They've gone on record saying that the company loving hates what Trump is doing to their brand.

What are people going to remember, that statement (that I hadn't heard before now) or 30,000 Tweets� from Trump that plunged the world into chaos?

I've seen a lot of these so far and this is the one that makes Obama's supporters look like losers or obsessed wackos the least. I mean, the underwear...

Hey I'm a bit behind on things, where did "Alternative Facts" come from?

Trump's press secretary said a bunch of the kind of complete bullshit we should expect nonstop for the next few years at least, and then some communications lady in an interview afterwards said he was saying "alternative facts".

Edit: these are not just some TV talking heads these are some of Trump's top people, waging a war on the very concept of being right or wrong about things. If they keep up this pace it will be the end of America as we know it not in several years like I thought, but in a couple of months.

It will never cease to infuriate me how MRAs only talk about actual issues facing men as a way to stick it to feminists.

I'm not normally someone on the Reddit hate train I can't even believe how bad they are for this, no matter how many times I see it. Like holy poo poo, not just some buried subreddit but every single top voted comment on anything about women anything. A million guys saying "Wait I hear something! There's a discussion happening somewhere that isn't about guy problems! I'm off!"

Interesting that health care is the bottom of the stack and thus most fundamental, even before national security, and way before the truth.

Pink Floyd's The Wall uses hammers as the symbol for Neo-Nazis in the movie version.

So what, the press corps is also Nazis?

Oh yeah I remember all those times Obama personally insulted Fox reporters.

I absolutely don't remember Trump literally making a crude menstruation joke on TV about one of them.

edit: speaking of this, same as when Bill was having his blowjob scandal I am surprised how much you can actually say on the news nowadays when the situation demands it. Besides gross Trump stuff, The U of Washington is running a class titled "Calling Bullshit in the Age of Big Data" and the Seattle Times at least wrote it as-is.

Maybe that would have worked better if Giuliani wasn't on tv talking about how they were trying to literally legally create a Muslim ban without calling it such.

Though even without it's pretty drat obvious

Also I think a lot of people voted for Trump because they thought he wasn't going to try to lawyer them, but that's exactly what this is, only way worse than an actual lawyer.

Guy at work who is "socially liberal fiscally conservative" was telling me how he thought that what Trump was doing was stupid and morally awful, buuuuuuuuuuut non citizens aren't protected by the constitution so legally people can't do anything and its ridiculous to sue. I'm sure that probably isn't true.

I guess the simple response to that is, why can't the police just throw every immigrant they see into jail forever without a trial, since clearly many would like to? There must be something constitutional holding most of them back.

Individuals vs groups?

His children don't have much in common with each other other than Trump knocked up their respective mothers so that's kind of like a group.

But as far as I understand it, the request was "design for my family", right? It wasn't like each member of the family individually went out seeking a tailor?

Oh, maybe.

Anyway if we were talking about them like a clan, which they might become of they become the first imperial family of America, it could be a somewhat valid comparison. There's lots of horrific clan discrimination over in Somalia which America is closer to becoming than it has been in a while.

Is it even worth it to point out GOP hypocrisy anymore? It doesn't work. I mean, maybe some of them secretly cry themselves to sleep over what they have become but they come in the next morning ready to debase themselves same as the day before. And most of them probably don't have Trump's excuse of having a legit personality disorder.

There are some strong cartoons here against the administration but the most scary account of a possible future I read is where critical cartoons and op-ed pieces and stuff continue like now, only no one who can make a difference reads them or cares.

One the one hand there is a serious disconnect there and people hero-worship both of them simultaneously anyway, but on the other hand this is kind of like a conservative saying "there need to be way more MLK reacting to Obama cartoons if the left's mental block is ever going to get cracked".

Did Obama do things that would have sickened King? Reagan was Reagan but he was still a public servant as far as I know, and any public servant should look at Trump and be sickened. And that's leaving aside the cold war stuff.

I dunno about sickened but in many ways Obama was the white moderate that King specifically called the biggest problem.

You're probably right about that but King was used to dealing with them. I dunno if Reagan would have anticipated someone like Trump following in his footsteps.
