Are we supposed to take him seriously but not literally but maybe figuratively and also jokingly and perhaps hypothetically but never ironically or always cynically?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

how about this...how about you take him as seriously as you took Biden, when he told
a roomful of blacks, that republicans “ want to put y’all back in chains.”

i bet you didn’t give a rats azz when Biden said that. but when Trump does it, then all of a sudden words matter.

whet trump said was so
stupid i don’t know how to describe it exactly. 3 of the 4 were born here. plus, it shifts the focus away from the idiotic policies those 4 advocate for, and puts the focus on trumps idiotic temper and stupid mouth. it was a gift to democrats. keep the focus on what those 4 dingbat broads would
do to this country if they could. it was one of the stupidest things he has said, and that’s really saying something. But not racist either.

What about..........

He's quit using dogwhistles and now just says it pretty plainly.

I'll translate his words for you: You aren’t really Americans… you are aliens… go back to the sh*thole countries you came from.

Claiming he's not a racist is bull*, he is a white supremacist from rent only to Jews and executives to You know you don't want to live with them either to birtherism to Mexican rapists to Muslim bans to the “fine people” in Charlottesville.

But the only acceptable position for a Trumplican is to fall in line because he said he's the least racist person.

if you don’t like statements that start with “what about”, then stop being such a naked hypocrite. stop criticizing trump for things that others got a free pass for doing.

since when did it become invalid or worthless to say “what about”, when pointing out glaring hypocrisy? when trump got inaugurated, that’s when. sorry pete, what’s good for the goose, is good for trumps gander, liberals live to have it both ways.

is it “racist” to say that Somalia is a dysfunctional country with a crime problem? i don’t think so. i guess you do. at least when trump says it.
