Also, I don't think you realize how much one person can go through when that is literally their freaking job. You can probably go through hundreds of people a day working at various places. Combine that with thousands of people and you can go through millions pretty fast.

Not sure I follow. *He* made the Democrats cave by giving them CHIP funding for 6 years, and kicking the can down the road by 18 days... This time they can pursue their DACA thingie without worrying about CHIP falling through?

That's one hell of a subtle win for the Right if so. I'm not 100% convinced here.

From what I understand, CHIP got the funding it was supposed to. Meaning neither side has to bitch about the other holding kids or whatever hostage.

But otherwise, you are right. It literally is just "We will figure this out later."

Umm... This qualifies as news in what world? I'm not a fan of Trump (I personally despise him), but this is just absurd.
Imitating someone's voice isn't a meaningful sign of anything. Everyone does it, but it isn't seen as some terrible thing. It wasn't in a public setting, just him talking off the record.

I'm assuming this is supposed to tie into him being racist given their mention of the shithole country thing, but imitating one person's voice, even if they are from another country or PoC and it is mocking, doesn't mean you are mocking an entire people or race.

He does shit that is actually meaningful and worth complaining about. This shit just exhausts everyone who comes across it so they have less energy for the meaningful stuff.

Goddammit, Trump.

Next it'll be "Pregnant Immigrants Learn To Birth Children Over Mexican Border Like Mortars."
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

It would be further testament to Trump's near pathological racism, a President making fun of an Indian prime minister with a mangled stereotypical Indian voice reminiscent of Hank Azaria's Apu.

I forgot if this was posted, but a man was arrested for threatening to kill CNN employees. I think it is fairly safe to say he may have been radicalized by Trump. Yup, we have potential domestic terrorists radicalized by our President's rhetoric.
