Earned extra points in my book. It's absolutely true that we don't have to hate the rest of the world but we need to fix our problems before solving everyone else's.

Honest question: is wanting to secure our nation's border and enforce LEGAL immigration racist?

Because that seems to be the ONLY thing the Democrats can seem to run on. And it's quite pathetic.

Sometimes the guy knows how to talk well, and sometimes he doesn't.

This was a very good example of him talking well Also, I have been very supportive of how he sees the Democrats since day 1, it is always "If they want to support it then they support it, otherwise it's not my fault things get passed".

No. But fear mongering over a "caravan" a thousand miles away, describing them as criminals, terrorists, diseased, etc while trying to get your base excited by claiming you will end the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th amendment IS pretty fucking racist.

If Trump's positions were rational he wouldn't need to resort to flat out lies and hyperbole with every statement.

Seeking asylum is 100% legal. The can be denied, obviously but to apply for asylum, you have to go to a port of entry. Sorry, NPC.

She's asking a valid question, and it isn't a racist question. He isn't able to answer questions, as with any politician, except he's even worse.

It's really just PBS playing the identity politics game. Nobody expects answers to these types of loaded questions.

His words HAVE emboldened white nationalists. Irrefutable.

Simply talking about race issues isn't racist. If your words are cited as emboldening white nationalists, by white nationalists themselves, you are emboldening white nationalists, who are thusly carrying out discriminatory and/or violent actions towards ethnic minorities (or majorities, for that matter). If someone cites you as an influence, you best be willing to account for it. Most politicians would do something still in poor taste, but in less poor taste than Trump. He attacks the reporter, and denounces her as racist, something of which is she only implying Trump's association with. Answer to that association, and denounce it with conviction. Other politicians would at least pull other excuses out of their asses, along the lines of blaming mental illness, but promoting little policy to assist in treating it. Instead, stoking the fire inside the brains of the mentally ill. lmao America blows

Not really a 'loaded question' if you have command over a vocabulary as opposed to only having the ability to verbally degrade those that present opposition.

Jesus Christ, asking basic questions is race-baiting and stirring up discord?

This is what is wrong with this country, there are two competing ideologies, and neither side is willing to step down from their high horse and accept the others. If you believe it's an honest question then the president gave an honest answer. It is pretty obvious he used White Nationalists and viral campaigning, and Russians and whatever else was at his disposal to get the presidency, whether or not that matters anymore really don't matter as he has fulfilled very few of his campaign promises and probably never will because congress will not allow him to because the corporations pay congress.

This is all a distraction, the question and its answer are meaningless when everyone already knows the answer and the reporter knew the response to the question before it was even asked.

Also the media does this on a daily basis, and will continue to do it on a daily basis forever because it generates discord.

wew.

I suppose I, as a Canadian person with an outside view, am on a highhorse, as are most people on both sides of the so-called "great debate" of American politics. I simply suggest that people heavily familiarize themselves with as much world history from 1900 until now. I hope that assists in informing peoples views towards how the world is currently operating.

I definitely often do feel the same way as I am reading you to feel: fairly nihilistic. However, I DO believe it matters that these are methods at someone's disposal to ascend to the highest office of the USA.

It sure is a distraction, seeing as Donald Trump will never answer a question directly, as the majority of politicians do not. However, I do believe that questions are worth asking. I do not think that asking questions should create discord, and I believe people need to read/digest their news more objectively, and with less emotion (both sides). That being said, I find policies enacted by Republicans/Conservatives to be generally more destructive than Democrats/Liberals, as of such, I welcome constructed criticism of their actions. This reporter was measured and calm in my view, and Donald Trump was not. Call it a distraction (it is, watching most news is a giant waste of time), but I wouldn't dismiss it completely.

I'm constantly bemused by individuals denouncing the media, but supporting other garbage media. I enjoy reading my news from a variety of sources, and gleaning what I can from the most straightforward and least sensationalist views on events. If Americans hate "the media" so much, why are CNN and Fox still so successful? Americans are hypocrites.
---

I have a Canadian friend who thinks very similar to you, the problem that I face in explaining things to him is that the terms we use are the same but the meanings are different.

We do not have a left-leaning party in our government. We have a conservative party, and a slightly less conservative party that acts like they care about peoples feelings. Both groups are basically mouthpieces for the corporations.

The media are corporations. They have their own interests. Political pundits make millions of dollars a year, much more than you or I and live in places like New York City, both them and their bosses know nothing about the normal day to day plights of American citizens. They are also vying for power as more and more people leave television behind and the boomers die out.

Now I listen to a lot of news off of Youtube, people who say that the media is bad (in very similar ways to the whole "orange man bad thing"). I don't trust them either. Those content creators operate very similar to how the media operates, they pander to an audience to make money, some of them making over a hundred thousand dollars a year just to talk in front of a mic for a couple of hours a night.

But I digress, the important part about the media is that they're a control game. The media exists to control, and make money from controlling. It is as you say, a distraction.

But what has the President done recently? That's a really good question really. Nomination of Kavanaugh comes to mind, and not much else.

Edit: I guess an easy way to see what the president has done this year would be to look at the list of EOs and Acts passed by Congress:

I get you. Really, Canada isn't much different at the Federal level. If you don't like the youtube news you watch, why watch it? People seem to love Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro...I'd name some lefties but none come to mind...but most of em just want your goddamn money like the big guys!
---

Jordan Peterson is at the very top of people who want your money. Guy makes over a million dollars a year and doesn't even practice what he preaches (and I mean he actually preaches these things like a religion).

But I agree with you there is a very weird vacuum of no lefties on Youtube. It's weird.

Nope. It's national security. There are people of ALL races who are trying to get in illegally.

It's just idiots trying to push the notion of Trump being a "white supremacist", even though even very basic research of his past records over the decades basically shows that he is anything but.

Agreed. People hear his arguments, and immediately bash him for being a racist.

It makes no sense to me.

He wants to enforce LEGAL immigration. He wants them to come into this country!!!! He has even admitted that we NEED them to come into this country because we need that workforce! HOWEVER.....he wants them to do it LEGALLY!!!! And people still bitch and moan that the President is "racist". It's such a pathetic mentality to have.

Yes, some things Trump has said could be seen as favorable by white nationalists, but that doesn't mean Trump is a white nationalist!!!!

I'm sure there are a few Neo-Nazis out there who are big fans of the animated movie Frozen. But that doesn't fucking mean that Disney caters to Nazis!!!!!! lmao

I swear, people will say and do whatever it takes to make headlines. Stir the pot. Sidestep the issue.

Problem is thats such a dumb subjective way of portraying a problem. I mean if you live in a place that have large demographics. You are gonna have morons who probably are supremacist for their belief.. there is gonna be that one little percent of morons who yell this stuff, aslong as you just say "hey you guys are idiots and dont platform them or give them voice" thats what just needs to be done. That does not in anyway make it right. But that doesnt mean there isnt dumb supremacist of any other kind, white supremacy, black supremacy or any other form of supremacy. Point is we have to agree that supremacy whether it is jewish, black, white whatever is just flat out moronic. Like they are americans first. But you gotta face reality too... majority is a majority for a reason, i mean there is a thing such as large demographics, should i whine if i live in Africa and be surprised that.. whoopedy doo, most dont look like me. But one thing that is insanely dumb... is because there are a minority living there. One of the worst thing to do is to treat them like they dont have value. That is what is bad here, same with supremacy its all stupid more or less.

But really what is the left wingers suggesting here? Sterilizing people to stop a large demographics? Because in reality the best way is to try to understand one another is in my view the best way to try to work together and build stuff. like look i believe in unity through diversity "as in being different is ok" and teamwork is what makes a strong team, and i am a believer in that stuff

No its not. Saying you dont want criminals is normal. Comparing however legal black and white natively born americans to illegals is however racist.

btw when i mean "unity through diversity"

Only thing i am willing to not let into the system is two things "totalitaranism... and mafia religious cultures" since those are two main sets of death and violence throughout history. Example of mafia religious cultures

Traditional Christianity "catholicism/orthodoxy christianity.. i mean i dont think orthodox christianity has had a blood history as catholic christianity... But it has same core principles as in establishment is the authority" protestantism while you can try anything better... but i wont say it is mafia religious culture, its more having bible as main authority, thats why it can be institutions within a institution is kinda how it works like.

Sunni islam, ( i know nothing of shia so cant comment on that ) but over 80% of muslims are sunni and i have read, studied hadith collections on sunnah.com. And it has mafia religious culture the same way traditional christianity is like.

To sum it up. Totalitarianism or mafia religious cultures are two things that historically and present time tends to leads to death and violence from what i understand.

But look i believe in common understanding. But i am critical of bad ideas being the core of open. This is why totaltiarianism and religious cultures affects that in someway.

But if i were to say what i believe in. Theism, i mean i believe in God of obvious good and evil. I just think Abrahamic ones were made out of spite, not to find truth. And what if one enters death for thinking about certain groups in a certain way?. I just dont think in black and white views about certain people. So its what i mean when i think there is a God of obvious good and evil, and thats it. Since humans are flawed beings.
