MSNBC Host: ‘Every Single Playbook’ from Trump Suggests Another Holocaust Coming

[lost in melb.]

God forbid if the leader of any civilised western country spoke like him. How did it get to this point?

I don't like her either. So what? Like Hal, I've heard exactly what Trump said, timed the 13-14 second pause on his part when the chant started, and now have heard him say the chant is acceptable. His supporters can sing and dance and wet their pants about this trying to justify his BLATANT* racism , but his words and actions show his true colors.


I'm somewhere between one-quarter and one-half Irish, and if I'd ever need a reminder about how racism effected the wave of Irish immigrants that came here all I need to do is drive the 75 miles or so up to Jim Thorpe, PA and take another tour of the old prison where they hung the Molly Maguires. Shame on our President!


*Like all "sane geniuses" I feel a need to capitalize words to be sure my intended readers understand my messages. How sadly condescending.

I don't get worked up over Trump's tweets, so I guess I don't get it. His tweets have been of almost zero value from the start. I think his strategy all along has been that the one who stays in the news wins, and statistically, he's correct. The media, in its role as sworn enemy of the POTUS (really disturbing) did the exactly wrong thing by flooding every inch of media with repeats of Trump's every letter.

The tweet was dumb. Okay. That's nice.

The chant was dumb. Okay. That's nice.

Has congress done anything this week? Has the President? Because you wouldn't know it from the news coverage who is obsessed with this gotcha game.

I guess if you don't differentiate between "dumb" and "racist", well, that's nice.

Oh please. EVERYTHING is being labeled racist or sexist or whatever -ist you want. If you want to fall into that trap, that's on you. My own mother called me racist for disagreeing with Obama policy decisions. This is not a new tactic by the left to discredit anything they disagree with.

You really think that AOC's rhetoric is more civil than Trump's? Less inflammatory? They are the same animal on the different sides, both media whoring and creating traps for public anger to be be stoked through meaningless sound bites for the sole purpose of staying in the media cycle.

AOC yesterday:

A key part of Trump is allowing neo-nazi's to go unchecked
Trump picks and chooses who he is president to
Trumps policies are solely about ethnicity and racism - it's what he's been thinking about his entire presidency
Trump is lawless
Trump violates human rights
Trump can't conceive immigration that doesn't intentionally torture and hurt innocent people
Trump prefers policies of dehumanization
STILL claimed that people are being forced to drink from toilets

You're in a fantasy land if you think this only cuts one way. And because it is ALL meaningless I choose to ignore it.

I choose to see what they actually DO AND ACCOMPLISH. The media whoring on Twitter etc is by design to get people riled up. I choose not to fall for that trap.

So feel free, but you implying I am ignorant and racist for not screeching every time Trump says or tweets something dumb is on you. That's about your discomfort and misery. That has nothing to do with me.

I acknowledge what you say, RBP. But there should be a difference between the President and fresh congresswoman.

I was always under the impression that ( unlike the Westminster system) the President stood apart from the mess of parliament and gave moral leadership to the country.

That's your impression, but it's not necessarily true. Trump's not the first 'boorish' President this country has elected.

I much prefer a statesman as President. I like the formalities and traditions of the office. I appreciate that for 243 years we have maintained a peaceful exchange of power with virtually the same rituals of that transfer.

Having said that, we elected who we elected and knew what we were getting. But no, the POTUS should not be on Twitter. Period. I am not justifying anything because I don't give a fuck about the gotcha faux moral indignation from any of these media whores.

Please find one post here where I've justified any of "the Squad's" rhetoric. In fact, I believe I've commented on several occasions that AOC is the Left's version of Trump. Both pander to their respective constituencies. The difference is I can't vote for or against AOC. Unless Hillary runs against him again, I won't be voting a second time for Trump. You may call that my "discomfort and misery" if you wish. If you don't specifically find enabling an openly racist chant offensive, I believe that while you're not explicitly condoning racism, you're tolerating it. Sorry if I struck a nerve.


Prior to Trump, I often expressed my opinion here that Obama and his "wingman" Holder headed the most racist Administration in our country's history. And, like most of us here, I deeply distrust the mainstream media.

In view of his impressive economic accomplishments (aside from what I view to be an ill-advised trade war with China) it is idiotic to assert that all of Trump's White supporters are racist, but I feel that all avowed White racists support Trump and his open embrace of them goes beyond the old politics makes strange bedfellows claptrap.

Michael Goodwin, a columnist for the New York Post who is an avid Trump supporter, perhaps put it best when he recently suggested that Trump would be much better off swallowing a little crow now about his remarks than possibly having the whole bird shoved down his throat later.

Yeah me too. I did refer to that group of dem-chicks as the four horsewomen of the apocalypse in another thread, and here I feel that Trump (or his rally supporters) are just giving them fodder with interactions like this. You may be able to overlook/ignore the fallout, but agreeing with yours and Lance's view he needs to step back on both comments in person and social media. He's unifying and giving those women credibility because the huge buzzword issues in 2019 are inclusion and racism. People tend to overlook good policy and budget concerns when he keeps hitting these hot button topics and putting himself in a bad light.

I think most of us agree he's a bull in a China Shop (see what I did there..) with social media and media in general and that's all I'm saying when I joke that he needs a little mustache to help him with these comments Or more simply put...some of us can't ignore the overt comments he makes because they lack tact and self control considering his position. I don't consider him the second coming of Adolph.

I had to get a ghetto haircut this morning at Superstore and it turned out pretty well for a discount cut.

Guy was Chinese and came over from Hong Kong. I guess back there he had a really trendy boutique for men before they became trendy. Now he has an old school barber pole in a grocery store.

And what do I say after paying him? Thanks dude, I feel MUCH taller now! (guy was about 4'10" )
