The biggest disaster is you watch cnn. I would like someone to defend Eminem, what he said was disrespectful to his fans.
This is how people get banned from the politics thread, and eventually, the forums.Also ill leave this here
Whose alt account does this guy belong to?
Also I don't understand what that picture is supposed to mean

Black people like to do the 'OK punch game,' but don't know it's supposed to be below the waist?
I know who it is but even ignoring how old news it is what is the relevance?
So you want to point out that some people like Trump? I don't think that is much of a revelation.
I know both my parents are avid FOX News watchers and like Trump.
My trucking company owns a truckstop restaurant and the rule from the owner is the TVs always play the FOX News channel. Truck drivers in general strongly tend to be conservative so I see that support.
I tend to be independent or line up with The Green Party. I didn't like either Hillary or Trump.
As for Trump fans in this thread, you should probably bring solid discussion topics with sources and not throwaway comments. I'm not a Mod, just sayin that casual anti-Trump comments or Memes are accepted as part of the general direction of discussion in here, but not really the other way.
I'm willing to listen to someone who's pro-Trump. However someone arguing for Trump needs to bring something more than straw man arguments and other logical fallacies.
I'm just saying to Tru Adam that anti-Trump people don't need to do that in this thread. Well, not to see poor arguments are welcome, but we get away with drive by Memes. I think this is a side effect of Trump's own Tweets being almost Meme like; they are so absurd.
I'll also listen to a Trump supporter, I'm just posting a note of caution before they quickly wind up like DreadFox.
The difference is we would stand by a meme or anything else we posted if questioned. We don't have to explain usually because it is obvious, but if questioned, we would stand by what we said, just just throw something up and duck.
It is also a straw man argument when you make someone else's claim for them then attack it. Nobody here thinks that everyone shares our opinion.
I think that's the difference. We do get away with throwing things out because we know we don't even have to duck.
Also, a lot of the absurd things posted are Trump's own Tweets so they basically explain themselves.
No im not him. looked him up on here seemed to Personal attacks are out of line.
SOME people do, sadly many of those people have other issues and like that he's a high profile person who supports their backwards thinking vs trying to make them feel shame for it, they love the trolling aspect.
I totally get not trusting establishment politicians, many people on the right and left agree with that but their was never a logical argument to be made that a man who was so obviously corrupt in his personal life and business dealings was going to bring honor back to Washington D.C. Hillary was an awful choice by the democrats, again the establishment basically chose her for us but even with her shortcomings (which there are many) she was still the better choice between the two.
The economy now is just continuing the path it had been on during the last few years yet Trump is taking all of the credit for it (as most people would to be fair) but when his idiotic decisions start bringing things down I wonder if his supporters will finally be honest with themselves and admit that he was never the right guy for the job and that he didn't know what he was doing or if they'll just find someone else to blame?
The data says otherwise. Historically low approval ratings [1]. The perception that world leaders respect the US president has dropped [2]. Generic ballots indicate great disdain for Republican candidates [3]. Outside the US, respect for the president and views of the US have seen declines as well [4]. Doubtful.
Well there is nothing they can really argue other than he's bringing jobs back. Which is just a fallacy to begin with. The guy is a clown and needs to be removed from office. End of story.
Mike Pence writes an anonymous op ed for NY Times? Read it all. It’s a goddamn national security nightmare.

I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.
President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.
It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.
The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.

Let us remember this as the month that we learned that this President is so averse to actual preparation that his staffers were able to prevent us from withdrawing from our trade deal with South Korea by taking the paper off of his desk.
Meanwhile, the latest Mueller leak that was totally leaked by Rudy 911 is that the Special Counsel offered to allow Trump to provide written testimony with no obstruction questions. Problem for the best law team crooked Russian money can rent is that it just means he either still commits perjury while Mueller has the evidence, he admits to Conspiracy to defraud the US, or they somehow blow this off as a perjury trap, which no reasonable person could believe but 30percent of the US will lap up because they aren't told not to.

The job gains are coming at the expense of massive debt. A massive increase in debt by cutting taxes for the rich gives us less unemployment but flat wages.
Let's also not forget that the same man who wanted Hillary locked up without an indictment, let alone a trial, is bashing the Department of Justice that report to the guy he f***ing chose because they dared to indict two Congressmen who committed fraud.
