You don't even need to be angry at or dislike Trump to think "Hmmm... Probably not a good choice if I want for this to be a somber and dignified affair."

How long does anyone seriously think Donnie could last before trying to make McCain's funeral about himself?

They're on their "Trump is the most dignified and most Decorum-adhering president ever! He is the best and most honorable man ever!" thing following Michelle Wolf and denying any of the things Trump ever said, so they will say he'd give a eulogy that wouil;d make every cheer and force Obama to shed his human suit and be exorcised, or some poo poo.

The other five members of the deal have all vowed to stay in it, and Iran has started further negotiations with them, so I expect bitching about European "traitors" as well.

If the Iran deal can survive Trump pulling out of it, then John Kerry seriously deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

What about out of control capitalism that makes everyone see a bleak and unforgiving future where they have to work 3 jobs to barely scrape by while trillionaires get tax cuts and lecture people starving to death on how they just need to work harder? Maybe that leads to an entire generation just wanting to give up and devaluing life the same way corporations have since the beginning of time accelerated in the Reagan era leading to the inevitable time of people working too hard and leaving their children with very little guidance as they grow and (attempt to) mature?

And that's why the people most likely to go on school shootings are always the most oppressed by capitalism - straight white middle class males.

Using the shooting only as window dressing to pursue your entirely irrelevant pet issue is just as lovely when you do it as when Freepers blame it on abortion, using the exact same language (You seriously didn't see you were saying the exact same devaluing of life thing get were?). Unless you think under socialism this freak would have been given a communal forcibly lobotomized woman to gently caress, socialism wouldn't have made this guy not an incel shooter.

I know at least one person in his mid 20s who would be a freeper if he knew about the site.

He honestly believes in the shadow government, the all-powerful Freemasons, and, of all things, that Princess Diana was assassinated because, in his words, she knew too much.

He constantly retweets Trump, Trump Jr., Flynn Jr., Alex Jones, and basically every other rightwing shithead you can name.
Yeah, but I would assume that this person you are aware of would take one look at the site that hasn't upgraded since 1995, figure "gently caress this noise" and find something that looks like a website that has a frigging CSS. Same with the 30 year old - I know there are Freep level opinions among 36 year olds, but I didn't think there was also Freep level tolerance for an objectively terribly made site.

I want to make some kind of snide joke here, but I really just can't get over this.

What could they possibly think that Donald "football players who don't stand for the anthem should be fired," Trump, who is literally and very publicly tearing hispanic children away from their parents at the border, whose vice president is Mike Pence and who is, in all likelihood going to gently caress up the situation in the Korean peninsula, and who has already alienated literally all of our allies in the South China Sea with his idiotic tariffs, done to make any of those groups feel even a little bit positive about him?

HIGH JOB NUMBERS! BOOMING ECONOMY!

Refusing to ever acknowledge Obama fixing the economy means that they think all people ate in the same bubble, and think the economy was a nightmare until january 2017. Thus, they think everyone gives Trump credit for the economy he inherited.

As for the gays, log cabin republicans called Trump the most pro gay president ever, and Freepers think that's convincing.

They don't hate women, they hate women who speak and think. Thats why they despise Hillary and always have, because she refused to be pigeonholed as a cookie baking housewife prop, and wanted to change the world. And thats why they like Melania, a woman who has probably expressed the least ideas or independent thoughts of any first lady in history (thats not calling her stupid, its saying she has yet to give any speech of any kind of consequence whatsoever apart from the one she stole). She's a trophy wife model who is clearly in a loveless marriage and under strict control.

That view of women seems to be one of the strongest point of continuity between the alt right and the hateful crazies. They view women as pretty looking props to be used as an accessory for a man and to repeat what he tells her, not as an independent, thinking human being. Reminds me of Old Fashioned, where the happy ending is a woman basically having her independence broken and crushed out of her, and submitting to this psychotic control freaks rules and opinions.

In all likelihood a Confederacy that somehow survived and gained independence would have ended up as a Lee-led military dictatorship in all but name, and would not have survived his death (if it lasted even that long). States like Georgia would almost certainly rebel against the central authority in Richmond, as Governor Joe Brown came close to doing anyway in reality, and been stepped on by the military that stayed loyal to the Richmond regime and gently caress this is heading into Turtledove territory.

This was one of the many issues that I had that that dumb Confederate HBO show, that on top of everything else wrong with it, there is no way that a modern confederate America could exist to the present day(hot takes about how present day America is the modern confederate America aside).

It's covered in racist poo poo, but contains a decent burn on Steele. I have no idea how he ended up chairing the RNC.

He was given the job in 2009, and delivered the 2010 victory, the only thing that has allowed them to not be crushed by their losses in the popular vote ever since. Hes by a wide margin the most competent person to have held that job in ages. Then, because hes black, they kicked his rear end to the curb and gave it to a dumbass white guy.

It's pretty insulting to act like Steele never accomplished anything.

He was a token choice made back when the GOP liked to at least pretend that it was racially inclusive.

No, he's the exact opposite of that. He's the most qualified and capable man for the job, who got cut after he achieved a historic victory because the GOP couldn't stand black men having authority in their own party.
