***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Donald Trump was sued, twice, by the DOJ (under a Republican president) for violating the 2nd Civil Rights Act because he was not renting to black people. First time in the 1970s

He settled out of court, in what was seen as a victory for the DOJ

But yeah, this is all in our heads

It's obvious the liberals of this thread have completely given up hope. They're literally acknowledging their candidate is habitual liar and in the same breath championing her. Political Stockholm Syndrome.

What's obvious is that the "We are not Democrats/Hillary" strategy is backfiring as more and more people are jumping off the GOP boat to vote for the "habitual liar."

What do you make of Trump general lack of control and need to address every single little criticism directed toward him?

Are you OK with his disparaging comments about and general contempt for gold star families?

He wants to restrict freedom of the press by expanding libel laws (one of the pillars of democracy is a free press), and he's shown his desire to do so by attacking the media for portraying him as he is. How do you feel about that?
 
Here is where the battle lies the rest of the way; each state & their electoral votes.

Florida (29), Iowa (6), New Hampshire (4), Nevada (6), Pennsylvania (20), Ohio (18), Virginia (13), North Carolina (15) (111 total)

And trump spent his weekend in Connecticut which is decidedly democrat. :lol
 
Trillary is looking at maybe the biggest landslide victory since Regan if things keep trending the way they are. At this juncture her 6.5 point national lead is by far the largest since 2000.

He is messing up so much that Arizona and Georgia are now swing states, and SC and Utah are looking like it will be a close calls for him.
 
funny how people try to defend Trump's racism/sexism/xenophobia. maybe a 3rd grader can plead to his mom that his offensive joke about women wasn't sexist or his joke about blacks wasn't racist.

but we're talking here about a damn adult who may be running the world's most powerful country. and these aren't just tasteless jokes. these are how he's firing up his fans and also the basis for many of his policies.

it's scary to me that there are adults who can't understand this.

apologies if any of you aren't adults yet.

I completely agree that he shouldn't engage in the small, meaningless battles; not because I believe he's morally wrong for doing so, but because it is obviously hurting his public image. He should just shut up and keep it moving, 100% agree.

I am unaware of any disparaging comments / contempt directed towards ALL gold star families. Are you referring to the back-and-forth with the Khan family? ("Why didn't the mother speak?") Another thing I would not have engaged in, but I also don't consider it to be the crime of the century, as the media made it out to be.

I've watched many, many hours of CNN since January and while I still consider it to be my go-to source for news, I also think they're laying it on REALLY thick about Donald Trump. It's one Trump story after another with very little criticism of Hillary. I don't think any objective human being can deny that. As far as expending the libel laws, I would need to see the specific proposed changes to legislation before making a call on that. On the face of it, however, I strongly believe in the freedom of speech in all facets of society.

This might be one of your problems famb
 
^ the issue with the libel thing, which Gry60 didn't mention, is that Trump has said that he will target journalists who were unfavorable to him during his run for president. Think about that. He wants to use his powers as president to punish those in the media who are doing their job. So it's not just about restricting freedom of press. It's about targeting political opponents, something that historically happens in **** countries by **** dictators.

Thankfully, it is now about 80% of the media who is unfavorable to Trump, so I don't see how he can go after everyone if he is president. But **** anyone who says that a trump proposal not being practical means it's ok for him to propose it.

We just believe that the other option is far worse. 
 
Don't know why y'all wasting time on this "new" SN

Obviously someones backup.

Always find it hilarious when SNs from years ago pop up out of the blue with only a handful of posts.

No other topics/discussions you wanted to voice your opinion on until now?

many think that way and that is fair and rational. some of us also think that Hillary will be a competent and productive president who will improve the country. this idea that we've given up hope if we acknowledge that a politician has lied sounds like another #NTextreme.

Honestly, it's like you literally just Googled "Donald Trump sexist quotes" and copy/pasted them. Just because a quote refers to a female (in any context whatsoever), does not automatically make it sexist.

However, please feel free to rebut what I've submitted as my interpretations.

I haven't visited the General forum in years (retired sneakerhead), was actually looking to see how the community felt about the Milwaukee situation when I stumbled onto this thread.

I first got here in '03.

You're 2010? That's cute.
 
Seems like you have a habit of using your race as an excuse to make excuse for sws. Now Trump, before.........

This minority's humble opinion, nothing more:

George Zimmerman, the wannabe cop, SHOULD NOT have followed/harassed Trayvon;

HOWEVER, by the same token, Trayvon SHOULD NOT have chosen to stop, turn around, and pick a fight (as, I believe, the evidence suggests) if he wasn't prepared to accept the potential consequence(s) of any fight (which include death). He should have avoided the confrontation and kept walking. If you're worried, call the cops.

They say he was close to his house. Why didn't he just keep walking? Why did he choose to be a tough guy when he was so close to the safety of his home?

If someone is on top of me, beating me to a pulp and I have a gun, best believe I'm blasting off -- why would I not?

Both made bad (albeit not illegal) decisions. George is wrong for initiating the conflict but Trayvon would probably still be alive if he had responded in a more sensible way.

I'm Mexican, if it matters.

P.S. "White hispanic" is a joke. That guy doesn't look white to me.

*flame suit

:lol

Getting all your news from one source, and getting mad at how that one source covers the news.

Yep, great strategy famb
I was going to mention how I also watch a lot of Fox News, but I can reasonably predict how y'all would react to that tidbit, so I decided to omit.

:lol

I'm just big on using my brain and NOT getting into violent confrontations that end in my death, that's all. :Nthat

Defending George Zimmerman, victim blaming Trayvon Martin, then add that to your defense of Trump's bigotry. Everybody knows what you bout now b.
