Anti-Trump Hysteria and Silliness

[luthervol]

She’s a ****ing liberal progressive no way she wins dude, Zell Millers daughter says hey. Georgia is a red state

Watch closely, it will be fascinating. Have you seen the 2 morons in the republican runoff? Hysterical, but embarrassing.

 

[volger]

No, it's quite a horrible tie. And that's coming from a straight guy.

Can Stacey Abrams Really Turn Georgia Blue? | FiveThirtyEight

From the article:

The math for Abrams looks (roughly) like this:

Win 90 percent of the nonwhite vote. (That’s doable in part because the vast majority of that electorate is black voters.)
Make sure nonwhites are 40 percent of the electorate through intense get-out-the-vote efforts. (That’s at least plausible because almost 40 percent of Georgia’s citizen voting-age population is nonwhite.)
Win 25 percent of the white vote. (That’s doable without Abrams being particularly strong in rural areas because a huge part of the Georgia white population is in the Atlanta suburbs.)

Seems doable. Have you seen the two repubs? They're going to spend the next nine weeks trying to out "I'm a politically incorrect ultra conservative" each other. This will turn off thousands of middle of the road voters. Plus, Trump will do something insanely stupid between now and election day (if he is even still in office.)

That one dude with the gun and the kid and talking about rounding up illegals in his truck makes me cringe.

So in other words, appeal to the racism inherent in the district.

Getting out the white vote is what white supremacists do.

Getting out any other race’s vote is just grassroots canvassing. Don’t get it twisted.

The policy of permanently removing young children from their parents bull s*** isn't going to hold up in our courts. John Kelly's rationale for this is that it is a "deterrent". That isn't good enough to justify such an inhumane practice. It is not the fault of the children that they were brought here illegally.

Exactly. The whole family needs to get sent back.

 

[114VOL]

Yes

It what Trump does when calling on Tennessee

Are you serious?

I promised to start reading for humor first and now I've gotten myself all confused.

I thought that dude's add was made specifically for people like you. What am I missing?

 

[BowlBrother85]

Exactly. The whole family needs to get sent back.

Yes! But at the same time and together as a family! Not separately and perhaps years apart which is want Trump wants to do. That is inhumane and disgusting.

Are you asking if that's what the two republicans are doing? If so, then the answer is absolutely.

Everything. You’re stupid. You miss everything.

It’s their own fault. They need to get sent back or imprisoned ASAP.

 

[BowlBrother85]

It’s their own fault. They need to get sent back or imprisoned ASAP.

It is not the fault of the young children! And it is not a humane practice to separate young children from their parents when sending them back together as a family and at the same time is a viable option (which it is!).

 

[luthervol]

Everything. You’re stupid. You miss everything.

Obviously. The one thing I though I knew with certainty was that you would love that idiot. In fact, the first time I saw his ad my first thought was, "that sounds like something tums would write."

 

[BowlBrother85]

I agree they should be sent back ASAP. Trump wants to do more than that though. He doesn't want to send them back ASAP and together as a family. He wants to remove the children from their parents. He wants to put the parents in prison (which is fine) but then put the young children in foster homes. Once that is done, he wants to send the parents back ASAP but keep the young children in foster homes in the United States for several years and then send them back with no regard whatsoever as to where they came from or who they were with when they were brought here. This basically ensures that they will never see their parents again. That is Trump's goal here. That is gross and unnecessarily inhumane when sending them back together as a family and at the same time is very easily done. John Kelly's only excuse for it? "It is a deterrent."

I am with you on this

It’s the parents fault. They should think of their children. It’s not our responsibility to be more responsible than their parents. They should hate their parents. They’re to blame.

It’s cute that you try and be funny. But you should try harder.

Terrible. Send all the worthless people back at once.

 

[BowlBrother85]

It’s the parents fault. They should think of their children. It’s not our responsibility to be more responsible than their parents. They should hate their parents. They’re to blame.

It is not the fault of the children and they deserve some consideration here. It is very easy to send them all back at once and as a family and that is what should be done here. It should be the responsibility of the United States to be humane whenever possible.
