Nate would be a Republican if they hadn't fallen off the right side of the map. As it is he says he's like a "libertarian"

His views and politics are uniformly garbage

They didn’t even tell him about it until after it happened and then he immediately tweeted about it and then, the next day, told everyone a bunch of sensitive info about it.

Take a look at the shirt. The mouth is a smile. The teeth are his name. Everything else is black.

Now imagine a person who is African American, otherwise featureless because of their skin, save for their teeth and eyes. And now you see the context for the shirt.

It is racist as poo poo.

To illustrate:

Yeah in context it's easy to understand, out of context it is words and colors.

So, after flubbing a “tough guy terrorist killer” photo that will forever be a wet footnote in high school history books, and on the same day, Idiot brought 15 of his closest “friends” (which shows how much of a friendless gently caress he is) so that he could be booed in public and on television by thousands of people. Amazing.

it won't even been a footnote at least in high school books. it will be some footnote in the various big books(academic or otherwise) to show how disliked he is.

So Trump is god and when the Nats fans booed Trump, trump used his almighty god powers to ensure the Nats lost that night. :thunk:

The one good thing about these tweets is that the Nazis are at least admitting he was loudly booed instead of trying to play the Fox News “lie and hope nobody actually looks it up” game.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
For being a country that is, in theory, built around the idea that monarchy is a tyrannical system, there sure are a lot of Americans who are all for treating their president like a king.

In the best of worlds, the idea of the nepotism that has taken over the current administration should’ve caused the same type of rabid hatred that the ancient Romans had for even the title of king; even when the emperors came along they tip-toed around the terminology to avoid uproar. Republicans of today seem perfectly happy with treating an elected leader as king, as long as he’s sufficiently hateful.

To be fair, he'd have to have read the book to be able to know what is in it. The idea of Donald "writing" a book is laughable and it deserves far more pushback than it gets.

So, Katie Hill resigned?

Basically that whole story boils down to the fact that Republicans are not held to any standards whatsoever and Democrats are held to incredibly high standards. She behaved unethically, but legally, and Republicans behaved both unethically AND illegally and then won the battle

There are times for cordial politeness to assholes. The ball park is never one of them and at this point I'm not sure any such time exists for Donald Trump. I'd say maybe in court as he's on trial for his crimes, but frankly I think he deserves heckling even then.

These same arguments were used to justify Al Franken's misdeeds. Hill hosed up. She should not have done what she did. The revenge porn aspect of this story is absolutely disgusting, but there'd be no "there" there if she hadn't had an inappropriate relationship with a member of her staff.

It is highly unethical for a superior to be in a sexual relationship with a subordinate. Full stop. Why is this so hard for people to understand. It doesnt matter if no one complained. It was wrong. Period.

This still feels like victim blaming to me. “She wouldn’t have been revenge porned if she just never had sex.”

I have a really hard time with that especially since her consensual partner hasn’t spoken up about anything.

This isn’t a normal boss/employee relationship though.

The nature of the job is very unique. It might only last a short while (maybe only 2 years) before being gone entirely, and it is required to be a very intimate and close knit group. It’s more like a team, where the representative is just the figurehead and mascot.
