The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

Convince him Stephen changed his name from “Mueller.”

Trump loses his African American.

Welp, now whenever he says “My n*gga” in staff meetings, he’s just gonna look like a racist buffoon.

He still has Candace Owens.

And Rhinestone and Rayon, or whatever it is those two call themselves.

What about that guy, the doctor, who’s in charge of HUD or something? Can’t remember his name and too lazy to look it up. Or has he resigned? Or maybe he’s not really black? I can’t keep up.

He still has, Og help us, Ben Carson, too.

Ben Carson

So far as I understand, that is the history. Racist stereotyping is a thing that has existed on this planet and, I don’t believe, that there’s a benefit to society in forgetting about that or pretending otherwise.

I’ll grant that Fiddle Peghead almost certainly had no intention of alluding to something racist by bringing up “rats”, but it felt like a good moment for a reminder of how racism can hide in society, without people noticing it.

You could probably find racist messages in your alphabet soup.

If you kept stirring, then eventually. Though, all it would mean is that you had a very strange hobby.

On the other hand, in a discussion with a person denying the plain reality that a march by neo-Nazis to protect statues built by the wives and daughters of members of the KKK is simply a blind defense of racism based on a partisan unwillingness to be honest with oneself, it seems fair - as said - to note how racism can be easily overlooked.

I would personally say that it’s a worse thing to deny racism because it forces one to confront (possible) unfortunate truths, than to point out the occasional bit of disgraceful human history to remind us that we’re flawed creatures who act irrationally in the name of our chosen identities on occasion.

What a fucking idiot Cheadle is:

:confused:

Are you fucking kidding us? Why else would Trump have said that? Why does he say anything?

The rest of the world sees us as a bunch of scared, racist misogynic religious assholes that don’t care about anyone but ourselves. This is Donald Trumps persona. It is Donald Trump. This is what he has done. It is his legacy.

The ‘good’ is we are identifying those scared, racist misogynic religious assholes. We are going to have to let them step forward, and express their feelings. Then, we will see if there are more good people than bad in the USA.

Sure he does: that’s the blue guy on TV that Eric keeps talking to.

Chump is Baltimore bound after calling the city rat-infested. Well, it will be once he arrives.

I look forward to the day the Republican Party is outlawed a la the Nazi Party in Germany.

Actually, the idea that they’re dirty comes from their spending a lot of time in garbage and sewers and being linked to serious illnesses (you may have heard of a little epidemic called the Black Plague). Maybe Anglos consider them “scheming” and it’s something that’s got its origins in antisemitism, I’ll take your word for it, but it’s the first time I hear about it; dirty, that’s in every culture that’s met rats.

No, that’s one thing you can’t really blame him for. We’ve pretty much always thought that. Or at least since Kennedy died. Or sometime after then - maybe since Reagan? Or maybe since 1948 - that’s when “Ugly American” was coined. But in any case, it was solidly cemented in the Bush era.

I had no idea.

Lou Dobbs says The White House is a Great Place to Work!

“Sunshine beaming throughout the place”??? I don’t care where you work. If you describe it that way, something’s wrong. People don’t even describe Disney that way.

The opioid epidemic reaches all levels of society.
