Kim Jong-un & Trump arrives in Singapore for Summit....there was talks for a 2nd summit 0h boi

I don't know that this is so much Devil's advocate as a dead on summation of the psyche of Trump Supporters. There've been a few studies that pointed out pretty clearly that most of his voters were motivated by racial anxiety over anything else. So of course they feel like they have a champion.

He's overweight, intellectually lazy, inarticulate, insecure, and white. He gives them comfort because he is everything that they are... and everything Obama wasn't.

Well, put!

Now riddle me this. How do you "reason" with people that would rather watch the world burn than accept equal footing with those that don't look like them?

:lol:

You don't "reason" with them. "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled" ... that's the Trump supporter. They're going down with the ship no matter what happens at this point.

You can marginalize them or maybe trick them with someone else they think is their champion to move them (like Bill Clinton or GWB who could play that good ole boy angle, but were actual politicians) but there is no reasoning with them at this point.

^^^Someone asked me about this. Why don't they admit Trump was a mistake for the GOP?

I looked at that person and asked are you crazy?

Admitting that you proudly and boldly stood behind one of the most egregious human beings on the planet is a guaranteed death sentence to the GOP for the next 20 years.
 

:smh:

This feels like final scenes in the movie Armageddon where everyone is resigned to the pending destruction of the earth...people hugging and praying, little kids being ushered by their parents into the tornado shelters of their mid western homes as they prepare for the unsurviveable...all while someber music plays in the background. In the scene you hear the president’s final words, but in this case the idiot n chief is riding a top the asteroid like slim pickins rides that nuke to its target in Dr Strangelove.

Mueller is Bruce Willis...we shall see if he has the goods. A smoking gun will not be enough...he’ll need to have something that comes so far out of left field that NO ONE expects it.

Fa real...
 
Let me play Devil's advocate here.

They know he's an asshole that shouldn't be anywhere near the white house and that he's likely deeply tied with Russia and that he's doing all kinds of illegal shit.

Who else is going to ride "for" them? (Note I use the term for them here loosely)

Honestly, Who else is going to call blacks and other minorities "shit holes" and "son of bitches etc?" The way they publically want to do every day.

Who else is going openingly institute policies that help keep the White Man on top?

They look around them and see "scary" progress by minorities in positions of power. Hell, A BLACK MAN, become POTUS. How scary is that?

What else can be accomplished?

etc etc etc

Honestly, When you start to think of it in those ways it truly starts to make sense.


I appreciate the breakdown, but I know that's what the deal is. It doesn't piss me off any less to understand the mechanics of 'why'. That's why all of the people saying that we needed to 'understand' those voters after the election pissed me off, too. Knowing why doesn't make the reasoning any less garbage.

The Tape...it's going to have to be the tape...thats it.
 
"This is a reward that a totalitarian regime does not deserve, and this announcement only perpetuates theCastro regime’s decades of repression," outgoing Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said in a sharply-worded statement. He challenged Republicans, who will assume Senate control next year, to hold hearings "on this dramatic and mistaken change of policy."

"Relations with the Castro regime should not be revisited, let alone normalized, until the Cuban people enjoy freedom – and not one second sooner," House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said in a statement.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) called Obama's announcement "another concession to tyranny" by his administration.

His colleague Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Miami, added: "The Cuban people are no more free today than they were before Obama's terrible deal."

suddenly now meeting with bloodthirsty dictators is cool?
 
Am I the only one who thought he was going to off Trump live on national tv. They make paper thin tv’s in Korea they could make fake skin to hold the nerve gas
 

Okay, someone help me with this one. Because I can't think of anything less important on a national or global scale than getting back some dust from the other side of the world.

I get it, if you had a loved one die over there, and you're sentimental like that. Or maybe your faith requires proper rights or whatever. I get that it would matter to an individual.

But that it was even a talking point afterwards, or something Trump felt like mentioning... it seems off. Like, how would you even go about making that happen if you're North Korea...?
