Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

The Dems are losing most of their talent as white males are being pushed out of party leadership. Schumer has attempted to be reasonable (only in the sense that he knows when not to fight a battle), and he's been ignored.
No they're just letting the lunatic fringe steer the party.

The Right had the same problem in the Bush years.

The right did not have the "fringe" of their party controlling things in the Bush years unless you think neocons like McCain are "fringe" in which case you're exceptional. The people in control of the GOP at the time were strictly establishment types in the same vein as Paul Ryan. It wasn't until the Obama years that GOP voters started rejecting these people in favor of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul esque guys who had paleoconservative and libertarian leanings, culminating in Trump who is a complete outlier politically.

And the "fringe" of the Democrat party doesn't want any white males in charge so you're not even disagreeing with me there.
 
I thought the only black communists were the Jim Jones cult.

So Russia and China are black now?

I will pop a circuit laughing if someone refers to Trump's "Russia collusion" as 'nigger-loving.' I just want to watch NPCs process it.

Just imagine what if Chezami convert to Islam, will he sing the same song?
Well he was a protestant that converted to Catholicism. You can have fun trying to keep track of his opinions on Islam though. When the death penalty comes up, he'll call them barbaric nations. When anybody else speaks bad about them...

And if this "guilt by association" tactic was used on literally any other group than white people, it would be rightfully derided as bigotry.
Bingo. I see that all the time.

Pelosi is Speaker because she's the most capable person they have. They're doing the best they can. The best they can is absolutely pathetic, but it's still the best the can.

I said this upthread about that disaster Amy McGrath (who has since fucked up even more) the Dems got to run against Cocaine Mitch, but it applies to Pelosi as well.
There's a feature written by the outstanding Jon Bois back in 2014 called All is lost. Basically the premise is this: In NBA 2K he creates a draft pool of the worse players the game will let him create. The shortest, weakest, least skillful possible. Those players, who he calls 'doomsday' players are the only ones who will replenish the league as the legacy players retire. He puts the game in franchise mode and lets it go, starting for the 2013-14 season. As the the doomsday players come into the league, the fewer legacy players dominate more and more against the weaker competition. Eventually only doomsday players remain and the result is as expected. In game 1 of the 2034 Finals, Orlando beats Denver 3-0 in 12 overtimes. The Magic and Nuggets combine for 1-372 from the field.

Watching the Democrats reminds me of the article. Everyone in their party are doomsday players. This is the best they can come up with to challenge their archnemesis in the Senate? For the Leader of the Free World, the Commander in Chief of the most powerful military force in the world, the best they can come up with is Hillary Clinton? Bernie Sanders? Joe Biden? Elizabeth Warren? Kamala Harris? Beto O'Rourke? Eric Swallwell? Cory Booker? Marianne Williamson? Kirsten Gillibrand?

It's like after LBJ retired, their entire draft pool was filled with doomsday players. Carter. Clinton. Obama. But there were enough legacy Dems around to still be competitive. But now? The Democratic Party is like a league full of only those losers.

They are doing the best they can. This is the best they can come up with. Three points is as much as they can score.

All is lost.

Bush catered hard to the Religious wing of the party just like the Democrats are catering to the ID Pol wing now.

If you honestly believe Pelosi or Harris believes a word of the shit they say then you're a fucking dumbass.

No I'm disagreeing with your idiotic assumption that it's white men who keep the Parties from going full retard.

The Republicans were just as tarded in the 90s and early 2000s as the Dems are now.

Justin Trudeau’s Half-Assed Response to Trump’s Racist Tweets Isn’t Good Enough

Canadians of colour deserve more than empty platitudes from our leaders.

By Jared A. Walker

It all could have been so simple.
First, Donald Trump tweets a vile, racist attack at four Democratic congresswomen, telling them to “go back” to the “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
Then, on the dark and terrifying stage of international politics—a spotlight! Enter, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who swiftly and clearly denounces Trump’s racism to thunderous applause. Because it's 2019.

But that isn’t what happened. When he was asked to denounce a clear act of racism—something so obviously necessary that even Theresa May and Boris Johnson managed to give it a go—Trudeau couldn’t do it.
Asked point blank what he thought of Trump’s comments, the prime minister claimed that “Canadians and indeed people around the world know exactly what I think about those particular comments.”
(No. We didn’t. That’s why we asked. That’s how questions work.)
"That is not how we do things in Canada," Trudeau continued. “A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian, and the diversity of our country is actually one of our greatest strengths and a source of tremendous resilience and pride for Canadians and we will continue to defend that.”



Bobbing and weaving like a prizefighter, Trudeau acted as if defending immigrants and people of colour were some rhetorical trap to be deftly evaded. But by dodging such a simple question, Justin Trudeau ended up telling us exactly what he thinks and what he values.
After a gushing bromance with former president Barack Obama, Trudeau has consistently avoided saying much of anything about Donald Trump. The obvious rationale for this is fear of poking the bear—especially when the bear is a mercurial leader in charge of the most powerful military and economy in the world.

So on myriad issues—the Muslim ban, the border wall, the sexual assault accusations, the attacks on LGBTQ communities and more—Mr. Trudeau has said very little.

Right now, Trump’s government is holding children in internment camps. He is using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to round up Black and brown people on the streets, at work and in the hospital. And when four American lawmakers challenged him, he told them to go back to where they came from in a fit of racist pique.
People in Canada and around the world—especially people of colour—have been hoping for some moral leadership from the prime minister. Canadians of all political stripes still want and believe in a just, courageous Canada. Many still remember the Nobel Peace prize of yesteryear, an emphasis on peacekeeping and the refusal to go to war in Iraq.

A lot of these people are looking at Trudeau and wondering, if he doesn’t have the guts to denounce something this clearly vile, then what does he bring to the table? What exactly is he prepared to stand up for?
Just a few days ago, in Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen’s own riding of York South—Weston, CBSA immigration officers were reported to be conducting racist, probably illegal immigration status checks on the street. News reports and eyewitnesses detail the CBSA stopping Black and brown people at the corner store and detaining them without a warrant or cause.

At any time, this would be deeply chilling for people and communities of colour. In this political climate, it is downright terrifying.
But when Hussen was asked about his constituents potentially being harassed and illegally detained, he noted that he is “not in charge of the CBSA.”

The kindest thing I will say in public about this response is that such a cowardly abdication of responsibility is simply not good enough.
All of this is deeply personal to me. This happened just a few minutes from where I live and it could easily have happened to me, or someone I love.
As a Black immigrant in Canada, I don’t have to imagine how any of this feels—these experiences have helped shape me. I know very well that “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian”... until they aren’t anymore.
I have been carded as a 90-pound kid in a T-shirt and as an adult in a suit. I’ve been told to go back to where I came from more times than I can even recall. These words were hurled at me as a child on the playground. I’ve heard them viciously whispered by old white ladies on transit and yelled with carefree delight by suburban teens speeding by in their parent’s minivan. I can assure Trudeau that unfortunately, this is exactly how we do things in Canada.
What is Trudeau’s coy refusal to address racism and xenophobia supposed to do for me? What is it supposed to do for other Black Canadians who have to contend every day with antagonism, disrespect and even violence from their nation’s institutions — in schools, in the justice system, and even on the streetcar?
Sadly, it seems that Mr. Trudeau takes us for granted so much that he has even grown tired of paying lip service to our pain.
Today in Owen Sound, Muslim Canadians must go to school, to work, and to worship, knowing that their mosque has been repeatedly vandalized—that they are targets in their own community, because of their faith.

Muslims across Canada are faced with the reality of trying to navigate a rising tide of Islamophobia and hate crimes, to say nothing of the state-sponsored racism of Quebec’s Legault government.

They deserve to feel respected and safe in their communities. They and their children deserve to belong.

Canadians already know that Justin Trudeau is capable of fighting for something, no matter the cost. We’ve seen him do it to protect a billion dollar engineering firm.
What we deserve is a prime minister that will stand up for all of us—one that isn’t afraid to speak uncomfortable truths, and fight for the dignity and safety of our loved ones.
As Trudeau heads into the next federal election in the fall, he would do well to remember that he needs Black and brown immigrants. Without us, he is irrelevant.

And the last thing we need when the chips are down is a bystander playing dress-up as an ally.

Leave it to a member of the NDP to get upset at Trudeau for not going far enough.

Why should Canada care???

Can we send those four Democrat women to them? I could agree to that compromise.
 
Did you miss Theresa May thinking she had the political clout to weigh in? This is about that same level of pathetic.
If Trump institutes a new policy of any foreign leader complaining about this shit is welcome to take these assholes I really will elect him god-emperor.
