...causing huge fissures in the ability to be mentally and emotionally stable. 

Some waitress allegedly spit on Eric Trump yesterday in Chicago.  Incredible.

You're absolutely right.  People are not being taught how to cope with adversity and how to disagree maturely.  Although I wonder what role social media plays - it certainly doesn't encourage or teach being respectful to people.

This whole twitter thread is a statement on the current stage of progressivism, critical race theory, "kind of reparations" and artwork that is considered harmful. 

I'm really starting to think that the whole "remove this from my eyesight because I'm traumatized by it" mentality that is taught to our young people is causing huge fissures in the ability to be mentally and emotionally stable. 

It said the school paid $600,000 to paint over it.  Jesus.

The inflammatory hyperbolic rhetoric is what irritates me.  Concentration camps?!?  That's a long-running bipartisan problem.  She needs dick slapped for that comment.

Agreed (of course, she'd use the fact that you said "dick slapped" to say you're e-assaulting her or something).  While I agree that the conditions are below a minimum that we should insist on (we let serial killers shower with soap and sleep in a bed, for example), and while I agree we should insist on better, equating that to gassing people in death chambers is a textbook case of a false dilemma.

And he said that it means he's "winning."

The waitress should be fired for not being able to adequately serve the public if she knows she disagrees with his or her politics, and she should spend some time in brutal introspection.

Meanwhile, his response makes him sound as smart as a potato.

And, yet, Ivanka is supposedly quite intelligent.  I think the Trump 'Y' chromosome must be partially degenerate.

Also, way to be on the ball, Secret Service....I'm sure she didn't look like a crazy pyscho bitch, at all, as she walked right up to him.

I never knew much about Ivanka, but I know Melania is actually supposed to be really smart too.

As for the Secret Service ... it's definitely not a good look.  I'm imagining Donald ordering something like that, though.  Just for the lulz.  "If you see someone coming to take out that little shit, just let them through.  Just don't worry about the aftermath.  I'll get you a decent pension and fly you to a new country to start over."

About a question that had nothing to do with his answer. Corey Booker side eyed him like what in the fuck. Glad twitter exists for this bc how can anyone watch.

Again also over policing in poor

Crime rates are reported crimes, not crimes that were solved and had arrests  so over policing couldn’t cause blacks to have higher crime rates.

I avoided the debate, because I honestly don't think they're helpful or informative this early, but I had to look that up.

Booker's reaction is perfect for how weird a flex that was.  He and Warren both played the "don't look directly at him" game because of how awkward it was.

If Trump says says to one of those clowns in a debate "English, motherfuckers" then I might just have to vote for him.

No no no....Don't learn English, I'll become bilingual.  How insensitive of me to think otherwise.

Honestly, I now want to see a debate between Beto (only speaking Spanish), that South African guy who faked ASL at the Mandela memorial, and Vermin Supreme.

I would pay money.  Seriously, you could put that shit on HBO and charge pay-per-view for it.

Happened to see AOC was on Colbert.  Came out to a standing ovation and the crowd started chanting "A....O.....C.....A...O....C".  I thought about watching, then decided I can't listen to that dingbat.

This country is fucking doomed.

Checking out Twitter right now, I'm seeing a lot of progressive, very left people making fun of last night's debates. I didn't watch it but I've seen enough clips and quotes to make me glad I didn't.

The biggest takeaways from what I could tell through clips and twitter commentary 1) (And of course the people I follow would say this) is that the left has gone WAY left: Full repeal of private insurance, banning all semi-autos,etc and 2) Warren should have been the star and faded away after the first 30 minutes. 

Oh, and Castro said that trans women (men) should be able to have abortions.

I might be wrongheaded here, but here's my thoughts:

I think the "normies", who are what is called the exhausted majority, are going to see these debates and nope themselves right out of that ideology. Then they will make the choice to stick with the devil that they already know. 

I'm here like JFC come on.

Millions of people on the social medias and youtube screaming from the proverbial rooftops that the dems can beat Trump if they don't go crazy. AND THEN LAST NIGHT HAPPENED.

Yeah, but then Booker went on and did the exact same dang thing later on.

 

I think Booker's side eye was more "oh crap, he took my thunder as I was going to do that later" or "oh crap, nice job now I have to do that later".

I couldn't stop watching, kind of like driving by a train wreck, you just can't take your eyes off it.
