It's even funnier in that the evidence shows that Trump probably didn't even say it. The reporting came from people briefing reporters on what happened in the closed room. Washington Compost didn't actually hear him say it. And it's not like those tasked with briefing the reporters (Trump is their boss) would include something like "he said shithole countries" without a purpose. |

The super delegate system is why Hillary would have beaten Bernie regardless of the DNC's interference. There's plenty that's been written about it in major publications that you're free to look up on your own. He didn't have a snowball's chance in hell because he's not a part of the Democratic party. | |

Don't those tasked with briefing reporters have some credibility? More than one person came out of that meaning saying he he said it. |

The main thing that has me thinking he actually said it is that it's probably easier to dispense what he wants that way. The other option would require a more complex and easier to fail system of making staff know secret intent. That's not out of the question though. On the flip side, there is heightened risk with the strategy of actually saying this sort of thing since it can be recorded, which would damage Trump significantly given he said he did not say it. |

I do. He thinks the idea of open borders is totally retarded, and feels that he doesn't have to respect anyone who espouses that idea by debating the issue or even explaining himself with more than a single bombastic sentence. |

Zimbabwe pursued the concepts of "fairness" and "social justice" to the fullest extent. Then they realized that emotionally feeling like they knew how to farm was not the same as actually knowing how to farm. |

Another important element is that this exemplifies how the Marxist view of capitalism is just factually wrong. That idea is that producers, owners, those with capital, the bourgeoisie, the rich, are harming the people. The opposite is true, and the reason why gets back to what I discussed about a week ago about how wealth is more appropriately thought of in terms of resources. When a monetarily wealthy person sells something to a non-monetarily wealthy person, that non-monetarily wealthy person is in fact wealthier in terms of total resources. So, in effect, the Zimbabweans socialists demolished their own wealth when they exacted social justice on the "evil capitalists." |

When you made an appeal to authority the other day - right after a reductio ad hitlerum - I thought you were certainly trolling. An appeal to the authority of Lenin... I genuinely chuckled. I thought it was a joke. | |

They will never get it. There's no reason to even try with them. A big part of it is that they care more about being liked than anything else. It's why they put so much value in being a victim, which is tied into why the left has turned into a competition to see who can be the biggest snowflake. | |

It's yet another example of the same thing. They do not understand personal responsibility. Everything is always someone else's fault, even if they have to blame the rules themselves. | |

No, when your message is retarded garbage, calling you a purveyor of retarded garbage is apt. And there really is no other way to describe your "trump is dumb" drumbeat other than to call it retarded garbage. |

Ignoring the fact that you're implying he deserves credit for whatever happened in the one year before he was president, let's give him credit for at minimum, not fucking up what Obama started. You might even argue he made things work better than they would have otherwise. Ok, fair enough. | |

No one here is giving Trump sole credit for the stock market (another of your seemingly endless string of strawmen). However, the rise started the day he was elected and has not stopped in over a year while he has been president. That's a strong indicator that his election and policies are a primary cause, though they are obviously not the only cause. | |

Happy to give him credit for these things happening under his watch. One can argue whether or what extent they're positive though, depending on one's perspective. | |

In a nutshell, it means that net value is increasing, which helps everyone. It does not mean that "people who have money invested in the stock market bought more stocks." In fact, it means that more people want to buy stocks than people want to sell them. That's what drives value up. | |

None of this has anything to do with policy. this is just you having a personal distaste for a bombastic celebrity holding official office. That's not a 'wrong' opinion. I sympathize with it to some degree. It's part of the reason I didn't vote for him in the primary. But that's all in the past. Trump won the election. And he did it by being all of the things you listed above. Everyone knew what they were getting, and they elected him. Complaining about it now is nothing more than whining. He's a cantankerous ass hole. That's not news. It's also not disqualifying in any way. |

The thing I am most impressed by is that he hasn't bent to media or ctrl-left social justice pressure. Just about all Republicans would, except perhaps one like Cruz. But even then I'm so impressed by this that even though I voted for Cruz over Trump, I think Trump is doing better than Cruz would. |
