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 680 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 677 Views
I'm making the argument... - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 770 Views

I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 567 Views

Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 651 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 752 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 689 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 728 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 644 Views

He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 724 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 665 Views
If you say so. - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 704 Views

Oh, that people voted for him over Clinton, I can understand well enough. - 21/09/2017 09:02:50 PM 604 Views
Of course I'm going to defend him.. - 21/09/2017 09:19:32 PM 656 Views
PC is about much more than not saying things to offend people - 22/09/2017 01:26:16 PM 707 Views

Trump lost credibility to me on the 'anti-PC' / 'pro free speech' issue - 26/09/2017 07:54:06 PM 609 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 621 Views
Too late to hold the phone! The horses are out of the barn. - 26/09/2017 09:20:06 PM 631 Views
