I would say send 'em.
With his face completely obscured with a black marker.
Or with funny mustaches, beards, glasses, etc.
“Jesus is very overrated. I prefer saviors who weren’t crucified, OK?”
Sigh
Please can you make it clear when you are interpreting trumps words and when you’re saying something he actually said?
He did NOT say “no right to free speech”
His actual claim (according to his own lie) was no right to tell falsehoods.
There’s a world of difference between the two.
When you do this…you reduce the power and impact of an otherwise good argument.
Exaggeration is good once. But the next time your points just get dismissed as political hyperbole.
Which won’t help beat trump.
Coming from Trump, the king of the most obvious lies imaginable? The irony is impervious to knives.
It’s not about trump…
It’s about making accurate statements.
Shall we talk about Mike Pence saying name calling has no place in politics?
If it’s about making accurate statements, let’s start with “no right to tell falsehoods”. Sure there is. So even interterpreted your way, Mr. Trump is still wrong and trying to deny someone their constitutional rights.
No, Fat Don said the guy had no right to get up and say some things. Whether Mr. Kahn’s statement is a truth or a lie, Mr. Kahn has every fucking right to get up there and say it. The very Constitution Trump claims to have read gives Mr. Kahn that right. Fat Don could’ve just said, “Mr. Kahn is wrong-- I have read the Constitution.” But no, he had to use the words “no right.” To talk about having no right to say something in the same sentence that he claims to have read the Constitution is just typical Trump, face-palming stupid Trump. Like, “Keep your government hands off my Medicare”-caliber stupid.
Fat Don even goes on to imply in this statement that by proclaiming these alleged falsehoods, Mr. Kahn is somehow making America less safe. So, Mr. Kahn has “no right” to “say…things” and by doing so is somehow dangerous to our country? Why? Why does Fat Don get to say things, even false things, but Mr. Kahn doesn’t?
Who made an inaccurate statement, other than Fat Don?
Well, okay, but could you then make it clear when Trump is interpreting Khan’s words and when he’s saying something he actually said?
Trump said, “Mr. Khan who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution (which is false) and say many other inaccurate things.”
But Khan didn’t claim that Trump has never read the Constitution. He said, “Let me ask you: have you even read the United States constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy. In this document, look for the words ‘liberty’ and ‘equal protection of law’.” It’s a rhetorical question that does not imply Trump hasn’t read the Constitution, but that he is ignoring or misunderstanding it.
It’s also not the least bit clear what “many other inaccurate things” Khan said that Trump might be referring to.
There is nothing in Khan’s speech that even approaches a lie about Donald. At most there is an unflattering characterization. The only way Mr. Khan has no right to stand in front of millions of people and say the things he did is if he has no right of free speech at all.
He was also polling at 5 to 6% in July 2012 and pundits then were talking about how he could play a significant role, given that then
Note that he barely got 1% even in New Mexico on election day.
Polling ≠ showing for a third party.
Undecideds had no reason to not come home to either Obama or Romney in 2012. They have tons of reasons to never vote for Clinton or Trump.
That is quite an irony in the highlighted Trump comment … Trump lying about what Mr. Khan actually said (asking if Trump has actually read the Constitution) to claim that Mr. Khan “has no right” to say something false.
By the way, does anyone actually believe Trump when he says he has actually ever, even in High School before the Constitution test, ever actually read the document?
At least according to the recent PPP poll
But in this case we are not talking about those classified as “undecided” but those classified as supporting Johnson in poll. Will they “come home” to either party or stay home or vote Johnson. I suspect many more will do one of the first two than the last.
PPP’s undecided pool is rather small though, only 5%. Other polls are showing 10-20%. Reuters reported 25% undecided.
I make fun of Goldman Sachs, and I get a warning. This? Nothing.
You gave an anti-Semitic slur, he is just calling Donald Trump fat
“Fat Don”, is a factually correct statement.
Fat Don? Don’s fat. He’s a fat guy. A fat guy named Don. Fat Don likes nicknames, so I gave him one. And I’m just emulating Fat Don, who happens to be the candidate for president from the Party of Lincoln. I thought you’d be happy to see people start emulating Fat Don, follow his lead, Make America Great Again. Making America Great Again starts and ends with giving unflattering nicknames to public figures you disagree with, right? That’s what Fat Don seems to be doing. Why do you have a problem with me doing something Fat Don believes in?
It’s incredibly sad to see trump supporters try to defend his latest outrageous statement… Seriously, how can anyone look at himself in the mirror and look at that ridiculous buffoon and say “yeah, that’s presidential material”
I think it’s all about Hillary hate at this point, every time you press them on trump they start talking Hillary hate… Sigh
