Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

It goes to the heart if the statement was racist or not. Your response shows your lack of understanding.
Nah just that you are incapable of viewing anything to do with this administration objectively. It is a common malady.

Once you and others here understand the history of racism/slavery against blacks in this country then you can tell me I am incapable to understand. Has there been a bigger injustice in this country?

I'd say America's actions against Native Americans was probably worse, for a number of reasons.
Where does it say that?
The article gives the words Devos said, and then the author's interpretation of it. Without preconceived notions, it's obviously a twist. And the preconceived notions are (at least) largely created by other articles that do the same thing.

It's like I'm talking about a couple of jewish guys who stole money, and I say, "they really lied and cheated," and then I get quoted as saying, "Sguitarist says that Jews are liars and cheaters."

They know it will make the public school structure 10x worse.

That's a bit misleading, isn't it? Yes, school choice takes money away from publi schools (which I assume is what you mean?), but they offer the possibility of new private schools opening up to replace them with better options. Isn't the whole point of school choice to force public schools to either improve to the point where they can compete, or do away with them entirely and let private schools do a better job more efficiently for all students?

That's why I give them credit for many things. You on the other hand try and defend just about everything thing they do.

Say what? Do you have any idea how many died during the slave trade and after?

just wondering, can you see the side of this where what devos said was not related to race or intelligence? Not asking if that's what you think it was, just asking if you can see the comment as non racial.

this is a silly argument. They were both grave injustices. Saying one was worse than the other doesn't change anything about the terrible actions in either.

If you would take a tally of things you give credit for vs things I criticize I would win hands down without it even being close.

Interesting point.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-vs-the-authoritarian-1534360564

Within the United States, the limited available evidence suggests that even those who oppose the President don’t actually believe he is destroying the foundations of American society. If they did, they would surely try to insulate themselves against the consequences of U.S. decline and make very different investment choices than Mr. Trump’s fans. Earlier this year the research firm Spectrem Group conducted a survey of Americans with more than $100,000 in net worth, not including principal residences. The typical asset allocations of Democrats were nearly identical to those of Republicans.

We are talking millions died. Should we just look at the Holocaust as a terrible action on the scale as Native Americans?
