Well Fiddy's ex-bestie Pretty Boy Floyd is supporting Trump. Says no one ever said Trump was racist before he was elected so that's goto be true, nevermind ethnic minorities who couldn't lease his appartments and the innocent Central Park 5 he tried to encourage a lynching against.

To be fair, the knowledge of Trump being racist only became mainstream when he attacked Obama continuously. Before that, you probably had to be a New Yorker in the know.

THIS, while it's all wrong from a humanitarian perspecitve, it's the standard stance of Republican/Right Wing Politics. IE the individual is responsible for theirselves and the state shouldn't have to support them. That's their basic ideological stance. They believe the state shouldn't have to spend the peoples money on poor people and it's the poor people's own fault for their fate.

Trump pretending they're helping when they are just a little bit kind of glosses over any sympathy to those peoples cause. But it's pretty much standard GOP stance.

Thank you for the refresher on Katrina, I'd almost forgotten some of these things.

Thanks, I think Trump's response has been absolutely awful. All I'm saying is don't feel nostalgic for Bush. He may not have shown his contempt for others as openly, and his ego isn't as fragile as Trump, but his decisions were worse (though Trump has 3+4 years to catch up!)

Not just is the US presidency too powerful, it is also unique. In most countries, the head of state (German president, Indian president, British queen) is "above" standard party politics, and is mostly there to smile for the camera and sign things and have fancy dinners. In the US, the head of state is also head of government (chancellor/PM), which means he can do terrible things but is also the symbol of the country, so criticising him is always a little more difficult, and they often get a halo they don't deserve.
Blair is still widely hated but Bush's ratings are back to neutral. Reagan left office with average numbers but now he is a god, both for Dems (Obama praised him in 2008) and obviously his own party.
I think that trend is not a good thing.

The thing about Bush imo isn't that his decisions were worse but that he deffered to others whom he believed held seniority in terms of administrative experience, most of the decisions were taken by Cheeny and Rumsfeld.
 
So many people upset about the NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem are pointing to the sacrifices made by the military for the flag. They are forgetting why they were making the sacrfices in the first place, so that people are free to protest against something they think is unjust. A man has been stripped of his livlihood because he dared to start the protest, yet people have no issues when hate groups display Nazi memorabilia because of "freedom of speech", oh the fecking irony.
 
Politics in this country is in the shitter but thank you America for the entertainment. :lol:
 
Donald Trump is president of the United States. DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Nope, no matter how many times i say it, i can't wrap my head around it.
 
Let this boil your blood. The comments section makes it really boil.

San Juan Mayor to Liberal Media: We Are Getting No Help From Trump – As She Stands In Front of Pallets of Aid

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...tting-no-help-trump-stands-front-pallets-aid/

--If people couldn't see how tragic it would be for the rest of us if Puerto Rico were to become a state, they do now. Just like Katrina did to New Orleans and their mentally crippled, drug-addled welfare-dependent socialist population, Maria tore back the covers and exposed the rot that is Puerto Rican "society". No thanks. We already have all the deadbeats we need---

--Keep dying. Whitey sick of spending his money on you.--

--P.R. is a hotbed of radical left wing political ideas and "revolutionaries>" She is one of those. Might be the right time to get rid of this unproductive lump of Palm trees.--

--All this talk about them not having water. There is flood water all around them! Just boil it for half an hour, cool and drink!! It's not like they don't have any debris to start a bonfire....--

--Sometimes, GOD just kicks our ass because he feels like it. This mayor is just another mad, liberal Hillary supporter trying to make Trump look bad. (YAWN)--

These people are sick.
There were a few asshole Dem supporters celebrating Harvey because of the damage to Republican Texas. AFAIK, they were criticised and were restricted to twitter.
This shit on the other hand...

If these people are real it's difficult to not wish something similar on them. Texas held their hands out asking for federal aid. 80% had no insurance and made a decision to live in a flood risk area. Many of these same people don't want people getting healthcare. It is so infuriating. They need a good slap.
 
The best bit about this latest tweet storm is that he generally only does this when he's genuinely pissed about looking bad. He must be fuming about a variety of issues tonight.
 
So was Strange like really really unpopular and really behind in the polls? Because if he went up MANY *YUUUUGGEEE* points and still somehow got trounced by Roy Moore then he must of really hadn't a chance in hell before Trump got involved, so the begging question is... Why did Trump endorse Strange when no one else did?

I do like the fact he's still banging on about it (all the while, deleting his endorsement posts), he's simultaneously stirring up (Twitter) wars with Alabama/NFL and now Puerto Rico, it's as if he just loves conflict.

He's so unspeakably fecked up, yet it feels like he still has so many core voters, and a paralyzed political system afraid to touch him. fecking pathetic country this tbh. Does anyone actually stand for anything, other than their wallet?

He is the use of capitalism as a morality taken to its natural conclusion.

Just read a short profile of this guy which touts him as the likely post-Trump future of the Republican Party and future presidential candidate. Claims he's basically a smart version of Trump (e.g. he's got an Oxford PHD and a couple of serious academic publications).
