I'm not sure if Bi_3 or tree_ is the most adept at totally missing the point. But I think it's important to point out that both have an ( _ ) in their usernames. That can't be a coincidence.

bi_ is just willfully ignoring the point in favor of making a (not) funny post at the expense of successful and well-intentioned women in power and the board is all the worse for it. Shame.

What point is that? That Trump is a racist troll who is completely unfit to run the nation? No shit. That his party is full of cowards comprising what should the most fundamental value of America? Obviously. Their harassment by the Cheeto doesn’t make policy proposed “the squad” more or less valid. Their intersections don’t make their policy positions more or less valid. Their repeated chanting of “justice” and “equality” doesn’t make their proposals any better or worse either. Like art must be separated from the artist, ideas must be separated from the thinker and evaluated on their merit alone and their ideas are awful. So as we continue to bash every piece of dribble that comes from their mouths, please realize that it’s not an endorsement of the red team’s pathetic performance over the last 10 years or their inability to stand up to a bully.

I was really just making a generic RM post in response to a take down of the squad.

While you were looking, did you find a single instance of a Republican in office condemning Trump’s racist tweet directly? In the seven hours it’s been up?

23 hours now.
Some folks speaking up, now. Mitt Romney’s deflection was on-brand hilarious for its cowardice though.
It shouldn't have surprised me, but somehow it did.

Remember when a subset of conservative media accused JOHN BOEHNER of being socialist? Ahh. We’ve had such good times together.

Mitch out there this morning calling DC and Puerto Rico statehood “full blown socialism”
Its a good thing conservatives are so honest and responsible with how they use “socialism” as an attack, otherwise the public might get confused as to what it means.

Seriously considering reparations in a presidential debate doesn't sound like a winning strategy, but hey, it's clearly the right that's moved away from the center.
