Is that even possible at this point? If on his first day he declared war on Belgium, changed the names of each of the days of the week to a variation of his name and started buggering a spaniel on the inaugaration stage, would anyone even raise more than an eyebrow?
 
Someone really said Jesse Jackson did not have a reputation as an anti-Semite? Does Louis Farrakhan also not have a reputation as an anti-Semite?

Gen. Kelly to head Homeland Security.

For a guy who thought he knew more than our best military minds...that's the 3rd military appointment.

I think Gen. Kelly is a good pick - he'll be tough but unlike bastard politicians, he'll make decisions for the right reasons.

I said it before the election, if he wins he will be pictured in a military uniform with mirrored aviator sunglasses on before the end of 2018.

Some of the conjecture from the Trump fanbase about Air Force One is just hilariously stupid. The capabilities of these two aircraft are incredible and they are there for a reason. The idea that Trump is going to come in and make the military procurement and R&D process more efficient, is also wonderfully laughable.



Supporting someone just because they won (not by every measure, as he lost the popular vote), and did so on a platform of hate, misinformation, lies, intolerance, and with a history of alleged sexual assault, would be to sell out your soul. At least, this is how I am sure most people feel. As someone who lives within, applauds, and is married into, a multi-cultural world; there is nothing that could abhor me more than supporting a main stream, misogynistic, bigot like Donald Trump. He will never be my President. The fact he got voted in, tells us two things about the electorate (1) There is a lot of closet racism and misogyny out there, even more than we were aware of, and (2) People are incredibly, fecking stupid. The vast majority of people who voted for Trump has voted against their own self interests, have no concept that 95% of his facts are just made up lies or exaggerations, and are completely oblivious to the potential consequences domestically and internationally, of having this clown in office.

So to be frank, the more people that stand up and make it as difficult as possible for this man to execute his agenda, the better. To do otherwise is to say you are ok with hate, with racism, to sexual violence against women, and to perpetuate the hugely damaging myths that globally significant phenomena like climate change, don't exist. I have a daughter. She's biracial too. I want her to grow up in a world where she isn't discriminated against because of her colour, is free to choose what to so with her own body, is seen as an equal to any man, is free to pursue whichever sexual preference she desires, and has clean air to breathe.

feck Donald Trump, and feck anyone who supports him.

Be like when the US had to use it's old embassy in Moscow for classified information because the new embassy was so riddled with listening devices (placed by the Soviet contractors with aid of the ever so friendly KGB). I mean what could go wrong letting the Russians build the new Air Force one?

Is that true?

People talked a lot less and very differently about sex in the Victorian Age than they do today. But what did they think?

Of course it's true. What people say directly reflects their underlying attititudes. In fact there's a school of thought that the words that pass our lips actually shape our underlying cognitive processes.

Neuropsychological semantics aside, you're out of your fecking mind if you're seriously trying to argue that racist thoughts and ideas (never mind behaviours) are less prevalent amongst people born in the recent past than they were in previous generations.

Naah, lynchings and the struggle for civil rights was because poor whites were concerned about economic issues.

They were mostly about economics.

Power, control, ownership and money.

Hatred did not come into it, this is a new phenomenon.

Probably stemming from fear of change and guilt.

So to clarify, lynchings weren't hateful then?
 
Not allowing interracial coupling? Nah, not racists, never racist. 3/5th of a vote? Come on, totally not racists. Literally arguing that black people are an inferior race and that god only loves white people? Simple economics!
 
Lynching people because of the colour of their skin is not racist or hateful.

Genuinely speechless.

And states' rights, don't forget good ol' states' rights.
 
Really if you think about it....slavery was a good thing. They got to come to the new world for work and the package on offer wasn't bad...

Free food, clothing and accommodations.
 
- Separate water fountains weren't about hate
- Black people not being allowed into restaurants wasn't about hate
- Jackie Robinson isn't a hero...there was no wall of hate to overcome
- Lynching interracial couples wasn't about hate
- KKK wasn't/isn't about hate

Sure point taken, nothing hateful to see here.

<snip>

This happened weekly for decades and was legal. But I suppose in your mind this is simple economics.
