The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[BurtReynolds]

That's exactly what he should do lol. Only a lib would think the best thing to do is sit there and meekly take a brow beating from fucking trash masquerading as a journalist.

he has a right to stand up for himself, but the execution was ridiculous, embarrassing, and racist.

Not to mention that he agreed to take questions from journalists at the event but barely answered any questions put to him. Utterly embarrassing.

Agreeing to take questions is not agreeing to be a dartboard to a corporate propagandist. The instant he finds out what it is, is the instant he shouldn't treat her with even a tiny bit of respect. And that includes answering her questions. Too many idiots try to take the high road, when the correct things to do is show utter contempt for the farce that it is.

Burt’s trapped teenage psyche being impressed with this latest performance tracks so hard.

She never said she wasn’t black though. If I’m talking to someone from Italy, I’ll say I’m Italian or my family is from Italy. I don’t stand there and then say “ I’m also German French and Scottish”

No Code switching

[BurtReynolds]

These types of things always offer a fascinating view of how the two groups see the same thing and see two totally different things. Utterly different worlds.

But liberals shitting themselves at such a refusal to accept their framing always makes me laugh.

I wonder where the crowd applause was coming from...

Always a pleasure when the beige institution respecter chimes in.

I wonder if she did the code switching thing when putting black guys in jail for weed.

Burt please recognize my almost clever Pearl Jam joke.

I thought it was best not to draw attention to the PJ joke.

Also:

much like a white supremacist as president was the reaction to our first black president, this is the logical result to that white supremacist. balance must be restored to the force.

Agreeing to take questions is not agreeing to be a dartboard to a corporate propagandist.

I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir.

A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.

You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true.

You have told four congresswoman women of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from.

You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys.

You've attacked black journalists calling them a loser saying the questions that they asked are quote, stupid and racist.

You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your mar a lago resort.

So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?

Which part of the above is corporate propaganda, Burt?

[BurtReynolds]

All of it? You need to learn about rhetoric. Start with the loaded question.

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

[McParadigm]

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

Except that listing specific, public examples is the equivalent of saying “have you stopped beating your wife” while also playing historical footage of you beating your wife.

[McParadigm]

I mean, to be clear, I do personally hope that conservatives make the unforced error of making this a hill to die on yet again.

Rmers collectively sighing with relief "thank God mcP is here to argue on our behalf"

Ha yeah exactly like that.

How do I make an eyeroll emoji on this phone?

You need to learn about rhetoric.

My undergraduate degree is in political science and sociology, Burt. I have a reasonable grasp of rhetoric.

In this case, the journalist presented things that Trump has verifiably said or done and asked why voters would - on the basis of him having said and done those things - trust him to be their president.

So again, when you said:

Agreeing to take questions is not agreeing to be a dartboard to a corporate propagandist.

...which part of the question from the journalist represented corporate propaganda?

lol that's embarassing for you then. Jesus, man! What are they teaching you down there?

Do you think propaganda is just when you tell lies?

Loaded questions? Leading questions? Half truths? Vague allusions? Tone? Any of this ringing a bell?

[BurtReynolds]

"Let's address the elephant of racism in the room. Are you as a racist, who called a DA a rabbit, and who said journalists are stupid, really deserving of black votes?" Asks the totally real journalist in a totally not aggressive, non-propagandistic way.

"You made me wait 30 minutes. Fuck you."

"How dare you sir!"

In another universe, some of you would have made ideal FOXnews watchers.
