It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom Send a noteboard - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM

It's not about being politically incorrect. It's about finally DOING what a majority of Americans want to see done because he doesn't give a shit what people think. Politicians have been bitching about border security for decades and Trump is the only one who has been actively pushing real security (though his wall flip-flop didn't make me happy). ICE is finally doing its job and kicking out all the illegal gang members. Tax reform, Obamacare repeal, and a blunt message to the rest of the world that we're not going to be everyone's naive meal ticket - that's what we like. He wants people to have good jobs that pay real money and he's actively doing things to achieve that. He's cutting through all the too smart by half bullshit of the hacks of the rentier class of Washington. That's why I voted for him and why I'll support him again in 2020.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Sure, by the original meaning of the word. - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 485 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 497 Views
I'm making the argument... - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 568 Views

Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 528 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 489 Views

Oh, that people voted for him over Clinton, I can understand well enough. - 21/09/2017 09:02:50 PM 432 Views
Of course I'm going to defend him.. - 21/09/2017 09:19:32 PM 459 Views

Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 406 Views
Too late to hold the phone! The horses are out of the barn. - 26/09/2017 09:20:06 PM 440 Views
