Tell the mainstream media that humoring Trump's vices and exaggerating HRC's peccadillos would be a critical disservice to the Republic.Chaz wrote: Tue May 29, 2018 7:52 pm Oh, I wasn't going to tell Trump supporters.

He's in...Nashville? Is there something about the demographics of Nashville I'm missing here? Or is this some type of Christian end of days the Mooslims hate it, we're stiggin it to them etc... applause? Not a true excitement over relocation and recognition?Trump gets big applause for keeping his campaign promise to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, open the embassy there.
Pretty sure none of them gave a crap about that until Trump made it a stigginit issue and claimed it as a "win".Smoove_B wrote: Tue May 29, 2018 9:31 pm That seems like a ridiculous amount of lies, even for Trump. However this one has me a bit stunned:

Conservative Evangelicals make no distinction between the modern state of Israel and biblical Israel. Any modern Middle East policy that vaguely reminds them of the Old Testament gets their vote. Since King David made Jerusalem the capital, Trump is Godly.
It's entirely routine for Evangelicals quote scriptures about Babylonians and Canaanites when complaining about Muslims (even though there were no Muslims in biblical times).

Wow! Your expectations are high.
Roseanne Barr says she was "Ambien tweeting" at 2 in the morning when she posted a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a former senior adviser in the Obama White House, that caused ABC to cancel her TV show.
..
Barr said shortly before 10:30 a.m. Tuesday: "I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter." She then sent dozens of tweets in which she apologized and offered up a number of reasons for her offensive comment.
"It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting — it was memorial day too — I went 2 far & do not want it defended," Barr said in a tweet Tuesday night.

Listing Ambien's actual side effects on its website, the company's warnings and precautions for Ambien include a section on "Abnormal Thinking and Behavioral Changes" — saying the side effects can include a lack of inhibition.
...
Later, Barr denied that she was putting the blame on Ambien, saying it was "just an explanation not an excuse."

On Wednesday morning, Barr also invoked President Trump. Barr said, "i feel bad for @POTUS-he goes thru this every single day."
I don't think that they had much of a choice. Key producers / writers / staffers were already quitting in droves. They could have replaced them and continued with the show....but I'm sure that attracting talent to the show would've been difficult at best, and would not be a good look for them.hepcat wrote: Wed May 30, 2018 12:15 pm I honestly wish they hadn't cancelled her show. This just gives more power to the miscreants worshipping at the First United Church of Trump (FUCT for short) in their constant whining about being victims. They should have just let the bad blood and tension between cast members forced to work with her slowly destroy the show, all while distancing themselves with the standard disclaimer about talent not reflecting the views of management.
I love this line, by the way. It's true - Trump does get in hot water for saying racist shit pretty regularly.Isgrimnur wrote: Wed May 30, 2018 11:27 am On Wednesday morning, Barr also invoked President Trump. Barr said, "i feel bad for @POTUS-he goes thru this every single day."
If only there was a T-shirt with a slogan on it that could be used here to help them process what we're all thinking. Maybe something that was sold at a campaign rally? Perhaps phrased in a way that would really assist in understanding. I'm sure it will come to me eventually.hepcat wrote: Wed May 30, 2018 12:15 pmThis just gives more power to the miscreants worshipping at the First United Church of Trump (FUCT for short) in their constant whining about being victims.
A Trump supporter in-law on my Facebook feed posted a picture of Whoopi Goldberg wearing a shirt with a picture of Donald Trump blowing his brains out with a pistol and the caption "Make America Great Again", and said "Why hasn't The View been canceled???" Obviously the picture was a pretty clear photoshop.Holman wrote: Tue May 29, 2018 5:46 pmYep. They're claiming an equivalence between racism and criticizing the president.Skinypupy wrote: Tue May 29, 2018 4:53 pm The talking points seem to be mostly misplaced whataboutism, as far as I can tell:
- Jemele Hill did the same thing and still kept her job. (Narrator: she didn't)
- ESPN didn't fire Keith Olbermann for calling Trump a Nazi. (Narrator: once again, not the same thing)
They mostly seem to be trying to create an false equivalence between calling someone a racist because they say and do racist things (i.e. what Hill and Olbermann did) and actually saying and doing racist things (i.e. what Roseanne did).
And, of course, Trumpers are buying it 100%.
Or not even that. They're implying that the latter is more serious and wrong.

I don't know why I ever read The Fix on the Washington Post (at least they don't have Cillizza anymore), but in one of their posts on this they had this great section:tjg_marantz wrote: Wed May 30, 2018 12:59 pmLess and less closeted each day.Octavious wrote:My MIL posted on FB that she thought her comments were funny.

Those...seem like solid reasons to regard someone as being racist.Liberals often think Trump supporters such as Barr — and her TV character — are racist because they support racist ideas like those Barr tweeted. Trump supporters are also often viewed as racist because many of them have gone on the record acknowledging the role cultural anxiety plays in their politics.
This is real.Trump wrote:Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?
He refers to himself in 1st and 3rd person in he same sentence. Impressive. He also uses his middle initial. Bonus!Holman wrote: Wed May 30, 2018 1:29 pm I think I said something yesterday about Trump supporters claiming an equivalence between racism and criticizing the president.

Fair enough - here is another example. Bolton just installed an anti-muslim nutjob as NSC Chief of Staff. He literally is on record saying absolutely off-the-wall things. I can't get over how much damage can be done in so short a period of time.
