Personally I wouldn't use the word "impressed". You don't get points in my book for showing basic human decency. More like I was "pleasantly surprised" that he did the right thing instead of catering to the more "alt-right" members among his supporters by not mentioning it at all. Especially with Bannon on his team. That being said, had those Jewish cemeteries not been vandalized on such a large scale along with the 100+ bomb threats at Jewish community centers in 2017 ... I would bet money that he wouldn't have mentioned the shooting by that racist redneck in MO.

Never even heard of the book until now.

I gather whatever can be said for the book, it's well written, which no doubt bears some responsibility for its popularity.

It's hard to tell how much is racism and how much is classism.

So, the WH isn't commenting on the wiretap because it's an ongoing investigation.

I get a "let's just use those words everybody else uses and see if people buy it" vibe.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

I think Trump is far more classist than he is racist, despite the narrative jerk being in the opposite direction.

Because of my displeasure with the narrative jerk on Trump, I'm approaching Bannon's with caution.

I have to note here, I'm not questioning whether Trump or Bannon are loathsome people. I'm arguing the precise manner of loathsome is relevant because that's the target which needs to get hit.

Classist.

Cracking down on illegal immigration is classist, as is appointing billionaire executives to his cabinet, diddling with Obamacare, and playing tons of golf

I'll grant the cop thing.

The Muslim ban is pretty incoherent, drug law enforcement could mean anything, and voter ID is partyist.

The golf was a joke.

I made the point about pot in the Sessions' thread. State law is how drug policy gets used against minorities.

When it comes to the Muslim ban, what makes it not racist is it doesn't apply to Saudis, and a bunch of other Muslim countries.

With the IDs, the race of the people affected is irrelevant. I'd say that does change the racism profile.

It's the elephant in the room, that everyone wants to pretend isn't there. There are several prominent psychotherapists who have said so, and I know one very well. my ex, who agrees. It's an incurable illness, and a narcissist like him will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, admit they're wrong.They use people for their means, and destroy people when they get in the way. There are two main reasons he ran in the first place; to bolster his insatiable ego, with the word "President" on his resume, and to use the office of the presidency to bolster his business connections. That's it. He speaks at a fifth grade level, and now it's coming out that he also reads at that level.

Any one who thinks that donald trump cares about them is naive at best, and an utter fool if they keep believing, due to what's readily available to see him as.

He is, IN FACT, mentally unstable, and he's being played by the Republicans, and Steve Bannon, to get their objectives accomplished, just like he played tens of millions to get in the White House. History is replete with examples of populations that were conned into believing what they wanted to believe, to achieve some murderous thug's goals.

I came from such a country in 1953, when my parents emigrated to the U S. Although the circumstances weren't exactly the same, those people were conned into believing their economy was a shambles because of a certain ethnic group. Six million were gassed, along with left handed people, homosexuals, gypsies, people of color, and anyone else who wasn't "pure" Aryan! My father marched in the German Army, into Russia, and what he saw affected him until his dying day!

When I was put into first grade, a few weeks after arriving, we had air raid drills, because the scare then was communism. Even then I thought it utterly stupid to think that a desk was going to save me from a bomb, but we had to play along. Communism remained a scare until the mid 70s, when we got our asses handed to us in Vietnam, despite the French warning us not to go there.

The scare du jour now is the Muslims, whom simple minded people that know nothing about them have painted as a barbaric, murderous culture, because some one on Fox News told them to. Never mind the fact that an American is more likely to get killed by his own lawn mower, or by a toddler picking up a loose gun, and that right wing white "Christian" radicals kill more Americans every year than Muslims do; uneducated people need someone else to be afraid of, as they wander blissfully unaware through life, never being afraid to show the rest of the world how much they know, but how little they really understand!

It may shock some, but I agree. However, there's been so much classism from the other direction for so long (against the "1%"), any amount going the other way is going to feel more pronounced.

Donald needs to have some of his events at places that don't have his name on them. Just to even out the distribution of his fame, the perception of favor-gathering, and the opportunity for rubbernecking. Or he should even dine quietly behind a screen at a small chinese restaurant like the Bush family did, discreetly without fuss.

Those days are gone. Obama set the bar as the first "rock star" president, making practically everything a media event while he pontificates to the crowds. I'm sick of seeing that red-faced orangutan, but it is what it is.

Yes, but Obama didn't have his events all at places that he owned, feathering his own nest at the same time. It's not the rock star bit that I mind, so much, sure that's the 24-news-cycle modern world... but come on, he's soaking all this money in from the presidential name and fame. Take the crew to some other fancy restaurant. If he's for "the little guy" he shouldn't be putting smaller restaurants out of business.

And Trump continues to insult the intelligence of all but is most stupid and/or willfully blind supporters.

The unemployment numbers candidate Donald Trump assailed for months on the campaign trail as "phony" and fictional are suddenly up to snuff.

The numbers haven't changed, nor has the Bureau of Labor Statistics' methodology for compiling them, but with the jobless rate ticking down and hiring on the rise, Trump is eager to point to the economic indicators as a sign that his presidency has been a boon for the economy.

"I talked to the President prior to this and he said to quote him very clearly: 'They may have been phony in the past, but it's very real now,' " Spicer said Friday from the White House podium, hours after the government announced 235,000 new jobs in February and a dip in the unemployment rate to 4.7% from 4.8%.


Spicer's response prompted inevitable laughter in a room of reporters mindful of Trump's repeated smear of government-compiled jobs numbers.

"Don't believe these phony numbers when you hear 4.9 (%) and 5% unemployment," Trump told his supporters after winning the New Hampshire primary in early 2016. "The number's probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42%."

In other instances, Trump suggested the unemployment number could be anywhere between 18% and 42%, calling the official number everything from "total fiction" to "one of the biggest hoaxes in American modern politics."


The refrain was a familiar one for Trump, who continued to cast doubt on the monthly unemployment figure throughout his campaign -- likely because the downward-trending stat signaled an economy on the upswing under President Barack Obama, whom Trump lampooned daily as ineffective on the stump.
Trump held up little evidence on the campaign to back up his suggestion that the unemployment numbers were "phony," other than to claim that his rallies would not be so well-attended if the unemployment number was really just around 5%.

But Trump's mistrust of the unemployment figure went deeper than cautious skepticism.

That's because Trump also ascribed a motive, suggesting -- without evidence -- that the figures were being falsified to make Obama look like a more successful president.

All of that was gone Friday morning as the numbers were announced.

It's easier to guard and control a place you own. He's had more death threats since the election than Obama did during his first 4 years.

That's the point. The amount of control he has over the MSM, making them run around in circles, is damned impressive. Sure, the people who hate him will only hate him more, but he doesn't give a single shit what they think.

This is unmitigated bullshit. It's easier to guard an control a place that's easier to guard and control. If all else were equal, maybe there is a small advantage to you owning the facility, but if security was actually a concern, he would be at the White House or Camp David.

Considering the according to the Secret Service, the rate of death threats against Obama were up over 400% compared to GWB, this sounds like a fabricated statistic. Do you have a credible citation for it?

I think we are in an era now where politicians don't even have to try hard to lie because it is so easy to get away with things. For example, Trump saying that his electoral college victory was the biggest since Reagan... Not egregious in severity, I will grant you, but just soooo lazy. Either he is lying to the public or an adviser lied to him and he repeated this.

Either way, obviously there wasn't much of an attempt to verify facts before saying this publicly. Why? Because it doesn't matter, there aren't really any consequences.

There are no consequences for a politician because the MSM itself lies so frequently.

I could use some further explanation on this one as to how exactly. I've also seen it argued that illegal immigration is useful for the rich, thereby making it classist in both states. But, it's only racist in one.

Looking at federal statistics, the vast majority of federal drug prisoners are non-white. I assume anyone Sessions targets will not be going to state jail.

This is absurd. It's the "I have a black friend" defense. I posit this: Is it easier to get a muslim ban enacted if you ban all countries or only a few countries?

If you want to get rid of all muslims, do you only take a binary position, or do you take what you can get?

It wouldn't work if it didn't disproportionately impact one race. They are intrinsically linked.

Ok, let me approach this another way: Wouldn't the timing of the promulgation of these laws indicate racist intent?

---

Allow me to make my point another way: Including past GOP administrations of the last 30 years or so, where would you rank this one in terms of most overtly impacting or targeting people of color in the US?

This absolutely should be true. It almost certainly isn't. Though I'm sure Trump says it is.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Yes - you specifically mentioned that he turned everything into a media event, but the only source I could find was news conferences. I assume your source covered media events in total, which is why I was looking forward to reading it once you provided it.
