Like we both said ... We'd disagree on that lol
This is among the countries biggest problems and why we are splitting as a country. People can no longer differentiate opinion from fact/truth. If you said you hate Trump, fine. Find him a jerk? Egotistical? Pompous? Subjective and I'd even agree. Racist?? That's a hell of an accusation and there is nothing solid to suggest he is, with plenty of acts to suggest he isn't.

I'll split the middle on this one. He isnt a bald head, cross burning, everyone who doesnt share his Skin color needs to die sort of racist.

the thing is, the racists think he is one of them... for me thats a problem.

I don't think your splitting the middle there. I certainly haven't claimed he was that.

I'm not following you on what you're claiming is a big problem.

Also there's plenty to suggest Trump IS racist.

Sigh.

The problem is people "choosing" their truths. Not taking the truth and forming an opinion, but selecting what is and isn't fact.

But again, lets unpack it. Cite your evidence/proof/examples.

I mean... If you're forming opinions and beliefs based on nothingness yes that's bad... I'm not seeing your point still.

In the interest of giving a dedicated answer let me provide that tomorrow.

Kamala Harris once compared ICE to the KKK, BUT here’s what she didn't tell you...


In 2018, ICE ERO arrested 158,581 illegal immigrants, 90% of whom had criminal convictions. Nearly 6,000 known/suspected gang members were removed in 2018 thanks to these brave Americans.

Nah uh

1. I didn't call anybody here a racist.

2. I called Trump a racist. If that crosses a line for you, you shouldnt be moderating a political thread so I am assuming that's not what you were referring to.

3. I said there are racists. I think this is something we can all agree upon.


Now, to put it politely, I think your rules on this topic are...bad and in need of a discussion.

But nobody broke any rules here.
I was talking to the other guy . There will be no discussion of the rules . No name calling period

What? The same way we do now...

And before you say but people will still get across!! - they'll get across with a wall too. Hate to break it to ya but you aren't stopping every person. Thankfully, that's not an emergency (despite Trump's claims).
The thing is it isn’t stopping now

CBO report shows that spending, not Trump tax cuts, are primarily driving the nation's deficits"

Well, there’s been a couple people really pushing the race card here, it’s really hard not to say that in fact is a racist argument.

Are you referring to me?

I was not actually calling him a racist (unlike democrats, I don't throw that term around casually), I was demonstrating a point; that it is dangerous to mislabel people willy nilly.

its hard to listen to anything objectively from the left leaning posters on this thread until they acknowledge the travesty and clusterfuck that was the Covington Catholic outrage....

are you guys just going to pretend that your allies (MSM & Hollywood) did not try to publicly ruin the lives of 16 year old kids to paint a certain narrative without checking into it?

even worse, when proven that the narrative was a blatant lie, to not go on an apology tour either and just skirt over it to the next outrage?

If your excuse for every poll you don't like is...

"Wah it's a fake Democrat poll!!" then you can make yourself believe aaaaanything you like.

Clearly you aren't interested facts. Just what confirms your beliefs and makes you feel good.
Funny that's why you like the fake polls.

They were fake during the election when you ate them up, and they are fake now. Got it yet?

The proof is in the White House, little fella.
