Well yeah, he was pulled over in the first place for being a black man in a car near an area where another black man committed a robbery. That just doesn't happen to white people here.

I will 100% agree with you that our culture is racist. That's so obvious that I don't even understand how people argue against it.


I was "pulled over" for being a white man walking around playing pokemon go near an area where another white man had been unwantedly displaying his penis to passing-by females. I wasn't shot, but the incident was irritating and a buzzkill.

Remember, just a month ago he was praising Mueller's integrity and thought the special counsel was a great idea because it would exonerate Trump.

Now all of a sudden, Mueller's a deep state puppet

My favorite part:

New York’s Public Theater, whose staging of “Julius Caesar” features a title character in a telltale orangeish wig, long red tie, and unbuttoned overcoat, has been widely condemned in conservative circles, prompting corporate sponsors Delta Air Lines and Bank of America to withdraw their support. The play, a cautionary tale about the perils of power, has been adapted by various companies over the years to feature title characters reminiscent of Italian strongman Benito Mussolini and former presidents John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama.

But the Trump depiction has hit a nerve, prompting the National Endowment for the Arts to distance itself from the production, and unleashing a powerful stream of invective against the Public, an off-Broadway darling that’s earned recent acclaim for helping to develop “Hamilton.”



Literally already had an Obama depiction that didn't cause this outcry

I mean it sounds like the whole point of the play is that a contemporary leader is used for the play regardless of politics so like... wow.

Disclaimer: I haven't seen the play in any form I'm just judging based off of context.

HOW


The argument is that all these positions are open and yet the government hasn't collapsed so he secretly looks like a genius.

In reality all these open positions means the government is less effective than ever despite still having the exact same budget. The government is doing less on the same money.

From an article I just read:
Brandon Friedman, a former Obama administration official and co-founder of the McPherson Square Group, a strategic communications firm in Washington, pointed to the absence of an ambassador and navy secretary – two officials who would be expected to take a lead in liaising between the US navy, and Japanese and US government officials during the search.

“The USS Fitzgerald might sink off Japan and the US President can’t call our ambassador or our navy secretary because we have neither,” Friedman said.

Have any gay men dropped dead on Trump's doorstep? It might be a bit early to say he's better.

He'll get a raise if anything. Part of Trumps campaigning is to feed every angle of positive support so that wherever people get their news or whatever narrative they follow the news is positive.

It doesn't matter if its contradictory because people take news in small doses, and those that dont and are informed are merely an unimportant minority of people.

In that Chris Wallace clip, Sekulow cites Trump's "Article 1" Constitutional powers

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution

Article One of the United States Constitution establishes the legislative branch of the federal government, the United States Congress. The Congress is a bicameral legislature consisting of a House of Representatives and a Senate.



He clearly meant Article 2

I feel like a competent Constitutuional lawyer doesn't just casually make that error.
