And the reddit link was mostly to see the reaction from members like you.
It is this kind of crap from the right wingers here that pisses me off.
Hating on Amy Schumer and Rosie O’Donnel should be bringing us all together.
The Person in Question
Is it alright to insult someone if they’re an awful person?
Let’s assume you think Rosie O’Donnell is an awful person. It’s alright to insult her for being awful, not for being overweight.
Donald Trump is a vile person but I never insult his appearance.

I wasn’t thinking it was Rosie.
Trump’s example of voter fraud: famous golfer barred from voting because…wait for it…he’s German and not eligible to vote.

Spit it out then.
And my point stands regardless.

Not to burst the bubble here but I think you’ve taken a few pot-shots at his hair and possibly his skin tone. 😉

She’s problematic as a person but to insult her by comparing her to a whale is crossing a line, especially considering she has a relatively average body size.

No idea who that is.

Oh my god, I skipped over the part where he’s racist.
Ahead of and behind Mr. Langer were voters who did not look as if they should be allowed to vote, Mr. Trump said, according to the staff members — but they were nonetheless permitted to cast provisional ballots. The president threw out the names of Latin American countries that the voters might have come from.
I could of sworn that looks were not a basis for judging whether or not someone is eligible to vote.
I wonder if when my Chinese-American niece is 18, if she will look to Trump like she should be allowed to vote.
Watch the personal attacks, everyone. This is starting to look like the old politics thread.
Expressing disdain over someone’s opinion or 4th-grade-level humor is fine, but just calling them an asshole doesn’t cut it.

I don’t know what you mean by “allowed” but making jokes about someone’s weight is kind of shitty, and there’s no “anymore” about it.

For what it’s worth, my comments were mainly aimed towards whoever made that joke on reddit or whatever in the first place (though I can’t deny that I do believe there is an element of guilty by association). Will try to be a bit more careful with my language the future
I do believe, though, that there’s more to criticize than just having an immature sense of humor. I guess instead of asshole I could have said immature, thoughtless, mean-spirited, demeaning, and needlessly insulting person. Less concise but more accurate I guess.
Trump has his fingers in his ears over Russia but when it comes to conspiracy theories he’s all over it.
I found the first case they can investigate!
In a pair of tweets early on Wednesday morning, Trump said that arrangements such as Bannon’s were unacceptable as he appeared to threaten a crackdown on access to the ballot box.
“I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and … even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures!” the president wrote.
And because I know it’ll be brought up:
It is not in itself illegal to be registered to vote in two states. It would be illegal to cast ballots in two different states. Many states have their own laws about who qualifies to register to vote in their elections, typically based on whether a person actually lives in a residence there.
But the fact that the President thinks it is makes it funny.

This just in: Donald Trump has no idea what he’s doing.
At least when the economy is destroyed and Russia and China have eclipsed America on the world stage and control all trade and the global economy because we’ve pulled out of everything and into our little isolationist bubble (which worked out amazingly well for feudal Japan), there won’t be any dirty foreigners stealing jobs from hard workin’, honest Americans.

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-emails-rnc-reince-priebus-white-house-server-548191
Senior Trump administration staffers including Kellyanne Conway, Jared Kushner, Sean Spicer and Steve Bannon have active accounts on a Republican National Committee email system, Newsweek has learned.
The system (rnchq.org) is the same one the George W. Bush administration was accused of using to evade transparency rules after claiming to have “lost” 22 million emails.
Making use of separate political email accounts at the White House is not illegal. In fact, they serve a purpose by allowing staff to divide political conversations (say, arranging for the president to support a congressional re-election campaign) from actual White House work. Commingling politics and state business violates the Hatch Act, which restricts many executive branch employees from engaging in political activity on government time.
But after then-candidate Donald Trump and the Republicans repeatedly called for “locking up” Hillary Clinton for handling government work with a private server while secretary of state, the new White House staff risks repeating the same mistake that dogged the Democrat’s presidential campaign. They also face a security challenge: The RNC email system, according to U.S. intelligence, was hacked during the 2016 race. “They better be careful after making such a huge ruckus over the private email over at the State Department,” says former Bush administration lawyer Richard Painter.
Is this not the exact reason many people claimed to not be voting for Hillary? Am I wrong?
Donald Trump, the man who ran an entire campaign on how Hillary shouldn’t be president because of her private email server now has his very own private email server. But now it’s suddenly okay? Can anyone defend this?
Why am I not even a tiny bit surprised?
How can anyone be happy with how this presidency has been so far? It’s not even about policy anymore, this dickwad has been objectively bad in so many ways. The fact that those on the right will still defend shows how blindly partisan some are.
As far as I know, no-one has stated or found that this private server is in his home. They have to follow the Disclosure Rules set out in 2014 which is something that Hillary Clinton did not do so until something actually happens they are within the Governments own regulations on such matters.
Yeah, they’re just using the same system that “lost” twenty-two million emails during the Bush administration.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) accused Bush White House staffers in 2007 of using the system to evade transparency.
The rnchq.org email system was involved in the loss of 22 million Bush administration emails, Newsweek reported, many from around the start of the Iraq War.
Former President Obama’s administration found the lost emails after private lawsuits were filed, it added.

President Trump’s younger daughter, Tiffany Trump, is registered to vote in two different states, reports revealed Wednesday after her father categorized being registered in two states as “voter fraud.”

Thanks Jay, I was having fun with this thread until I started catching up with the last couple pages.

I guess the justification is that if you help pay for it, you should be able to make sure it’s something you agree with? Because that’s how science works now?
I know a bunch of us were all doom and gloom leading up to this (Warbler), but I honestly never expected this much drastic shit would come down in the first week. The Republican Party must be pleased, they can pass all of their extreme ideas using Trump’s executive orders as a scapegoat. “What, I didn’t think bringing back torture was a good idea, TRUMP did!” “I honestly didn’t think Mexico would pay us to build a wall keeping their people out, TRUMP did!”

By current society’s standards, she is fat…which is kind of the point. It’s shitty to pick on anyone’s appearance, but picking on a woman’s weight is extra shitty given that women are considered overweight if they don’t look like a stick.
