Yeah....thinking for myself and being rational is hilarioous. Sad part is you played this shtick once before, got called on it, and admitted you were trolling.
Now maybe bring me a size 10?

No, he's clearly a dick. As is Durbin...his name is actually Dick Durbin.
But you're being a useful idiot here. I already explained why. Identify policitcs just confirm useful idiotness.
posted by jmogActually so far everyone else at the meeting has denied hearing any such comment.
That isn't true. Lindsey Graham didn't directly confirm Trump said it, he (also) didn't deny it.
“Following comments by the president, I said my piece directly to him yesterday," Graham said in a statement.
"The president and all those attending the meeting know what I said and how I feel," he added. "I’ve always believed that America is an idea, not defined by its people but by its ideals."
Look at all of the facts, Trump is a racist.
I think at this point, thanks to the college mentality that we've seen under the microscope for the past two years and the Trump thing, all words flung about like bigot, any "ism", any "phobic", any racial accusation - has all been eroded to the point where it is now just low rent. There is the argument that this is a good thing because now the connotations don't have the pull that they once had, meaning that people aren't as affected by those terms when they once were. People think that this will erode the post modern identity politics that the left wants to smother everyone else with. But again, this just makes those terms and the continuous outrage that goes along with it... low rent.

The only "fact" you presented here was that Lindsey Graham didn't really say anything as evidence.
For the record, I believe that he did say it. While I might agree that there are shithole countries, I don't think it's Trump's job to verbalize it in that manner. He has never kept his mouth shut, I don't expect him to keep his mouth shut in the future. He is mostly unpresidential and shouldn't surprise anybody at this point. Disappoint/disgust them - yes. Surprise? No.

This guy’s not just a raging asshole, he’s a fucking idiot if he thinks he can talk to a congretinal delegation in the Oval Office like this. He does this shit to shock people and the gets off watching them react. Classic bully move. He is a sick man.
Were into a new age where most of you people have lost your minds so completely over Trump, that anyone who has the nerve to not fall in lockstep with the “torch and pitchfork” brigade immediately gets branded with the “Trump Supporter” label - usually with an over abundance of mouth foaming.
Also, anyone who honestly thinks this is the worst thing ever said by a POTUS in a closed door meeting is pretty dumb.

And as a reminder, Durban is the one that said a republican senator said they “couldn’t even look at Obama” in a similar closed door meeting
The Obama admin and everyone else at the meeting denied it happened.
He has a past of making crap up against Rs out of closed door meetings.
I've heard fewer denials than alleged adults claiming they can't remember what they heard, which is suspiciously similar to Clinton's queries regarding the meaning of the word "is".

As opposed to the "old age" where most of "you people" were losing your minds so completely over Obama? I mean, the old site is archived somewhere in teh interwebs, so anyone can look up eight years of conservative tears if they so choose. The only difference now is that the whiners are cheering and the cheerers are whining.

It's a general truth that anyone who gets off on the term "libtard" like he does is probably a full-on "R-tard" since anyone who is legitimately intelligent knows both parties are two sides of the same coin. As Gore Vidal once said (paraphrasing time!), we have one party in the US: the property party and it has two wings, R and D.

LMFAO. I mean, again LMFAO.
If you want to argue actual fact, science or policy, please attempt to do so. Otherwise you ARE a libtard, hence the term and frequent use.
There are useful idiots on both sides, and I will admit to lazily using libtard to describe those on one side. You MIGHT not be a libtard, but then you don't really seem to make much of an effort not to be one...by choice or otherwise.

You have to live in a completey alternate universe to think it's equivalent, on Fox News or anywhere else. You have to go deep in the bowels of right-wing dark web to see the same unhinged lying and overreaction wrt Obam as you get with Trump on MAINSTREAM media.
And I say that as someone who thinks Trump is an embarassing retard. If you want me to stop calling you a libtard, then stop being one.

LMFAO...two negs from two of the biggest useful idiots on this site.
And it's BIPARTISAN!!!! One from the left, one from the right. I kind of feel like that's validation for what I said.

You’re a moron.
Occasionally i do think the left wing media reports something unfair about Trump. I almost want to defend him. But then he opens his mouth 100 times and indefensible shit comes out of it so...

Actually Graham said he didn’t recall, which is what I said originally on this thread, that everyone else in the room but Durbin either denied it was said or couldn’t recall.
My question to you, did you call Obama a racist when he said the same thing about Libya?
If not you are a hypocrite.
posted by HereticI've heard fewer denials than alleged adults claiming they can't remember what they heard, which is suspiciously similar to Clinton's queries regarding the meaning of the word "is".
From what I could count 2 “couldn’t recall”, Durbin is the lone “he said it”, rest denied.
I believe he very well could have said it and if he did it would be extremely tasteless as a POTUS but not even close to racist.
FYI, I thought it was tasteless when Obama said the same thing about Libya. Tasteless but never crossed my mind as racist.

Well, I suppose we need to agree to disagree. Obama referring to someplace as a "shit show" because of being an ISIS haven is not the same as Trump referring to Haitians and African countries as shitholes.

Size 10, please
About the Libya/Haiti comments and the disparity of outrage over them: I think it just goes to show how quickly we've willingly chosen to be outraged in the past few years.
