****ing years to figure that out.

Context, kids.

Ho Hum - Another terror attack in Finland.

Must have been a copycat of the White Supremacists.

Yea...it's getting worse.

Hey, maybe we ought to figure out who to exclude from our military next. I'll look for the answer on Twitter.

I don't see where it accomplishes anything. Thought Henry's quote was pretty odd when he talked about how it's a constant reminder to make the organization as multi-cultural as possible. Strange that you would need a street named after a dead owner with a racist past to be reminded of that. I think what will be interesting, though, is to see how many folks get riled up if the city takes him up on his suggestion and renames it after Ortiz.

Thoughts on this?

I think it's bull****. He's not leaving.

I think he'll resign before he's questioned under oath. Schwartz may be wrong but at least his opinion is based on a good bit of experience and knowledge of the man.

How many terrorist attacks have happened in Poland and Hungary?

I don't think he serves a full term. I don't believe there is a chance in hell of that.

He may not, but nothing about him, at least what he's presented in public, suggests he's going to step down for anyone or anything. The minute the Republican leadership demands that he step down, he will break off and form his own party. Mueller would literally have to produce a tape of him saying and ordering stuff. Even then a sizable portion of his base wouldn't believe it. They've already tried to discredit anything and everything about Mueller and anyone who dares criticize Trump. Essentially, it would be up to Congress to kick his ass out. The only way Trump leaves voluntarily is a (spoiler alert) Frank Underwood-style meltdown where he finally just says the hell with this. I think he likes the power way too much.

So... are we using the webster definition of terrorism to define it?

If so, I think we're using it much too broadly.

If there is a different definition I'm not privy to, let me know. I'm listening

I'm curious how you would define it. You raised the issue of the definition after all.
