Old news? I definitely ain't a millennial.
Yes, never saw it before (found it here).

and per wikipedia
Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
The majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s

Breaking out generations is not a very useful description for very many purposes.  Implying that someone born in 1961 is likely to have more in common with someone born in 1979  than with someone born in 1960 seems silly.

If it was only that it would be bad enough. The bigger problem is he actually believes the lies he is saying. he trust talk shows and the internet more than our intelligence agencies. Maybe all this childish behavior is a good thing and will keep him away from the important stuff.

You mean like the wall, Muslim-ban, TPP, NAFTA, border tariffs, and Obamacare?

More accurately, it will keep people like you and Jake Tapper from focusing on the important stuff.

True! But maybe the controversial Holocaust statement was meant to distract from the Muslim-ban.

Another hypothesis: The Muslim ban on its own would be an easy way to paint Trump as an islamophobe. When you throw the Holocaust statement into the mix, people become preoccupied with establishing a pattern of bigotry, which is much more difficult.

I heard Tim Kaine try to do that this morning on Face the Nation. He came off sounding like a partisan imbecile, completely discredited.

Or maybe he just can't help saying the wrong things.

Uber CEO challenged for Trump connection after immigrant ban
Vs.
Quote from: Email from Lyft
Defending Our Values

Hi ...,

We created Lyft to be a model for the type of community we want our world to be: diverse, inclusive, and safe.

This weekend, Trump closed the country's borders to refugees, immigrants, and even documented residents from around the world based on their country of origin. Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values. We stand firmly against these actions, and will not be silent on issues that threaten the values of our community.

We know this directly impacts many of our community members, their families, and friends. We stand with you, and are donating $1,000,000 over the next four years to the ACLU to defend our constitution. We ask that you continue to be there for each other - and together, continue proving the power of community.

John & Logan
Lyft Co-Founders

The lumping of Trans with Muslims, Latinos and Blacks is astonishing. People need to get a grip. The media is really blowing this out of proportion.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
