Duckduckgo.com tells me it was AOC at South by Southwest. The sources are ... of questionable quality. But it's time to make my weekend beer run....
Racist words are in the dictionary Is the dictionary racist? they’re not strong on party intellectuals https://t.co/YbSzxJJ0Na— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) July 19, 2019
When the job is to betray your own people, you're not going to be able to hire the pick of the litter. Gotta settle for what you can get.
The bar for arguments defending this administration has reached its nadir. The other day I wasted five minutes of my life trying to find a gif of someone taking a sledgehammer to a bar lying on the ground.
If Bill is named in the Epstein suit as a scumbag who was with underage girls, then I will say he's Donnie level sleaze. But as we stand now they are not remotely the same.
And, IF he is, then f*ck him, too. If Bill Clinton was having sex with underage girls he, too, deserves to rot in a jail cell. (Still never paid off a porn star and a Playboy model and then lied about them. Still never bragged about grabbing women by the p*ssy. Etc.)
Would I rather see Bill and The Cheeto each named in the investigation and then jailed for sexual crimes, or neither? Yeah, that's easy. Both. Sorry, Bill, but think of it as a sacrifice for the country.
I get that they can try to go lower. And they can certainly be more cruel. But after reading that, I don't know how it is possible to create a more incoherent defense. Taking monkeys with typewriters to the extreme: if all 325 million of us went on a bender, gorged on a White Castle crave bag, and returned to our respective domiciles to pass out wearing mic'd underwear, I can state three things: 1) none of us will have farted the Gettysburg Address by morning 2) none of us will have farted anything more illogical and meaningless than that Diamond and Silk quote. 3) one of us--perhaps--will have farted out a more coherent defense of Trump.
If they both had sex with underage girls, to hell with the both of them. They deserve to rot in jail. If "only" Bill Clinton had sex with underage girls, to hell with him. He deserves to rot in jail.
Something that is interesting with other politicians - e.g. the Dems Primary candidates, is the media is happy to speculate if their strategies are incorrect, too far left etc. Trump's little explosion last week was a clear fail - yet the media is quite slow to call this out
I think a lot of it is that media are just assuming Trump is teflon at this point and everyone who liked him in 2016 will come back around and vote for him in 2020 regardless of what happens. And honestly, barring a recession, there might be a significant amount of truth to that. If you were on board with Trump until this point, this is simply another fake news media-manufactured scandal to explain away until it blows over.
This is bound to continue to happen... WHITE ALLIES. This woman is an elected state representative. She is the Minority Vice Chair of the Georgia House of Representatives District 39. @Publix says they are “looking into it.” They don’t have tape? #IStandWithErica https://t.co/n12Ts47jN5— Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) July 20, 2019
What if trump simply isn't popular or clever? This reporting blows a hole in the idea that Trump is a political strategist, thinking many steps ahead. He is impulsive. That those impulses are sometimes politically disastrous. https://t.co/trBND67ZKZ— Shane Harris (@shaneharris) July 20, 2019
I got one: If an interpreter interprets Trump’s words to a foreign language, does that mean that the interpreter is racist?
Clearly the interpreter isn’t a good American. I mean, they speak another language - only foreigners and illegals speak other languages!
Yes, and they are probably dealing in illegal drugs and taking advantage of welfare and benefits. Why else would a foreigner come to America?
