Trumpite Americans, when will you finally acknowledge your leader is a joke?

    We all know what his motivation is. He’s a piece of shit.
    But sentencing reform doesn’t end at reducing prison population. It’s about reclassifying crimes retroactivity, ensuring that punishment actually ends at some determinable point, etc.

    Telling Trump what he wants to hear is the only qualification that matters. But I'm sure Tuttle is okay with that.

    President Donald Trump decided to replace Joseph Maguire as his top acting intelligence official after Maguire authorized an aide to brief Congress about Russia's 2020 election interference, which enraged the president, according to the Washington Post.

    • Trump reportedly falsely believed that the official who briefed Congress at Maguire's direction had been disloyal by feeding exclusive information about election interference to House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff.
    • During the briefing, the aide told lawmakers Russia is attempting to interfere in the 2020 election to help get Trump reelected, according to The New York Times.
    • Trump replaced Maguire with Richard Grenell, a fierce loyalist who currently serves as the US ambassador to Germany and has no background in intelligence work.

    And spent 20 minutes whining about a FOX segment where they pointed out his poor debate performance didn't stop him winning the nomination. And rage-tweeting that he won every debate handily and "kicked ass!" according to "all the polls" - except, y'know, the ones that actually came from FOX and other media sources not rhyming with TriteFart.

    My social media would probably get me a grilling, but even though I might be the sort of migrant Mulvaney wants as long as I don't have the right to vote in the US, I would think long and fucking hard about a job there. Back in the Obama and even the Bush years? You'd have had to hold me back.

    Right now, though? Much as I might want to escape the toxic atmosphere and negative impacts of Brexit, I don't think running to the nation that's gone full whacko is the answer.

    And I'm white, straight and English-speaking.

    God knows what educated migrants from non-Caucasian backgrounds think about coming to the US now. It got bad enough during the post-9/11 years when people on work visas were advised not to take time to visit family outside the US, in case they weren't allowed back in.

    somehow I think we'll get over the near fatal blow of not having one more liberal coming across the pond. But hey, don't give up! I hear Mexico is selling ladders at half price!

    Mulvaney seems to think less white folk coming to the US is a bad thing. And newsflash, unless they're Israeli, most white folk educated enough to meet the US skills standards are to the left of you politically.

    Of course, you might not be in this hole if you stopped letting the Southern states get away with homeschooling or teaching science as "theory".

    :dayton: racism because he didn't think South Korea should have had the best movie? Who is the guy who wrote this, Tererun? Or maybe there's a simpler explanation: Trump doesn't know shit about movies other than at the superficial pop culture level. He's out of his element and put his foot in his mouth. TDS strikes again I guess.

    So there can't be any racism in the fact Trump was incredulous that South Koreans could make the best film because Trump doesn't know anything about the film other than it comes from South Korea?

    Trump's favorite movie is Bloodsport. The man knows fuck-all about good cinema.

    there could be but doubtful. Of course he's going to assume an "America first!" posture but he's speaking out of ignorance of film and playing to his fan base versus deliberate racism. If a French/Japanese/Ugandan film would have won he would have said the same thing. Granted I've never seen Parasite so I can't say if it's deserving of an award or not. But popular does not equal great and vice versa when it comes to film/music/painting or any art form. I love the shit out of jazz but I'm very much a lone ranger in that regard.

    :facepalm: Well at least it's not a Steven Seagal movie! Anyway I guess Trump is wishing "Ow My Balls" was a full length movie! Fast forward to about 26 seconds for the uninitiated among us.

    That's like your default defense of Trump. That he's a buffoon. "He's not racist, he's just ignorant." "He's not incompetent, he's just out of his element." "He's not an asshole, he's just tone deaf." So in your opinion, Trump constantly says and does stupid shit and it's everybody else's fault for pointing it out? :wtf:

    When you put it that way, oldfella’s defense of Trump sounds a whole lot like if someone were to write a defense of oldfella.

    You are the only one who sees this. Whenever someone refers something that is racist as "ignorant", that's a polite way of saying it's racist.

    Notice that he referred to the last four years of economic growth. You can see how much disdain Republicans have for Obama when they can’t even correctly state we have had 10+ years of economic growth now. Growth that would have been greater if the stimulus plan wasn’t ham-stringed by moderate Republicans loading it up with tax cuts.

    maybe the director is saying Trump is ignorant in regards to art & culture. Why is your opinion of what he really meant more important than mine? Can you read the director's mind? I know I can't but apparently you have special powers! :yes:

    I make plenty, but I'm not interested in a mistress or an elected position. Both these things involve potential (more like certain) drama. I work very hard at keeping a "drama free" home. :soholy:
