    Gloss reacted to Dakine10 in Carson equates slaves to immigrants, social media blasts comment   
    Saying regardless of how someone got here is fine. That is essentially what Obama said. 
     
      Saying people brought here in the hold of a slave ship had the same dreams of optimism for a better future, and visions of happiness and prosperity as let's say you did, is just senseless. People who were ripped away from their families and children, brought to a horrible existence and worked till they died would not have that outlook. It was an absolutely awkward and insensitive way of saying it, and I'm sure Carson did not actually mean it to sound that way, but ultimately it did.
     
       The guy is smart. He should realize he needs a course in public speaking more than anything else.

    if you're so certain russia's got nothing on trump and now you're also certain obama tapped trump - you're going to have to allow for an independent investigation into it all. 
     
    i seriously do not understand why trump supporters aren't taking "investigate all you need to" approach if in fact they're most certain russia wasn't meddling and doesn't have any dirt on trump. especially if they're going to grab the pitchforks whenever trump tweets them to. obama tapped trump? but of course obama did. obama has to release his birth certificate, trump gets a pass on taxes. obama takes vacation, how dare he! - trump takes vacation every weekend at this pay to hang out with prez club..he's restoring america's dignity. this is beyond hypocrisy its just straight up insanity.

    You set the bar for lying very low for Trump and company, even in the face of incontrovertible recorded proof of lying. Yet for Hillary Clinton you needed the smallest wiff of inuendo and you are off to the races.

    It's not about who he talked to, it's about how he responded when asked who he talked to.
     
    He was asked about Russia. He said no. Either his memory is poor or he knowingly lied under oath. He could have easily said "I spoke to the Russian ambassador as part of my current duties in the Senate" or something like that.

    Really? You think Jeff Sessions "forgot" two meetings with the Russian ambassador? Really? Are you a Steve Martin fan? He has a great joke about how many times people allow themselves to get in trouble simply by failing to say two words. Two simple words in the English language. "I forgot." Here's an example: "I forgot armed robbery was illegal."

    I can't understand that saying "deplorables" is the unforgivable but talking about grabbing kitty cats is just fine in the eyes of said deplorables. That along with the many other insults he has slung like dung. But here we go being fixated on deplorables ? For real ?

    Gloss reacted to bcking in Contractors file liens against Trump DC Hotel claiming they were stiffed out of $5M   
    Even by your own description of it, the news is not "fake", it is just "not important" or "not unique to Trump". That is very different. You can complain about the bias of the news, but that doesn't equate to "fake".
     
    It's like how they have been calling all the news about the leaks "fake news", and yet they are all pissing in their pants about the leaks. Clearly they aren't fake, they are just not what you want to see in the news. 
     
    Seriously get over yourself. The stories aren't fake, you just don't like to read them.

    If you were familiar with the construction business you would find that this really isn't unusual. For some strange reason contractors will go back and do more work for someone who owes them money. I think they do it with the hope of getting paid the back balance and for the new work.

    Gloss reacted to Dakine10 in Sweden? who would believe this?   
    English is Trumps's native language. We shouldn't need an interpretation of everything he says.  
     
       I suppose if he would just think before he speaks more often, you're right, there probably would be less cause for criticism. The boneheaded and inflammatory rhetoric is not the left's doing, it's Trumps, and he should be criticized for saying it. If he had it in him to be more of a statesman, it may not be this way, but he made his own bed.

    Donald Trump's disavowal this week of white supremacists who have cheered his election as president hasn't quieted concerns about the movement's impact on his White House or whether more acts of hate will be carried out in his name.
    Members of the self-declared "alt-right" have exulted over the Nov. 8 results with public cries of "Hail Trump!" and reprises of the Nazi salute. The Ku Klux Klan plans to mark Trump's victory with a parade next month in North Carolina. Civil rights advocates have recoiled, citing an uptick in harassment and incidents of hate crimes affecting African-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Muslims, Latinos, gays, lesbians and other minority groups since the vote.
    The president-elect has drawn repeated criticism for being slow to offer his condemnation of white supremacists. His strongest denunciation of the movement has not come voluntarily, only when asked, and he occasionally trafficked in retweets of racist social media posts during his campaign.

    Using taxpayers money for his vacation and at the same time trying to do a dramatic cut to government spending. That's legit.
